Colour Pop! Initial Reaction


My Colour Pop package arrived today and I am so excited to be sharing them with you! I got six eyeshadows and two lip colors and they are just so beautiful, I just sat there and looked at them for a good five minutes before I even swatched them and *drools* OH MY GOD they are so buttery and beautiful and pigmented and soft and sparkly and beautiful. Here, just look at the pictures below.
 I went with more metallicy colors because that's what I wanted. I got a gold, a bronze, a light gold, a rose gold, silver, and a white.  I love rose gold! If you have any rose gold things you love, comment down below because I would love to try it out!
I ot the lippy sticks in Rocket and Juicy- Rocket is a very neon bright pink and Juicy is a bright pink as well but leans towards the more every day sort of pink shade but is still shockingly bright.
 I can't think of the exact names right now but from left to right is the white, light gold, gold, silver, rose gold, and bronze.   They are so creamy and a dream to swatch.  The texture is very pillowy and soft and definitely something you need to apply with your fingers or a very fluffy brush.
Have you tried Colour Pop? If not, you should because the pricing is amazing- their eyeshadows and lippy sticks are $5 and their blushes are $8 so they are definitely worth checking out and trying :) XOXO

City Color Cosmetics City Chic lipstick Review!

One of the booths I went a little crazy over at IMATS was the City Color Cosmetics booth.  Everything was so fairly priced and the color and product selection was amazing!  I hadn't heard about this cosmetic company  until I saw their booth so, naturally, I was intrigued and my mom and I went to go and investigate.  There we found so many goodies, we almost picked one of everything (don't worry, I said ALMOST).  Me being the lip product junky I am, I immediately gravitated towards the lippy section and boy was I happy with what I found! Lipgloss/lipstick duos, matte lipsticks, regular lipsticks, great lip pencils, and lipglosses- I was practically in heaven.  Below I'll tell you what I got, the retail price of the City Chic lipsticks, and what I think of each product- so let's get started!

 Two of the lipsticks I picked out were from their City Chic collection, which is your typical lipstick but when I wore it I noticed a great moisturizing property about it.  Above is what the packaging looks like; it's a hard, black, plastic case that is square and then a clear acrylic type bottom so you can see what the product looks like which is a major bonus in my book.  I love when companies do something like this because you can store the lipstick upside down and know exactly what the color is that you're looking is without having to take the cap off.  The retail price of each lipstick is $4.99 for each lipstick which is a great price for their quality.
 I, of course, picked a pink and a red but this time the pink was not fuschia or hot pink it's actually a nice baby, tea rose sort of pink- almost nude in a way.  The pink one I got is in P1 'Pinky Promise' and the red I got is in R3 'Lady in Red'.  These lipsticks are super pigmented and they're quite moisturizing.  These lipsticks don't dry out your lips, in fact they do the opposite.
 Just from these swatches you can see how pigmented they are.  I am really really beyond pleased with this product and would love to try more colors of the City Chic lipstick line as well as their other products, with the ones I have being reviewed soon.  Their website is here so go and check them out and get some goodies for yourself.  There are quite a few great items on special right now, so it's an even better time to check them out!
