ColourPop Feminist Lippie Stix Review, Photos, Swatches
ColourPop Feminist Lippie Stix
ColourPop Feminist Lippie Stix ($5.00 for 0.0352 oz.) is described as a “black purple in a matte finish.” It’s a blackened purple with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pagan (P, $18.00) is cooler-toned. MAC Smoked Purple (LE, $16.00) is lighter. MAC Firm Form (LE, $16.00) is lighter, warmer. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
The formula is supposed to be comfortable to wear and moisturizing, and then the coverage of the matte finishes is supposed to be full and extra long-wearing. It is intensely pigmented, and it lasted for eight hours, at which point I went to bed, but it left a significant stain behind (that was more fuchsia in nature). I wouldn’t consider this really a matte, as there is a decent shine to it that lingers for two to three hours before wearing down to a more matte finish. It is lightweight with a light creaminess; enough that it doesn’t drag or tug at the lips, but it doesn’t slide around. I was able to apply it fairly easily straight from the tube, but to get a really crisp edge (and it’s worth the extra step for a color like this), I’d still recommend a lip brush or going back in with concealer to clean-up the edges. It’s neither drying nor hydrating over time, and there’s a little tackiness to the color after a few hours, but it doesn’t seem to lift or disturb the color. The color is rich enough that it had no trouble surviving coffee and dinner. The formula seems to have a very subtle vanilla scent to me, but it isn’t noticeable once applied.
Worth noting, you don’t get a lot of product in the twist-up tube relative to your average lipstick tube (which is typically 0.10 oz. or 0.12 oz.), but it is more in line with similarly-packaged lip products (e.g. Bite Beauty’s Lip Crayons are 0.05 oz., NARS Pure Mattes are 0.07 oz., Tarte Power Pigments are 0.04 oz., Buxom True Nude Lip Foundations are 0.03 oz. and seem to have nearly identical packaging).

I prefer my almost-blacks to lean red rather than purple, so I don’t think this color is for me, but I am very impressed.
I wonder if they have any like that!
Dalia and Creature are dark burgundies. Not quite this dark, though.
So gorgeous! Can’t wait for my tube to get here (looks like it should be today or tomorrow). I didn’t get the pencil because between Nightmoth and OCC’s Feathered, I think I should be fine. But yeah, it is the kind of color that benefits from a bit of concealer and/or liner. On a sadder note, my Viseart Bridal Satin arrived today but Sephora didn’t get it in the wrapping exactly, so it came with the gold shade broken all over it. The colors are so soft that adhering the broken bits back has been a bit of a struggle 🙁 It’s a BEAUTIFUL palette but I’d recommend those trying Viseart to maybe go for a pro/film/theater store over Sephora since they can be hit or miss with the wrapping.
I think between those two lip liners, you should be good for sure!
Sorry about your Viseart palette 🙁
OCC Tarred* of course. Ha. And I’m still bummed about the palette but mostly because it really is something special. It’s like super evenly-pigmented butter from makeup heaven. The quality really is uniquely great. And they appear to wear perfectly without primer so far 🙂
I’m so sorry that happened to you. The Viseart palettes are fantastic quality, but not inexpensive by any means. Sephora has phenomenal customer service. If you call them and explain the problem, they will take all steps necessary to get you a pristine palette.
…at least I would for that price point. There’s a few that I’m coveting but hoping to purchase at IMATS.
Good luck!!
Unfortunately because Viseart palettes are so handcrafted and made in such select quantities, they are unable to replace it. They refunded the cost, which is great, but I’d have to re-order for a pristine one because their stock is far too limited and unpredictable.
Beautiful color, beautiful name. Practical application. I may just have to get this, rather than technopagan.
Gasp!!!!! Between this and Technopagan? Oh, poor Technopagan, lol!
Poor Technopagan indeed. It’s jawdroppingly beautiful–and because I am a copywriter in Israel, I could wear it to work! But too impractical for me: I know myself. Maybe later. (I’m much more daring than I was 1 year ago.) I think the intermediate step might be those beautiful Revlon HD lip glosses you just reviewed. Those are amazing colors, and you display them beautifully.
Makes sense 🙂 It’s not as if I’m out there wearing Technopagan every day myself, lol!
Oh, I’ve definitely worn it to class several times now! I was really scared the first time I wore it, but it gets me nothing but compliments all around campus!
Ooh! I have been wanting a deep, vampy purple lipstick, but I’ve been hesitant to spend $15-$20 on something that I’d get little use out of. This looks like such an affordable and great option.
