Today I bring to you the ColourPop Smoke N' roses Pressed Powder Palette.
Availability: This is exclusive to colourpop.com where it retails at $34 for 30 eyeshadows.
Would I buy this again? Yes!
Notes: Ok y'all I haven't really bought many palettes this year and caved when I saw this - I still blame my best friend for getting me into pinks and reds but what I love about this palette is the variety it offers from creating very soft, neutral looks to more intense colorful, and smoky looks. I'm also personally really blown away by the shadow textures here as they all feel super velvety when I swatch them and have lovely pigmentation.
