12 Days of Favorites! Day 8: Eyeshadow

0 Comments
Today is all about the eyes! Eyeshadow to be more precise.
Fun fact: when I first started using makeup, I avoided eyeshadow like the plague. I didn't know how to use it or blend it and putting colors on my eyes seemed weird. To be honest I wasn't all that into makeup in the first place but I attribute all of that to my lack of knowledge and skill.
Fast forward five years later and I'm getting there but I'm definitely still learning.
You may be able to guess what today has in store. I've mentioned enough of their products on my blog already....
Did you guess?
IT'S COLOURPOP!
All of their eye shadow formula's are spectacular! I've been using their super shock shadows for YEARS! I've been thoroughly impressed with their pressed powder formula that debuted this year!
The newest pressed powder eye shadow palette is Dream Street. I'm OBSESSED with these colors! I have yet to break into this bad boy, but this is definitely going to be my go to for New Years Eve and maybe even Christmas festivities this weekend!
I have most of the eyeshadow palettes that have been released (the only ones I don't have are the My Little Pony collaboration and the Double Entendre palette). Honestly, I have ZERO guilt or reluctance about purchasing these palettes and even individual shades! This is by far my favorite pressed powder formula! I have NEVER been able to blend out and eye look so easily! And they don't blend away into nothing either.
If you told me I could only purchase eye shadows from one brand ever again, I would pick Colourpop. Hands down. No contest. Their palettes do vary in price (some have more shades, one palette has a mirror), but they range between $16-$20. I will pay full price every time. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend trying these shadows out. They are beyond INCREDIBLE!
Not only do I love the pressed powder formula Colourpop has for eyeshadows, but I ADORE their Super Shock Shadows! I use these daily. I generally get to work around 6:30-6:45 in the morning. In the off chance I actually manage to crawl my way out of bed in time, I don't have a lot of time to fuss with a full eye look. My go to eye look is to grab a transition shade and throw it in my crease, grab a slightly darker shade and more precisely detail my crease, and then I just take a Super Shock Shadow with my finger, pop it on my lid, blend the edges quickly and BOOM eye look complete!
My most reached for Super Shock Shadows are Prickly Pear (bottom right) and Cricket (top left - it's not nearly this dark on the eye). I also was LOVING Arrow (top right) and Lightning Bug (bottom left) for fall this year!
I'm not kidding when I say you HAVE to give these shadows a shot! They also have recently released a new Super Nova liquid eye shadow formula and let me tell you holy smokes these are INCREDIBLE! They are very very similar to the Stila Glitter and Glow liquid shadows.
