ColourPop Byron Babe & After Shock Lippie Stix Reviews & Swatches

- June 20, 2019

Byron Babe

Colour Pop Byron Babe Matte X Lippie Stix ($6.00 for 0.0352 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color payoff in one pass, which adhered evenly on my lips without streaking, but the product pulled away along some of my deeper lip lines, which seemed just barely noticeable in person. The consistency felt velvety, smooth, and skated across my lips without tugging, and it was much more comfortable to wear than a matte, liquid lipstick typically is. This shade stayed on nicely for five and a half hours, left a pink stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating over time.

After Shock

Colour Pop After Shock Matte X Lippie Stix ($6.00 for 0.0352 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied smoothly and evenly across my lips, but the product split noticeably along my lip lines. The texture was lightweight, velvety, and incredibly creamy going across my lips without the traditional slip of a creamy lipstick (drier but not dry). It wore well for five hours, left a faint pink stain behind, and was non-drying.
