ColourPop Blowzy & Dumpling Ultra Glossy Lips Reviews & Swatches
Blowzy
ColourPop Blowzy Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium, pinky-coral with flecks of gold sparkle. It had sheer coverage–just as described–that spread evenly and smoothly across my lips with a high-shine finish and a dusting of sparkle. The gloss had a lightweight, smooth, lightly creamy texture that wasn’t sticky and smoothed out my lip lines. This shade lasted for two and a half hours but was moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview
$10.00/0.11 oz. - $90.91 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "hi-shine" with a "non-sticky" texture that "feels amazing" and includes five finishes "from 3-D pearl to sheer tinted colour." They are designed to be a sheerer formula, so many shades are sheer with a smattering of shimmer or sparkle and then a few are more tinted with sheer to semi-sheer coverage but no shimmer. Each gloss has a short, brush-type applicator, which worked better than I expected and didn't leave streaky results behind (in general). They had a sweet, vanilla scent but no discernible taste.
The "Tinted" finish ("glass-like shine with tint of sheer colour and no shimmer") was the least consistent--sometimes prone to unevenness and getting into lip lines, particularly with deeper/richer shades, whereas Pearlescent ("glass-like shine with subtle shimmer") and Prismatic ("glass-like shine with floating multi dimensional pearl and glitters") are sheer to translucent with the major difference being finer shimmer in the Pearlescent finish and larger, more glitter-like particles in the Prismatic finish. Both finishes tended to look plush and more smoothing on my lips. The Creme finish is a "medium-coverage gloss with a creamy finish that does not contain any pearls or glitter." The Metallic is described as a "full-coverage gloss with a mix of pearl and metallic finishes."
The wear time varied by shade but the sheerer ones tended to wear between two and three hours as the formula was, indeed, non-sticky and smooth, which made them lighter-weight and comfortable to wear but shorter wearing. A lot of the sheerer shades ran together, so I would recommend just picking up one or two rather than several as the differences are likely to be lost! Also, keep in mind that sheerer lip colors can look different from person to person due to much of the natural lip color coming through.

Dumpling
ColourPop Dumpling Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium, peachy coral with warm undertones and a creamy finish. Surprisingly, this was described as a “sheer peach,” though it was more semi-opaque in coverage. I could dab it on and spread the color out with my lips or fingertip to get sheer coverage, but if I used the same amount as other Ultra Glossy Lips, it was definitely not sheer. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and non-sticky, which made it comfortable to wear and easy to spread. There was some product that gathered in my lip lines, and it did not go on as evenly as desired (slight streaking along the edges, too). It wore well for three hours and was hydrating over time.

In spite of it being sheer, I actually love how Blowzy adds just a little pinkness and golden sparkle to the lips. Perfect gloss to keep in my bag JIC my lips begin to feel parched!
I ordered Dumpling and LOVE IT! But you are so right, its definitely not sheer. I usually like my glosses on the sheer side. For some reason, Dumpling ia great on me though.
It’s not bad at all if you ignore pigmentation part of the equation – like for the type of shade, it goes on pretty well!
