ColourPop Eyeshadow Review: Party Favors and Cakewalk

Ok you folks, ColourPop was having some sort of sale on these pressed shadows for $4 instead of $5 and since I was ordering stuff anyhow, I figured I'd give these a try.
AvailabilityThese have both been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? I think so.
NotesSo far so good, these perform like a nice powder shadow - they're pigmented and are easy to blend.
Party Favors is described as a vibrant duochrome peach with a gold flip. I'd say it's pretty close to its description, the base is a very warm, orange peach with an intense golden pearl running through it. 
Cakewalk is described as a duochrome lavender with a turquoise flip. Although it's a pain in the butt to photograph this color is mermaid magic and is very true to its description. I love it so much; it's so unique. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

DisclaimerI paid for these myself.

Highlighter Review: ColourPop Flexitarian Super Shock Cheek

BEHOLD the ColourPop Super Shock Cheek in Flexitarian
AvailabilityThis retails at $8 for 4.2g (.15 oz) and is currently exclusive to just colourpop.com. 
Would I buy this again? Perhaps.
NotesThis color is described as an intense white champagne. I would describe this as a champagne base with loads of silver micro-glitter, it's super shiny compared to the other Super Shock Cheek products I own. The texture is so weird... it feels squishy and foam-like. I kind of dig it. It's very smooth creamy, and silky which makes it super easy to apply and blend. It has a lovely high-shine finish to it that I dig from my highlighters. Just as a pointer in using this, I think it works best over, rather than under, setting powder. You could wear it either way but if you want that beautiful glow, put it on top.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
