Shaaanxo X ColourPop Cosmetics Super Shock Eyeshadows
I was SUPER excited to receive these gorgeous eyeshadows from ColourPop in the mail the other day and I couldn't wait to share them with you all!Shannon and ColourPop Cosmetics collaborated to create these four stunning new shades, all created by Shannon herself. At first glance, I did think it was a palette but upon opening the packaging, they are four individual eyeshadows. The colour palette is compiled of two browns, a champagne and a khaki. The shades compliment each other incredibly well and are extremely versatile when it comes to creating different looks with just the four colours. The texture of these shadows is unlike anything I have ever felt before. They are so soft to touch and you can easily make an indent in the surface, they feel softer than butter.First up we have my personal favourite, "XO". XO is a stunning champagne colour with a pearled finish. My Second Favourite colour which actually comes so close we could pretty much call it a tie! is "Selfie". Selfie is a warm-toned peachy brown which has a matte finish, making it the absolute most perfect colour for the crease. I love me a beautiful warm toned soft brown! Next we have "Deluxe". Deluxe is the deeper of the browns which, like XO, has a pearlized finish and is a warm red bronze . And finally we have "Rebel" which is another matte finish in khaki. Let's talk about colour pay off and longevity. I first swatched XO and I looked at my finger and had to take the photo opportunity so that I could show you the pigmentation of just the first, light swirl in the pan of champagne colour.Freaking OUT OF THIS WORLD! Here are the swatches all lined up.As you can see, the colour actually drags a fair way down the width of my arm. Without even trying. I also wanted to show you the swatches from inside my house with artificial light, just so you can see the difference. Personally, you can't beat the natural lighting but thought I would show you anyway.I did want to show you something interesting. Here are the swatches below once I wiped them off with a tissue. I'm not talking about one easy wipe, I'm talking about a bit of a scrubbing action.I honestly couldn't even believe how they didn't come off straight away! I would like to also note that I wore three of the eyeshadows yesterday and they did not budge by 9PM. (I did use an eyeshadow primer BUT STILL!) The below picture is at the end of the day. Sorry for the crapy quality, I just took a screenshot from a Vlog. The picture below this one is from the Get Ready With Me video I filmed earlier in the day. Trying out these eyeshdaows definitely makes me want to purchase more! They are super affordable, only being $5 each and they are amazing quality. What more is there to want in an eyeshadow?
