ColourPop 411 Fresh Kiss lip cream ($ 8.00 for 0.24 oz.) Is a light, pink-colored coral with moderate, warm undertones and a cream-colored finish. It took about an hour to wear off to a true “soft matte” finish. The texture was smooth, light, and velvety so it was easy to spread, but not as pliable / wet to the touch as other liquid formulations.
It was quite forgiving of lip texture and lip lines, which was remarkable for this type of color. It had a semi-opaque, buildable color cover that was slightly more pigmented than marketed. It lasted a good three and a half hours and was slightly moisturizing over time.

Formula overview
$ 8.00 / 0.24 oz. – $ 33.33 per ounce
The formula is said to be a “hybrid” product that has the “color of a lipstick with the care of a lip balm” in a “creamy matt finish”. They described the cover as “buildable”. They have a flexible deer foot applicator with a more rounded side and a more sloping, triangular side (the latter worked well for creating sharper color lines).
The product had a more semi-opaque to opaque coverage in a single puff of the product, although one could certainly use just one side of the applicator product to achieve a more transparent, more buildable coverage if desired.
The consistency was mousse-like with an airy, velvety-soft handle that was easy to spread on the lips and was comfortable to wear. It wasn’t tacky, but there was a bit of adhesion with no tack, the kind I find is there with more velvety, more silicone-heavy formulas like this one.
It has a rather creamy finish that wears off to a soft, matte finish after an hour or two. They do not have complete dehydration, so they are not resistant to transmission or extremely durable. They lasted between four and six hours, with deeper, reddish hues tending to last the longest and leave light stains. They easily moisturized over time. There seemed to be no smell and there was no taste.
They’re much lighter and less “wet” to the touch than the brand’s previous Ultra Satin formula. The Ultra Satin formula adhered better and was very durable, and while it wasn’t transfer-resistant initially, it was more transfer-resistant after an hour or two of wear.

ColourPop BB Spice Fresh Kiss Lip Crème ($ 8.00 for 0.24 oz.) Is a light to medium pink with soft, warm undertones and an off-white finish. It had a mostly opaque color coverage that stuck evenly to my lips, but let itself into my deeper lip lines somewhat, which was more noticeable after an hour or two of wear.
The texture was light, velvety-soft and mousse-like, which made it pleasant and easy to spread on my lips. It lasted a good three and a half hours and was slightly moisturizing when worn.
