ColourPop Melty & Missin' U Blotted Lip Reviews & Swatches
Melty
ColourPop Melty Blotted Lip (2021) ($8.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium-dark, plummy brown with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had sheer pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable to semi-sheer coverage. The texture was lightweight, thin, and non-clingy, despite having no traditional creaminess; thankfully, it had more of a velvety glide, so it was still comfortable to apply. It lasted for three hours and felt non-drying over time.

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.06 oz. - $133.33 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to deliver "sheer payout" but "can build up to medium coverage." It features a "blurred-focus matte finish" that is "non-drying." They are a sheer, matte tinted lip balm that feels almost weightless, not clingy and has a matte finish from the get-go. I didn't find they were buildable, and they were non-drying, but they lasted between two and three hours on my lips. They are fairly transfer-resistant, as I didn't notice any lip prints on my glass during drinking.
They have sheer to semi-sheer coverage with only a couple of the deeper/richer hues (like red/berry kind of colors) delivering more buildable coverage. A lot of the shades ran together over my natural lip color, which is lighter and more neutral (not particularly pink), so anyone with more noticeable pigment in their lips may see even less of difference between the lighter and more mid-tone shades.
The consistency was smooth, almost silky, despite being a slightly firmer and denser formula (no typical creaminess), and they glided across my lips comfortably. I was most impressed by how they did not seem to catch on texture/imperfections, even with the lighter shades.
They have a sweet, fruity scent (read cherry punch to my nose) but no discernible taste. I don't notice the scent much after five minutes of it being on, but it was strong in the tube.

I really do like Melty for a darker ‘nude’ lip when I know that I will have to use a mask. Because even if it did smudge, it wouldn’t be glaringly obvious.
Nope, I just don’t really like these sheer kinds of lippies, although the shade colours are nice.
