I won a giveaway! 😀 Back in late March, I learned that I had won some ColourPop Pressed Shadows from Jess of xxoJess, and here they are:
• Know The Drill (metallic bronze)
• Silver Lining (matte dusty purple)
• Cute Alert (matte deep burgundy)
• Lost and Found (matte sky blue)
• ColourPop Empty Eyeshadow Palette (hold 4 pans)
I’m so thrilled to get my hands on these. Do you remember when I wrote about wanting to try them in my Megapost on customerizable palettes? Now I got my grubby hands on them! 😀
Here’s a bit of an unboxing:
Check out Jess’ post showing swatches of 27 of the Pressed Shadows from ColourPop! I’ve created a wish list based on her swatches which includes High Strung, Come & Get It, Take The Lead, and Made to Last. 😛
And Jess was so sweet to include 2 additional items, after I oogled over them on her blog:
• Essence Satin Touch Blushes in 10 Satin Coral (left) and 20 Satin Love (right)
Jess showed these in her post on the new Essence releases. According to her, these blushes are MUST HAVES! 😀
Thank you so much, Jess, for these goodies! I cannot wait to try everything! 😀
Have you tried the ColourPop Pressed Eye Shadows or Essence blushes? Are you thinking of getting them?
Congrats, you lucky girl! I’ve never tried anything from ColourPop, and I feel I’m missing a lot! xx

How cool that you won a giveaway! I am dying to try out colourpop products. Everybody is always so enthusiastic about them, I hope I get to try some of their eyeshadows or lipproducts out soon. Essence is a great budget proof brand! I’d love to try the blushes out, I haven’t seen them in my drugstore yet but I will definitely keep an eye on it! xo

I don’t enter that many giveaways but I’ve been lucky. I think I’ve won 5 or so in the past couple of years. 🙂
ColourPop is so affordable and they cater to a wide variety of skin tones, I think that’s why they’re so popular. I’ve worn the Essence blushes over the weekend and they really are as good as everyone says they are. I’ve had other Essence blushes before but this formula is more pigmented and lasts longer! Grab them if you spot them.

And with a brand like ColourPop, since the products are so inexpensive, you probably end up paying MORE for shipping than the cost of the items themselves. I can’t justify that!

Just so you know there’s free international shippng on colour pop for this weekend with no cap. I’ve just placed a second small order to get under the customs charge hopefully (and the shadows seemed to have been discounted to 3.33 for no reason when you get to checkout)
Not that I’m encouraging you haha
Those shades look really pretty I just came to review your post before I placed an order, but the colours weren’t wild enough for me, I’m all about the crazy colours at the moment, no idea why!
Just looked over Jess’ post and Highstrung looks a lot like Steampunk from MUG which you admired from my MUG collection.
Those blushes look lovely, yet another item that I’ve not seen in our crappy essence selection, I’m hoping to see some more of the more interesting items in Malaysia.

Ah good eye to spot the similarity between Highstrung and MUG Steampunk. Perhaps I get both and to a head to head battle! XD
I’m still shaking my head over your lack of Essence selection. And no Bourjois makeup remover! What the heck. I’m so excited for your shopping over in Malaysia – yes, save yourself for that!
