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.

KALEIDOS Futurism VI: Lunar Lavender Palette

This is my second KALEIDOS palette and I bought it from the same Depop seller as last time. I also purchased the Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green and Futurism VII: Sashimi City Palettes, reviews on those will be coming soon. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a long thin rectangle shape and the concept reminds me of a wardrobe. There is a purple, pink and rose gold coral (the reef kind) and cloud theme all over the packaging. It has a magnetic closing and you open up the left side first and then the right side to reveal the circular eyeshadow pans and long thin mirror inside. The outside theme continues to the inside, but the colours are lilac, pink, peach and orange with rose gold. The eyeshadow names come printed on a plastic sheet. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 1.33g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M), Duo-Chrome (DC) and Shimmer (S) finishes.   ·          Rich and Velvety Texture ·          Smo...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics X Shane Dawson Conspiracy Palette

I managed to get my hands on the new JSC x Shane Dawson palette on launch day! It took a few hours to complete the purchase online, but I didn’t give up. I have been following the journey of the creation of the whole collection on YouTube and everything is eye catching. I decided to only pick up the main palette this time; I usually buy at least one liquid lipstick from every JSC collection launch. Also available from the collection was the Mini Controversy Palette. I really love the shades Controversy and My Apology from the palette, but I knew I wouldn’t get much use out of the other shades, which is why I decided against purchasing it. There are also six velour liquid lipsticks (none of the shades appealed to me), pig mirrors, make-up bags/cases, clear version of the gloss and a lip balm. I believe the lip balm is only available in the USA. You can buy the products in bundles or buy the items separately. The packaging of the Conspiracy Palette slightly resembles the cas...
