If you are like me, then you have probably heard of the brand Colourpop. I decided to go on the site and purchase a few products.
First off, the prices are amazing, all the products are under $10, which to me is amazing. Even drug store products surpass the $10 mark. Shipping was beyond fast and they provide you with tracking info. I love the envelope that it comes in. They have their glittery logo etched on it. There is also a lovely note enclosed.
I was heavily influenced by Instagram and Youtube to buy these products (peer pressure), but never the less, I am beyond excited to have purchased what i did.
I ended up purchasing 3 lip products and 2 eye shadows.
The first was the oh so popular StingRAYE by youtuber ITSMYRAYERAYE. This color is described as a "cool toned mauve brown" and it totally agree with it. On my darker complexion this color pops and it's such a perfect shade which complements me and the texture is smooth.
The next was Trap which is described as a "dusty greyed out beige (“greige”)" and it totally is as described, there's also a bits of baby pink/lavender undertones. Like StingRAYE the product applied very smoothly on the lips.
The last was Kapow! And can I tell you, I was so excited for this one in particular. This one is described as a "muted grey taupe" and it gives me that perfect dead girl lips. On my lips it is darker than it is in the bottle.
All of these colors are matte and pair nicely with many other lip liners/pencil/sticks etc.
On to the shadows. I wanted to pick up vibrate colors that fit well with my skin tone, and knowing that i have a full year ahead, I wanted to make sure I picked something up that can be used year round. Beware to tightly seal the shadow because they are a bit moist which allows more staying power and stronger pigmentation. The olive color of Hammered complements my brown eyes, yet the gold reflexive pigment draws more attention to yet. In contrast the reds in Erotic brings a sense of mystery and sexiness when mixed with other shades.
The two eye shadows I purchased are:
Erotic: candy apple red with sparkles. The texture is so velvety smooth. It is as if you are applying a cream product on your skin. this color is not very vibrant, and it also needs multiple applications in order to get an opaque finish.
Hammered: smoky olive with gold tones. Again this is velvety smooth. compared to Erotic, Hammered is so pigmented and true to cool, one swipe and you are done.
Since Valentine's Day is nearing, I cannot wait to wear these products for a date night. I totally recommend you all to go out and purchase these, they do not break the bank, yet you get quality items.
