Product 411 -- ColourPop Fall 2015 Collection

I'm a fan of nearly everything that ColourPop does, so whenever they put a new collection, I'm all over it.

Especially when it's a fall collection with lots of shades that I dig -- and as an added bonus, it's 90s themed. I grew up in the 90s so the nostalgia factor definitely helps.

I made my purchases from the collection of single products -- I haven't picked up either of the sets ... yet. I'm trying to be strong because so many brands launching their holiday collections these days and I only want to buy things that I really want. Still, both the shadow and lippie sets are calling my name so who knows how long I'll hold out? -- which contains Super Shock Shadows, Super Shock Cheek Blushes, Lippie Stix, and Lippie Pencils.


I purchased six of the shadows from the collection (they are 10 in total): Supermodel, a golden beige (pearlized finish), Boy Band, bronze-y copper (pearlized finish), Mixed Tape, a mid-tone gray with purple undertones (pearlized finish), Party Time, a dark purple-y gray (matte finish), Plaid, a blackened forest green (matte finish -- though FYI, there seems to be some gold shimmer), Stereo, a blackened burgundy with pink and violet duochrome (metallic finish), and Central Perk, a dirty maroon (matte finish).

From l. to r.: Supermodel, Mixed Tape, Boy Band, Party Time

I love all of the shades, but the standouts for me are Boy Band, Mixed Tape, and Stereo. I also like Central Perk quite a bit, but it is a little bit harder to work with than some of ColourPop's other matte shadows.

I picked up both of the blushes from the collection: Never Been Kissed, a rosy coral (matte finish), and Cruel Intentions, a rosy berry (matte finish).

From l. to r.: Never Been Kissed & Cruel Intentions

Both are very pretty, but Cruel Intentions is my personal favorite (and seems to fit a fall color scheme a little better).

There are six pairs of coordinating Lippie Stix and Lippie Pencils in the collection. I picked up two of the Lippie Stix/Pencil duos in Oh Snap, a dirty nude pink (matte), and Contempo, a deep dusty rose (matte). I also purchased the Lippie Stix in Grunge, a plummy brown (matte).

ColourPop Fall 2015 Lippie Stix and Lippe Pencils

From l. to r.: Contempo Lip Pencil, Contempo Lippie Stix, Oh Snap Lip Pencil, On Snap Lippie Stix, Grunge Lippie Stix

From l. to r.: Contempo Lip Pencil, Contempo Lippie Stix, Oh Snap Lip Pencil, On Snap Lippie Stix, Grunge Lippie Stix

Oh Snap and Contempo are both nice wearable, everyday shades that would work with most skin tones, I think. Oh Snap is a nice nude shade because it's got enough color that it doesn't wash out even fair skin.

Grunge is a little trickier for me to wear with my pale skin -- it's more of a dramatic look -- but it's such a cool color -- and a wearable brown shade for most people because there's a enough plum and maybe even some rosiness to make it flattering.

All of the shadows, lippie stix, and lip pencils are $5 each. The blushes are $8. You can purchase everything at ColourPop's website.
