ColourPop Fab Lippie Stix ($7.00 for 0.0352 oz.) is a muted, medium peachy-brown with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was more of a velvety-matte finish, as the texture had a lot of glide but no visible shine or traditional wet-feel. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied fairly evenly but had a tendency to separate along my deeper lip lines and any imperfections on my lips. It wore well for three and a half hours before pulling away noticeably along my lip lines. The formula felt non-drying over time.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.0352 oz. – $198.86 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have “full coverage” with a “long-wearing, ultra comfortable” feel. Because there are quite a few finishes in the range, some of the results depend more on the finish.
The matte finish tends to be thinner, drier, and firmer in the tube, and they can, occasionally, tug on my lips noticeably during application, but usually have good pigmentation and long wear; they range from non-drying to somewhat drying.
The Creme finish has a creamier, more emollient quality to it that has excellent pigmentation, comfortable wear, and good wear time (four to six hours); it tends to be a little hydrating but occasionally suffers from issues where product gathers in lip lines or they don’t go on as evenly as they could. There’s a soft, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

ColourPop Good Times Lippie Stix ($7.00 for 0.0352 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark chocolate brown with moderate, warm reddish undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging. The consistency was smooth, velvety, and comfortable to wear, though it wasn’t the kindest to lip texture (though not to the point where it was noticeable in person). It stayed on well for four hours and felt non-drying over time.

ColourPop Unreal Lippie Stix ($7.00 for 0.0352 oz.) is a light-medium, orange-copper with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. The lipstick yielded rich color coverage that adhered evenly to my lips, though the consistency was more prone to emphasizing my natural texture and separated a bit along my deeper lip lines. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and velvety–more like a silicone-based primer in that sense–so it was comfortable to apply and to wear. It lasted decently for four hours and felt non-drying.
