Huge ColourPop Haul & Swatches!

I have made it pretty obvious from my past posts that I love ColourPop Cosmetics - I place orders all the time and have quite a few products stashed up waiting to be swatched! 

Unfortunately, the last 3 ColourPop orders that I placed were hit with Customs fees so I think I will take a hiatus from ordering from them (at least, that's what I'm telling myself right now!) But here is a look at some goodies from my recent past orders:

The newest items are the ColourPop single pressed powder eyeshadows. I actually did a very recent post on just the pressed powder shadows with a makeup look - you can check it out here. These are swatched with a finger and in natural light with no primer, for a look at the true colour:

These shadows are $5 a piece and come in a variety of finishes - matte, satin, metallic, and duochrome.

The News ~ Read all about this matte warm rose
Pinky Promise ~ Cross your heart in this metallic wine
High Strung ~ This metallic dusty rose is on another level
Pebbles ~ This satin yellowy pink will make your Bedrock
Sauvage ~ Didn't they tell you that I'm a duochrome peach with a hot pink flip?
Bouquet Toss ~ You'll be dying to catch this metallic pinky peach
Double Date ~Two metallic lavenders are better than one
On The Fence ~ You won't be on the fence when it comes to loving this frosty pink
Secrets ~ This matte pale baby pink's lips are sealed

For the most part, these shadows were good! The metallics and duochromes had a little bit of fallout and double date was not as pigmented as I wanted, but I do like how these apply - they blend well and look good! 

In addition to offering single shadows, ColourPop has put together a few mini palettes with 4 coordinating shadows. These are $18 (saves you $2 if you were to buy all 4 shadows on their own!). 

I picked up the "Blow Me Away" Pressed Powder Shadow Palette described as "this vibrant quad will take your breath away with its fresh, peachy coral tones". And it includes:

Take A Break ~ You're going to need a second to take in this duochrome peach with a subtle gold flip
Issues ~ I got 99 problems, but this matte pastel peach ain't one
Centerfold ~ This matte vibrant coral needs a two-page spread!
Slim Fit ~ matte hot red coral

This fits in great with the Peach trend right now! The palettes are really big for 4 little shadows, but I like these shades. A couple of the mattes have a little fallout, but I don't mind as they are so pretty! 

I also picked up some of ColourPop's Super Shock Shadows - these are a really unique, creamy formula shadows that are sold in singles for $5 each! Again, they come in all different finishes (although, clearly I only picked up super glittery ones in my last few orders!)

Glitterati ~ Join the glitterati in this silver with gold Ultra-Glitter
Eye Candy ~ An icy lavender drizzled with tons of silver Ultra-Glitter, a seriously sweet treat that will definitely give you a sugar rush without the crash
Prickly Pear ~ We don't always reach for a prickly pear, but when we do... it's a lavender with gold and violet Ultra Glitter
Far Side ~ No conspiracies here, there’s life in this deepened bronze undertone sprinkled with lots of gold Ultra-Glitter and subtle pink and silver highlights

Who doesn't love ulta-glittery shadows?! I do like the uniqueness of the Super Shock shadows - they are best applied with a finger, or a brush that has been sprayed with a primer. 

Recently, ColourPop also released pressed powder blushes and highlighters as well. I was excited to try these! These duos are $16 each and are huge! 

I picked up the "Done Deal" Pressed Powder Face Duo described as "this fresh and girly duo won't have you second guessing that rosy glow!" It includes:

Above & Beyond ~ matte blush; warm pink
Made Me Do It ~ pearlized highlighter; champagne pink

I'm impressed with the pigmentation of both of these products - I much prefer them to the creamy texture of their original formulas 

ColourPop has a ton of different lip formulas - they are most known for their Ultra Matte Lip! I have quite a few full size lipsticks, but I love that they have mini size sets as well so you can try quite a few shades for a better price! 

This "The Good Times" Mini Size Kit has 5 Ultra Matte Lips for $18.00 (currently on sale for $14.40 and on last call so scoop it up if you are interested!) The kit comes with:

Times Square ~ muted pink beige
Solow ~ flamingo pink
Bad Habit ~ true berry
Creeper ~ classic blue-red
Avenue ~ deep brick red

I'm a big fan of the Ultra Matte Lip formula - it can be a bit drying, but just start with a lip scrub and a primer and it is much easier to wear! 

In addition their Ultra Matte Lip formula, ColourPop also has satins, glosses, metallics, lippie stix, blotted lips, etc. They are all between $5 and $6. Here are a few different lips swatched:

Panda ~ $6.00. Panda panda panda in this deep violet (Ultra Satin Lip)
Viper ~ $6.00. You’ll really want to sink your teeth into this true dusty rose (Ultra Matte Lip)
Frick N' Frack ~ $6.00 for full size (I have a sample size here). You be Frick and we'll be Frack and we'll both look good in this rosy terracotta (Ultra Satin Lip)
London Fog ~ $6.00 for full size (I have a sample size here). You won't get lost in the fog in this pinky red (Ultra Satin Lip)
Drip ~ $5.00. Drip, drop, flip your top in this warm rosey mauve (Blotted Lip)
Baewatch ~ $5.00. We don't stalk, we baewatch this dusty rose in a Matte finish (Lippie Stix)

The Blotted Lips are new formulas that I'm really excited to get using! Personally, my favorite formula from all the ColourPop lips is the Lippie Stix - they are really wearable and don't dry the lips. Also, I do really like the Ultra Satin formula as well! 

So, this will likely be my last ColourPop haul for a while, unless they come out with something that I REALLY need, but I don't like customs fees. Plus, I generally only order when they have good deals on shipping to Canada. What are your favorite ColourPop products?
