ColourPop She’s a Beach Babe Lip Bundle Review & Swatches

She's a Beach Babe

Colour Pop She’s a Beach Babe Lip Bundle ($15.00 for oz.) is a new(ish by now), limited edition trio that features a lipgloss and two of the brand’s Ultra Blotted Lips. I really enjoyed the gloss on a personal level, since I like shimmery, high-shine glosses that go with most things, and while not perfect, the Ultra Blotted Lips formula is interesting and I can see why some really adore it over typical liquid matte lipstick formulations. These shades can be purchased individually for those who only like one or two of the shades!

Just Surfed

Just Surfed is a medium-dark copper gloss with more of a translucent base and a ton of fine, copper pearl and larger gold and copper sparkles. The medium-level coverage came more from the shimmer than the actual gloss base. It had a really high-shin, so paired with how much it sparkled, it had more depth than expected. The texture was smooth with a touch of tackiness, lightweight, and comfortable to apply and to wear, and I was impressed by how only a very tiny amount sat in my deepest lip line (but I couldn’t even tell in person as it was so shiny!). It wore well for four hours and was hydrating over time.

Love Bite

Love Bite is a soft, muted coral with warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. The consistency was more watery and dried down rather thin and definitely had a flat, dry matte finish–almost dusty in a way. Even though I exfoliated my lips prior to swatching did not make the application flawless, as there were still imperfections on my lips that the formula highlighted. Surprisingly, it was rather comfortable to wear and I often forgot it was even on. It had semi-opaque coverage (and it’s supposed to have medium coverage) that lasted for four and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating over time.

Party Wave

Party Wave is a medium-dark coral with warm, reddish undertones and a matte finish. It had medium coverage, just as described, that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips. The texture was thin, watery, and dried down quickly to a transfer-proof, matte finish. It didn’t emphasize my lip lines (though it didn’t smooth them out either) that was featherweight and comfortable to wear. This sahde stayed on well for four and a half hours and was non-drying.
