Hey lovelies,
My love for ColourPop's Lippie Stix continues unabated with six new additions to my stash! Let's take a look at the pretties I have to show you today.
Pinch, Frida, Tootsi, Heart On, Fighter and Blood, swatched on bare skin under daylight bulbs
The packaging for the Lippie Stix is a glossy white twist up slim tube with a slanted lip bullet. I really like the smaller surface area of this lipstick style as it allows a more precision than your traditional larger teardrop shaped bullet. Each lipstick has a coloured end cap which matches the colour inside as well as a label with the name and finish (eg satin, matte, glossy).
The Lippie Stix have a gorgeous chocolate chip cookie scent - it smells just like the Rainbowlicious Chocolate Chip scrub to my nose, which means I'm basically in heaven every time I pop the cap off one of these. SO good.
There's a mixture of mattes and satins here and I've found the texture and application to be great with both formulas. All of them have a very subtle tackiness and a smooth, slightly creamy texture. The mattes seemed to be a little firmer on the lips, but they didn't drag or tug in any way, the satins had a bit more slip. They are all pretty forgiving of flaws, good news for those who struggle to keep pesky lip flakes away!

Pinch
Pinch is described as 'a light pinky beige in a matte finish'. It's a warm terracotta nude with lovely colour pay off and is one of three collaboration Lippie Stix with Rumer Willis (for her Dancing With the Stars appearances). It wears for three hours on me and is noticeably drying.
*
Frida
Frida is described as 'a warm mid tone nude pink with a satin finish'. It has coral leanings and applies smoothly with strong colour pay off. It's one of CoffeebreakwithDani's collab shades, who is not a vlogger that I personally follow, so I'm unaware of the inspiration behind it. Frida wears for four and a half hours on me without being drying but I did notice some gathering of product along the inner rim of my lips - this seems to be pretty common to the glossier formulas for me.
*
Tootsi
Tootsi is described as a 'cool-toned grey beige (“greige”) in a matte finish' - basically another riff on the shade that Lime Crime made so popular with their Cashmere Velvetine. I'm still not sure how I feel about this colour on me, but hey, for $5USD it's a pretty cheap experiment! Tootsi lasted a rather amazing seven hours on me and was not drying.
*
Heart On
Heart on is a 'bright cool toned magenta in a matte finish'. Probably not the most unique shade I could have chosen to add to my overstuffed fuchsia lipstick wardrobe but stuff it - I love this colour. Heart On applies smoothly with intense, saturated colour pay off and wears for four and half hours on me. No feathering, migrating or drying but it does leave moderate staining.
*
Fighter
Fighter is 'a perfect true vibrant red in a matte finish'. It applies smoothly with rich colour pay off, doesn't feather and lasts for just over five hours on me. I love a classic red and Fighter definitely fits the bill!
*
Blood
Blood is described as 'a deep burgundy red in a matte finish.' It has stunning colour pay off and applies super smoothly, Blood reminds me of MAC Runway Red, which I desperately need to reswatch - I am obsessed with this kind of red! It wears for just over five hours, isn't drying and doesn't feather. This is another collaboration shade from Rumer Willis.
What I liked:
- All of the Lippie Stix have incredible colour pay off
- Frida, Blood, Fighter, Heart On and Tootsi aren't drying
- None of the shades feathered
- Tootsi wore for seven hours
- Fighter and Blood wore for just over five hours
- Frida wears for four and a half hours
What I didn't like:
- Pinch was drying
- Pinch wears for three hours
- Frida has some gathering of product on the inner part of lips
