The finish was more satiny applied, as there was a visible sheen. It had good pigmentation with a light-medium weight consistency and more creaminess than the last two shades.

ColourPop Nevermind Lippie Stix ($5.00 for 0.0352 oz.) is described as a “deep blackened violet [with a Matte finish].” It’s a dark purpled burgundy with subtle, cool undertones and a natural finish. It had semi-sheer to semi-opaque color payoff, but the texture had a moderate amount of slip such that the color applied unevenly and settled into lip lines over time.

ColourPop Lippie Stix ($5.00 for 0.0352 oz.) are slim, twist-up lipsticks that have a sweet, vanilla-y scent (that sometimes smells a little waxy, too) in a variety of shades and finishes. Each finish has its own formula, and all six shades in this post had matte finishes. This type of finish is supposed to have “full coverage,” long-wear, and be “ultra comfortable.” Some can be dry, others have just enough creaminess not to be difficult to use. Similarly, some have a more matte finish than others. Wear varies from shade to shade but leans towards four or longer, and some shades are drying over time.

Contempo and Dazed win the prize for being the first shades to tempt me enough to finally try Colourpop’s matte lippies (maybe Grunge too. I’m on the fence). Along with several of the shadows… they’ve really knocked this fall collection out of the park, haven’t they?!
It’s pretty good 😀
Grunge is awesome, you should try that too.
That D on Nevermind makes me sad, but I have a couple of the dupes.
It’s such a cool color so I was sad too! 🙁
Oh oh oh Dazed is BEAUTIFUL! I am not a fan of autumn (maybe early autumn before daylight becomes a distant memory), but I feel a little better when I think about all the berry shades I can pull out.
Is summer your season, Sunny? 😉
Haha yes! I am solar-powered. I can do so much more when there is daylight. Short winter days are tough.
Christine, I am so excited for this collection! I think I’ll be getting all the lippie sticks except Nevermind… and am obsessed with ‘mixed tape’ from the super shock shadow collection too.
How does Contempo compare to Lumiere, in person? I tried doing your side-by-side swatch comparison but the site told me ‘image unavailable’ for Lumiere 🙂
Sorry, I haven’t reviewed Lumiere!
Colour Pop Lumiere is often called an exact dupe for NARS Anna (google this and you’ll see what I mean). Christine has reviewed NARS Anna, so if you compare Contempo to NARS Anna, that will give you an idea
I love Nevermind, but I’m wondering if it would perform better with the matching liner.
I’m sure it would!
Love Contempo and Oh Snap! Very pretty colors.
They are! Very fall-ish without being too dark.
Aw what a pity on Nevermind’s performance! I really love Nirvana so I thought it’d be fun to get. But I guess I’m content with getting Grunge! I’m considering Oh Snap too, I’ve been loving my lippie stix lately so I might as well get a couple!
I know! I really wish it applied better.
I’ll definitely be buying Contempo. It’s so pretty and fairly unique.
Awesome! Enjoy it, Lisa!
I LOVE Dazed. I wish nevermind was good, I need more vampy goth shades in my collection.
Me too! I wish it was better.
Feminist from Colourpop is almost the same shade as Nevermind and it has an A rating on Temptalia.
Oh Snap is the perfect nude on you!!! I really want Contempo, but I’ve been buying medium pinks left and right so I don’t really need it haha.
Thank you, Nikki!
Oh, Colourpop, it’s so difficult, but I shall sonehow forgive you for not naming “Grunge” Nirvana instead, or “Dazed” Courtney (Love)….
I know Nevermind failed (EPICALLY), but I just cannot help myself, I have to have it! But it’s totally foolish on my part, and I know it! Also love Contempo and Oh Snap, even though Oh Snap may be a bit light for me. Grunge is gorgeous, but I already have MAC Royally Riotous, so I probably don’t need Grunge, huh? Loving Poison, too!
Enjoy it! There is also a matching Nevermind lip pencil coming.
Thank goodness! Because it appears to really need one for it to work. But how fun it’ll be when someone asks what I have on, and I get to say “Nevermind…, no really that’s the name!”
Oh, good! That will help considerably.
I’m so excited for Grunge! Love!
Yayyy!
It’s 50 degrees here in Michigan… needless to say these Fall lippies are timely and I’m ready! LOL
LOL!
