Colourpop Cosmetics Blushes

My lovely boyfriend ordered me a bunch of Colourpop Cosmetics for christmas so, I’m gonna have some Colourpop reviews coming up. If you don’t know what Colourpop Cosmetics are they are a newer brand based out Los Angeles and they carry no power products. These products can only be bought on the Colourpop website. All of their blushes, bronzers, highlighters, and eyeshadows are all a cream. The first thing I wanted to review for you guys was the two blushes I got. They are called the Super Shock Cheek.

These blushes are $8 (USD) so about $11 (CAD). I don’t think the price point is bad. They usually have coupon codes for $5 off your purchase so that helps.

The two colours I got are Holiday and Thumper. Holiday is a bright true coral. It leans more orange than it does pink. It is a matte finish. It’s going to be absolutely gorgeous in the summer with a tan and with a nice highlight on top of the cheekbones.
Thumper is a bright cool toned pink. It’s also a matte finish. It looks a little intimidating but it blends out really nice. It gives the cheeks a nice pink flush. It kind of makes you look like you’ve been outside in the cold and just came in.

The texture of these is really interesting. They feel very creamy to the touch but dry down to a powder finish so I feel like these look fine over powder. You do have to be careful though, because you can dig your finger right in there. These blushes don’t have the greatest pigmentation and have to be built up. But, they give the cheeks a nice flush and are very nice when built up.

My favourite brush to apply this is from Morphe Cosmetics from their gunmetal collection and is the G8 brush. I would like to try applying these blushes with a sponge to see how that work.

Have you tried Colourpop Cosmetics? What do you think? What’s your favourite way to apply these products?
