ColourPop Fanatic & Sealed with a Kiss Glossy Lip Stains Reviews & Swatches
Fanatic
ColourPop Fanatic Glossy Lip Stain ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a bright, almost neon, pinky-red with cooler undertones and a glossy, jelly-like finish. It had medium color coverage in a single layer, which could be intensified with a second layer, though be sure to wait for the first layer to “set.”
It had a thin, watery consistency initially, which took about 30 seconds to thicken and become a touch tackier, and this was when it was “set.” It stayed on well for six hours, left a strong stain behind, and felt lightly hydrating over time.

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.

Sealed with a Kiss
ColourPop Sealed with a Kiss Glossy Lip Stain ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a brighter, dark coral with warmer, more orange undertones and a glossy finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied fairly evenly, though don’t judge it until it has time to set!
The texture was more watery and thin, so I had to be careful as I spread it out not to go too far past my natural lip line. It took about 30 to 45 seconds to develop a little tackiness and thickness, so it held on better and no longer felt watery. This shade lasted nicely for six hours, left a stain behind, and felt lightly moisturizing over time.
