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

-
Image
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 der...

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...

My Thoughts on the Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

-
Image
credit :  twitter.com/gigihadid Gigi Hadid has been the face of Maybelline for about 2 years and has been apart of several campaigns for the brand. I was really excited when I initially heard that Gigi and Maybelline collaborated on a full collection. I assumed that I would be able to recreate Gigi's makeup looks for less, but that just isn't the case. Today, I'm going to be giving my opinions on this collection to help you further determine if you should spend your money on it. The biggest gripe I have with this collection is that it is far too overpriced for Maybelline products. I have been noticing that some drugstore brands have been increasing the price of their new products, but I don't understand why since many times the brands aren't doing anything different to justify the large increase in the price. Maybelline does make some of my favorite products, especially when it comes to concealer and mascara, but they have also made really poor quality ...

Maybelline Fit Me Dewy & Smooth: Review

-
Image
⋆I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. As always, all opinions are my own.⋆ I have no prior experience trying either primer or foundation, so I really have nothing to compare these products to. In my makeup routine I only ever used concealer, which I mentioned in my previous review of the Colourpop No Filter Concealer . I was very excited to receive the Maybelline Master Prime Hydrate + Smooth Primer, as well as the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation courtesy of Influenster !  Master Prime Hydrate + Smooth Primer As I previously mentioned, I have never tried any primers at all, because I always just had the feeling that it was gimmicky and doesn't really do anything to prolong your makeup.  I have tested this primer out several times and I don't really think it does anything for my skin besides add an unnecessary extra layer of product. I have not experienced this clogging my pores, giving...

fruitcake by Sabrina Carpenter // green vinyl + EP review

-
Image
Sabrina Carpenter 's  Fruitcake is equal parts naughty and nice - two traits that she has always embodied so well in her music. Every single song on this EP is so much fun to listen to, I absolutely love it. It has been so long since there was a really great original holiday album like this, I can truly see so many of these songs becoming annual Christmas classics.  This EP is full of glittering and cheeky holiday anthems that fit really well into the rest of Sabrina's discography. It is especially akin to emails i can't send and Short n' Sweet , which are her two best albums. So much of her personality and charm is all over this music much in the same way as those two albums. Fruitcake features six songs, five of them are original holiday tracks that she wrote with her frequent collaborators; John Ryan, Steph Jones, Amy Allen , and Julien Bunetta. The closing song on the EP is called "white xmas", a beautiful rendition of the holiday classic which also inte...