I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that I’m bummed about Nevermind not doing well. Grunge and Contempo are my faves out of the bunch. But, I like them all. I do usually get the matching lip pencils. But, I prefer to save that expense where I can. Christine, I know you mentioned that Dazed is somewhat sheer. Are there any others that you think need a pencil to look opaque?
Dazed isn’t too sheer – I don’t really notice it isn’t opaque from a normal viewing distance. Only Nevermind is visibly sheer to me!
Thanks! I may get Nevermind then with the liner just because it’s $5 and see how they work together. The color is awesome! Do you feel like the liner will help all the issues?
I haven’t applied the lip pencil yet – couldn’t make through all of those quite yet!
I totally understand! I probably will pick up Nevermind just to see( unless you review today ) along with whatever others may look unique for my collection..maybe oh snap. I have to study them a little closer.Thanks for getting these reviews up!:)
Definitely won’t have reviews for the lip pencils for at least a week, I think!
Ok, thanks for the notice!
Absolutely love Grunge, that’s a perfect shade for fall! I’m a little disappointed that Nevermind got a D; there was so much hype around it. Oh well, I’ll use that $5 on one of their fall shadows. Maybe Central Perk because I’m a Friends fanatic. or Plaid because that color is so darn pretty! 🙂
It’s such a cool shade, but it needs a liner for sure!
These are all gorgeous colors. I know all the reviews say Nevermind is patchy, but I love the name and color. For $5, I’d probably get it anyway and use a liner.
There is also a matching lip pencil!
Yay! Thank you, Christine, for letting me know.
I can’t get past how their lippies stink (literally) and have a waxy taste.
Sorry to hear it!
These names and colors are bringing back the ’90s for me !! I’m going to get Poison . Great to see it’s a dupe for NARS VIP Red — I was eyeing that saw in store, NARS seems warmer, and it’s a lot more expensive
They did a good job naming this for a 90s-theme!
These look great. Oh Snap is such a great nude for you imo and Poison makes your pretty eye colour really pop! Bring ColourPop to UK please!!
Thanks, Kate!
Oooh, I like these! I really like Nevermind, too bad about the rating but the color is pretty..I think I might get it anyway. Grunge and Oh Snap are definitely on my list!
Those poor purple lipsticks 🙁
Poison would have to be my stand out favourite of these lipsticks – fabulous colour for autumn. Looks great on you Christine – those red/brown colours really suit you.
Poison was one of the best ones!
Anyone know the release date?
August 27th
Oo! thanks!!
Yeah, not so much as it turns out. It was supposed to be today, but now they’re still playing coy on twitter.
I love these shadows, but frankly, the company itself is starting to get a little terminally precious :\
aw man that d on nevermind is a bit sad because it really looks like a nice color! i’ll probably still buy it though for that price. do you think a lip liner would improve things or should i just roll with feminist? (both are gorgeous but i really like that nevermind is a bit lighter hmmm)
definitely getting poison and grunge though! i probably have a bunch of dupes for them but man i can’t help myself when it comes to reds and browns. my money has been waiting for fall makeup collections!!!
Well, they also have a matching lip pencil (Nevermind) coming out as well!
Are these permanent? The nature of the collection makes me think it might not be 🙁
They’re limited edition – on the Glossover for the shades, it says Limited Edition next to each! 🙂
Oh my gosh. I wish Nevermind was better! I’m not even a fan of dark, dark lip colors, but I totally would buy it and give it a try if it had a better grade because I loooooove Nirvana (RIP Kurt Cobain). I mean, I might still get it anyway…
Maybe with the liner 🙂
These all look lovely, but it’s a shame Nevermind got such a bad grade. Not only am I a sucker for purples, love the name.
Of course it had to be purple and had to be difficult!
-Screaming, clawing at computer screen-
lol!
Poison is so beautiful!! Do you know how it compares to MAC’s Dubonnet? 🙂
I think Dubonnet is a bit redder!
I’m sorry, I just have to say I’m SERIOUSLY LOVING COLORPOP. The prices, the quality! The colours!
Yayyyyy 🙂
I like Dazed and Grunge!
Yay 😀
I really like the look of Grunge!
Yay!
I picked up Nevermind along with Colourpop’s lip primer and using the primer with it gives me even and opaque coverage that lasts 4 hours.
