ColourPop Hot Shot & Bengal Lux Lip Oils Review & Swatches

Hot Shot Colour Pop Hot Shot Lux Lip Oil ($8.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a light-medium, caramel brown with warmer undertones and a jelly-like finish that was shiny and translucent. The texture was lightweight, thin, and smooth without any tackiness, so it was comfortable and almost creamy to wear. The pigmentation was sheer, which was as marketed by the brand, so it may look quite different from person to person as the natural lip color will come through a lot.

It had good color coverage in a single layer, but it was the driest shade in the release of four–even after working away the top layer. It was almost putty-like initially, and while normally, I find the warmth of a fingertip aids in application… this formula merely laughed at my foolishness. Trying to apply this shade with fingertips yielded more product on my fingertip and large patches where product had lifted away because it was both tackier while being dry and clingy. A flat, synthetic brush was better at getting product onto my skin initially, but there was some separation along my crease and finer lines. A fluffy, synthetic brush was better at dispersing the product while laying it down, which made it faster to apply so there was less visible patchiness.
