Colourpop unboxing
Wednesday, November 09, 2016
Hey guys!! Today's post is a little bit different than my usual posts. It's a makeup haul/colourpop unboxing. So a few weeks ago Colourpop was offering as a pre Xmas promo free shipping if you spent 50$ or more & 9.99$ flat rate shipping if you spent up to 49$. In case you are not familiar with purchasing make up from the US, usually the shipping costs are super expensive, so what i always do is wait for companies to offers special deals & promos such as free shipping. That would save me a couple euros! In addition to that awesome deal, you could get a free highlighter if you spent 20$ or more (the more $ you spent, the more highlighters you could get for free!! isn't that awesome?). So i thought it was the perfect time for me to order a few things that i've been dying to try.
The first thing i got was one of their Ultra Matte Lips in the shade Lumiere 2 , which is one of the brand's collabs with the famousYouTuber KathleenLights. Lumiere 2 is a dark muted mauve shade that lasts very long on the lips. I wore it for 8 hours and i found it surprisingly comfortable. It wore well through a heavy meal and i didn't notice any bleading, just a little fading away at the inner part of my lips. Overall i think i found my new favourite liquid lipstick. I also picked up another Ultra Matte Lip in the shade Kapow, which is a beautiful muted grey taupe colour, perfect for this time of year.

Since fall has been coming on strong, i've been into the hunt for some deep burgundy, blackberry & orange shades for quite some time. I'm currently contemplating on buying the ABH Modern Rainassance Palette but since it's quite expensive i decided to order a few of Colourpop's Super Shock Eyeshadows since their range is quite impressive and their prices are super reasonable. The colour that appealed to me the most were Beverly which was in collaboration with Karrueche Tran and unfortunately is no longer available & Paradox. Beverly is a somewhat blackberry shade with light red undertones that almost looks mauve when the light hits it & Paradox is a cool-toned burgundy with a satin finish that shows up really well on the eyes.
Of course no colourpop purchase would be complete without some highlighters! I was able to take advantadge of their offer at the time and get one for free and i'm super excited about my picks! Lunch money is a soft gold highlighter with a reflective golden duo chrome finish and it is perfect for lighter skin tones. This particular one has been on my wishlist for a while & i am very satisfied with the way it performs on my skin. Smokin' whistles is a a pink champagne color with silver specks and it is a very unique highlighter in my opinion.
