ColourPop Making Mauve Lux Glosses Reviews & Swatches

ColourPop Check In Lux Gloss ($8.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a soft, peachy-pink with moderate, warm undertones and fine pearl throughout. It had semi-sheer to medium coverage with a smooth, lightweight texture that was creamy without being thick and substantial enough not to sink into my lip lines. The color applied evenly, while the shimmer dispersed well across my lips. It wore nicely for four hours and felt hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.16 oz. - $50.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "shine" with a "cushiony soft" texture that "hydrates lips." The brand isn't clear on how pigmented or how sheer the formula is intended to be; they instead they have the "perfect amount of colour all in one." Based on what I can infer from promotional images, their marketing, and typical lip gloss claims (in the industry), gloss is typically sheerer coverage rather than opaque, so based on that, I will be rating on the expectation of medium coverage.
The formula has a smooth consistency that was more like a gel-cream, as it felt denser ("cushiony") without being heavy or tacky. I didn't feel like they were the most forgiving, though, as most shades settled into my lip lines to a small degree. The coverage was sheer to semi-sheer, which resulted in the shades looking more similar on than they looked in the tubes (the initial line-up could have been much more diverse as a result). They lasted between two and three hours and were moisturizing to wear.
There was no discernible taste, and they had a sweet, sugary scent.

Figgy Wit It
ColourPop Figgy Wit It Lux Gloss ($8.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium mauve with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of barely-there sparkle in a cream finish. It had semi-sheer coverage that applied evenly across my lips, though there was slight product that sank into my deeper lip lines, but thankfully, it wasn’t too visible in person. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and creamy without being too thick, so it was comfortable to wear. It stayed on well for four hours and was moisturizing over time.

Am I nuts or are these two that similar to each other? I do prefer the slightly warmer tone of Figgy Wit It, but prefer the more shimmery effect of Check In. Hard to choose when they look so alike!
I thought so too, but I figured it’s because they’re sheerer that they look the same. I’m having a hard time deciding between the two as well!
Very pretty and natural colours. Perfect for those no makeup looks.
Yes, I agree with you Nancy – they look identical to me too. Very natural lip shades.
I do like the natural transparent look of both colors. They really are very close. If one is sold out, we can get the other. No worries!
