Colour Pop Haul and Swatches






Happy Monday to all!
I hope y'all have had an awesome weekend, and that your Monday has been filled with coffee, and good vibes. I bring to you today a pretty big Colour Pop haul.
All of this is from their newly released summer collection. Now I have bought a few things from Colour Pop in the past and I love everything I have from them. I think that for the price point, the products are absolutely amazeballs! I am obsessed, and I cannot wait to get more. If y'all would like I could do a whole Colour Pop collection post or video? Just let me know. 
But anyways, lets get on to the products that I got in this haul. (Be warned this is going to be picture heavy)

***All products bought with my own money, and all opinions are my own***

So first up lets go over the new bronzers that Colour Pop came out with.


(L-R: Skinny Dip, Bon Voyage)

(L-R: Skinny Dip, Bon Voyage)


Both Skinny Dip, and Bon Voyage are matte bronzers. They are both super soft, and with Colour Pop's signature texture. Skinny dip is a neutral bronzer with just a hint of warmth to it, but it isn't orangey like some bronzers can be, it is just a touch more golden than Bon Voyage is. Bon Voyage is a very soft and subtle cool toned bronzer, super great for super pale skin gals like me! I can see myself using Bon Voyage all year long, but especially in the winter, and Skinny Dip more so in the summer, or when I want to add just that touch of warmth to my skin without looking like an oompa loompa.



Next is the three single eyeshadows I got.

(L-R: Coconut, Shark Attack, Flipper)

So I only got three of the single eye shadows available, these are the three that stood out to me the most out off all that they had with this summer collection.
First up is Coconut, it is a gorgeous deep ocean blue with just a tint of green to it, along with some brighter blue sheen/glitter to it. Shark Attack is the most unique out of all three that I got to me, it is a bronzey, coppery, coral. It is gorgeous and I cannot wait to use it on my lid with some warm browns in the crease, or for a spotlight smokey eye. YAAAAZZ! Flipper, is a pale tangerine with silver and turquoise glitter to it. It is gorgeous as eff and my pictures do not do these any justice.

Next up is lipsticks! 
I ended up getting one single lipstick and then their Sundays In Silverlake lipstick set.

Cougar, Pasties


Chella, Parker


Thirsty, Ace


Yes I know that those are a lot of lipsticks, but what can I say? I'm addicted. Lol.

Topanga: So firstly can we talk about the name? One of the main reasons why I got it. Lol. Any other ninety's kids thinking the same thing? I always wanted to be her, and have her relationship with Cory. Haha! In all honesty, this is one of the colors I was most iffy on, I didn't know if I would really like it or not...but I really do! It is a gorgeous warm, but deep coral. I am in love with it and can see it getting a lot of use this summer. I may even need to get a back up of it. Topanga approves!

Cougar: This color is a bright but deep pink with a touch of red. It reminds me of strawberries in a way for some reason. Gorgeous color either way. 

Pasties: I must say that upon reading the name of this lipstick I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe. I love Colour Pop and some of their risque names. This is a gorgeous magenta color. Just perfect, and being in a Hyper Glossy finish, makes your lips look SO juicy.

Chella: This color is one of my favorites, it is the perfect medium toned coral color. It does lean a little more on the peach side but that is perfectly okay to me. I know I will wear this a lot this summer.

Parker: This is a gorgeous warm nude. Not a whole lot I can say about this one, but it is really pretty. Just deep enough that I think I can pull it off. 

Thirsty: This is a gorgeous berry color with a hint of mauve to it. I love that this isn't to light or dark, it is just right. This is one of my favorite go to kinds of colors. 

Ace: This color really surprised me, it is a gorgeous peachy pink. Its so so pretty! I didn't think I would like it as much as I do. 




Whew! That was a really long post! If you have made it to the end here I congratulate you! And thank you for reading all my blabbering! 
I love all that I ordered from Colour Pop. But then again I am never disappointed with them. 
Are there any products here, or that I didn't get that you are lusting after and want to get?
Also, if y'all have any suggestions for posts and/or videos y'all would like to see from me, just let me know in the comments! I appreciate it!

Till the next time, have fun, be you.

BOO!

Well hello there!
Long time no see...or well read huh? I am still alive and kicking. And I will try and keep this post short..Hah!
So, I am finally going to try and resurrect this here blog of mine, as well as my YouTube channel. I first started doing my thang here many years ago, but then life hit me with a brick over my head (not literally) like it tends to do quite a bit it seems. But I finally now feel like I am in a place where I can start to get back into this, things have leveled out some, and in all honesty, I miss doing this. I miss doing what I love to do, and what I am passionate about. I've felt for a long time now that I am missing a part of me. So its time to stick my own foot up my own ass and get back into this. 
Now I cannot say how often I will post, or if it will be completely consistent yet, as I am still getting my shit together...but I am going to try this whole thing again. But here comes where I need y'alls help. What would you like to see? Both here on the blog as well as in videos? Whether it be tutorials, tags, color combinations, I don't care, I just need some ideas. I appreciate all the help y'all give.
 Also to those who have stuck with me through all this, I want to say a big THANK YOU. It means a lot to me. 

Until next time, 
Tricia
