ColourPop Of Quartz Lippie Stix Reviews & Swatches
Chakra Waves
ColourPop Chakra Waves Lippie Stix ($7.00 for 0.0352 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark pink with warmer undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color payoff with a smooth, velvety consistency that was slightly thicker but not heavy to wear. It was prone to separating along my deeper lip lines, so I would recommend using a lip pencil underneath. This shade lasted well for four and a half hours and felt non-drying.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.0352 oz. - $198.86 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "full coverage" with a "long-wearing, ultra comfortable" feel. Because there are quite a few finishes in the range, some of the results depend more on the finish.
The matte finish tends to be thinner, drier, and firmer in the tube, and they can, occasionally, tug on my lips noticeably during application, but usually have good pigmentation and long wear; they range from non-drying to somewhat drying.
The Creme finish has a creamier, more emollient quality to it that has excellent pigmentation, comfortable wear, and good wear time (four to six hours); it tends to be a little hydrating but occasionally suffers from issues where product gathers in lip lines or they don't go on as evenly as they could. There's a soft, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Best Intentions
ColourPop Best Intentions Lippie Stix ($7.00 for 0.0352 oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish-plum wiht moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was lightweight, creamy, and more velvety in its glide, so it didn’t feel slippery or “wet” as it wet on but it never tugged during application. The lipstick had rich pigmentation in a single layer, which settled slightly into my deeper lip lines but wasn’t noticeable at a normal viewing distance. It wore nicely for five hours and felt non-drying.

Energy Field
ColourPop Energy Field Lippie Stix ($7.00 for 0.0352 oz.) is a rich, deepened red with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, velvety and more silicone-like, which gave it great glide without feeling too emollient or slippery on my lips, but it seemed more prone to pilling a bit compared to other shades in the formula. It had mostly opaque color coverage that stayed on well for over six hours, left a stain behind, and felt non-drying.

These are all really pretty shades but they look dry on the lips. I felt my own lips puckering just looking at them. I don’t mind a matte lippie but when they look like the Sahara desert, I have to pass. I know they didn’t feel dry on the lips while you were testing them but they do look dry.
Best Intentions looks like a great simple everyday lipstick. Might even work under my mask, because it doesn’t look like something that would slide around and smear all over my face.
Gorgeous shades, particularly Energy Field, but the matte finish is not quite for me. It’s good to know that the formula is non drying though.
