COLOURPOP, I THINK I WANNA MARRY YOU

KathleenLights is one heck of a babe. I've grown quite obsessed with her Youtube channel lately and she raves a lot about Colourpop. You've probably heard the apparent deal with Colourpop. Almost everything is $5 and beautifully pigmented, with a great colour selection. I wanted to put these rumors of greatness to the test so I ordered a smattering of products – Lippy Stix, Super Shock Shadows and a Highlighter.

I haven't played around with them much yet, but nevertheless... Holy. Fudge. From first swatch of these guys I was blown away. I ordered three lipsticks, all matte. They're lovely, pigmented, all good things that you'd expect. Impressed. That's nothing compared to my first impressions of their powder products.

Their eyeshadows and highlighters are a formula like none other. So often I hear beauty bloggers talk about how “creamy and buttery” eyeshadows are, but usually when I have a grope of whatever they're talking about I just don't see it. This time round, I definitely see it. Oh I see it real good. When you touch these shadows they have a give to them and they truly feel like they're somewhere in between a powder and a cream. For that reason, as everyone says, they apply best with fingers. They're more pigmented than any other powder shadow I've ever seen, particularly the matte shades.

Top-Bottom: Colourpop Smoke N Whistles, TheBalm Mary Lou-Manizer

I'll give a final mention to the highlighter I picked, Smoke N Whistles. It's something to behold. It's got a wonderful pale, pink undertone and, although I didn't think it was possible, it may be even more intense than TheBalm Mary Lou-Manizer, still without any obvious glitter particles. I mean DAYUM Colourpop. Dayum. If you were a lady I'd date you. I'd date you so hard and then I'd marry the shit out of you.
