 totally love that spongy, mostly cream but goes on more like a powder texture (as evidenced by my great love affair with Dior’s Fusion Monos!).
Oh wow, I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this brand! These are absolutely beautiful; and for $5!
I believe they’re newer – not sure how new!
These look gorgeous! Can’t decide if I should buy these or the MakeUp Geek shadows! Such a tough decision!
I guess I’d consider whether you prefer powder or cream eyeshadows, shimmers or mattes (ColourPop is heavy on the sparkle).
Super intrigued by the price point.
A few readers requested reviews, because they seemed too good to be true at $5, lol!
Wow! These look awesome, I’ve never even heard of ColourPop here in the UK.
The only one that seems to fall a tiny bit short is Doe a Deer, the rest look incredible!
Looking forward to the review, Christine!
I know they’re a newer brand, though I’m not sure how new new they are.
omg awesomeee. i’ve picked up a few but its so cool you’re reviewing these too! would love to see what you think! and maybe pick up some lippies too?
Which ones do you have, Raven?
Some of these appear quite pigmented. Interesting colors!
Yes, many of them definitely seem quite pigmented!
Wow. These look super pigmented and shimmery. Perfect for the holiday season 🙂 I can’t wait for the full review!
Thank you for your hard work, as always!
Dare is absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait to see how these perform. I have some of the Dior Fusion shadows and while they’re gorgeous, it’s challenging to actually get them to transfer to the lid.
What brush do you use, Aline? Some of the LE ones and the matte ones were trickier, but the original set was really easy for me to use.
I haven’t tried any of the matte ones. I’ve pretty much given up on brushes and just use my fingers and I’ve tried the sponge tip applicator that comes with them and it think that’s ok. I’m kind of bummed that I lost so much product on my fingers, but they’re really gorgeous on and I get lots of compliments every time I use them. I wish I had the magic solution for you.
Oh, that is a bummer! I use MAC’s 239 and 242 often with them without issue. I also really like Chikuhodo’s GSN-09 with cream eyeshadows (there’s something about the fluffiness/density that works well). If you have any synthetic brushes, though, that might help as well.
I have both of those MAC brushes, so I’ll give them a try. Thanks so much for the suggestion.
Yay so happy they are getting love on your site. I have been down with them for a long time and now I see they are all the rage amongst the YouTube folks…Absolutely amazing brand that writes a personal note with every order, amazing color payoff and the lippie stix and lippie pencils are amazing as well…My favorite eyeshadow by them are Bae, Bandit, Rex, and Lace!!!
What are your favorite Lippie Stix? I did pick up a few, but I only managed to get through photographing all of the eyeshadows.
Our of the eyeshadows I ordered Cheeky and Animal last week. Should have gotten Amaze as well.
LOL! So many unique lip colors to try, so little time.
I’m so excited you’re reviewing these! I love love love ColourPop! I have about 12 of the eyeshadows so far and I’ve been super impressed with their customer service. Will you be doing the Lippies as well? I’ve been curious about them, but haven’t purchased any yet.
I did get a few of the Lippie Stix, but it’s harder to swatch and move through a ton of lipsticks (a lot more sweat equity, LOL, with lip swatches involved), so I only picked up a few to try.
Oh my GAWD. Bae, Chipper, and Dare needed to be in my collection AGES ago!!
Oh my goodness, BAE is the sky!
Also like Dasher.
I had never heard about this brand. Can’t wait for your in-depth review.
Bae is pretty cool, though the term Bae makes me feel about 400 years old, lol.
Bae is calling my name. I’m not suposed to buy more make up, but I might be tempted if the review is good.
They are cream products and need to be kept in a tight container or else they will dry out.
I think I need Dasher in my life.
These look pretty good! I’m not a fan of electric cools and cream shadows because they tend to crease on me, but at this price point, I wouldn’t mind picking up a few to try. They don’t look nuanced like illusion d’ombres, but some of these colours are really bright and fun!
Some shades are a lot more complex than any of Chanel’s, some are more one-note (like peach with white sparkle or something like that).
Bae looks interesting! Similar to MAC Club or UD Lounge, but with a cooler base, maybe? It looks more purple/blue rather than rust/green.
There is actually one that seemed like it might be like Club, though the duochrome isn’t very strong (IMO) when swatched or used.
Wow these colors look gorgeous… the payoff very good. Are they available in EU?
I’m looking at the header photo, the shade that is on the bottom left corner… is that one swatched in this post? If so, what is its name? Maybe you just haven’t swatched them all and I’m jumping the gun.
It might not be swatched – I only took group shots for the actual box sets I bought, and I’m just using those as a good “look at me!” photo. Bottom left is I Love This, and you’ll see it soon. I think it’s the next sneak peek 🙂 They’ll all be up today. And if you’re really impatient, they’re already uploaded and viewable in the Swatch Gallery.
Wow! These look amazing! Thanks for swatching!
Will you also be reviewing the lippies? I’m not a big eyeshadow fan so I’ve been looking at the lippies for awhile but not sure what to get! Having some swatches and reviews would be so helpful!
Ooo! Much love for these colors!!
Any ones that stand out to you?
Glad to see these on your site! I swatched a bunch of these a while ago on my blog, and have since ordered more shadows as well as some lippies. I think they’re pretty awesome!
Not a fan of the texture? You’re not the first to say it! There seems to be some who love that spongy cream eyeshadow formula (e.g. Chanel, Dior, etc.), but there are a few readers and friends who’ve been more, “Hmmm….” on them. Which ones do you have?
I can’t wait to see your reviews on these! I have been going between these and the MUG foiled shadows and would love to see how you compare them before I make a purchase!
 The textures are pretty different from that perspective.
Bae and Drift stand out for me.
Bae seems pretty interesting!
Amira is gorgeous! I think I have a dupe already, but still eyeing it…..
I’m not familiar with Colourpop, where is it sold?
I bought mine online – I don’t think they’re available anywhere but their website.
Hopefully they can add UK soon!
Yay!!! I love ColourPop. I’m so happy you’re showing these. They have such awesome colors.
What brushes do you like to use with them?
I have no idea what brand the synthetic brush is. It just says, “lips.” It was probably part of a set at one point, most likely not a terribly expensive one. It’s a flat synthetic brush that is slightly tapered to a point. About 1/3″ across (too big for lips, IMO). I have a similar one from bhcosmetics that works pretty well, too.
I save the cheap sponge tip applicators out of eye shadow compacts, because you never know. Those actually work really well for patting these on if you’re like me and just make a mess applying with fingers.
As far as fluffy brushes, my favorite is BareEscentuals Eye Defining Brush, or similar angled fluffy blending brush.
Sorry to be so vague. I don’t a huge brush collection. Aside from a few bdelliums, a MAC and a Tarte, most of them are pretty inexpensive. I use e.l.f. or BareEscentuals mainly. I’m sure you and a lot of your readers would have much better recommendations.
Nothing wrong with being vague – still helpful to know the kind of materials/sizes
