Colourpop Lux Lip Oil Review
This lippie is a super nourishing lip oil perfect for a sheer kiss of colour.
Opt for comfort with this sleek, lip oil!
Colourpop new Lux Lip Oils are hydrating, lightweight, and easy to wear. They’re almost like an updated, chicer version of chapstick in that they’re easily applied without a mirror, hydrating and natural-looking. This lip oil sort of looks like a gloss on the lips but is not sticky or heavy. It’s a sheer wash of color so, if you like a natural lip, you will enjoy this.
How to wear lip oil? This lip oil would pair beautifully with a liner for added definition to your lips while still looking natural. It would also layer nicely over lipstick because it is so lightweight. Since it’s lightweight and sheer coverage on it’s own, I would say this is a daytime lip. It has a natural, undone look that’s casual and easy to wear whenever.
Size wise, there’s not a ton of product but it’s so affordable. There’s high end brands that sell lip oils with the same amount of product for 3xs the price. So if you’re looking at the amount of product per price, it definitely wins. Colourpop always does cute packaging that varies from collection to collection. The floral design painted on the bottle peels off with time but they’re still cute and a great addition to any Instagram flat lay!
The Lux Lip Oils are cruelty-free and vegan. In typical Colourpop fashion, the quality is there and these perform well. More high end brands are dropping lip oils as their comfort and ease is hard to beat and this one is right on par with those. The texture is lightweight, it’s not sticky and it performs like a high end lip oil. If you’re looking to try a lip oil, this is a really good one to start off with!
Pros:
- Comfortable on the lips!
- For a shiny finish, it has a non-sticky formula.

Cons:

- The foiling decoration on the packaging flakes off.
- If you apply this over lipstick some of it will get stuck to the applicator.
- Some people may just prefer to go in with a traditional lip gloss.
Colors/Swatches
This lippie is a super nourishing lip oil perfect for a sheer kiss of colour.
The Lux Lip Oils come in 9 shades and as Colourpop releases more collections, the shade range will most likely grow! The Lux Lip Oils are getting great reviews so I think it’s fair to say we can expect more in the future. Some shades have shimmer, some do not but they all have a glossy finish.
I picked up the shade Blossom Out and in the packaging it looks like a simple, nude with some shimmer that’s perfect for everyday wear. Once it’s on the lips it looks like a clear lip balm and the shimmer is undetectable.

- Skinny Dip – Soft, warm nude.
- Playa Vista – Mid, warm tone nude.

Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a sheer wash of color that’s comfortable, lightweight and hydrating…ding, ding, ding this is it! The Colourpop Lux Lip Oils are a great addition to their already killer line of lip products and they’re unlike anything else they offer. Lip oils are favored for their hydrating, easy to wear, comfort and this one is no different. It’s great for natural makeup days and it helps to hydrate like a chapstick would.
Lip oils are not the longest-lasting lip of the bunch but they’re easy to apply like a chapstick, no mirror necessary. I like to think of them as a nicer version of chapstick as they’re natural-looking, comfortable, and a good everyday option. Lip oils are growing in popularity and Colourpop Lux Lip Oils are totally comparable to high-end brands. Ultimately, if you’re looking for an easy, comfy, hydrating lip – give this a try and you’ll be very impressed!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a lip oil and a lip gloss?
A lip oil is usually lightweight, still glossy but hydrating and sometimes even oily. A lip gloss is heavier than an oil with a thicker consistency. They’re usually sticky while lip oil isn’t. (Think of comparing chapstick and lip balm – both are similar but different consistencies.) They’re both similar but lip oils have more benefits for your lips while glosses are more of an intense, notable glossy look.
What kind of applicator do these lip oils have?
The Lux Lip Oil has a smaller, bendy applicator. It’s good for precise application but with a sheer formula like this, precision is not something you need. Overall, the packaging is nice and chunky which makes it easy to hold and apply. The applicator is small and works very well for this formula.
Is Colourpop cruelty-free and vegan?
Colourpop is cruelty-free and they have the certification from PETA to prove so! Colourpop is vegan for the most part but they do have some products that aren’t. It’s some of their eye shadows and liquid lipsticks (not all shades) and the list can be easily accessed online.
