Ticklish

ColourPop Ticklish Lux Gloss ($8.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a very light peach with warmer, more orange undertones and a dusting of sparkle over a creamier finish. It had sheer coverage in a single layer, which wasn’t buildable. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and felt plusher without being heavy or thick on my lips. For as pale and as milky as the finish was, I was surprised it didn’t apply worse, but it could have went on more evenly. The gloss stayed on well for two hours and was hydrating while worn.

The formula is supposed to have "shine" with a "cushiony soft" texture that "hydrates lips." The brand isn't clear on how pigmented or how sheer the formula is intended to be; they instead they have the "perfect amount of colour all in one." Based on what I can infer from promotional images, their marketing, and typical lip gloss claims (in the industry), gloss is typically sheerer coverage rather than opaque, so based on that, I will be rating on the expectation of medium coverage.

The formula has a smooth consistency that was more like a gel-cream, as it felt denser ("cushiony") without being heavy or tacky. I didn't feel like they were the most forgiving, though, as most shades settled into my lip lines to a small degree. The coverage was sheer to semi-sheer, which resulted in the shades looking more similar on than they looked in the tubes (the initial line-up could have been much more diverse as a result). They lasted between two and three hours and were moisturizing to wear.

There was no discernible taste, and they had a sweet, sugary scent.

ColourPop Tied Up Lux Gloss ($8.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and fine, silvery pearl throughout. It had medium coverage that applied fairly evenly and smoothly across my lips, but there was a bit of streaking along the edges and a product in my deeper lip lines. The consistency was smooth, lightweight, and not sticky at all with a plusher, more gel-cream feel on my lips, which made it comfortable to wear. It lasted nicely for three hours and felt moisturizing over time.
