Explore the Unique Features of Celestial Powers Lip Duo
ColourPop Celestial Powers Sailor Moon Ultra Lip Duo offers beauty enthusiasts a delightful experience with its limited-edition lip gloss and liquid lipstick formulation. While the gloss may initially seem to have an aqua tint in the tube, its actual application reveals a remarkably transparent finish that imparts a stunning shimmer and sheen to the lips. However, it’s worth noting that the liquid lipstick could be improved in terms of its ability to minimize the appearance of lip lines and texture, and it could benefit from a longer-lasting wear time to enhance overall satisfaction.

Discover the Alluring Transformation Lip Gloss
The Transformation shade initially appears as a vibrant aqua in the packaging; however, upon application, it reveals itself as a delicate pale champagne gold with a predominantly transparent base. This unique formulation includes a generous amount of fine shimmer, which offers a glossy and lightly metallic finish to the lips without introducing any unwanted texture. The result is a radiant, healthy look that enhances the overall appeal of your makeup.

The intended formula aims for sheer coverage paired with “hi-shine” that is designed to be “smoothing” while avoiding stickiness. The lightweight consistency was smooth, non-sticky, and easily spreadable, making it a plush and comfortable option for everyday wear.
While some shades excelled in smoothing, I found that darker shades tended to settle into lip lines more prominently, which was a bit disappointing. I always appreciated how the original gloss formula managed to be forgiving and smoothing.
The pigmentation ranged from sheer to semi-sheer as advertised, and the wear time was solid for a gloss, lasting around three to four hours. Additionally, the formula felt hydrating and featured a sweet, red candy-like scent, though it lacked any distinct taste.

Comprehensive Formula Overview
$9.00/0.1 oz. – $90.00 Per Ounce
The formula is designed to provide “medium coverage” that dries down to a “diffused matte finish” without any cracking or flaking. Most shades deliver semi-opaque to opaque coverage, indicating that they are more pigmented than initially suggested.
The texture is lightweight, thin, and fluid, almost resembling a watery consistency. This aspect allows for smooth application across the lips, ensuring an even distribution of product. Notably, this formula tends to be forgiving regarding lip texture and does not settle into lip lines during the drying process.
After application, most shades typically take about 30 to 60 minutes to achieve a more matte finish, or alternatively, one can gently blot to expedite the process. Once dried, the formula remains flexible and comfortable, providing a lightweight feel. Users can expect about four to five hours of wear time, with the formula maintaining a non-drying feel throughout. A subtle, sweet scent accompanies the product, though there is no noticeable taste.
