*Purchased
I blame it on the beauty bloggers. After months and months of seeing hype over Colourpop, I decided to place an order. I knew I wanted to try the matte lip colours along with their eyeshadows. Also because my blush collection has been growing at an exponential rate, I decided to grab one as well.
First let me just say that Colourpop is one of the cutest companies ever. The packing box unfolds to the super cool brand design which was perfect for my blog shots. They also included product cards which were actually super helpful. They also had a hand written thank you note, and I think I died.
Anyhoo, back to the haul. Swatches at the end!
1. Super Shock Eyeshadows and Blush
I definitely had a specific colour scheme in mind with either darker greys or sparkly bronzes. Here's a breakdown of what I got:
3
- A dark grey-brown with a micro glitter sheen
- Pigmentation is great,
- I've been using this for the outer corner
Nillionaire
- Gold-bronze glitter
- This was the only shadow that came broken. Nothing tragic though, I was able to tap it back together
- My least favourite shadow. The pigmentation isn't amazing and mostly all you get is glitter. I wouldn't mind the glitter if it also came with that beautiful bronze base
To-A-T
- A matte light brown
- One of my most used and most favourite
- PERFECT for a lid colour
Party Time
- A matte purple-y grey
- Pigmentation is okay
- Good for the crease or outer corner
Cheerio
- Berry pink blush
- Very happy with this. The colour is perfect.
- It contains a bit of glitter, but unnoticeable when applied to the cheeks (a good thing)
2. Ultra Matte Lipsticks
I was pretty positive I would get Bumble, but I wanted another to add to my collection. I ended up going with Beeper, a very Kylie Jenner-esque pink brown colour. Of course as expected, these were drying, but I love the look of them so I don't mind.
Bumble
- A warm berry coral lip colour
- Perfect colour for work or the weekend
- I think it's the perfect in-between for a nude lip and a bold lip
Beeper
- A matte brown with a tinge of pink
- This was actually a lot browner than I expected, but will definitely still use it
Swatches
All in all, I'm super happy with my purchase. I guess one of the only negatives I found about Colourpop was that I can't depot them and put them in my Z Palette or they'll dry out. I guess it makes sense due to how buttery they are. Pigmentation on most powder products was so so. If you're going for a big impact, I would suggest Makeup Geek for a similar price range. With that being said though, these are pretty inexpensive, and even with the terrible dollar and shipping, I can see myself making another order.
Have you tried Colourpop? What are some of your favourites?
Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!
