Dust2Dust

ColourPop Dust2Dust Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a soft, peachy-orange base with fine pink and peach pearl. It had sheer coverage where the warmer base color tinted my lips a warmer pink with a dusting of fine pink and peach pearl. The consistency was lightweight, smooth, and spreadable with a non-sticky, cushion-like feel that was comfortable and moisturizing on my lips. The lipgloss applied fairly well on my lips but wasn’t as smoothing of my lip lines as other shades in the formula have been for me, and it lasted for two and a half hours on me.

Formula Overview

$10.00/0.11 oz. - $90.91 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "hi-shine" with a "non-sticky" texture that "feels amazing" and includes five finishes "from 3-D pearl to sheer tinted colour." They are designed to be a sheerer formula, so many shades are sheer with a smattering of shimmer or sparkle and then a few are more tinted with sheer to semi-sheer coverage but no shimmer. Each gloss has a short, brush-type applicator, which worked better than I expected and didn't leave streaky results behind (in general). They had a sweet, vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

The "Tinted" finish ("glass-like shine with tint of sheer colour and no shimmer") was the least consistent--sometimes prone to unevenness and getting into lip lines, particularly with deeper/richer shades, whereas Pearlescent ("glass-like shine with subtle shimmer") and Prismatic ("glass-like shine with floating multi dimensional pearl and glitters") are sheer to translucent with the major difference being finer shimmer in the Pearlescent finish and larger, more glitter-like particles in the Prismatic finish. Both finishes tended to look plush and more smoothing on my lips. The Creme finish is a "medium-coverage gloss with a creamy finish that does not contain any pearls or glitter." The Metallic is described as a "full-coverage gloss with a mix of pearl and metallic finishes."

The wear time varied by shade but the sheerer ones tended to wear between two and three hours as the formula was, indeed, non-sticky and smooth, which made them lighter-weight and comfortable to wear but shorter wearing. A lot of the sheerer shades ran together, so I would recommend just picking up one or two rather than several as the differences are likely to be lost! Also, keep in mind that sheerer lip colors can look different from person to person due to much of the natural lip color coming through.

Hypno-tease

ColourPop Hypno-tease Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium gold with strong, yellow undertones and a sparkling finish. It had semi-sheer coverage with a soft, yellow-ish tint to its base that made my lips appear a bit “coral” in color (but your mileage will vary based on your own natural lip color). The shimmer and sparkle dispersed fairly evenly across my lips, but this particular shade looked less “even” on my lips than other shades in the range, though I found it hard to discern exactly why that was so. The gloss had a smooth, cushion-like texture–creamy and a bit thicker but not heavy or sticky. It lasted well for three hours and was hydrating over time.
