ColorPop Lippie Stix Review

I loved the amount of colours I could pick from the website, and the amount of product was more than I was expecting. The last power isnt as great as i would like it to be and the matte can be slightly drying on my lips. I found that they worked just as well without a lip liner which was great, but the smell was not my favourite.

I bought a couple of these on a whim, and liked them so much I now have almost every colour they made. They apply smoothly and last incredibly well throughout the day and whatever I eat. They smell really good too!

When they were first launched, I was really excited and I ordered a number of different shades. Online shopping has its down sides and it is the shade not matching what I see on the computer screen. Anyways the formula was really nice and creamy, but that wasn’t the case for all of the shades and finishes I’m afraid. And once it has gone past it’s use-by date, the smell goes off and the formula goes weird too.

I purchased a holiday set of 6 shades. They glide on so creamy and smooth. Pigmentation is good. Staying power . . . not so good. But for the price of these I would purchase more, I don't find having to re-apply a lippie through out the day a major.

I have 6 shades and LOVE all of them! They smell amazing. Make me crave marshmallows :) And the formula is super creamy and pigmented. I use the NYX Lip Primer and I find the lippie stays pretty well. All the shades I have seem pretty universally flattering. I love the packaging too, clean white and simple.

I ordered 4 lippie stix and 4 super shock shadows from the Colourpop website.

First off, prices. The cost was US$40 for the products, plus US$20 shipping, which seems excessive, but seeing as cosmetics are usually more expensive in NZ anyway, it was a pretty good deal! Total cost including shipping was about NZ$75, so it was under NZ$10 per item - so don't let the shipping put you off!

Packaging is cute. Love the holographic fonts. It's simple and white and clean looking. I like the thin stick shape the lippies come in, for me it makes them easier to apply a precise line.

The shades I purchased are:

Skimpy - This is a very light, pinky beige nude and is a gloss finish. When I first tried this on I was so disappointed, it completely cancelled out my lips. It looks like I had concealer all over them, it did not look good with my skin tone, far too light. However, I hate wasting things, so I paired it with the shade Cookie, just in the middle and it gave a beautiful glossy pop and made my lips much fuller!

Cookie - My perfect nude! It's a more beige toned medium nude. This is a your-lips-but-better shade. Matte finish.

Tootsi - This has been compared to Limecrime Cashmere in online swatches but it's a bit more mauve-y. Such a flattering greige, this one is my favourite! Matte finish.

Bull Chic - This one is meant to be matte black, but I find it is more of a satin finish. It also pulls a bit blue-black on my lips and isn't as opaque as the others, but still gives a nice look.

The formula of all the stix were creamy, pigmented and glided easily on to the lips. They have a nice vanilla marshmallow smell and they do last noticeably longer then any one my regular lipsticks. The matte ones don't make my lips feel dry either.

Would definitely repurchase these! I am so happy with the quality and price!!

I heard about how great these lipsticks were and how they were super cheap. I made a purchase off the website and use Youshop to get them into New Zealand. It took about a month for them to arrive. I brought 11 lippie stixs. They had so many amazing colours and different range. The smell of the lippie stixs are amazing, they have a smell of vanilla. They are really creamy even the matte shades. I wasn't to impressed by the fact that after about 20 or so minutes of wearing the lippie stix I would have a line on my lips, a build up of the lippie stix and would need to re-apply or try to remove the build up which I found to be tricky. I love the colours and how creamy the lippie stixs are but I wouldn't recommend these to a friend.

Everyone has heard about the colour pop craze, and for good reason! They are affordable, come in an amazing range of colours, and they ship to New Zealand , who would have thought.

These lippie stix (i hate the name.. just saying), come in a plastic cylinder, with a cap that just pops off. The end off the cylinder has a colour edge so you can easily see which colour is which.

The colours i have are westie, bound & Lumiere. Firstly these smell nice and slightly sweet and the colours are gorgeous. As well as colourpop having a great range of colours, they also have an amazing range of finishes. The colours i got are really pigmented, and apply so smoothly giving even coverage. Seriously, the first time i used these i was in awe. However, the product does not wear well, (although using it with the liner does help). But when you have to use a liner with this product, it makes that a $10 usd purchase, for not a whole lot of product.

Overall, these are nice lipsticks, with a great range and a good price tag. They are not long wearing, but for $5 (usd), who can complain.

Ok, so confession: I only have these in totally unnatural colours. This is why I am so impressed though! Generally speaking, I've found that lipsticks in shades like turquoise, mint green, dark green and such are less than awesome. They're patchy, or watery, or too dry, or only last twenty six seconds before vanishing, or they run like a river. THESE are the first ones I've tried that don't do any of those things!! I am truly impressed with these, and I will definitely end up buying more in the future. What's more, they have a liner to match every single lipstick (lookin' at you, MAC!) which is truly something to be thankful for.
