ColourPop Cruella & Dr. Facilier Lux Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Cruella
ColourPop Cruella Lux Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright pop of orange-red with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque in a single layer, while the texture felt dense, velvety, and applied fluidly in one stroke across my lips. The texture was lightweight without being clingy, and it wore down to a true, flat matte finish within a half hour (or blot once). There was a bit of emphasize of my natural lip texture but wasn’t noticeable at a normal viewing distance due to the overall vibrancy of the shade (distracting in a good way!). The color lasted well for six hours, left a stain behind, and was non-drying.

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.12 oz. - $66.67 Per Ounce
The formula that is supposed to be a "creamy-matte" that "glides on like butter, doesn't feather or bleed, and lasts so long you'll forget you're even wearing it." The majority of the shades were quite pigmented with full color payoff in a single stroke with a few in the more semi-opaque coverage range.
The texture was, on average, smooth, lightly creamy, and not too thick or too thin, so there was no tugging during application but the color didn't feel slippery while worn, which made them easier to apply straight from the tube and low-maintenance on the lips.
They tend to dry and wear down to a soft matte finish within one to three hours of wear, and while they are very lightweight on, they hug the lips more as they become more matte (compared to initial feel). The wear time has been between four and six hours for most shades, and most shades were non-drying to lightly hydrating. They were vanilla-scented but had no discernible taste.

Dr. Facilier
ColourPop Dr. Facilier Lux Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, reddened-plum with strong, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had rich color payoff that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without dragging. The consistency was lightweight, creamy without being too slippery, and comfortable to apply and to wear. The only knock against the product was that there was a touch of product in my deeper lip lines, though it was just barely visible to my eye in person. This shade stayed on well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating while worn.

Dr. Facilier is a pretty shade, but not one that I really need…but I still want it because I love the character and the product design is so cute, but that’s not a good enough reason to buy a lipstick!
Why must I always have so many dupes whenever there’s a shade that “oohing” and “ahhing” over? Smdh. But also letting out a little chuckle at myself at the same time. Oh well.
I really love both of these so much. They are definitely my type of colors (obviously!). However, I get the feeling that I might neglect Lady Danger, C’mon Sis, Retro and whatever if I went ahead and bought either one.
I want Dr. Facilier. It’s a really pretty shade and looks like it would be a really nice pinky nude. But so far that’s the only thing I want, and idk if it’s worth the shipping.
Both are appealing, and shock to me, no dupes. Too bad the facilier gloss isn’t great. This collection is turning out to be very cherry pick for me. Not getting can be a good thing, though. Appreciate your ongoing hard work.
Dr. Facilier (where does Colour Pop get these names from?) is a versatile, everyday shade that is quite lovely.
He is the villain from Princess & the Frog!
I really wish I could pull off warm lip colors. Both look very nice (on you) and I love the color and the semi-matte finish of Cruella, but I’ve never successfully pulled off a warm lipstick. Admittedly, I’ve never tried an orange based one because orange has just historically been a bad color for me. If I hadn’t already put in an order (all of the highlighters except the darkest one and the very gold one, along with Maleficent), I would consider taking a gamble since it’s cheaper than all but one of the dupes, but I’m not inclined to put in a second one just for Cruella.
I just never thought I’d live to see the day that Keith David got his own lipstick. Heady times!
