Colourpop "Yes, Please!" Palette: Review

-






Colourpop has constantly been coming out with new products this summer and I was so excited when they announced they would be coming out with the brand's first 12-pan pressed powder eyeshadow palette. It may seem that the beauty market is oversaturated with warm toned shadows, from the Anastasia Beverly Hills "Modern Renaissance" to the new Urban Decay "Naked Heat" palettes, however there aren't many options for those not willing to spend $50 on just one eyeshadow palette. 

"Yes, Please!" retails for $16, which makes each shadow roughly cost $1.30 each. This is a great deal for eyeshadows that have the same quality, or even better, of high-end brands. Colourpop released single-pan pressed eyeshadows a few months ago, which retail for $5 each but have more product in it at 1.5g compared to the 12-pan size of .85g. 

All of the shades are very pigmented and blendable with vibrant color payoff. 8 of the shadows are a matte finish and 4 are shimmer/metallic finish. All of the shades are consistent in pigmentation and are very creamy with little to no fallout. With this shade selection you are able to create a wide assortment of different warm toned eye looks without using any other palettes. All of the shades are exclusive and brand new, meaning they are not sold separately in single pans. 
Names & Descriptions of each shade according to Colourpop.com:
Full-Zip: matte warm ivory
Big Cocktails: matte orange
Champs: matte pale peachy nude
Bling: metallic rust
Louie: metallic duochrome red with a gold flip
Butter Cake: metallic pale yellow gold
Spoiled: matte brick red
GNO: matte burnt orange
Mischief: matte warm yellow
Note to Self: matte warm caramel
Chauffeur: metallic duochrome bright orange with a gold flip
French Kiss: matte deep red brown
The shadows last most of the day on bare lids, but can sometimes crease after a few hours. I found that layering the powder on top of one of Colourpop's Super Shock Shadow's called "Brady" makes a nice base for all of the colors and makes it last all day. "Brady" is described as a "soft matte dusty rose" in the description on their website. If you don't prefer to use powder eyeshadows, I definitely recommend trying the Super Shock Shadows, as they last all day and look beautiful all over the lid. 


The front of the palette says "CUTE AF" with the Colourpop logo under in a bright yellow font



The back of the palette has all of the shade names in circles to represent the corresponding shadows inside

The "Yes, Please!" palette first went on sale at the end of June along with the release of Colourpop's first ever pressed powder highlighting palette called "Gimmie More!". I was on the website the second it went on sale that morning, but it was already sold out before I could even enter the credit card information! Thankfully I was able to get it on the next restock a few weeks later, but even then it sold out in 10 minutes! They have done more restocks since then, so check their website and twitter account for updates.

I have heard many comparisons of this palette to the Natasha Denona "Sunset Eyeshadow Palette" which is sold at Sephora for a whopping $129. I have never seen the Natasha Denona version in person, but from the many comparison videos I have seen in recent weeks to these two products, many beauty influencers believe that "Yes, Please!" is very similar not only shade wise but also in quality to the Natasha Denona "Sunset Eyeshadow Palette".

Colourpop has had many new releases this summer alone with brand new products, from concealer, nail polish, lip balms, setting sprays, brushes, and  more pressed powder palettes, all of which I'm excited to try out sometime soon!

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally derived. The c

Billie Eilish live in New York City! // HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: The Tour Madison Square Garden Night 2

Seeing Billie Eilish perform live for the first time on the second night of her HIT ME HARD AND SOFT Tour in New York City was such an unforgettable experience! I have been lucky enough to have seen so many of my favorite artists live over the years, but this was truly the greatest show I have ever been to. Billie is a once in a lifetime talent and it was so surreal to get to see her on this incredible tour.  Hearing Billie's music for the first time in 2017, right when her first EP  don't smile at me  was released, was one of the most formative musical experiences of my life. All of her music has come to mean so much to me during that time and has been such a massive source of inspiration for me throughout those past seven years. She is truly the voice of our generation, and it is such an honor to be able to witness her talents in person for the first time. She has the most gorgeous live vocals and is such a captivating performer. The entire setlist was so perfect, in addi

BILLIE EILISH HAPPIER THAN EVER // ALBUM REVIEW

-
Image
Billie Eilish's sophomore release is finally here and I'm happier than ever about it! In some ways, the album is quite a departure from her debut, but in the best way possible. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?  set the stage for what this decade in music is going to be because it was truly unlike any other modern release in recent memory, one whose success and impact will likely never be fully replicated again. She has never tried to be anyone other than herself, which makes her journey of monumental success at such a young age so much more inspiring.  With that being said, the idea of a follow-up release must have come with a lot of pressure to make something just as good, if not better, than the last one. Happier Than Ever is a chronicle of the events that followed her meteoric rise to fame since 2019, from her perspective. There has always been so much talk in the media about the way she dresses, her body, her relationships, whether or not she "deserves" a

Four by One Direction // 10 Year Anniversary Album Review

-
Image
Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes? One Direction 's fourth album, aptly titled Four , marked significant beginnings and ends for the band. In many ways it marked a new era for all five of them, as they were able to have significantly more creative freedom with the overall creation of these songs. In turn, that elevated the band's sound to something much closer to their own personal influences and life experiences.  It is the best album they made as a band, between the release of  Midnight Memories  in 2013 and  Four  in 2014, they showed such a huge leap in personal growth and were fully solidified as some of the greatest pop stars of all time. There was no one bigger than One Direction at that point in time, they fully dominated music for the five short years they were together and continue to make a lasting impact on the industry. There was nothing like it before and there will never be anything like it again. Four features quite a few of the best

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-
Image
For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again
