ColourPop The Rabbit Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick ($6.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is described as a “bright fuchsia with a subtle blue sheen.” It’s a bright, medium-dark fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and fine iridescent violet shimmer over a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff with a smooth, lightweight texture that applied with even coverage with little trouble. On me, the color was still 90% intact after eight hours of wear while still remaining fairly comfortable. I would consider it a non-drying formula.

ColourPop Panda Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick ($6.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is described as a “deep pink violet.” It’s a bold, medium-dark purple-berry with cool undertones and a satin sheen. This one had a little more sheen than other shades, though after three to four hours of wear, it looked the same as the rest do by then. It had very nearly opaque coverage with a creamy, easily-applied formula that was even, smooth, and didn’t settle into lip lines. The color was still very much intact after seven hours of wear. The formula was comfortable to wear and neither drying nor hydrating. Tom Ford Beauty Theo (DC, $36.00) is more shimmery, lighter, glossier (90% similar). Estee Lauder Passion (P, $32.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar). ColourPop Plastics (LE, $7.00) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). MAC Oh Lady (P, $21.00) is warmer, less glossy (85% similar). Laura Mercier Violette (P, $32.00) is less shimmery, warmer (90% similar). Pat McGrath Antidote (LE, $38.00) is cooler (85% similar). Dior Candy Cane (322) (LE, $38.00) is more muted, warmer (90% similar). Makeup Geek Urbanista (P, $12.00) is lighter, more muted (85% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Vinyl Dream (P, $30.00) is lighter, cooler, less glossy (85% similar). Makeup Geek Vain (P, $15.00) is darker, more muted, cooler (85% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Scandal (226) (P, $30.00) is more shimmery, darker (85% similar). Bite Beauty Aquarius (LE, $26.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Bite Beauty Eggplant (DC, $26.00) is lighter (80% similar). Bite Beauty Barberry (LE, $24.00) is lighter (80% similar). NARS Dirty Mind (P, $27.00) is darker, cooler, less glossy (80% similar).

FORMULA OVERVIEW | ColourPop Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick ($6.00 for 0.11 fl. oz.) is supposed to be a “lightweight, bold lipstick with a satin finish” that is “extra intense colour saturation” and “long-wearing,” but the brand is quick to note that it is “not completely kiss proof.” The consistency is very light to lightweight with a thin to mousse-like consistency–they feel a little heavier going on than the Ultra Matte formula, but they don’t feel heavy on. They dry down somewhat, but it isn’t a full, flat dry down like matte liquid lipsticks, and when you press your lips together, there is moderate tackiness there, but I didn’t notice any lifting or separating of color by doing so. Thus far, they have been extremely long-wearing and comfortable to wear for the most part–it’s after ten hours or so that I notice my lips feeling a little dry–but six hours into wear and the colors have looked good post-meals/post-drinking. I think if you like the idea of longer-wearing, mostly matte lip color but find most liquid lipsticks too drying or too flat while not needing an ultra-hydrating formula, you might like these.

I swore no more liquid lipsticks, but…….. Panda is mesmerizing me!! I love my purples, there are no close dupes, and it’s so lush, and satiny looking. Going on my wish list for next CP order !

Sonya Avatar

Such unique looking shades!!! Christine, would you say Panda is at all similar to Stila Aria? It looks more purple in your pictures, but I’m not sure if Aria just pulls lighter on me because my lips aren’t very pigmented.

Nancy T Avatar

Oh “yes” to Panda!!! Me and my purples, haha! But seriously, these satins are fantastic looking for the most part. I’m gonna need a few of these, for sure!

Geek Alert: Did anyone else , when see the name “The Rabbit” think of Chibi-Usa from Sailor Moon? (Because the Black Moon dudes kept referring to her as rabbit or the rabbit, depending on the translation.)

Hi Christine,
I know this color wasn’t considered a dupe, but how does Colourpop Flawless lippie stix compare to Panda. They both look similar to me.
Thanks!

Alana Avatar

They’re actually very similar Megan. I have both and I actually use both the flawless lip pencil and lippie stick and then use the ultra satin to intensify the look. Worked out great…the same goes for “The Rabbit”. It mateches “I Heart This” lippie pencil/lippie stick…if you were interested as well. Hope this helps!!! 😉

Hi Christine, how do these re apply if they wear off a bit? with traditional matte liquid lips it can be gross and crumbly. how do these go? thanks!

I love both of these colors — just ordered them, along with Marshmallow, Petit Four, and Lyin’ King! The Rabbit looks like it will be the perfect substitute for Firebird, which bled in the corners on me; and Panda looks more opaque than Theo to me, I think the effect on me will be a bit different (listen to that rationalization — I just love me a purple-ish lipstick with cool undertones!)

Fran Avatar

I’m loving these so far, Christine 🙂 I wore Panda on Friday, mixed with a bit of Marshmallow early in the day to tone it down a bit, then on its own later — it’s gorgeous! I do need to take some care when applying, use either a lip liner or brush, at least with the intense colors. But they’re so comfortable to wear!

Shannon Avatar

I ordered three of the satin liquid lips (lyin’king, panda, and prim) and I ordered panda based off of your swatches because we have VERY similar skin tones, but it comes across way way darker on me and a lot less pinky!! I still adore it, but it’s Funny how that works huh!
