ColourPop Colour Me Obsessed Creme Gel Liner Roll Review & Swatches
Colour Me Obsessed
ColourPop Colour Me Obsessed Crème Gel Liner Roll ($40.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a limited edition set that includes 10 full-sized, twist-up pencil eyeliners in an assortment of shades from white to burgundy. The majority of the shades are available individually, but there were few shades that were new-to-me within the set, I figured I’d review the whole set even though the set itself is currently out of stock.
ColourPop’s eyeliners are decent, but the darker shades tend to have greater coverage, better and more even application, and slightly longer wear than their light and mid-depth shades with the more pastel hues being the chalkier ones.

Exit
Exit is a soft white with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which applied well to my lower lash line with minimal skipping. The consistency was moderately dense with just enough glide not to tug during application, but it could have been smoother overall. It lasted nicely for seven and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.007 oz. - $1000.00 Per Ounce
The updated formula is supposed to have "18-hour" wear that is waterproof and be "super pigmented" for both the lash line as well as the waterline. The brand stated that the formula will set "after around 10 seconds." Many shades had semi-opaque to opaque, buildable coverage, but some shades had uneven, sheerer coverage that did not layer well, so they were more challenging to apply and to use.
The majority of shades were creamy enough to glide across the lash line without tugging or pulling, though a few shades were stiffer, more prone to breaking or dragging.
The formula seemed water-resistant based on testing with water, but the wear was more like 10 to 13 hours (depending on the shade) rather than 18 hours of solid wear. A lot of the shimmer shades lasted four to six hours on the waterline, while more matte shades tended to last five to seven hours on my waterline. These are long-wearing times for a pencil eyeliner, generally, but they are a fair bit short of the 18-hours claimed so a lot of shades rated lower than they might seem if you aren't a stickler for 18-hour wear!

Peach Fuzz
Peach Fuzz is a light, coral-orange with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage that built up to full coverage with a second layer. The texture was lightly creamy and glided on comfortably, though I felt like it thickened unevenly just a tad. It wore well for seven and a half hours before fading visibly.

Ice Breaker
Ice Breaker is a mint green with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff that was somewhat buildable, but the issue was the texture; it was chalkier and drier, which resulted in the product pushing onto itself rather than building up evenly. It showed signs of fading after seven and a half hours on me.

Piggy Bank
Piggy Bank is a medium purple with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff that adhered well to lower lash line with an even application that did not tug. The texture had enough glide to be comfortable to use but didn’t smudge or diffuse well, so it stayed in place better. It lasted nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.007 oz. - $1000.00 Per Ounce
The updated formula is supposed to have "18-hour" wear that is waterproof and be "super pigmented" for both the lash line as well as the waterline. The brand stated that the formula will set "after around 10 seconds." Many shades had semi-opaque to opaque, buildable coverage, but some shades had uneven, sheerer coverage that did not layer well, so they were more challenging to apply and to use.
The majority of shades were creamy enough to glide across the lash line without tugging or pulling, though a few shades were stiffer, more prone to breaking or dragging.
The formula seemed water-resistant based on testing with water, but the wear was more like 10 to 13 hours (depending on the shade) rather than 18 hours of solid wear. A lot of the shimmer shades lasted four to six hours on the waterline, while more matte shades tended to last five to seven hours on my waterline. These are long-wearing times for a pencil eyeliner, generally, but they are a fair bit short of the 18-hours claimed so a lot of shades rated lower than they might seem if you aren't a stickler for 18-hour wear!

Joy Ride
Joy Ride is a medium-dark burgundy with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque coverage, which built up readily to full coverage with less than a second layer. The texture was slightly denser but still had enough creaminess to glide across my skin without tugging. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Charmer
Charmer is a deep burgundy with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied more evenly than I suspected it would as the initial consistency felt a little dense. The product lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Quite a range of results here, but mostly good. I think these would be quite good with other shades in your stash, although each pencil seemed to have its own characteristics regarding ease of use.
Very pretty shades.
Getting a set might be the way to go, as individual shades are often OOS. I stalk for days, then give up. Some CP liners will always evade me, no matter how Pokémon I try. The RBK liners? What am I, three Collections behind? Five? I do love liners to put a bit of color into a basically neutral look. Used the basic green Linda Hallberg one today for a touch of Christmas.
Not bad. But while I absolutely love certain shades in this set, I’m not crazy for all of them. Extra Frosting would be a nice lower waterline shade for me, as would Cry Baby. Catsuit is gorgeous! So is Charmer and Piggy Bank.
Ohhh I love coloured automatic eyepencils! They were my first makeup product I ever used. I think that are more or less 15years that I’m using them everyday on the outer lower lash line (and sometimes into the inner tearduct too). I want them all… But of course colourpop it is out my reach ehehe
Joyride and Charmer are eye pencils I didn’t know I needed!
