ColourPop By the Rose Fresh Kiss Lip Lacquers Reviews & Swatches

First Glass

ColourPop First Glass Fresh Kiss Lip Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a medium-dark peach with warm, brownish undertones and a cream finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which could have applied more evenly but had less streaking than I would have guessed by the feel and color.

The texture was smooth, lightweight but slightly thicker in actuality, and while it didn’t emphasize lip texture, there was slight product that settled into my deeper lip lines. It wore well for four hours and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$8.00/0.21 oz. - $38.10 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have the "pigment of a liquid lipstick" paired with the "shine of a super gloss" that is also hydrating and "ultra-creamy" with "high colour saturation." They were pigmented--typically semi-opaque to opaque--with a smooth, creamy consistency that was lightweight, non-sticky, and spreadable.

If anything, I found they were a little thicker and/or too much product was dispensed on one pull of the doe-foot applicator (so wipe off excess or try to use just one side for getting coverage) as there was a fine line between a good application (mostly even) and a less-stellar application that had some streaking.

I found that they were smoothing of my lip lines, especially as it wore down, and my lips looked hydrated, fuller, and smoother. Most shades lasted around four hours with some lingering color and shine with an even fade/wear down. The formula was comfortable to wear and very hydrating, and it gave me the feeling of a lipgloss/lip balm hybrid more so than a lipstick/lipgloss hybrid.

They were vanilla-scented but has no discernible taste.

It's On Me

ColourPop It’s On Me Fresh Kiss Lip Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a bright, medium pink with moderate, warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single pass, while the texture was lightweight, creamy, and smooth without being tacky but was slightly thicker overall.

The color applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without emphasizing my lip lines or catching on lip texture. It stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Spritz Me

ColourPop Spritz Me Fresh Kiss Lip Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a darker, reddish-plum with slightly muted, warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. The consistency was moderately thick without being tacky, and while it was physically thicker, it didn’t feel heavy on.

The product had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly onto my lips and wasn’t prone to settling into my lip lines. It lasted well for four hours and was hydrating over time.
