Recently ColourPop has started shipping to the UK and I had to place an order straight away. I ordered a bit of everything so I could get a feel for what I like and what I don't and I have to say I think I'm in love with this brand already. It is so affordable and even though I had to pay tax when it arrived it still worked out reasonable priced for everything I got.
I'll start with the lip products that I got three Ultra Matte lips and one Ultra Satin lip. I stayed quite safe with the colours, I got mainly neutrals so I got get good use out of them however I did order one risky colour. The colour that I took a risk on was sadly out of stock so they sent me a 'similar' colour and this is the only colour I was unhappy with out of what I had ordered. In my eyes this colour is completely different to what I had originally chosen and I don't think I will ever wear it as it's bright orange. With that said here are the swatches of Pacific, Tulle, Alyssa and Clueless:

Next is the Lippie Stix, I was most exited for these as I've heard a lot of good things about them. I also went for pinky neutrals for these too as they are the colours I wear the most. I found it so hard to limit myself to just a few of these because there were loads of colours and finishes to chose from. I also picked up a lip pencil just to test them out and see how they hold up.
I think the packaging on these are very sturdy for an affordable brand and I like how they aren't packaged like your average lipstick. Below are the swatches for Button, Contempo, Lumier, Oh Snap, Cookie and Tootsi:

The formula on their powder products is like nothing I have ever swatched, they have the most creamy and buttery feel to them while still remaining a powder. The pigment on them is also amazing for such affordable prices. Below are the swatches for Kathleenlights, Sequin, Trois, Wisp, Quarters and Between The Sheets:
I believe the colour Trois has been discontinued as its no longer on their website and I believe it was part of a limited edition set. I wish I got more powder products because they are amazing, I didn't want to get too many just in case I didn't like the formula.
I will definitely be placing another order soon, I will get more eye shadows, blushes and highlights. I also want to try out the bronzers as I forgot to order one this time. I might wait until their Christmas collections come out to see whats new.
