This is a bright peach colour that is a lot brighter/neon than what I
was expecting! This is definitely more of a night out colour for me but to be
honest I find the formula so drying on my lips I don’t know if I could get make
it out the door with this! It’s the quickest drying of any matte cream formula
of lip product that I’ve tried so it’s got that going for it but I just could
not get on with it! I did try putting a little Carmex over it like I do
with a lot of matte lipsticks to make them more wearable for me but this did
not agree with that at all and turned into a bit of a gloopy mess!
This is one of my favourites! It’s a peachy coral colour that lasts a
long time on my lips keeping them nicely moisturised and it really brightens up
my complexion! I am completely in my comfort zone with shades and formulations
like this and it did not let me down! It’s sheer but it’s buildable and I absolutely
love it!
Another ColourPop lip
product I am obsessed with! This is a dusty mauve pink created by Kathleen
Lights who I actually never really watch on Youtube but this shade was so hyped
I had to try it for myself! I’m so glad I did, it’s like nothing else I own and
although I don’t usually get on too well with matte products this one is a
different story! It’s creamy and it doesn’t dry my lips out or accentuate dry patches
(although I always use a lip scrub before applying lipstick for the day!). This
lasts ages on me before I start getting a tell-tale outline around my lips and
have to reapply! I love the size of the nib of the lippie stix too as I can be
more precise when applying!
This is a neutral pink colour with a satin finish and I actually
struggled with this in the beginning because I couldn’t get a brush that would
pick up enough product for me! Since upgrading my old No7 blush brush to the
newer version I have been having more luck with this and love the flush of
colour and healthy sheen it gives me. The formulation of this, the bronzer and
eye shadows is absolutely amazing and like nothing give ever felt before! It’s
so soft and malleable and just a dream to touch!
ColourPop describe this as a warm
tan bronzer which I think is very light and perfect for me to contour with when
I have no tan on, it’s very natural looking and I love it! I don’t find it
overly warm either and I think it would be impossible to go overboard with it!
The super shock shadows were where I think I made a few rash decisions!
I was in a rush so had about ten pages of google images of swatches laid out in
front of me and decided to go with all mattes because I wear them every day. To-a-T is a mid-tone warm brown that
looks pretty much identical on my skin tone to Intoxicate from the Rumer Has It
Collection (not available anymore). Mittens
is a deep warm brown with a red violet undertone. Now when it comes to
eyeshadows I like them cool and taupey/brown/grey so these are slightly on the
warm side for me for everyday wear! I do have blue eyes so by rights they should
suit me and I think they will if I have lots of liner and mascara on to balance
out the warmth of the eye shadows so all is not lost! They are so inexpensive
too I’m not that upset I panic bought and didn’t read the descriptions properly
before buying!
I went with the photos on ColourPop’s website which I found really
helpful as they show the shades on fair, medium and dark skin tones but maybe
should have looked up some more close up swatches and read the descriptions or
I would have stayed away from the warmer tones! Sometimes swatches can be
deceptive!
The stars of the show for me were definitely Crunch, Lumiere, Birthday
Suit and Skinny Dip! Have you tried anything from Colourpop before? Or have you
seen anything you like? I hope they get shipping to the UK sorted soon!
