Colourpop cosmetics super shock eye shadow in Get Lucky and highlighter in Lunch money review

Hello girls, Today I am reviewing two beautiful additions to my makeup stash by Colourpop Cosmetics, I recently bought their super shock eye shadows in shade get lucky and highlighter in shade' lunch money'.
The packaging,
Colourpop super shock eyeshadows have a square cardboard outer packaging which is pretty neat and sleek, the eyeshadows and highlighters come in same packaging,the container is made of very sturdy plastic and has a screw on cap with clear plastic to see the shade from outside,the shadow pot is quite heavy and you might think there is a lot of product in the small round pot,but noops, only the container is made in a heavy style.
colourpop eyeshadow Get Lucky:
It is described as a "liquid-like true gold." It's a medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and a soft, metallic sheen.
This eyeshadow is really like liquid gold,it comes with a pretty design engraved on top,which goes away as soon as you start using the eyeshdow, these eyeshadows are kind of creamy in texture and when you apply on eyes and you have to blend it with your fingers, the color pay off is great and there is no creasing from this eye shadow and you can wear these shadows all day ,the staying power is crazy. The color is so sultry that you can make your eyes look like Amy jackson or aishwarya rai just saying,lol.
The best way to apply these eye shadows is by fingertips or with a flat eye shadow brush to pack on the color on lids,these shadows are creamy and you can't use and blend them like powder shadows.I also found out that these eyeshadows can be used as your eye shadow base, because of their intense color and no creasing or budging formula,you can apply any eyeshadow on top to make it more intense.

Coloupop super shockcheek  in lunch money:
($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is described as a "soft light gold with a reflective golden duo-chrome finish." It's a light, golden beige with a frosted sheen and warm undertones.
The super shock highlighters come in many shades,from light to dark,I picked up lunch money because I really liked it.This highlighter has a different pattern on top of it and the formula is same as eye shadow.It is very creamy and you have to apply it with your finger tips and slightly blend,this highlighter is very subtle and gives a very natural glow to face,there are no glitter specks visible in this highlighter and blendabilty and staying power is great.you don't need to retouch your highlighter because this will stay on for the longest hours.





Overall Ratings:
I didn't find any fault with these because the price,the longevity, these are super blend able and color pay off is above average, the only downside is that the company says that these babies have a shelf life of one year because of formula, and you have to close the lid very tightly to save it from drying.Overall these babies get 4.5/5 from me.

Price and availability:
Colourpop super shock eye shadows retail for 5$ and highlighters are for 8$ ,unfortunately we don't have access to this brand in Pakistan and this brand can be bought from online facebook pages selling international makeup, and expect to pay around 12/13 $ for eyeshadow and 14/15 $ for the highlighters.

best cheap long lasting eyeliner,

elf cream eyeliner

August 08, 2015 Maya 19 Comments


Hi girls, today I am reviewing elf cream eyeliner in black. I am a big fan of elf cosmetics and I love the fact that elf has good quality products at amazingly low prices.Let's see if elf eyeliner impressed me or not.


The packaging:
elf cream eyeliner comes in a small box  which holds the usual transparent square eyeliner pot,it comes with a small angled brush. I really like the basic packaging and matte black cap of the eyeliner jar,its really small and closes safely so taking it in your bag is a safe bet.



What the product says:
The cream formula creates smooth lines that are defined and precise. Smudge-proof, budge-proof and water-resistant coverage for all day wear to combat against sweat, tears or rain! Achieve thin or bold lines with ease. Slanted Eyeliner Brush included.




My views:
elf cream eyeliner is really black and creamy in formula.I am so pleased that it is super black and very matte ,it glides on eyes so smoothly with an eyeliner or angled brush.when you apply it,its really silky but quickly dries into a matte finish and then it cannot be smudged or moved. this eyeliner has great staying power and it stays put for 5 to 6 hours with no smudge or budge. The angled brush which comes with it, is useful only for a few uses and then its really useless.I have been using elf cream eyeliner for the past 5 months now and its still all right in texture, I was fearing the same fate for it what usually happens with my gel liners (all dried or flaky),but this baby is still creamy and fresh after 5 plus months.


Pros:

  • super black color
  • very creamy
  • applies effortlessly
  • doesn't smudge
  • stays put for hours
  • shelf life is great


Cons:

  • its brush is useless
  • not easily available in Pakistan





Price and availability:
elf cream eyeliner price is 3$ and it can be purchased through online facebook sellers in 650-700 rupees.
My Rating:
4.5/5

Thanks for reading.
