ColourPop On Display Lux Lipstick ($7.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep red with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly on the lips. It had a smooth, creamy consistency that glided across my lips fluidly and was comfortable to wear (though not hydrating) over five and a half hours.

Formula Overview

$10.00/0.12 oz. - $83.33 Per Ounce

The formula that is supposed to be a "creamy-matte" that "glides on like butter, doesn't feather or bleed, and lasts so long you'll forget you're even wearing it." The majority of the shades were quite pigmented with full color payoff in a single stroke with a few in the more semi-opaque coverage range.

The texture was, on average, smooth, lightly creamy, and not too thick or too thin, so there was no tugging during application but the color didn't feel slippery while worn, which made them easier to apply straight from the tube and low-maintenance on the lips.

They tend to dry and wear down to a soft matte finish within one to three hours of wear, and while they are very lightweight on, they hug the lips more as they become more matte (compared to initial feel). The wear time has been between four and six hours for most shades, and most shades were non-drying to lightly hydrating. They were vanilla-scented but had no discernible taste.

Liquid Courage

ColourPop Liquid Courage Lux Lipstick ($7.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark, rusty red with warm undertones and a cream finish. The color payoff was fantastic–opaque in a single stroke–that drenched lips in even, smooth color. The lipstick was smooth, creamy without being too slippery or thick, and glided on easily. It stayed on nicely for five and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.

Hello Stranger

ColourPop Hello Stranger Lux Lipstick ($7.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep burgundy with cool undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips despite not being full coverage (and it did not build up either). The consistency was lightweight, creamy without being thick or heavy, and it was comfortable to wear. On me, it wore well for six hours, left a stain behind, and was lightly hydrating.
