Fenty Beauty Tropic Tantrum, Alpha Doll, Purpsicle Poutsicle Juicy Satin Lipsticks Review & Swatches
Tropic Tantrum
Fenty Beauty Tropic Tantrum Poutsicle Juicy Satin Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a bright, fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a cream finish. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and a little thicker compared to most shades in the range, which seemed to translate into a slightly creamier, more emollient quality to the product as well. The pigmentation was nearly opaque in one layer, but there was a bit of streaking along the edges of my lips and slight product build up in my lip lines. It wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance as it was quite opaque and vibrant. The color lasted well for five hours, left a stain behind, and was lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$20.00/0.1 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "bold" color with a "juicy, satin finish." They're bright, bold, and fairly pigmented (some being opaque, a couple being a bit under) with a smooth, creamy consistency that feels like a cross between a lipstick and a lip balm with a touch of tackiness but feels quite lightweight on. They have a bit of slip, so those who may find feathering to be a frequent issue may still want to pair with a lip liner or primer (but I didn't experience feathering myself).
The only shade that was particularly troublesome was Motorboat, which had less coverage and an uneven application. There was some of the feel of the Mattemoiselle range here, but it was definitely a glossier, creamier, and more hydrating direction. The shades lasted between four and six hours on me with some shades staining. The formula was lightly to moderately hydrating. They had a sweet, vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Alpha Doll
Fenty Beauty Alpha Doll Poutsicle Juicy Satin Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark lavender purple with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had good color payoff but needed a second layer for full coverage. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and balm-like with light slip, though it had more shine than expected (based on texture alone). There was product that slipped into my deeper lip lines but not enough that it was noticeable from a normal viewing distance. It wore well for four and a half hours, left a pink stain behind, and was moisturizing over time.

Purpsicle
Fenty Beauty Purpsicle Poutsicle Juicy Satin Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium purple with warm, pink undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation one layer, which didn’t quite build up to full coverage with a second layer. The lipstick had a smooth, lightweight feel that was balm-like but firmer (without being stiff) so it didn’t feel as emollient as it appeared (in terms of shine). The color went on fairly evenly, but there was a touch of product in my deeper lip lines; luckily, that wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. It stayed on nicely for five hours and was hydrating while worn.

Purpsicle is so pretty (and a cute name), but I have MAC Heroine, so I’m covered for this kind of shade.
Way, way too neon for me but I do like the finish!
Having had MAC Heroine on my WL for freaking ever, I may just take the dive with Purpsicle instead! I love how it looks less dry than Heroine. Besides, who doesn’t crave a Purpsicle in summertime, eh? ?
