Dream Easy
ColourPop Dream Easy Lux Lipstick ($7.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a vibrant, medium-dark pink-coral with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips. The texture was lightly creamy without being too thick or too slippery. There was slight color that gathered in my deeper lip lines, though it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. It wore well for five hours and was lightly hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview
$10.00/0.12 oz. - $83.33 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.

Reverie
ColourPop Reverie Lux Lipstick ($7.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark coral-orange with warm, reddish undertones and a cream finish. The pigmentation was fantastic with full color coverage in a single stroke. It had a lightweight, creamy consistency that wasn’t too thick or too thin, so it glided on comfortably but didn’t slide around over the five hours it wore for. The formula felt lightly moisturizing when I wore it.

Those first two shades are bangin’ hot! Like seriously perfectly on point for late spring into summer. I sadly have dupes for Reverie. But nothing close to Dream Easy!
Also have a truckload of dupes for Afterglow….not sure that I love my dupes as much, though.
These new Lux Lipsticks are getting such great reviews and I really want to get one. But there are no shades I need. Not just from ColourPop, but from any brand!! I have come to the shocking realization that not only do I have no gaps in my lipstick collection, I have overkill!! At this point, I can’t possibly use all the lipstick I own. So until I see a shade that is truly unique for my collection (and that I would actually use…i.e., not green), I’ll just admire these beautiful shades in the reviews.
(Afterglow is my favorite of this group; I have three of the dupes.)
Omg that’s exactly the same case with me. I feel so guilty now that I end up thinking if i will even live long enough to wear all my lip products atleast once in my lifetime ☹️
I love Reverie! What a great shade for spring and summer.
DANG IT.
Should have ordered Reverie as well 😉
Looooove your look here.
These three are so beautiful!!!!!! They did well with the colors for his collection. I’m glad they performed well especially since I bought all three and unravelled!!! Really love the lux lipsticks!
*this collection.
Gorgeous super bright lipsticks. This Colour Pop range is sensational.
These are lovely, and the price is amazing! Afterglow is on the way to my address. ?
If only I could wear those colors! Wow, Dream Easy is so pretty!
Anyone else notice that the embossed stars are different on the Reverie lipstick than the rest of the lux lipsticks? They’re pointed rather than rounded. Weird.
You are so right!
I checked mine from the first release and they all have pointed stars, FWIW.
Good spotting!
Your entire look is just flawless, these lipsticks look fantastic on you, hope they look as good on me. I ordered the entire set the other day thinking any colors that don’t work for me will work for my granddaughter or niece.
