Well even more bad luck with colourpop lol. I only wore coulorpop bae on my right lid for about an hour and then washed it off. I noticed that my eye was a little puffy but didn't think anything of it. It is now so swollen that my view is obstructed and getting worse by the hour. I've NEVER had an allergic reaction to any brand of makeup and I've tried tons over the years. So crazy! Not my day lol.

Oh my goodness! Ok just ignore all advice and just abandon CP. There are plenty of other goodies from different brands! Not worth your eye.

Yeah I'm going to stay away from their shadows at least lol. I'm sure this is rare occurrence so not trying to bash colourpop or anything just had no luck this haul. I've had a great couple months with getting orders and loving everything so something was bound to be bad lol.

So I got my colourpop goodies today. I'm pretty underwhelmed :/. Maybe I'm too spoiled by the pigmentation of my indies that I was expecting more. I tried a synthetic flat brush and my finger over primer and bae was not duochrome for me whatsoever. Just a flat not too pigmented reddish brown. To get it pigmented I had to dig at the shadow which makes me think these won't last as long as most shadows do. I also found that the creamy texture was harder to blend. The blush prenup also didn't show up very well. I used 3 types of brushes and even resorted to using fingers as well. Maybe I'll have better luck with some brighter colors I have coming in my next order. Overall first impression kinda meh, maybe some of you can give me some tips?
I had a similar experience with Bae, where it lacked a duochrome effect. It was pigmented and my mom liked it, so she's its new owner.
I'm also not a big fan of the shadows, because I find it hard to apply to anyplace other than my lid with my finger. The ones I have also have a lot of glitter and fall out and most days I'm not into that. the shades I have are pretty and I try to wear on the weekend. For me the lip products are the star of the brand. I won't bother trying the blushes. I know a lot of girls love all their products so maybe they have some shadow tricks, but just letting you know you aren't alone :)
I'm willing to forgive the fallout with my other two shades just because they're so unique to my collection (Sequin and So Quiche). And I'm finally caving in the lip department which I'd previously overlooked. The new spring stuff finally got me!

Yikes! Hope your eye is ok!!

Looks like order 1/2 from the spring line will be here tomorrow! This is the quickest I've ever gotten a CP order.

Order 2/2 (which I placed just a few hours after 1/2) still hasn't even shipped yet!

Super quick swatches, sorry! They're a little messy because I was silly and tried to swatch (and unsuccessfully wash off) my LA Splash lippies first.


L-to-R: Cheeky e/s, Bill e/s, Hammered e/s.
Hammered and Cheeky are beautiful! Cheeky is described as a matte, I think, but I would put it more as a satin. I'm in love! Bill is alright... wasn't exactly what I expecting from promo pic and other swatches I've seen. It's more pinky than expected and I wanted to use it as a transition color.



L-to-R: Thumper and Prenup.
Prenup is lovely! Very satiny. Thumper is matte and took a few more swipes to build up to that intensity. (ignore the faded pink allll the way to the left by my thumb. Left over La Splash swatch lmao.)



L-to-R:
Heart On l/s and pencil, Clique l/s and pencil, LBB l/s and pencil, Bichette l/s and pencil.

Heart on is only a little lighter and more pink than LBB on me.
Clique is totally off from their description online IMHO. It's described as an orange-red and their swatch pictures it pulls waaaay more red. This is straight up orange on me. Guess I'll have to play with it.

Thanks for the swatches! For the blushes did you use your fingers or a blush to get that opacity? I have prenup and it is nowhere near that pigmented on me lol.
