Candy Floss

ColourPop Candy Floss Blotted Lips ($5.00 for 0.035 oz.) is a medium, peachy brown with warm, orange undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had medium to nearly opaque pigmentation–it was definitely one of the more pigmented shades in the line-up. The lipstick applied evenly and smoothly with a slightly creamier texture compared to other shades, which might have been responsible for the less matte finish as well. There was a smidgen of color that pulled into my deeper lip lines. It wore well for four hours and was non-drying.

The Blotted Lip formula is described as a “sheer matte lipstick” that has “buildable” coverage that ranges from “light to medium” and has a “lightweight” feel. The formula had an interesting texture–firmer, waxy but velvety like a more silicone-heavy formula would feel–so it glided on with ease after it warmed up against the lips but initially felt quite firm in the tube. They look more like a lip stain than lipstick on the lips, as the consistency is thin and adheres well to lips–without emphasizing the texture of them–and the semi-sheer to medium coverage reinforces the stain-like appearance. The wear was average (usually around four hours) but was non-drying.

It had semi-sheer to medium pigmentation that applied evenly and sat well on the lips. The consistency was smooth, almost velvety as it glided on the lips but still felt weightless and thin as it sat on the lips. It stayed on well for four hours and was non-drying.

Brain Freeze

ColourPop Brain Freeze Blotted Lips ($5.00 for 0.035 oz.) is a medium pink with subtle, blue undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer to medium pigmentation that applied fairly evenly, though the edges could have been better and I did have faint color slip into my lip lines. The texture was lightweight, thin but not clingy, and did not tug on the lips after the first second of applying (then it felt quite velvety). It wore well for three and a half hours on me and was non-drying.
