Happy Makeup Monday!
I’m sharing a few more goodies from LA brand Colourpop! I was really disappointed to learn that they charge a crazy amount for shipping to Canada so I made sure to place another order before I moved back to Toronto. The lipsticks are my favourite products from Colourpop but I’ve been pretty impressed with their eyeshadows and blushes as well.
Eyeshadows ($5 US): Cowboy (matte pastel lavender) and Bites (matte white). Pastels are really my jam right now. These creamy shadows have an almost spongy texture but apply like a cream. They are very sheer on their own but if you apply a primer underneath you’ll get gorgeous and bright pigmentation from these little guys.
Blush ($8): Olive (matte baby pink). I apply this using a duo fibre blush brush and it has a beautiful airbrushed finish. I think you could get away with apply thing with your fingertips but you’d have to be really careful about blending. I love the colour!
Left: Cowboy, Bites Right: Olive
Cowboy is such a light pastel it almost looks white, but like I said, if you use a primer you can get slightly more pigmentation.
Bites is the perfect matte for highlighting the inner corner of the eye or under the brow bone.
Olive is a matte blush but somehow still looks looks dewy on the skin.
Left to right: Cake, Gossip, Chi-Chi
Cake (satin) is a bright pastel peachy pink. Sadly this looked terrible on me, it was way too light. I loved it when I swatched it but it’s just not right for my skin tone.
Gossip (satin) os a mid-tone blue pink. It comes across a bit more purple than pink and I love it! I’ve been wearing this a ton lately, it’s bright but not as neon as Cake. I definitely like the satin finish lipsticks best (they also have glossy and matte).
Chi-chi (satin) is a bright true orange. I’ve only been brave enough to wear this out once but I got so many compliments on it I am going to start wearing it more often! I don’t know if people actually liked the colour or they just wanted to commend me on being crazy enough to wear a bright orange lipstick lol
Here’s my makeup look using these products!

I really need to get some of their lip products. After seeing how amazing it looked on you (and how GOOD IT SMELLS), I definitely feel the need to pick some of these up. I just have to wait for when I’m in the US again since there is noooo way I am playing that horrible shipping charge!

I know, the chocolate scented lipsticks? I CAN’T EVEN! As someone who loves to play with colour I think you’ll really enjoy them : )

That pink looks seriously so stunning on you!! That’s too bad about Cake because it looks so pretty in the swatch. Love this whole look with your new hair!
Megan Joy says
Thanks Nadia! It looked so weird, I was really hoping it would be a better match for my skin tone. Oh well, the other two worked out : )
Chelsea says
I loooove ColourPop! I ordered a bunch of stuff a couple months ago and use it all so often. Their blushes are my fave, and I really want to get more lippie stix!
Megan Joy says
I am so glad I grabbed a blush in my last order, it’s awesome! I love how airbrushed it looks. Glad you are loving their stuff too : )
MizzJ says
Everything looks so amazing! How much is shipping to Canada?
And yes to bright orange lipstick! It sounds crazy but is surprisingly wearable.
Megan Joy says
I haven’t tried to place an order since I’ve been back in Canada but I think it’s something crazy like $30 for shipping? So dumb!
Jen says
Gosh, those lip colours! So gorgeous. You wear the pastel shades so well and Buffy kisses make everything even cuter 🙂
Megan Joy says
I feel like photos of my face are boring but they are much more interesting once Buffy is in them haha!
Erin says
