Karrueche X Colourpop Fem Rosa: SHE (Pressed Powder Shadow Palette)




\
Shown in outside sun light
This is Karrueche Tran's 3rd collection with Colourpop and 1st eye shadow palette. The palette features 8 metallic shades and 4 matte shades, that are pigmented and soft to the touch. Very impressive. This colors are subtle and feminine and perfect for beginners. If you are looking to create a complete eye look with this palette you may have to improvise. But even though there are no crease or transition colors in this palette the shadows are perfect for the lid, and the first row in the palette seems like they would be great on the brow bone. I am personally not a fan of the metallic shades in this palette even though they are so pigmented and beautiful, matte eye shadows are my go to. With that being said the palette retails on the site for $16.00USD, and you get 12 eye shadows which calculates to $1.33USD a shadow which is an awesome deal. The downside is there is no mirror in the palette, but the packaging is artistic and the palette its self is sturdy. I like that they named the colors in the palette I just wish they would have put the names inside the palette near the shadows. I give this palette a 19 out of 20 rating.

Patchy application
Takes too long to dry

Great price


Swatch Out! Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip (Notion)

 Notion is a deep plum color. That is not too dark which I love. Perfect for fall.
This color dries down a little slower than the other ultra matte lips and also tends to transfer a little bit, but it may be the color formula, because I have the same issue with their ultra matte lip More Better. Perfect for all skin tones. $6.00USD

Colourpop Ultra Mattes: Drive In, Avenue, Kae

 Drive In- Violet
Avenue- Brick Red
Kae-Terracotta

All three of these colors are great. Kae is a slightly lighter version of Colourpop's Limbo, but the colors are very similar. Avenue is a brick red and reminds me of Lime Crimes Wicked velvetine but Wicked is deeper in tone. Still it is a close dupe. Drive In is a bright pink violet that is a dupe for Lime Crime's Utopia velvetine, which you will find helpful to know seeing as Colourpop has recently discontinued this color. These Colourpop's ultra matte liquid lip colors are long lasting, pigmented and affordable at just $6.00 each. 

Pros: No smell or taste, affordable.
Cons: Online only.
