Hey everyone! Lately, I've been obsessive over makeup. I usually just stick with brands I can find at Ulta and drug store brands but decided to give Colourpop a try since I see them all over the internets.
I placed my first order during their Last Call sale, so some of these aren't available anymore. Which is ashame, because now I wish I had ordered multiples of a few.
I was kind of overwhelmed with how many options Colourpop offers and how many "last call" items there were. I didn't know if I should catch em all or play it safe. The responsible person in me won and I played it safe.
Here are swatches of the one highlight I bought and five eyeshadows.
From top to bottom:
Flexitarian: Highlight. White champagne in a pearlized finish. Wowza. This is ah-mazing. It looks great on my fair skin. I love this and I'm very glad this wasn't part of the last call sale.
Bites: Eye Shadow. A true white in a matte finish. This was part of the last call sale and no longer available. I love the formula on this one and all the shadows.
Glow: Eye Shadow. Creamy vanilla in a matte finish. Love this one. It has a great off white shade. This was not part of the last call sale.
Cop a Feel: Eye Shadow. Cool toned creamy beige. This one was pretty close to glow but had a bit more of a pinky/beige to it. This was part of the last call sale and is sold out.
Hanky Panky: Eye Shadow. A soft cool toned taupe. I'll be using this one a lot. This was not part of the last call sale.
Shop: Eye Shadow. Rusty coral in a matte finish. Oh my gosh. How great will this be for fall? I also really love these type of shades with my blue eyes. Love! This was not part of the last call sale.
Overall, I love all the formulas and shades I picked. I played it safe with my first order by selecting mostly neutral shades, but I'm really happy I did, I feel I'm building a great foundation to my Colourpop eyeshadow collection.
The lip shades I picked
From top to bottom:
Bestie: mid-tone pink nude in a crème finish. I really love this one for an everyday look. Like, if I'm running to the grocery or school pick up.
BFF: Light peachy nude lip pencil. This is a great nude lip pencil for me.
Contempo: mid-tone dusty rose lip pencil. I also love this shade. The lip pencils glide on so well. I'm pretty obsessed with these.
Clueless: dusty mauve in a matte finish. I cannot begin to describe how much I love this. I have worn it everyday since I received these in the mail. At first, I was skeptical of whether I would like these mattes or not. But, I absolutely do. I'm so happy I went outside of my comfort zone to try a matte lip.
Overall, I'm very pleased with all of my lip selections. The pencils glide on very well. The gloss is such a great shade. The matte lip is really great. One tip I do have when using this matte, try making my DIY Hand Scrub and exfoliating your lips before applying the matte shade.
I'm so happy with my Colourpop purchase that I placed two more orders! I cannot wait to receive them and I'm pretty sure this is my new obsession!
Looks like great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI really like them!
DeleteThese look like really solid products! This is why they have such a strong fan base.
ReplyDeleteYes, I just realized that!
DeleteSolid haul! Clueless really stuck out to me and of course, it's the one you love!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's so gorgeous!
DeleteI love their satin lippies. they are so great.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to order a satin tomorrow, still haven't tried one yet.
DeleteI'm not a Colourpop fan, to be honest. I bought several matte lippies from them in a range of colours, and they all look the same drab brown colour and not the pinks, coral, and the 1 brown I had purchased.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks!
DeleteClueless is definitely my kind of shade for a lip.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty!
DeleteGreat post, I bought lots of new drug store make-up last year for a special occasion, but not worn it since!
ReplyDeleteHa! Maybe you'll have another special occasion to use them before they expire!
DeleteCop a Feel is exactly the kind of colour I go for and Clueless looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteI have used Cop a Feel several times already!
DeleteUgh I need them alllll! Beautiful swatches, I love the compact watermark too!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
