Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer Swatches & Review

Press sample Spring is a great time to revamp your makeup bag and stock up on some new essentials for the season. Craving something a little fresh and juicy? It’s the perfect timing as Clinique has launched the new Pop Lip Colour + Primer!

Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer is a rich lipstick with built-in primer that smoothes, defines and nourishes lips to deliver long lasting wear with a comfortable feel. Formulated with Shea and Murumuru butters, this two-in-one formula combines “bold, saturated colour with a smoothing primer in a luxurious yet weightless formula that glides on effortlessly for a modern-velvet finish”. Like all Clinique products, these are allergy tested, and 100% fragrance free.

Available in 16 different fun, flirty shades ranging from soft nudes to vibrant corals and pinks, Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer is designed to moisturize and tint your lips in one easy application.

Formula wise, these lippies are creamy, lightweight and feel really great on the lips. The formula is truly hydrating and wears comfortably throughout without leaving my lips craving for moisture. The color payoff is fabulous too and I love their velvety-smooth semi-matte finish! As for the longevity, I was hoping these to be quite long-lasting (with the primer benefit) but the color stays put for about 2-3 hours without much eating or drinking…which is not bad at all, just not what I thought!

Let’s take a look at the colors now…I have been trying out 4 shades :

From left to right :

Plum Pop is a soft, neutral plum creme

Punch Pop is a rich fuschia creme

Nude Pop is a pearly, pinkish nude

Sweet Pop is a bright, cool pink creme

I am loving all the colors but my favorites are Nude and Plum Pop. Overall, I am really delighted with the formula and love how it looks and feels! All the shades have a beautiful, opaque finish with a hint of sheen and they’re so easy to work with….just perfect to add a pop of color to your everyday looks! Here are the swatches :
