Huge ColourPop Haul! (with swatches)

Uh oh, I may have went a little crazy on the ColourPop ordering here recently - this is actually a combination of 2 orders! The first order, they had a 20% sale, so of course I had to scoop some goodies up, and then for their 2nd Birthday, they released a special edition shadow for the occasion, so I had to put in a second order! Whoops! 

Here is a look at the goodies I grabbed:

I will break it down by products and show you some natural light product swatches! 

First thing, I grabbed a couple liquid lipsticks:
colourpop ultra matte ultra satin liquid lipsticks

I grabbed 2 Ultra Matte Lips and 1 Ultra Satin Lip! Here is a look:
colourpop ultra matte ultra satin liquid lipsticks lumiere 2 kapow molly

Lumiere 2 Ultra Matte Lip ~ $6.00. Meet Lumière's new sister!

I love this colour - it is probably a go-to colour of mine, so I will be wearing this a lot! 

Kapow Ultra Matte Lip ~ $6.00. Zach won’t be the only guy waiting at your locker in this muted grey taupe.

This doesn't really look like a muted grey on me, it is more of a dark brownish on me - it is likely not my colour. I will try and see if I can pull it off. 

Molly Ultra Satin Lip ~ $6.00. You'll be hugging all your friends in this mid- tone plum lilac.

This is a very different colour than what I normally go for - it is so perfect for Spring and Summer! 

Remember, the Ultra Mattes can be a little drying, so I would start with a lip scrub and use a lip primer if you have one! I don't mind the formula as once it is on, it really doesn't budge at all and lasts a long time! The Ultra Satin is a much lighter-weight formula but doesn't dry as well on the lips, so it might wear off faster. 

I also grabbed some Lippie Stix (and a matching liner):
colourpop lippie stix button lumiere cami

The lippie stix come in a variety of finishes from matte, sheer, satin, creme, etc. Here is a look at the swatches:
colourpop lippie stix button lumiere cami

Button Lippie Stix ~ $5.00. Pale creamy peach nude in a satin finish. Ain’t it just cute as a button?

Button is a "Satin finish" lippie stix - I was expecting this to be a little more nude on me, but I like this colour and I love the finish of the lippie stix! They go on very soft and smooth and add a nice colour with a full coverage finish - perfect for an easy spring day! 

Lumiere Lippie Stix ~ $5.00. A dusty mauve pink in a matte finish created by the lovely @KathleenLights - "I wanted a color that both bold and shy people could wear. It's not a nude..it would look great on EVERYONE​!"

Lumiere is a "Matte finish" lippie stix and I know these all appear really similar - what can I say, I like a dusty mauve?! But they do have different finishes and I love this color!!! 

Cami Lippie Stix ~ $5.00. No need to cover up in this neutral mauve pink in a Matte X finish.

Cami is from a newer line of lippie stix called Matte X - it appears to be more pigmented and longer wearing than the Matte finish. Again a similar colour, but one I love! 

Lumiere Lippie Pencil ~ $5.00. A dusty mauve pink created by the lovely @KathleenLights - "I wanted a color that both bold and shy people could wear. It's not a nude..it would look great on EVERYONE​!"

To go with all my similar mauve-y shades I ordered, I figured I needed a lip pencil to match! 

I will say I love the textures of the Lippie Stix - they go on so smooth and dry well, but don't dry out the lips and have a lovely finish! The lippie pencil goes on very smooth as well! 

I also grabbed some eyeshadows:
colourpop supershock eyeshadows

Whoops, did I happen to buy very similar colours again?! Can you tell that I know what I like! ColourPop hasa very unique formula of eyeshadows and it is somewhere between a full creme shadow and a powder! (You either love it or you don't, but I like it and I don't normally like creme shadows!)

The Super Shock shadows come in a variety of finishes as well - matte, metallic, satin, etc. 

Here is a closer look at the colours I bought:
colourpop supershock eyeshadows sunset blvd weenie wattles tea party cop a feel

Sunset Blvd ~ $5.00. Warm golden bronze in a Pearlized Finish.

This shadow is from the KaePop collection - is a beautiful shade - I love gold and bronze tone shadows! 

Weenie ~ $5.00. A pinky rose gold in a Pearlized finish.

This shadow is from the KathleenLights Where The Night Is collection and seriously, this colour is gorgeous!!! Probably one of my favorite eyeshadow shades ever! 

Wattles ~ $5.00. Waddle on over and check out this dusty beige pink in a Satin finish.

This is a great medium toned pink - I feel like I will use this a lot! 

