The word "poppin" is a slang term used when something looks good, is fresh, or is very prominent. In this case, she says "my gloss is poppin" to mean that her lip gloss looks fresh and stands out. "Poppin" does not have anything to do with making "deposits". In other contexts, the term "poppin" is also slang for something that is popular. Ex: Her new haircut is poppin'! Ex: Those shoes are poppin'.
