ColourPop Haul and Review!

Disclaimer: I wrote this around February, it's just been stuck in my drafts folder >.< Sorry!

 Look what arrived in the mail last week! AHH! MORE COLOURPOP!!!!! I'm obsessed. Look at how cute the box it came in is! And isn't it adorable that they also put in a handwritten thank you note? (Sorry, I didn't know how to rotate it.)

 I got 5 of their Super Shock Eye Shadows and a Lippie Pencil (since I don't own any lipliners). Here's some more packaging porn:

 The lippie pencil is in the color "Frida" created by my favorite youtuber: CoffeeBreakWithDani! It's a warm nude color that leans a bit differently on everyone. For me it shows up as a light camel color. I needed something nude that I could use everyday as just a normal lip liner, but also something I could wear on it's own. I think I picked a winner. The lip pencil is matte and very rich and creamy. However, it gets used up pretty quickly and it's plastic so sharpening it is not the easiest thing to do. But it looks gorgeous and was only $5 so it's totally worth it.

 As usual, ignore the face demons. My lips are extra gross looking because of this awful weather. Here they are with nothing on them:

 Here's Frida:

 As you can see, Frida covers all my lip imperfections quite nicely and doesn't settle into dry patches or cracks.
This is the nub left over after my first use:

 Told you it goes quickly.

Next I wanted to test and see how good it was at preventing feathering with one of my feather-prone liquid lipsticks I bought recently: Rimmel London's Show Off Lip Velvet.

It didn't alter the color at all and actually kept it from being as slippery as it usually is. I love this lippie pencil!

Now onto the shadows (all pictures show the shadow up close and swatches with/without flash): 

This eyeshadow is called Mermaid Kiss and it's labeled as a "tie dye". It's got bright green, yellow, and blue. It's awesome because it swatches slightly different each time but once it's blended on the eye it looks lime green.

This emerald green is called Empire and is described as a "pearlized" finish. It's just so gorgeous with my brown eyes, I love it.

This is a deep, blackened teal that I absolutely adore using for depth in the outer v of my eyelids. It's called Effect and it's a "matte" finish.

This is my favorite of the bunch: Ibiza. It is a gorgeous turquoise, "pearlized" finish. It's so amazingly creamy, it applies like a dream. It's got 5 stars on the Colourpop website for a reason!

Last, but not least, is Lace. Lace is a deep purple, "pearlized" finish and neither of these pictures do it justice. Purple is another great color for brown eyes.

Here are all the swatches:

These suckers have staying power! I had them on for 5 minutes, then scrubbed with a makeup remover wipe, and my arm still had faint outlines of each color.

Well, that's all for this haul. Honestly, I love everything I own from Colourpop, I seriously feel like they can do no wrong. 5 shadows and 1 lip liner for $30 (each was just $5!!!) and free shipping too! You won't regret purchasing anything from them, trust me.

XOXO,