Tea Party ~ $5.00. A versatile soft peachy pink with gazillion silver glitters and subtle hints of pale pink glitter. Highlight anything and everything with it! This shade is made for you if: you love pink champagne, sparkles, and tea parties (duh).

This colour is sooo pretty! I love pink, champagne and sparkles so obviously it was made for me! I will have to play around with it to see how well it will work as a shadow!

Cop A Feel ~ $5.00. Don't be afraid to get a little grabby with this cool toned creamy beige with a Matte Finish.

Oooh... this is such a great light matte shade, I will be using this a lot! 


colourpop super shock eye shadow birthday boy

Here is a look at the swatch:
colourpop super shock eye shadow birthday boy

Birthday Boy ~ free gift with purchase on their birthday, not available for purchase! 

I'm a sucker for limited edition products - I NEED THEM ALL! This colour is really stunning and I can't wait to wear it! 

So I will say, when ColourPop sends you instructions or tips on how to use their shadows, follow them! They advise that for the most intense look to use your fingers - I know this isn't how most people prefer to apply their eyeshadow but for this formula it works. Again, this eyeshadow formula is not for everyone, but I love it! 

I also grabbed some eyeliners:
colourpop creme gel liner

I tried 1 potted Creme Gel Colour and 2 Creme Gel Liners! Here are the swatches:

Exit Creme Gel Colour ~ $6.00. Don’t head for the door without this true bright white.

I have actually really just started using potted gel liners, but this one is really highly reviewed and is super pigmented. So I don't like doing swatches with brushes, but I probably should have for this! 

Cry Baby Gel Liner ~ $5.00. A cool-toned pastel lavender that won’t make you cry.

This is a very pretty light liner colour - it is not something I wear very often, but is such a fun colour!

Prance Gel Liner ~ $5.00. Jump for joy in this bright periwinkle blue.

Oh hello colour of the year light blue eyeliner! I also like this little pop of colour for a fun look!

All of the liners have great pigmentation and go on nice and smooth! I'm happy with both formulas! 

Because I'm not done yet, I also grabbed 2 highlighters and a blush! 
colorpop blush highlighters butterfly beach spoon between the sheets

I haven't tried either products, but they have a similar creamy consistency like the eyeshadows! I llike the formulas, but will have to practice using them on myself as I haven't used a lot of cream blush before! 

Here is how they apply:
colorpop blush highlighter butterfly beach spoon between the sheets

Spoon ~ $8.00. A light silver champagne with multi-dimensional silver flecks, that is sure to get you forked.

This is such a beautiful highlight shade! I'm loving how reflective and light it is! I think it works well with my skintone too.

Butterfly Beach ~ $8.00. Soft peach with highlights of gold and silver, a shout-out to our favorite So Cal Beach.

This colour is really beautiful - nice and peachy, but I actually think it is too dark for my skintone for a highlighter! I will keep it either was and see how it works as an eyeshadow! 

Between The Sheets ~ $8.00. A mid-tone beige pink in a matte finish, be a lady in the streets or a freak in the sheets.

This is a pretty shade, but it is much more pink than I think the description suggests! Either way, I really like it. 

Again, because these products have a different formula I would suggest to use the recommendation brushes for application to help make it applying the products easier! 

And, I picked up 2 more products that were new to me! 
colourpop brow pencil sculpting stix

I thought I would try their Brow Pencil and Sculpting Stix! Here is a look at the swatches:
colourpop brow pencil sculpting stix banging brunette releve

Bangin Brunette Brow Pencil ~ $5.00. Do it better in this true brunette brown.

I hope you can see it in the first picture, this brow pencil has a super small tip making it really great for precision. The pigmentation is great for a pencil and really allows buildable coverage! This product also comes in a potted gel that I will have to try eventually!

Releve Sculpting Stix ~ $5.00. Creamy white with soft golden highlights.

This swatch shows the colour and then to the right you should be able to lightly see it blended in to my skin. I haven't really used a highlight scultping stick before, but thought for $5 I should try it. You are supposed to apply to areas you want to draw forward - bridge of the nose, cupid's bow, etc and then blend out! I like this colour so I will try this and see if it is right for me! 

Alright, I bought a little more than I intended, but there was quite a few products I wanted to try and ColourPop pricing is so affordable!

    1. Ah yes they have some really great stuff and so affordable! It's hard to resist - I may have went a little overboard!

  2. Great haul! I'm not a huge fan of the blushes only because I find that they are so pigmented and the texture makes it difficult to blend them out to look natural (or perhaps it's just the color I have) but I want to give them another try just for that color you have! So pretty!
