ColorPop Lippie Stix Review

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 am blessed that I received my set of lippiestix in my makeup swap. So I have the Sundays in sliver lake set plus 1 other. These are a combo of mattes cream and sheen. Can I just say these smell sweet & are very practical. For the price they're sweet. The shades I have are Cougar(matte red with a blue undertone),Parker (matte nude brown),Pasties (supersheen brick red),Ace (cream muted brown nude), Chella (cream peaches orange ),Thirsty (satin grey brown nude)& Tootsie (matte dark brown grey nude) Packaging :A retractable pencil type stick with a white lid with its name glitter graphics on the outside the colour at the tip with its name on it. Very user friendly. Contents: A slim lipstick that is slanted & has alot inside. It smells like chocolate & the slant makes it easy to apply. Effects: I line my lips first then sweep the lippiestix onto my bottom lip instantly pigmented colour with one stroke. So there is no need to over lap the first swatch but old habits die hard. I'm learning that one swatch is satisfactory & especially when my lipliner is a primer it helps with the colour and stay power. I find as the day goes on the colour fades but still stays on & I don't mind that it's faded as it still looks very nice. I haven't experienced any feathering & I've been wearing these everyday as my go to lip sticks. For a matte finish this doesn't show up every crack on your lips as most mattes finishes would. The cream finish is very complementary aswell. I love lippiestix by colorpop.

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.

LOVE these!! I can't get enough of the lippie stix! Currently I have 5 shades: Frida, Lumière, Freshman, Sweet-Thing and Frenemie. The different shades they offer come in a variety of finishes too. Some are matte, some satin, glossy, hyper glossy, and recently they added a cream finish. Regardless of the finish, the colors are super pigmented and decently long-wearing. And the formula is creamy and non-drying in the matte shades. The packaging is super cute too. They're tall and skinny like a lip gloss might be but still have the twist up like a regular lipstick. The stick is also thinner so it makes applying to your lips super easy. They have such a great variety of shades for every person and are super affordable at just $5. I could go on forever about how much I love these.

Colourpop is so worth all the hype! These are amazing and affordable AND very good quality! There are a lot of shades and finishes to choose from so there's something to suit everyone! These lipsticks I reach for ALL THE TIME and I love them! They're very nice sleek white packaging and easy to just through in your handbag! They don't have a very string smell which is a good thing (for me).. I find that some of the colours also stain the lip a little which is a plus for me! What I love even more about these lippie sticks is that you dont have to sharpen them! Yaaay!

I just made a huge colourpop order and I got a bunch of lippie stix, they have quickly become my new favourite lip sticks, they're super long lasting, they come in so many colours and are really affordable (the postage to nz is super pricey though) but I really like them so much, I can't think of anything I would change about them, they do have a slight scent but it's nothing offensive. All the shades I got were in a matte finish and they last all day without being drying,

I have two of the matte shades: Lumiere & Brink. I really enjoy the packaging of these, they come in a long thin tube with a twist up top. The bottom of the tubes show the colour so they are easy to identify. The lids click on very securely which is a plus, and I find the smaller size of the bullet makes a precise application easier than usual.

I can't speak for the other finishes but the pigmentation of the mattes I have is great, you get full opacity in one swipe and I haven't had any streakyness with the colours I own. They do have a slight crayon type smell to them but its only noticeable if you're actually trying to smell it.

The wear time on these is what has really impressed me. These last until at least lunch time without needing to be touched up (about 5 hours), and when I have eaten or drank something they don't move much and I find a good amount of colour is still on my lips.

Overall, definitely worth it for the cost of these.

i love these! i have a few that i ordered at the start of the year and i liked them but i found them very drying and kind of difficult to apply, but i was recently ordering and thought i would give them another go and found that they seem to have changed their formula because they glide on so easy, are not as drying as they used to be and last so long!
