Hmmmm. Ok so I haven't gotten into the powders yet but I can tell you guys about the lip stuff lol.
I like the lippie sticks regular lipstick things. Kind of a weird smell to them but they're pretty opaque and not too drying. Some of them can look cakey (lighter colors). But they're true to color in the tube. Remind me of some of the stiffer rimmel lipsticks in terms of how they feel.
I'm having the weirdest problem with the liquid lipsticks though!! (Both formulas) I do like them overall but just unexpected issues. So I watched tons of swatch videos and looked up pictures before choosing colors but when I wear them they only look like the color of the swatches when wet, once they dry they change colors like completely on me. Not sure if maybe my lips are reacting weird with them/too pigmented (I'm super fair so I don't think that's it), or if that happens to everyone and we don't see it in videos because no one lets them dry? Anyway, example- I got midi, it goes on wet that bright baby doll purply/pink BUT it dries to this darker mauve color on me, not bright, more like a my lips but better color. Like how the hell does that happen?? The light colors especially seem to go several shades darker when dry which actually made the colors I thought would look perfect be way too dark. Hah. Definitely not true to the tube and I don't even know where to recommend a good dry lips swatch video or post.
the bright and darker colors looked more like they were supposed to. Like Scrooge was basically dead on for its tube.
As for the formula of the liquid lips though, I don't hate it. I don't have problems with most liquid lipsticks feeling drying in general. I do have to stop myself for reaching for the lip balm while wearing these so it is a noticeable feeling. They don't last forever, I noticed them smudging on napkins when eating and stuff. Not on the back of my hand on test though so they're pretty good just not bulletproof or anything.
Oh and customer service suckkkkks. They screwed up and sent me 2 of the same color (one duplicate in the box for another..hmm). Anyway it was a huge pain to get them to send the missing color. I had to take pictures of the 2 duplicates, the box it shipped in, the invoice, and of the stamps of the person who inspected it just to even get to them saying they'd do something about it. It was for a $5 lippie stick. Jeezus. They did fix it but it was a pain in the ass and they kept calling me "love" the whole time while suggesting I was a liar.
As a side note. Why do they call everyone love anyway and why is there a U in colourpop?? They're made in Los Angeles and seem proud of it. Like, what? Isn't that demeaning to women and a bit presumptuous (that all their customers are women or are ok with being called love). Anyway, pet peeve there.
Overall: good for cheap drugstore level lip products. Nothing special but gets job done sufficiently. Watch the colors, the light ones might go darker on you.

idk how I feel about their cheek stuff. I'm kinda worried because y'all are saying they dry out super quick. Overall they're nice but not something I'd buy again since their international shipping is super expensive.
I opened a case with USPS as well as emailed their customer service and got two different answers. Not happy and probably won't be reordering even if the product actually gets to me and I love it. I only ordered three lipsticks ffs, what's the holdup?! I asked for a refund, and if they refuse I'm gonna go through my bank to see what can be done to get my money back bc there's NO reason that something I ordered on the 9th shouldn't be here yet with first class shipping.
