Fresh Cut
ColourPop Fresh Cut Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick ($6.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is a medium-dark pink with neutral undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented and spread evenly across the lips. I had no trouble getting crisper lines with little effort, but as it dried down, the final finish emphasized the natural texture of my lips and appeared slightly “cracked” when I smiled. I expected it to be rather drying, but after seven hours of wear, it looked mostly intact and wasn’t drying at all!

Formula Overview
$6.50/0.11 oz. - $59.09 Per Ounce
It is a long-wearing, pigmented lipstick that starts off glossy and dries down quickly to that super flat matte finish. They have minimal transfer with some of the lighter shades having almost none for the first few hours of wear, but any time you’ve had a meal, they lose that transfer-resistant quality to a noticeable degree. They tend to wear anywhere from six to ten hours with darker shades maintaining better color coverage and wear over a longer period of time.
Some shades get a little drying about two-thirds to three-fourths through the wear, while a few shades have been fairly non-drying even many hours into wear. They fade away evenly with most color loss occurring from the center of the lips if eating a more oil-based meal but the majority of color survives a meal.
Reapplication has been hit or miss and tends to depend on how well it wore away and how easily the shade applies normally, but reapplication tends to emphasize the lip’s natural texture significantly compared to initial application and gives lips a very wrinkled, dried-up look. I’ve layered gloss on top of some shades with moderate success, though it will obviously lose the matte finish and will transfer and I’ll get tiny flakes where the matte lip color has lifted by mixing with gloss but has been pretty minimal. The formula had no discernible taste or scent.

Love Muffin
ColourPop Love Muffin Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick ($6.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is a medium pink with warm, yellow undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that did not apply as evenly as the majority of shades have in this formula. I also felt like the texture itself was chalky as it settled on the lips, even though the initial consistency was thin, liquid, and spreadable. The color started to pull apart and emphasize my lip lines after an hour and a half of wear. It lasted for closer to five hours overall, and it was slightly drying.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.11 oz. - $63.64 Per Ounce
It is supposed to be a “lightweight, bold lipstick with a satin finish”liquid lipstick that is “extra intense colour saturation” and “long-wearing,” but the brand is quick to note that it is “not completely kiss proof.” The consistency is very light to lightweight with a thin to mousse-like consistency–they feel a little heavier going on than the Ultra Matte formula, but they don’t feel heavy on. They dry down somewhat, but it isn’t a full, flat dry down like matte liquid lipsticks, and when you press your lips together, there is moderate tackiness there, but I didn’t notice any lifting or separating of color by doing so.
They have been extremely long-wearing and comfortable to wear for the most part–it’s after ten hours or so that I notice my lips feeling a little dry–but six hours into wear and the colors have looked good post-meals/post-drinking. I think if you like the idea of longer-wearing, mostly matte lip color but find most liquid lipsticks too drying or too flat while not needing an ultra-hydrating formula, you might like these.

Chandelier
ColourPop Chandelier Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick ($6.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is a medium pink-coral with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had good color coverage, though it wasn’t quite opaque in a single layer, that went on evenly. I had a small amount of product that settled into my lip lines, which was more noticeable when I smiled (almost like when a matte, liquid lipstick “cracks”). The texture was thin but not watery, a little runny in a way, but it spread well and wasn’t hard to control in practice. This shade stayed on well for six and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

I’m loving your overall look here, Christine!! You look so bright and happy!
Thanks, Shannon!
Oops, the comment I was typing disappeared into cyberspace!
Anyway. I am feeling a deep sense of relief having ordered Chandelier yesterday based solely on how your lp swatch of it appeared. It definitely looked like it was going to review very well, and it did! So I am really happy to have it, Drop Of A Hat and one of the metallic lip glosses heading here, plus my previous order, too.
We are still trying to solve that – it’s not really on our end, we haven’t changed anything with comments, so it has to do with ads loading on the site last – which is supposed to be better for the user so you can have the content load first.
I’m surprised they didn’t name one of these Flamingo!
That is a surprise, haha!
I love Chandelier. It’s a perfect pinky coral shade for spring!
It is pretty!
Hello fresh cut!
🙂
I came to for the lipsticks but the whole time I was distracted by your eyes lol. Beautiful look, Christine! It’s perfect for spring!
Thanks, Fancie!
Chandelier is so perfect with your eye look, it all shouts out Spring!
Thank you, Betty! 🙂
Wish Fresh Cut was satin lippie vs. matte, matte is too drying for me.
Christine the look is fabulous!
Aw, thanks Brenda!
LOL, I have Fresh Cut on today.
I had Chandelier in my cart but removed it at the last minute because I was afraid it would be one of those flat finish bright coral pink shades that tends to pull very “neon peach” on me and it is not a look I can pull off! Looking at your swatches, I think it was safe for me to do so 😉
Phew! 😉 Nice intuition there!
I love this ‘flamingo’ look. It looks so refreshing. Chandelier looks way better with the overall look. I know you’re totally dedicated to your blog. I would love it if you randomly posted on your YT some of these looks.
