ColourPop Clap If You Believe & Tinkerbell Glossy Lip Stains Reviews & Swatches
Clap If You Believe
ColourPop Clap If You Believe Glossy Lip Stain ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a darker coral with moderate, warm undertones and a lightly sparkly, cream finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation paired with a smooth, gel-like cream consistency that spread easily over my lips.
There was a bit of product that settled into my deeper lip lines, though it was barely noticeable in person. It wore well for four and a half hours, left a subtle stain behind, and was lightly moisturizing.

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.21 oz. - $38.10 Per Ounce
It's supposed to have the "long-lasting powers of a lip stain" with the "shine of a gloss" paired with "medium to buildable coverage" that is "non-drying." The initial texture was almost watery, overly spreadable (and the applicator often picked up more product than necessary, so take care during application) but dried down to a more satiny shine that was less glossy and more like a satin lipstick with some translucency.
The initial shine wore off within two hours, so it looked like a true satin finish--this was true of doing nothing or just taking a drink of a glass as it wasn't transfer-resistant. The stain did not power through a meal and tended to leave a very strong ring around the edges of my lips as it wore away so quickly while eating. Left to its own devices, most shades wore around six hours with a faint stain left behind.
It had medium, buildable coverage but quickly built to more semi-opaque coverage without an official second layer (just going back and forth to get an even layer of product). A couple of shades were truer to medium and others were more semi-opaque from the first layer.
There didn't seem to be any added fragrance nor taste while worn.

Tinkerbell
ColourPop Tinkerbell Glossy Lip Stain ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a darker pink with moderate, warm undertones and faint sparkle strewn through a more cream-like finish. It had opaque color coverage, which applied smoothly and evenly across my lips but had a tendency to settle into my lip lines a bit.
The texture was lightweight, like a gel-like cream with some substance but good glide. It stayed on well for five hours and left behind a light, reddish-brown stain and felt lightly hydrating over time.

While I like Clap If You Believe, I absolutely LOVE Tinkerbell! Such a beautiful shade and finish!
I got a different glossy lip stain a few days ago (took the order forever to get here!) and love the formula so decided to pick up Tinkerbell. My other one is a bright pinky red and I think Tinkerbell will work better for every day. I’m not sure what I think about the sparkles in it, but I like the shade and am excited for it.
Aaah, your eyeshadow shines again!
Was a little bolder than I’ve been trying to do for full face swatches, but alas, lol!
Both are very pretty shades and look easy to wear.
Very easy to wear!
Tinkerbell is so pretty!
