ColourPop Sweetest Thing Just a Tint Lippie Tint Duo Review & Swatches
Sweetest Thing
ColourPop Sweetest Thing Lip Duo ($11.00 for 0.14 oz.) contains a light, warmer pink and a medium, pink-coral. The shades might look more or less the same depending on one natural lip color as they had semi-sheer to medium coverage (though they’re marketed as a sheer wash of color). The formula was comfortable to apply and to wear as it was like a tinted lip balm, so wear time was decent but a product that will suit someone who doesn’t mind reapplication throughout the day.

Always Right
Always Right is a light-medium pink with moderate, warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had semi-sheer to medium coverage with a smooth, balm-like texture, so the pencil melted slightly as I applied the product to my lips and had moderate slip. There was a smidgen of product that sank into my deeper lip lines, though I didn’t find it noticeable in person (just in the close-up photos). It wore well for three and a half hours and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.07 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce
The formula is described as "the perfection sheer wash of colour in the comfiest, lightweight, super moisturizing formula." Here's the big takeaway... they are not that sheer; they're not a wash of color. They have medium to semi-opaque, buildable coverage with a few shades being more true medium in coverage; I just wouldn't say they're sheer nor just a wash. That medium to semi-opaque level of coverage still allows for some translucency, which gives the color a lighter look that's more like a stain.
The texture was creamy, thin, lightweight, and balm-like; I'd actually say it felt like a gel-like balm because it had the cushion-like slip of a lip balm but had the smoothing prowess of more gel-based formulas. The most impressive aspect of the formula was how little the colors sank into my lip lines and how forgiving they were with imperfections in lip texture. The wear time varied from two and a half to four hours on me, and the formula was lightly hydrating over time. They have a sweet, fruity scent (passionfruit per their website) but no discernible taste.

Feel Good
Feel Good is a soft, medium coral with moderate, warm undertones and a glossy sheen. It had semi-sheer coverage that was buildable to medium coverage with a second layer. The texture was lightweight, emollient and balm-like without being overly slippery, so it was comfortable to wear and apply but didn’t slide around while worn. It stayed on well for four hours and was moisturizing over time.

These lippies look pretty in the tubes but I cannot really see a difference between them in the photo of once-applied????
Feel Good is my favorite of the two. Lucky for me, I already have MAC Nicki’s Nude and French Silk, though. $’s saved.
These look good kind of shades to wear on a daily basis for a spring/summer wash of colour on your lips.
