ColorPop Super Shock Shadow Review

I got this in Bill, which is a purple/mauve sort of color. When I bought this online I thought it'd be quite a big bigger but the pan is actually very shallow despite the deceptively deep packaging.

The texture of this makes me think of those cream to powder blushes which feel bouncy to apply but then dries to a powdery finish. Because of its texture, it's insanely pigmented especially when packed on with my finger. It also glides on very smooth when I use my finger to spread it out. I don't think it works as well with a brush because it sort of squishes around a bit, and has a tendency to stick to the hairs of the brush.

The wear not as long lasting as some of my other shadows, perhaps due to its unique formulation. And I do notice patchiness and creasing after a while even with primer on. But for an everyday lid color this isn't too bad.

I probably won't buy more of these simply because the shipping isn't worth it unless I get a bulk.

I love these shadows! The texture is so unique, kind of moussey and bouncy. I thought these would only work as lid shades but I use my Mac 217 brush to apply Paradox into the crease and it works really well. The shades I have tried are great and I would definitely recommend these.

Having purchased a large amount of these due to the high cost of shipping I had to make my purchase worth it I ended up with 20 of these in various shades as they are very affordable especially if you go into an order with a couple of friends to split the shipping. However the majority of them have sat in their drawer untouched as I wasn't overly impressed or inspired by them.

The colours are pretty and they come in different finishes, with matte, shimmer and even glitter formulas, you would think that a tray of these would make a great eye look without the need for anything else from a palette but I found it hard to find a good base that blended, a crease was also difficult due to the creaminess of their texture you can only apply with your fingertips and when you try to blend with a brush it gets all blotchy or drags up. Great for someone who wants to just dab a colour on the lid add some mascara and get out of the door but for me I like to create depth and dimension to the eye and these shadows just don't allow that.

Also I found that even when you reapply the lid firmly after use that over time the formula seems to naturally dry out with a few of the shadows that I hadn't even used having to be thrown out during a recent declutter due to the fact that they were dry and won't partaking their colour very good anymore.

Alright ladies, so I have a few of these bad boys: SHIMMERS: So Quiche: Greeny-Grey undertone/base with pink shimmer/glitter through Millionaire: Golden undertone/based with pink shimmer/glitter throughout (this colour is deceiving online, it looks like it's one solid colour) Cricket: Cool toned, purple shimmer Telepathy: Super bright, yellow, golden shimmer La La: Rose Gold Shimmer (to die for... my favourite shade!)

MATTE: Central Perk: Cross between Maroon and Ultra Violet Mittens: Rich brown with strong red undertones

PROS: Pigmented, beautiful, incredible range of shades, unique texture... the shimmers are my ultimate favourite, they're so easy to work with, you get amazing colour pay off, they really compliment any makeup look. Not much fall out due to the texture/consistency Super shimmery/glittery. CHEAP but quality!

CONS: No cons really for the shimmery shades... my grieveance is with the matte shades...I'm just not as much of a fan of these. I find them a little more difficult to work with and blend out... like a lot of the colour pop products (aside from lip products) I think these are easiest to work with when using your fingers, they are challenging with a brush.. this is only the matte shades, the shimmers I don't have this problem. The matte shades I also found can dry out easily and crack.

CONCLUSION: Worth the money, the shimmery shades are to die for! I would buy more of them, I'm still willing to work with the mattes because they have such a beautiful colour range and the value and quality for money is fantastic. Side note: Pot's are deceiving and are much shallower then you think!

I love these shadows - not only do they have every other colour you could imagine but they work so well! The pigmentation is incredible and they are so cheap! I do find to get the full colour, it is best to apply with your finger. When using a brush you do have to go over a few times to ensure you get the payoff you want - but they never fail me! And no fallout - bonus!

Who has all the monies and wants to buy them allllll for me?! HANDS UP! Hahaha.

Jokes a side I am in love with these shadows. I tried the the 'Zingra' collection. A set of 2x matte, 1x satin and 1x pearlized.

The pearlized shade quite easily can be used as a highlight. It's silky it's mousse like and it's a beautiful shiny shade.

The mattes and satin are similar in the way they feel. Silky and soft. Almost 'wet' like shadows but not wet at all.

The shadows are a beautiful consistency. Beautiful colour pay off easy to build up and easy to make quite subtle.

They blend beautifully into the lid and don't take much effort to do so. I've used these with both a primer on the lid and not with a primer and they work well with or without one. Longtivity excellent and no creasing.

So many mixed reviews about these shadows, personally I want to own allll of them.

I was dying to try one of these shadows. I brought the shade Lace. Its the most gorgeous metalically purple shade that you could honestly ever ask for!

For $6.50 these are such a deal. The shadow itself is very creamy, easy to blend and apply, excellent quality and very very pigmentated, The only downfall I would say would be the fallout especially with brighter or darker colors. I used Shadow Sheilds with this eyeshadow so it did not make a mess.

Since trying this eyeshadow I have brought tons more of them and they have never failed me

Colour pay off is amazing they are compact and easy to see the colours. Plenty of amazing shades, honestly first shades i pick up

At first I wasn't too sure how much I would like these shadows because I haven't had the best luck with cream or mousse eye shadows but I love these so much, even the matte ones which really worried me, they blend so easily and are super pigmented, they're super affordable (although postage is pretty expensive) The only downside is that since they're a mousse, they need to stay in their sealed packaging so they don't dry out so you can't put them in a palette, so storing them can be a bit of a problem. Other than that I'm obsessed and definitely need more.
