Colourpop DREAMERY Super Shock Shadow Vault

I already own six super shock shadows and I thought I would add to my collection. I have been into more sort of natural make-up lately. I just use my bronzer as my transition/crease shade and then use a shimmer or highlighter shade all over the lid. I have mostly been using face highlighters for the shimmer topper, so I thought I would buy more super shock shades so I can actually start using an eyeshadow. I needed different colour options to the six I already own. These shadows are not full pigment as such, but they are full shine and I thought this set would be perfect as it comes with several shades.

This particular set is no longer available, but a lot of the shades are still available as singles so I thought I would still share my thoughts with you.

MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The packaging is very compact and simple. I’m still not overly 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 like how reflective the shades are. The texture doesn’t feel particularly creamy. 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 also find that they do crease quite easily. I am still enjoying these eyeshadows, but the lack of opaqueness still bothers me and the fact that the Ultra-Glitter shades are actually not that glittery! I still prefer regular molten metallic powder eyeshadows that many other brands offer. My favourite shades from this set are Moonwalk, Solitaire and Cattitude.
