Half of the time I spend on the computer is dedicated to looking up cosmetic reviews and watching the beauty bloggers on Youtube rave about their most favorite products as well as their most hated. What I have realized after all these hours spent researching, is that most of the vloggers find the best cosmetics online (if they aren’t using Sephora or MAC, of course). If you don’t already know, there are HUNDREDS of online companies selling their own types of cosmetics, whether they are known for their wicked pigments or their awesome, no animal cruelty cosmetics. One online cosmetic shop I just recently decided I had to try out is “Colour Pop Cosmetics”. I (of course) watched my fair share of Youtube reviews and found that Colour Pop seems to be a favorite amongst a lot of the beauty bloggers. After scrolling through their site and dabbling through all my choices, I decided to try out their under eye high lighter, as well as a shimmery monochrome eyeshadow that one certain beauty blogger was RAVING about.
Let’s start with the highlighter. I purchased the tanner shade, because I have been tanning and may I add- I am the tannest I have EVER been! I may have been too cocky, though. After receiving the high lighter, I realized that it was much darker than it was displayed online. Once I put it under my eyes, the shimmer was WONDERFUL – don’t get me wrong, but it was a tad too dark for my liking. The shimmer was beautiful and the pigment was strong, just wished I would have purchased a shade lower. I think I would have enjoyed it much better.
Now onto the eye-shadow- I absolutely love it! I was extremely impressed with how well it blended and how smoothly it applied onto the lid. However, I did notice as soon as I applied it that the color looked a little greener than the monochrome brown-pink it had looked online. All in all, I would advise anyone to try out this eyeshadow! You could do multiple of looks with just this one shade, and that is what is so awesome about it! I did a subtle smokey eye and absolutely loved it!
PS- I am also a sucker for deals and when you sign up for Colour Pop’s e-mail, you receive $5 off any purchase! For the price of these two products, I am WOW-ed at the results!
