ColourPop Cosmetics | Haul & Review
Sunday, September 20, 2015
A few weeks back, I tweeted that I placed an order from ColourPop Cosmetics and that I was so very excited to get these items so I could finally play with them! In today’s post, I’m going to show you an overview of what I purchased and my final thoughts on if I’ll be placing another order soon. The best part? Most of the items on their website are UNDER $10! Yes, you heard me. Under $10.
I tried my best to order a wide range of items from the website. I ordered a few of their Lippie Stix, eyeshadows, and a highlighter. Alright...let’s get started!
Lippie Stix | Satin, Sheer, Matte
Frida - Satin
Frida is a beautiful rose-pink shade that is the perfect pink for a “no makeup” makeup day. I actually wore this yesterday and absolutely loved the way it complimented my simple look - just a little blush, mascara, and Frida...you are all set! This shade wears well, it lasted me about 4 hours before I had to reapply. I think this is a pretty common thing with the Lippie Stix, but they are so incredibly comfortable to wear! This one is a new favorite.
Juice Bar - Sheer
Juice Bar is a super comfortable and smooth sheer shade that gives your lips a beautiful sheen. To me, it is a true pink. This is, in addition to Frida, a great option for days that you are looking for a minimal but complete look. I would recommend this as a starter shade for anyone.
Westie - Matte
I have always been a little bit hesitant when it comes to matte shades because I am that person who can’t handle a lip product that feels heavy or uncomfortable in any way. I ordered the matte shade Westie because I thought I would give it a try. I’ve heard so many good things about it. And...it’s true! it’s a wonderful baby pink shade that can be worn alone or topped with a nude gloss and it is the perfect, long wearing option!
Super Shock Shadows | Matte, Pearlized, Metallic
Girl Crush - Matte
This is a beautifully creamy cool toned taupe shade. This is a great color for the outer corner of the eye to add a bit of depth to your look.
Cop A Feel - Matte
This is a great shade for all over the lid to start off a look, or used as a matte highlight shade for darker skin tones.
Tea Party - Metallic
This shade is not particularly my favorite, only because it has a lot of chunky glitter throughout it. It looks like a silver glitter with a slight hint of peachy pink. This may be great over a matte shade to add something extra to the eyelid.
Cricket - Metallic
This is a beautiful metallic shade with a purple-taupe base. This would be a beautiful eyelid color for a deep purple smokey eye or a pop of sheen on a matte-purple look.
Envy - Metallic
This shade is very interesting - with a very deep purple base (almost black!) and some heavy purple glitter, this is a shade that I can see used around New Years Eve time for a beautiful and unique eye look.
Plunge - Pearlized
I love to wear this color all over the lid with just some mascara. This a beautiful champagne color that adds so much brightness to the eye.
La La - Ultra Metallic
This is my favorite shade of the bunch! This particular shade has such intense copper pigment. It is absolutely beautiful, long wearing, and super creamy.
Highlighter
Lunch Money - Pearlized
This highlighter is a gorgeous champagne color that blends beautifully. I would use this as both a cheek highlight and a highlight for the eyes. A light wash of this would do a similar job that Plunge (above) does. It just adds a ton of brightness to any look.
Overall, I am really happy with these shades. I think the price point makes it even more exciting. The one downfall I’ve noticed is the way they have to be stored because they cannot be put into a Z Palette. These have an awesome sponge-like feel but turn into a powder shadow! I would recommend a few of these shades to absolutely everyone.
