Hello everybody. My name is Molly, and I love Colourpop. I have 40 or so lippies, 44 shadows, 3 blushes, and 2 highlighters. I've been lurking and reading this thread for months, and finally decided to join the forum and the conversation.

My shadow and blush collection - the one at the bottom is my highlighter mini.

So excited to talk more ColourPop!

Awesome collection! I'm afraid mine will look like that soon! Haha

Is it weird that I'm trying to name them all without looking it up LOL
 
Haha, no! I played the guessing game with myself when it was still all laid out. I really need to come up with a better way of storing them. I love looking at them arranged by color! I have them all in a plastic three drawer storage thing now. My favorites are towards the top but it's soooo far from organized.

Same thing with the lippies. I have them in two coffee cups with the colored end side up. Pinks and purples in one, reds and oranges in another. I'd love to be able to arrange them so they're more visually appealing. They have such pretty packaging it's a shame to not see them in their full glory, you know?

Anyway. How is everyone else storing theirs?

My shadows and blushes are in plastic drawers and my lippies are in cups. I really like the lippies that way! It's so easy to see all the colors. I wish I could come up with another way of storing shadows, but drawer is all I've come up with too

Man I need a better way to store my shadows! I end up looking for one color for at least 5 minutes and I only have 10 or so shadows. My lippies are in small, short vase I got from the dollar store!

I keep my lippies and lip pencils in these pencil cups from the Container Store.





I saw them used on the Colourpop Instagram and they're perfect storage. I keep my eye shadows in a bin, in a drawer.

Hi ladies! I have a question! What pencil sharpener do you use for your lippie  stix?  Mine just break and look like shiz and I can't use them after I sharpen them. I have been using my Laura Mercier pencil sharpener ... :/ and a tarte one and nothing  Thanks!
I used an Ulta one the other day and it worked well, too
 
I see all sorts of fun ideas at the container store now. Thank you.

I see that you have two of Frida - do you like it enough to have a backup? I haven't bought it yet, because it seemed too close to Lumiere and Brink to me, and although I wear those a lot it didn't necessarily seem like a must have.

I swatched my lippie collection a while back and posted it here, if anyone wants to take a look. It's grown a LOT since then. I'm down to only a few that I'm missing, and most of them I'm not sure I really need. I'm so torn on Ellarie, because I have Creature and Lady and although I love them, I find I don't wear them often. If I'm going for a bold lip I tend to go for something brighter or more berry than the ultra darks, but they look so unbelievably pretty. What do you think of Ellarie?

I actually have two of Frida and Brink because they both broke off at the tip when I first received them and ColourPop sent me replacements. I do like Frida, though! I'd say it's more of a pinky peach and nothing like Lumiere and Brink on me. Those are a bit darker.

Those are great swatches, thanks! Ellarie is a gorgeous color but it's sort of similar to Creature, just a little lighter.

I like how this one has slots. This is much more organized than just a cup with one big opening. About to go take a look at the container store site. I love the actual store front (I'm like a kid in a candy store there, but it is about an hour from my house with traffic. But believe it or not, I have never been on their website for cosmetic organization ideas!
I've only been to the actual store once and I had to stop myself from getting everything.

But the Poppin pencil cups are so convenient. I love that I can store the lip pencils in the smaller slot. Hopefully you're able to find some good stuff!

Thank u everyone that answered me yesterday, I found and tried my sephora sharpener this morning and it works so much better! Yay now I can order more lip liners hahah :3
 
I just received a Stole the Show mini in my order yesterday. I have to say, although it's beautiful, the pieces of glitter in it are a bit bigger than I would have expected. I only played around with it a tiny bit - swatched it super lightly using a cute little mini ecotools brush on my hand.


Ignore the bottom part of my hand, I was comparing Mooning, Mittens, and Farah earlier.

I know the bigger pieces of glitter don't actually show as much. I'll try to get another picture today and post, if anyone would like to see it.
 
I also put my pencil in the freezer for 10 minutes before sharpening and I think it helped the plastic not be as 'gummy' and the liner to not break.

Ooo they all look amazing on you, but I have to say Fruit Stand is probably my favorite on you as well! It goes so well with your skin tone!!
