ColourPop Hazy Baby Lux Liquid Lipstick Duo Review & Swatches
Hazy Baby
ColourPop Hazy Baby Lux Liquid Lip Duo ($14.00 for 0.34 oz.) is a new, limited edition duo featuring shades of pink-coral and a copper-red. Both shades were non-drying and lasted for four and a half hours, while pigmentation ranged from medium to semi-opaque but both could be built up. They were consistent in past performance with the Lux Liquid formula.

Buttercup
Buttercup is a medium-dark, pink-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had medium, buildable coverage with a soft, mousse-like texture that was thin without being too watery. The product covered my lips fairly evenly, and there was a bit of product that sank into my deeper lip lines, I didn’t feel like it was enough that it was noticeable in person (just the close-up photos). It wore well for four and a half hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$9.00/0.17 oz. - $52.94 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "medium buildable coverage" that has a "soft, diffused" effect. It's a more amped up take on their Blotted Lips concept or a slightly "washed out" take on their Ultra Matte/Ultra Satin range. The formula is much thinner--almost weightless--and spreads evenly with a single layer. I'd argue that most shades were often closer to semi-opaque rather than medium and buildable--and I used only what was on the doe-foot applicator to apply (without going back for more) for both top and bottom lips.
The consistency was airier, light, thin, and spreadable with a soft dry down that didn't feel like it was wholly locked in (like Ultra Mattes) but had significantly less transfer than a traditional lipstick (or even the Ulta Satins). They were not the most forgiving of lip texture or lip lines, but they were more flattering than most formulas I've tried that are similar in effect and coverage. Some shades had more of a matte finish shortly after application while others had subtle shine that wore down to a matte finish within an hour or less.
Longevity ran anywhere from three to six hours with some shades leaving subtle stains behind, and the formula felt mostly non-drying for me. It had a sweet, vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Lucky Cat
Lucky Cat is a medium-dark, red-copper with light, warm undertones and a satin sheen. It was more emollient than Buttercup, so there was still a bit of a sheen before it wore away to more of a satin to semi-matte finish. The texture was lightweight, thin, and spreadable with an airy quality to it–so more mousse-like but not as whipped–that delivered even coverage in a single layer. It had more semi-opaque coverage in one pass rather than the medium coverage promised, so I’d recommend using less for a more washed out effect. It stayed on well four four and a half hours and felt non-drying while worn.

I’d love to get Lucky Cat all by itself! That is very much my type of shade, but not one that I have any close dupes for. Yes to LC!
Or is it just, Because Cats? Bad m/u pun.
LOL! Both reasons, TBH! ?
I like Lucky Cat – a stunning shade.
I really don’t like the ColourPop liquid lip formula so won’t be picking this up. I do love Lucky Cat but I have CT Walk of Shame and while it isn’t a close match, it is close enough for me.
I bought the Air Kiss one (though I said I’d never do cp again) and I really like this formula. It can be pigmented and satin or be pat down to a matte and blotted finish. I think it’s better than colorpop’s other liquid lip formulas.
