Here's 2 U
ColourPop Here’s 2 U Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) has a subtly, pink-tinted translucent base with pink and gold sparkle. It was a warmer tint to the base, but it didn’t have much of an impact even on my natural lip color. The texture was lightweight, smooth and lightly creamy without being heavy or tacky, which helped it spread well and feel quite comfortable on the lips. It had a light sprinkling of sparkle, which made it one of those glosses that might be right one one’s alley, but there are few, noticeable differences between some of the Prismatic shade iterations within the range. It lasted for two hours on me but was very hydrating.

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.

On Board
ColourPop On Board Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) has a subtle, peachy-brown-tinted base with multi-colored flecks of sparkle. It had semi-sheer “coverage” in the form of sparkle/shimmer, while the tinted base darkened my natural lip color slightly while adding a touch of warmth but the effect will differ from person to person based on whatever their natural lip color is. The texture was smooth and comfortable without being heavy or tacky, and the gloss applied evenly with good shimmer dispersion and didn’t settle into my lip lines. It stayed on well for three hours and was moisturizing over time.

Phew
ColourPop Phew Ultra Glossy Lip ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) has a gold-tinted translucent base paired with multi-colored flecks of sparkle (I saw a more rainbow-like effect overall). It had sheer coverage, as expected based on the finish (Prismatic), but I felt like this had enough sparkle to be noticeable when worn alone without reading 100% glitter but not being too subtle, which some of the other Prismatic finish shades have been (all a matter of preference, though). The texture was lightweight, smooth, and almost creamy as it spread so well across my lips and seemed to plump up my lip lines rather than settle into them. It wore well for two and a half hours on me and was hydrating.

I don’t mean to sound “cheesy” (or maybe I do) , but I can really get on board with On Board! It reminds me of a glittery, more sheer version of my well loved Fenty Lip Bomb Gloss.
Phew! is another very pretty shade, but I’m up to my gills in gold toned lip glosses , I believe.
