Skin Tone: Medium Fair, Warm Undertones

Hello everyone,

I am an obsessed lipstick lover and I love trying new lipsticks so much. I have been eyeing these beautiful lipsticks from Marc Jacobs Kiss Pop range for a long time now and finally, I managed to pick three shades from this collection – Crush, Pop and Wham. I would be reviewing “Pop” in this post today.

My Experience with Marc Jacobs Kiss Pop Lip Color Stick Lipstick Pop 612:

The packaging of the lipstick is definitely very classy. In fact, I was eyeing these lipsticks due to their super cute packaging. It comes housed in an off-white and black colored cardboard box. The entire product-related information is printed on this box. The lipstick tube is in the form of a chubby lip pencil with a long cap. The tip of the cap is color coded. The mirror finish of the lipstick tube looks nice and quite different, but the metallic finish shows up fingerprints so much and I feel like cleaning it all the time to maintain its shine and luster. The shade name is written on a small sticker at the base of the tube.

The lipstick bullet is like a jumbo crayon. It has this regular twist-up base that works pretty smoothly. Overall, the packaging is just amazing but the con I could find in this packaging is the shade of the bullet. It gets really difficult to get a sharp line with this shape once the tip gets blunt. So, I prefer using a lip brush for the application rather than applying it directly from the bullet.

“Pop” is a pinkish red or berry red kind of a shade. The color looks too bold and deep in the lipstick bullet but it actually is quite a wearable shade that looks lovely on the lips. This is a gorgeous summery shade. It brightens up the complexion and it will flatter Indian skin tones nicely. The lipstick is absolute matte and does not contain any shimmer or glitter in it. The pigmentation of the lipstick is decent.

It gives close to opaque coverage in a single swipe. The color looks perfectly opaque and intense in two three swipes. However, it is quite difficult to build up the color using a lip brush and it is time consuming as well. The lipstick sets to a nice matte finish, which is slightly comfortable on the lips initially, but in the later hours of the wear time, it turned out to be slightly drying on the lips.

The texture of the lipstick is thick and quite creamy but it’s not super smooth hence it causes a little tug on the lips. So, it is mandatory to apply this lipstick on well-prepped lips else it will cling to the dry patches of the lips and will highlight them badly. The lipstick has a slightly heavier feel on the lips and kind of sticky as well. The formula is not moisturizing or hydrating and it makes my lips dry at the end of the day. The lipstick does not smear or feather even upon layering. It does not settle into the fine lines of the lips as well. The formula transfers a bit.

Staying power is somewhere around 5-6 hours and fades away gradually leaving a light pink color on the lips. The lipstick is not staining and easy to remove. Overall, I have kind of a love-hate relationship with this lipstick. It’s not as impressive as I expected it to be.
