Malibu Sunset
ColourPop Malibu Sunset Lip Duo ($11.00 for 0.17 oz.) includes a matching lipstick and lip pencil, which were both of a raspberry hue. Both products were pigmented and long-wearing with even applications achieved without much effort.
Ingredients
Malibu Sunset
Malibu Sunset is a rich, raspberry red with cooler undertones and a cream finish. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly to my lips with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that wasn’t too dense or too thin. There was a minute amount of product that settled into my deeper lip lines, which wasn’t visible in person (just in the close-up photo). It lasted well for six hours, left a stain behind, and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.12 oz. – $58.33 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.

Malibu Sunset
Malibu Sunset is a deep, raspberry pink with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly over my lips with very little tugging/pulling. The texture was smooth, velvety, and lightweight, so while it was a little clingy, it wasn’t drying or uncomfortable to wear. It stayed on well for over six hours and left a faint stain behind.
