Happy Makeup Monday!

I’m sharing a few more goodies from LA brand Colourpop! I was really disappointed to learn that they charge a crazy amount for shipping to Canada so I made sure to place another order before I moved back to Toronto. The lipsticks are my favourite products from Colourpop but I’ve been pretty impressed with their eyeshadows and blushes as well.

Eyeshadows ($5 US): Cowboy (matte pastel lavender) and Bites (matte white). Pastels are really my jam right now. These creamy shadows have an almost spongy texture but apply like a cream. They are very sheer on their own but if you apply a primer underneath you’ll get gorgeous and bright pigmentation from these little guys.

Blush ($8): Olive (matte baby pink). I apply this using a duo fibre blush brush and it has a beautiful airbrushed finish. I think you could get away with apply thing with your fingertips but you’d have to be really careful about blending. I love the colour!

Left: Cowboy, Bites      Right: Olive

Cowboy is such a light pastel it almost looks white, but like I said, if you use a primer you can get slightly more pigmentation.

Bites is the perfect matte for highlighting the inner corner of the eye or under the brow bone.

Olive is a matte blush but somehow still looks looks dewy on the skin.

Left to right: Cake, Gossip, Chi-Chi

Cake (satin) is a bright pastel peachy pink. Sadly this looked terrible on me, it was way too light. I loved it when I swatched it but it’s just not right for my skin tone.

Gossip (satin) os a mid-tone blue pink. It comes across a bit more purple than pink and I love it! I’ve been wearing this a ton lately, it’s bright but not as neon as Cake. I definitely like the satin finish lipsticks best (they also have glossy and matte).

Chi-chi (satin) is a bright true orange. I’ve only been brave enough to wear this out once but I got so many compliments on it I am going to start wearing it more often! I don’t know if people actually liked the colour or they just wanted to commend me on being crazy enough to wear a bright orange lipstick lol

Here’s my makeup look using these products!

    I really need to get some of their lip products. After seeing how amazing it looked on you (and how GOOD IT SMELLS), I definitely feel the need to pick some of these up. I just have to wait for when I’m in the US again since there is noooo way I am playing that horrible shipping charge!

    That pink looks seriously so stunning on you!! That’s too bad about Cake because it looks so pretty in the swatch. Love this whole look with your new hair!
