Colourpop Spring Haul! New Super Shock Shades + Blushes

Hey everyone! I'm back and I have another haul for you guys to check out. A week or so ago I made another Colourpop order since I really like their products, only this time I wanted to try some of the new spring releases. I ended up getting some new super shock shadows, including some of the fun spring pastel shades, a few of the new blushes and two Lippie Stix. 

Colourpop has exploded the last year or so and it is one of the more affordable brands out there with good quality products. Their products are some of my favorites. The shadows are so pigmented and a little goes a long way. And for $5 a pop, I couldn't resist getting more! I ordered six new shades total, including four of the new pastel shades. 

The first two I added to my cart were Acorn and Downtown. Downtown is just a dark chocolate matte brown, but I thought it'd be nice to deepen the crease or as a liner but I was a little disappointed with Acorn. I was expecting a light beige with silver shimmers like it's described on the website, but it's more of a silver with a pinkish undertone. Still very pretty, just not what I was expecting. 

I wanted to try a few of the new pastel shades so I got Cowboy, In A pickle, Flux and Beauty Call. They are all matte and super pigmented, like most of the other Super Shock shadows. Beauty  Call was a little deeper blue than the light pastel blue that I was expecting, but it swatches beautifully and blends out really smooth, which can be tricky with blue eyeshadow. In A Pickle was also a little darker and a little more orange than advertised online too, but I still really like them. Cowboy and Flux are exactly what I wanted though. Flux is the prettiest mint green and I'm already obsessed with lilac so Cowboy is right up my alley. They are slightly powdery, but matte pastel shades can be like that. 

The Super Shock Blushes came out a month or two ago and I've been dying to try them, I just haven't gotten around to ordering any until now. They are packaged the same as the shadows only bigger and they are $8 a piece. The formula is the same as the shadows too, so application was a little tricky for me at first since they can be a bit difficult to apply with certain blushes. First I tried a dense fluffy powder blush, and that seemed to give a nice subtle glow, just a light wash of color, which is what I usually go for with blush. For a more prominent flush, I found that first dabbing the blush on with my fingers then softening it with a stippling brush worked best. I ordered three blushes (for now!). 

The first shade, Between The Sheets, immediately caught my eye since it is similar to Nars Sin, my favorite blush. It's matte and a deeper brown based berry shade. Next up is Tickery which is a totally fitting name. On the website it looks like a soft pastel peach, it's even described as such, so I was a little disappointed to have it arrive and see that it's a pretty dark orange shade. It does blend out much softer than in the pan though which is a relief. Finally I bought Bonus. This one is pretty true to what I saw online so I'm happy with that. It's a really pretty rusty color and it gives a healthy glowing flush without looking too orange or too severe. 

Finally I bought two Lippie Stix shades, Julep and Tootsi. I originally wanted Westie, Monkey and Pepper with the other two I bought, but they were mysteriously missing from my cart every time I went to check out and enter my payment information. Maybe next time... 

I do like the two that I bought however. Julep is a pretty bright coral shade that reminds me of hibiscus flowers so definitely perfect for spring and summer. It's a creamy formula but it didn't feather or slip around on my lips, which is a huge lipstick turn off for me. I was on the fence about Tootsi, but I'm glad I decided to get it. It is literally the perfect brown lipstick for me, which if you're a pale gal like me, you know how hard it is to find a good brown lipstick. It's a cooler light brown with a very subtle hint of mauve and so so pretty! Plus I love how it's matte but doesn't dry the lips out or drag too much. However, these lipsticks really don't last long, especially if you plan on eating, but the price is hard to beat. 

Well that does it for this haul! I'm already planning my next order since I love Colourpip products so much! Have you guys ordered anything new from Colourpop lately? And who else is DYING for those new highlighters to come out?!

Have an amazing day everyone!
