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 stayed on well for two hours and moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview

$8.00/0.16 oz. - $50.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "sheer kiss of colour" that is "nourishing" and "lightweight." It's a creamy, smooth balm-like gloss with moderate shine that is comfortable to apply and to wear. It did have sheer coverage that applied fairly evenly with little to no settling into my lip lines (better than most glosses!).

They were hydrating while worn, but they only lasted two hours or less on me, which wasn't unexpected based on the texture (no tackiness and thinner than a longer-wearing lip balm). They had a sweet, almost lemony scent to me with no discernible taste.

Bengal

Colour Pop Bengal Lux Lip Oil ($8.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium, pink-coral with moderate, warm undertones and a jelly-like finish–slightly cream-like but translucent and shiny. It delivered sheer coverage as promised, which went on evenly and smoothly across my lips without emphasizing my lip lines; it seemed to smooth some of them out, actually.

The texture was lightweight, like a creamy balm, and was comfortable to apply and to wear. The only downside to the formula was it wasn’t particularly long-wearing and would need to be reapplied every two hours or so, though it was moderately hydrating.
