There's something about summer that makes me gravitate toward easy, carefree beauty. When it's warm outside, who wants to stay in and spend time on their makeup? Not me! That means long-lasting formulas that I can pop onto my eyes or cheeks quickly and go, which makes me think of Colourpop. It's been a long time since my last order, so I figured I'd pick up some new shades for Spring!
I think I like Colourpop's blushes the best out of anything in their line. They're so soft, easy to blend with just a finger, and last all day long on me. They're also only $8 a piece! I also picked up a highlighter while I was at it because I only have two of them so far and I've been wanting to try more.

| Super Shock Cheeks in Fox, Highly Waisted, and Birthday Suit |
Highly Waisted is a soft golden peach with pink and gold duo chrome finishes. In person it was a little darker than it appeared in the swatches on their website, but I'm hoping it's still light enough for me to use as a highlighter. I think it'll be okay once I get a little more color in the summertime.

| Left to Right: Cop a Feel, Wattles, Mixed Tape, Vanity Fair |
Cop a Feel is a cool-toned creamy beige with a matte finish and is the perfect all over lid color for my skintone. It evens things out and creates a great base! Wattles is a dusky beige pink in a satin finish and is a unique shade for my collection. It looks warm in my swatch picture below, but it really comes out how it looks in the jar, above. It's a cooler, grayish pink shade that's a perfect lid/transition color. Mixed Tape is a mid-tone cool gray in a pearlized finish and is also a really "different" shade for me. It's more Greige than gray with a little brown mixed in...I'm in love with this color! Finally, Vanity Fair is a cool-toned silvery taupe with a pearlized finish and I'm glad that it's a little more subtle in person. It'll make a great lid color when I want to add a little more drama.

Overall, I love all the new shades I got, there wasn't a dud in the entire haul. I really need to order from Colourpop more often because everything is such high-quality at drugstore prices. Now if only the drugstores would start carrying them!
Have you hauled anything from Colourpop lately?

ReplyDeleteThanks Sammie! :)
DeleteI love Colour Pop, and like you have had really good luck with blushes & bronzers which I bought last year. They're still going strong this year & (like you said, again) they last so long & are so easy to use once you get the knack. I use a small stipplng brush from elf to apply.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tip about the elf stippling brush! I normally just use my fingers but I have that same brush so I'm going to try using that next time. :)
DeleteJen, I know that you have dry skin. However, based on your experience with Colourpop blushes/highlighters, would you recommend them to someone with oily or combination skin that's breakout prone? I know that people with oily or combo (breakout prone especially) skin should avoid cream blushes like the Great Plague, but you and other rave reviews on the Internet got me intrigued. Thanks

Hmm...I wish I could give you a definitive answer but I'm just not sure. I remember when G from Nouveau Cheap reviewed the eye shadows a while back and she said she has very oily lids and they wore for 10 hours with no creasing or fading. So that gives me hope that they might be okay for oily skin. Can anyone else out there with oily skin please help answer this question for Marina?

I actually hate Colourpop's blushes but their highlighters are possibly the smoothest I have ever tried. I have oily skin and have no problem with any of Colourpop's products, including eye which are my favorites. I find their blushes extremely difficult to apply and after a while they seem to get really firm in the pan. On another note, if you haven't tried their creme gel liner pots, you need to. Absolutely amazing and do not budge.
DeleteYes!! I love their eyeliners, they're probably the longest lasting of any price point that I've tried. I wasn't sure about the blushes the first time I tried them and some feel more firm than others but I found that if you really dig into them and mush them around they work a lot better! :)
DeleteNice haul! I love ColourPop. I need to place another order soon. I want to get the some of the spring collection and more Ultra Satins.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel! :)
Deleteeveryone seems to love their products. I had a haul last year due to the hype. I felt the lippy sticks emphasized my lip crevices. While I absolute love the shimmery eyeshadow, it doesn't looks sophisticated. It's really a disco ball. I liked the matte shades but they don't last more than 3 hours
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you on the Lippie Stix...way too drying for me, although I did like the sheer ones because they were more moisturizing with a glossy finish. I rarely wear the shimmer shadows because they're just "too much" for me these days. I really like the mattes and they last all day on me (I find they work best without primer) but I also have very dry skin so creams tend to cling really well. :)
