Colourpop Super Shock Shadow Duos

I have previously owned two Colourpop Super Shock Shadows (Sequin and Weenie) a few years ago and I remember not really liking them (I decluttered them in 2017). It was probably the shades I chose, but I don’t know if the formula has changed at all over the years. I decided to purchase two duos from two different collections and I received a third duo as a free gift. I know people tend to use the metallic and glitter ones as sort of toppers, so I decided to choose lighter shades so that they would pop more on the eyelids and inner corners.

MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The shades I chose are very pretty and the packaging is very compact and simple. I’m not keen on how the eyeshadow pans are stuck into the pots as when you rub your finger into the eyeshadow to pick up pigment, the pan moves around and feels like it might come loose. I do really like the shades and I love how reflective they are. The texture doesn’t feel particularly creamy and they don’t really have any base pigment to them, which is a little annoying, but I believe that is how they are mean’t to be. The finish of them just looks like powder eyeshadow. You do have to layer them quite a bit to get a good coating on your eye lids and I find they apply better with your finger rather than a brush. I didn’t find that a damp brush helped at all, but glitter glue did help to hold the sparkle on your eye lids. I am really enjoying these eyeshadows at the moment and I would consider purchasing more, but I really shouldn’t as I still prefer regular molten metallic powder eyeshadows that many other brands offer. I think my favourite shade out of the six is Koosh.