Definitely a good way to try without spending too much 🙂
I’ve been trying really hard to resist lip products, until I at least make a dent in my very large stash, but inthink this may even be backup-worthy, especially at that price.
It’s nice!
Yes maam! I just got mine in the mail the other day…I can’t wait to rock it!
Yayyy!!
Beautiful color .. a bit deep for me though .. but I do like it.
Monica.
I ordered this one based on your lip swatch – I’m glad it got a really good rating! Now I just hope my Colour Pop order gets here before I go on Christmas vacation! 😀
The name made me smile. 🙂 I’m impressed they managed to come out with a good product, since this colour can be quite tricky.
I didn’t get this shade but I ordered 5 other shades on Friday! Hopefully they perform as well. Glad to see something inexpensive got an A!
*adds it to the ten foot-long ColourPop shopping list*
Since I’m one of those people who hoards more lipstick that I could use in 3 lifetimes, I actually appreciate that ColourPop is offering the smaller quantity WITH A PRICE TO MATCH.
For $5 I want it. Even if I only wear it a few times it doesn’t matter!
Oohh I love this and I LOVE the name ☺️
This was the color I was most looking forward to in my order, but sadly it reads almost totally black on me, which is kind of a bummer. Still cool, but less wearable (for me, anyway)!
I LOVE this color so much! All of the Colour Pop purple lippie stix have been fantastic. It looks great on you Christine 🙂
This looks like a must have for this time of year. The color is stunning and the formula sounds quite impressive for the price too
I missed out on Mac instigator and wanted to get smoked purple instead. But this looks more similar to instigator . I’m curious to know how you think it compares
I am loving the look of these ColourPop items but they don’t ship to the UK (yet, they said they were working on it) I am very much considering using a mailing service for some of their items though!
Too dark for me but I have a few Lippie Stix on the way, I’ve heard good things!
Getting both Pagan and Feminist is totally justifiable… right…?
YES!
I just ordered this a couple of days ago, yay!
Definitely getting this the next time I order from them – this is right up my alley.
I ordered this and creature and it should arrive this week!!! Such a beautiful color. I bought Mac gunner and was hesitant to buy this but for the price you can’t go wrong. Love the pigmentation !!!
No my everyday color but it looks so fantastically rich! Stunning in a vampy way.
FYI Christine there’s a few pictures that won’t load for me (pics 3 to 5).
Fixed!
This one is DEFINITELY going on my to-buy list–both for the name, and because I don’t have a shade that leans black but is not as harsh as true matte black.
Such a lovely color! But what really caught my eye is your eyeliner! Is that Spark of Envy?
WOW!! This color just BLEW my mind, & for $5.00 I can NOT believe it’s this GOOD!!!
I’m so glad Colourpop is getting some love on your blog. I’m in love with these lippiestix and feminist is stunning on you. I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
WOW I am almost speechless, I love this look so much. I may just have to venture out of my rut long enough to try this one myself.
A $5 dark purple lipstick named “Feminist”? This thing is singing to me. Thanks for the review!
I just have to get this the next time I order. It is so ultra-vampy. I’ve been big into vampy lately.
Gorgeous! I’ve had my eye on so many of their products, such a shame they don’t ship to the UK 🙁
Let’s hope they do soon! I believe another reader mentioned they’re working on it.
That’s not fair. I’d be happy to help you obtain the products. You can use my shipping address, when they come in I can figure shipping costs to you and send them right off.
I recently did a very happy transaction with another of Christine’s readers if you need a character reference. ☺️
Happy holidays!
Wow, that’s GORGEOUS!!! Too bad it looks like they’re online only, or I’d run out and buy it. Guess I’ll have to see if it’s worth paying for shipping.
Wow. Perfect. This went to the top of every list I have.
Niiiiice!
SQUEE! ~(O_o)~ *flail*
That is all.
>_<
Will you be reviewing lighter colors? I’m interested in their opacity and hydration for sensitive lips, to find out if they’re more an option or a gimmick.
I have a few!
Oh my goodness! That color is AMAZING. I am in love.
I would buy this just for the name, love it!
The colour is also really stunning, I very rarely wear colours this dark but its very tempting just to have in my collection for special occasions, same reason I bought (and love) KVD Poe!
I recently purchased Cyber by MAC and just wore it out for the first time-it went on a tad patchy and, while it wasn’t particularly drying, this looks like it would be more comfortable to wear and seems to be much more opaque. Don’t think I’d return Cyber but I may need to scoop this up.
Thank you for your in depth review!
Would’ve loved to add this color to my collection because I don’t have anything like it but I absolutely HATE the name. It’s a shame they had to ruin such a pretty lipstick with that
MAC Cyber is a similar shade.
