ColourPop Tip Toe & Carousel Lux Lipsticks Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Tip Toe
ColourPop Tip Toe Lux Lipstick ($7.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had opaque color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging. The lipstick had a creamy consistency with enough slip to be comfortable to use and wear, but it didn’t slide around over time. This particular shade felt a touch thicker than others in the line-up, which I felt was a bit more flattering on the lips (at least to my texture). It wore well for four hours and was hydrating while worn.

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.

LELimited Edition. $10.00.
Carousel
ColourPop Carousel Lux Lipstick ($7.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, peachy coral with warm undertones and a satin finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque in a single layer, while the texture was lightweight, creamy with moderate slip and was a bit thinner compared to other shades in the range. It wore well for four hours and was lightly hydrating over time, but there was a bit of product that settled into my lip lines over time.

Tip Toe is very pretty, but I already have three of the dupes.
Way too white based for me. I would look sickly wearing any of these shades.
Tip Toe looks fabulous on you as a great MLBB shade! I’d get it myself, but the lightest I can do is MAC Mmmmmm or Cosmo, both listed as dupes, but darker.
Carousel also looks good, but way too light for me, I fear. (Even though I do get away with Shy Girl??)
Tip toe look oks like your lips but better! So pretty on you and now I want both tip toe and carousel but they would look awful on me!!! I’m Really enjoying the lux lipsticks!!!!!
Hey Christine ! Your skin looks sooooo heavenly flawless !!! can you tell me which tool do you use to apply the faux filter foundation?
Synthetic brush – not any particular one (whatever’s clean)! It has a great finish, particularly in photos, but I’m not 100% convinced for in person/normal wear, lol.
The earrings! I love them! Can you tell me where they’re from?
Ted Baker!
