Little League
ColourPop Little League Matte Lux Lipstick ($7.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. The color coverage was opaque in a single layer, while the lipstick had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that felt lightweight but appeared a little thicker on the lips. There was a smidgen of color that gathered in my lip lines, though it wasn’t noticeable from afar. It wore well for four and a half hours, and it wasn’t drying on me while worn.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.12 oz. - $58.33 Per Ounce
The Matte Lux formula is supposed to have a "velvet matte" finish that's "long-wearing" with "intense pigmentation and a soft blurring finish." Most of the shades are quite pigmented with four to six hour wear and a non-drying feel. The texture varied a bit as some shades were smooth, velvety, and thin without emphasizing my lip lines or pulling into them but several separated along my lip lines noticeably or color settled into my lip lines over time. I didn't get much scent from them--possibly subtle sweetness--and no discernible taste.

Paparazzi
ColourPop Paparazzi Matte Lux Lipstick ($7.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium pink-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The lipstick had a velvety texture that seemed thinner, but it didn’t feel clingy. It had excellent pigmentation that covered my lips with even color in a single layer. There was a touch of product that pulled into my deeper lip lines, but I wasn’t able to detect that from a normal viewing distance (just in the close-up photo). It lasted for four hours and was non-drying.

Money Moves
ColourPop Money Moves Matte Lux Lipstick ($7.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, peachy-brown with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had rich color payoff that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips in a fluid stroke. The texture was lightweight, velvety, and while it didn’t smooth out my lip lines, the color didn’t noticeably emphasize or settle into them either. It stayed on well for four and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating while worn.

Ooh! Paparazzi is a beauty! I love shades like this during summertime. Reminds me of flower gardens and going down the shore back in NJ…. I have no idea why! ?
Beautiful summery shades – excellent ratings at a really affordable price. Fantastic.
I’ve been eye all 3 of these shades and I think I could pull them off. Again not sure when I’ll finally place another colour pop order as I just gave away all of the discontinued shades I have for the most part.
hi christine, i just want to tell you that this eye look looks very good on you! the colour combi makes your eyes look bright and luminous. very very nice! ?
Aww, thank you, Zeezee!!
Really like Money Moves, but I own Walkyrie and Honeymoon which seem to be good dupes for it.
Crossing my fingers that one day Colourpop will have a BOGO sale on their Lux Lipsticks so I can snatch up all of these!
Interesting – like I’ve noted on a previous post, I got Paparazzi and it separated really weirdly on me! But I do generally have dry lips / lots of lip lines. So maybe the minimal pulling into lip lines that you observed was just more exaggerated by my lips texture. Hope it’s that and not inconsistencies even within each shade of this formula! (Which always makes picking out which shades to buy more frustrating haha)
