ColourPop Lippie Stix Review: Topanga, Toucan, and Ellarie

Ok you folks, ColourPop is something I've been meaning to check out for a while but when I say I went in... I went IN! Like... so excite to own all these beauties and play with them!

AvailabilityThese retail at $7 for 2.1g (0.07 oz) and are currently exclusive to colourpop.com.
Would I buy this again? I can't say for sure yet.
NotesThe texture on each Lippie Stix varies and I'll discuss that as I touch upon each particular one. I haven't done a multi-lipstick blog in a while so this'll be fun but also... I remembered why I try not to - swatching that many colors on my lips makes my lips hurt. :I Other than that, all of them have a slight vanilla scent.




Topanga is described as a mid-tone dusty coral with a satin finish. On me it's this beautiful warm pink. This goes on really nicely and I like it - it's a good goes-with-everything color.
Toucan is described as a bright pinky red coral with a matte finish. On me it's a bright pink-red that looks more strawberry than it does coral  - I LOVE the color.
Ellarie is described as a deep sultry cranberry in a matte finish. This is a GORGEOUS color that's true to its description and has a finish that, while matte, goes on really smoothly. I was expecting it to be much darker and was like "what possessed me to get this? Did I get it for someone else?" but when I swatched it... LOVE! 

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

ColourPop Eyeshadow Review: Lovely, I Heart This, Bae, Erotic, Coconut, Too Shy

Ok you folks, ColourPop is something I've been meaning to check out for a while but when I say I went in... I went IN! Like... so excite to own all these beauties and play with them!

AvailabilityThese retail at $6 for 2.1g (0.07 oz) and are currently exclusive to colourpop.com.
Would I buy this again? Depending on the shade, yes.
NotesThese have the oddest texture, they're squishy and soft and gelatinous but dry to a powdery finish.

Lovely is described as a soft gold with flecks of multi-dimensional glitter. This is like a liquid metal, it's a soft white gold with loads of white-gold and pink micro-glitter. 
I Heart This is described as a silvery taupe with multi-colored glitter. This is a silvery ever-so-slightly rosy taupe with pink, silver, and white glitter. 

Bae is described as a rich eggplant purple with an emerald, and turquoise, duo-chrome metallic finish. This is a gorgeous eggplant purple with pink and turquoise micro-glitter. I wish it had more glitter throughout but other than that I think it's beautiful. 




Erotic is described as super neon candy apple red with sparkling pink and copper glitter. O.M.F.G!!!! I needed this. Photos don't do justice to its neon goodness, it's like... fireworks... a gorgeous orange-red with these orange-red glitters to it... it is erotic... I'm turned on... :P




Coconut is described as a bright peacock teal in a pearlized finish. Oh coconut, darling sweet gorgeous coconut, the color of the sea at night... in its depths... the color of my mermaid home. I obviously needed it.
Too Shy is described as a electric neon cobalt blue  packed with violet, aqua, silver glitter with a magenta flash.  The magenta in this is more present in daylight/sunlight situations. In artificial light it looks like a mid-tone smoky blue with loads of blue micro-shimmer.
