ColorPop Lippie Stix Review

I love these lip products. The packaging of these is really nice. Plain white with sparkly writing on it, the only down side is that the writing wears off over time meaning that eventually you will not know what brand or colour these are.

The shape of the product is really well designed, it is small and cut at a really nice angle so when applying you can create a nicely defined lip line without the need for lip liner or fear of overdrawing the lip shape.

These wear for a really long time and have even survived through a light snack without the need for reapplying. That being said the matching lip liners do help in the overall longevity of the lip colour. Although the lasting power is really good on these, they do transfer if you are not careful, especially when eating or drinking. I have ended up with colour on my chin from my lip hitting it when drinking out of a cup.

The primer really does help when applying these lip products. I have really dry lips all the time and find that even the satin version can be drying. So applying their primer which is a kind of chapstick moisturiser for the lips really helps with the application and not to dry my lips out. The matte versions can be sometimes very drying on the lips and can show lines in the lips very easily if not properly moisturised.

I currently own: Frida - satin Brink - matte Lumiere - matte Bichette - matte Dalia - matte Primer

After all of that I still love these lip products and will certainly be buying more in the future. The price is amazing for the product you receive and the pigmentation is near opaque creating a lovely lip colour that is amazing. I always receive compliments whenever I wear these lippie stix’s.

I have this in the shade button, which I got as part of a gift pack. It's a gorgeous peachy nude shade perfect for everyday where.

I love how the packaging is like a pen and the small tip allows for really controlled application. It glides on smoothly and is well pigmented. I find its lasting power to be average but not incredible. There is definitely some transferring going on when I drink.

There's a lot of hype about how cheap these are and how they're super worth the money but I had a google and to me it's not that cheap. The actual amount of product you get is only 1g, considering a normal lip balm is about 3-4 grams. Although mine is only halfway through and I've used it quite a couple times, I can imagine it running out very quickly if you use it regularly.

On Colour Pop the Nixed matte stix is described as a deepened raspberry, but I think it's more of a deep red-y cool purple. It's the perfect tone and depth to be a statement lip whilst being still able to wear at the office.

The texture is creamy enough that it glides on, the colour being deep and solid enough with a single swipe. I'm still getting used to the shape of the head - it's a bit awkward being flat on the end so you have to deal with more than one point creating lines, though I think it'll get better with use, the flattness will round out a bit.

This lipstick does transfer quite a lot, however it doesn't seem to lose any colour when that happens, I only needed touch ups once during a full 9-5 day and that was about 6 hours in. The stix on its own also bleeds slightly, so I recommend using a liner to keep it tidy.

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.

Colour Pop is a USA brand that delivers some impressive high quality products for drugstore prices. I was hooked and I am as I type this awaiting my 3rd haul from them *cough cough*

Lippie Stix, ahhhh where to start these beautiful lipsticks come in a really unique design that make a gorgeous edition to the vanity in a glass container. The pencil shaped white plastic container with the name of the product and Colourpop logo on it in holographic font just adds to its charm. The bottom of the stix shows the colour and the name of the contents. Popping off the cap you are faced with the barrel showing you again what colour is on the inside. Twist this barrel and the lippie stix comes up. The range includes mattes, sheers, hyper glosses and some collaborations with YouTube stars such as coffeebreakwithdani and KathleenLights. Which is where I first found out about Colourpop and got myself plus a few others kind of addicted to them. What makes them special apart for the price is that they are quality products too!! Out of all the variety I have there is just one matte that doesn't like my lips for some reason but the rest of them are long lasting, non drying, highly pigmented with little rub off but there are not promising to be non transferrable lip products so top ups are nothing especially with the cuteness of these lippie stixs I actually love popping them into my bag and then sitting them on my desk to top up the colour after lunch. The only problem is I end up with 4-6 of them in my handbag by the end of the week because I'm so lazy!!

Currently owned shades:

Frida: (Satin) This is the one colour that I had to have, as it is the collab with coffeebreakwithdani and I love her channel, she is who turned me onto Colourpop so I had to have this colour. Frida is warm brick pink colour that looks different on nearly everyone's lips.

Lumiere: (Matte) This is another collab creation with KathleenLights and this is my favourite colour that I own, its a non drying matte that is another one of those tones that looks different on everyone, its a dusty mauve.

