ColourPop Baby Doll & The Rachel Fresh Kiss Lip Cremes Reviews & Swatches

Baby Doll

ColourPop Baby Doll Fresh Kiss Lip Crème ($8.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a light-medium brown with moderate, warm undertones and a cream finish. The texture was smooth, spreadable, and more velvety with less “wetness” going on, but it still was easy to work with. This particular shade seemed a little thicker, and as a result, was prone to settling into my lip lines.

It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, which was more coverage than marketed, but as it was a liquid product, it was easy to use less and get a sheerer result if desired. It lasted well for four and a half hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview

$8.00/0.24 oz. - $33.33 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be a "hybrid" product that has the "colour of a lipstick with the care of a lip balm" in a "creamy matte finish." They described the coverage as "buildable." They feature a flexible, doe-foot applicator that has a more rounded side and a more slanted, triangular side (the latter worked well for getting crisper lines of color).

The product had more semi-opaque to opaque coverage in a single pull of product, though one could certainly use just one side's worth of the applicator product to achieve sheerer, more buildable coverage if desired.

The consistency was mousse-like with an airy, velvety-smooth feel that made it easy to spread across my lips and kept it comfortable to wear. It wasn't clingy, but there was a bit of adhesion without tackiness, the kind I tend to find is present with more velvety, silicone-heavy formulas like this one.

It has a more cream-like finish that wears down to a soft matte finish after an hour or two. They don't have a full dry-down, so they are not transfer-resistant or ultra long-wearing. They lasted between four and six hours with deeper, more red-toned shades tending to last the longest and leaving behind light stains. They were lightly hydrating over time. There didn't appear to be a scent, and there was no taste.

They are much lighter-weight and less "wet" in feel going on initially compared to the brand's prior Ultra Satin formula. The Ultra Satin formula adhered more and was very long-wearing, and while not initially transfer-resistant, it was more transfer-resistant after an hour or two of wear.

The Rachel

ColourPop The Rachel Fresh Kiss Lip Crème ($8.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a medium-dark coral with warmer, more orange-leaning undertones and a cream finish. It took an hour or so of wear before it had more of a soft matte finish.

The texture was lightweight, mousse-like, and velvety, so it spread easily my lips and felt slightly clingy (not in a bad way), though it settled into my lip lines a bit and wasn’t the most forgiving of lip texture. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation, which was a little higher than marketed, and it was lightly hydrating over the four hours it lasted for.
