ColourPop Cosmetics Birthday Collection

I know it is a little late now, but I just received my order of the ColourPop Cosmetics Birthday Collection the other day and wanted to share it with you all. I will share swatches, my opinion of the collection, and a look I created with the collection.


Swatches


The first four swatches are the pressed powder eyeshadows, followed by the supershock eyeshadow, the highlighter, and the three Ultra Glossy Lips.

Look and Review




How I created this look:
-The Big 3 Pressed Powder Eyeshadow all over the lid and in the inner corner.
-Rager Pressed Powder Eyeshadow in the crease.
-Party Favors Pressed Powder Eyeshadow in the outer crease.
-Birthday Cake Super Shock Eyeshadow on the outer lid.
-Cakewalk Pressed Powder Eyeshadow on the inner half of the lid. 
-Highlighter in Blow Me Out.
-Ultra Glossy Lip in Wishes.

Now to be completely honest this look did not come together the way I wanted it to. I loved the way my eye look turned out, but I found nothing else went together cohesively.
In my opinion if you were not able to get your hands on this collection you did not miss out on too much in my opinion. There are some aspects that I liked about the collection, but other aspects that I did not care for. First off I will start with what I liked from the collection. I absolutely loved the pressed powder eyeshadows, they were all really pretty duo chrome shadows and I would love to see ColourPop make more of these types of shadows. The other item I really liked from this collection was the Birthday Cake Super Shock Eyeshadow. This was a product that anyone could get for free if you spent $25 at the time the birthday bundle was available. Although I loved this shadow when it arrived it was not secure in the pan and can just fall out and I have never had this problem with any of their other supershock eyeshadows I've tried.





Now for the parts of the collection that I did not particularly like. First of all, I was not a big fan of the Ultra Glossy Lips. Although they were pigmented, I found they would be better as more of a lip topper than an actual lip gloss and I was just not a big fan of the colours and how they looked on me. The formula is nice, I just did not like the sheen/shift they had to them. I'm addition, for similar reasons I was not a huge fan of the highlighter that came with the collection just for my skin tone personally. The formula of the highlighter is so smooth and creamy and based on the formula I would definitely buy one of their other highlighters, but this one was just too dark for my pale skin, but would be beautiful on deeper skin tones!

Overall, there were aspects of the collection that I loved and others that I didn't quite care for. I feel as though they could have put a more universally friendly highlight in the collection since the one they included was very gold in colour. In addition, as I mentioned I did not like the finish of the lip glosses, but there were only lip glosses in the collection as well. I feel like they could have given a few more options in terms of lip products, like one Ultra Glossy, an Ultra Matte, and an Ultra Satin Lip or something like that. Despite those things I was not one hundred percent impressed with in the collection, I loved all the eyeshadows that were included and thought they were beautiful! So if you were able to get your hands on this collection that's great, but if you weren't able to I wouldn't say it's a huge loss or a must have collection of products.


Thank you all for viewing this post and I will have another one up soon!!