Leather: (Matte) deep intense purple but this is the one that actually does dry my lips out which is odd as its a lovely colour.

LBB: (Matte) Rich ruby plum colour

Pitch: (Matte) Rich dark brown colour

Go Fish: (Hyper Gloss) Orange red that has a soft gloss effect to it but nothing too shiny or sticky its almost a muted gloss

Lady: (Matte) Deep raspberry shade

Ellarie: (Matte) Cranberry red colour.

Some of these lipsticks are easily wearable on their own where as some are a little tricky, mainly the mattes that require a good lip liner to help keep within the lines of your lips, luckily most of the lippie stixs have a matching lip pencil.

Very subtle colours great for a simple day time look but shipping is terribly priced for international, great selection of colours

I was so excited when I made my first purchase of these. I had seen them a lot on social media and vlog reviews. I have 5 of these in dark brown and red shades which are gorgeous.

The packaging is a simple white tube with the brand written in silver on the side. The shade name and colour is on the botton. The applicator is wind up and the lip colour is slightly angled. Which i prefer for a more precise application. It does have a smell but it's not pleasant or unpleasant, just smells like lipstick.

I found it's not as long wearing as I would like. The shade range is stunning and the lippies are highly pigmented. I all round really do like this product and at such an affordable price I will be purchasing more shades in the future.

I have most of the lippie stix shades as I love Colourpop so much. They have the best products at an affordable price.

What I love about the lippie stix is it's shade range. They have heaps of shades to choose from. I also love the consistency of this lip product because it's non drying and won't make your lips chappy. It also has a unique packaging apart from other lipsticks which is cool.

After seeing all the reviews online and the unbelievable prices I just had to pick up some products! These Lippie Stix are only USD$5 each which is amazing. I joined in on an order with some friends though as the shipping can be quite expensive. I picked up two shades, Lumiere and Frida. Frida I picked up solely because my favourite artist is Frida Kahlo, I would have picked that one up no matter the shade!

The Lippie Stix's come in six different finishes; Cream, Glossy, Hyper-Glossy, Matte Pearlized, and Satin. I picked up Frida, a satin finish. It is a warm mid tone nude pink with a satin finish and is one of the shades created by Youtuber 'Coffee Break with Dani'. The Lumiere is a matte finish. It is a dusty mauve pink in a matte finish created by the YouTuber Kathleen Lights. I don't currently watch either of the YouTubers but I love that Colourpop collaborates with heaps of Youtubers as it is a nice way of bringing that community together (and marketing gold).

The packaging for these is lovely. I really like the white tubes... although they do kind of remind me of applicator tampons, but not enough to put me off. I really like the holographic print on them although on one that has been in my pocket for a while the writing has rubbed off. At the end of the lippy it has the shade of the lipstick which is one of my all time favourite things in a lippy. The lid has a excellent click to it so there is never any worry about it coming off. The part that twists to bring more lippy up is also coloured the same as the lippy which is a nice touch.

The lippy itself is much thinner than I would expect for a usual lippy but obviously big enough to do the job. Both of these go on to the lips very smoothly. They feel very comfortable on the lips, not drying or sticky. The wear time of these isn't outstanding, they last around 2 -3 hours and fade with drinking and eating, but I don't expect much more out of a lippy.

To be honest (which you would hope I was being), I don't think I will be purchasing more of these. I do love the packaging but there is nothing special about these that I can't get in another product, unless I fall in love with a specific shade.

After watching a huge haul and swatch video (*ahem* maybe four *ahem*) I decided to test these out after the rave review. I bought six - Cookie, Lumiere, Bound, LBB, Frida and Button.

I like the cute packaging, it's a point of difference and adds to the cute "Lippie Stix" title (which two separate people thought that I was just getting tongue tied over saying) The holographic label is sparkly and fun.

They are all gorgeous colours, great pigmentation, go on beautifully and smell yummy too! My favourite is Lumiere, I start the night out with NARS Anna on - but I take Lumiere out with me (I would be less upset to lose it and it's a perfect dupe)

The staying power for me for these hasn't been great. Some only last an hour or two, and transfer quite easily. But I'm happy to tote them along for reapplication. I was too cheap to buy the pencils - so they may have better staying power when lined with the lip pencil first.

I will definitely still be keeping my eyes peeled for new colours, the price point makes them worth not worrying about the short staying time for me.
