After losing what felt like all hope they announced they were doing an exciting promotion in which international delivery was $4.99 under $50 and free for all orders above $50 around a week ago. Naturally I finally decided this was my moment to get a hold of some items.
First on my list were of course the Lippie Stix. I've had these on my list for ages as I've just heard how amazing the formula is. I of course had to get the shade 'Lumiere'. KathleenLights is one of my all time favourite YouTubers and when she first released her collab I knew Lumiere would have to be mine. It's a stunning dusty mauve pink which just adds a bit more of a feminine feel than a normal nude lip which I really love. I also knew that the shade 'Poison' would have to bee mine too. I'm very into my dark lips at the moment but I don't own a shade like this. I have quite a few bright red or deep red lipsticks, but none this stunning deep brown/red shade. Because it's such a unique shade I also decided to get the lip pencil in 'Poison' to match it as well as I wasn't sure if I would find a lip liner over here to match with it. What I love about this shade is how white it makes my teeth look as well!
Of course I couldn't not order a couple of the Colourpop Super Shock Eyeshadows. I've just heard such amazing things about their pigmentation and quality so I picked up two shades 'La La' and another KathleenLights collab 'Weenie'. 'La La' is a beautiful rose gold shimmery eyeshadow. Although they may look very similar 'La La' has a much more copper and brown undertone to it which I absolutely love! The formula of these eye-shadows is so creamy I actually couldn't believe it when I first swatched them.
I have enough blushers and bronzers to last a lifetime (well can you really have enough) but I am always happy to extend my highlighter collection. Golden champagne highlighters are by far my favourite and am so happy that I picked up 'Wisp'. Although this looked scarily darker to how I thought it would in the pan, when you apply it, it's more wearable. It's so creamy and not powdery at all, and because of the texture, it really blends into the skin without leaving you with an awkward streak on your face which can happen with some highlighters!
If I could I would have 100% picked up more, but alas with moving house I had to restrict myself to only picking up one Ultra Matte Lip. 'Bumble' really caught my eye because it's a shade unlike any in my collection (I feel like this is my one line excuse to my purchases). Bumble is a light terracota shade, which I think could look stunning on such an array of different skin shades. With most liquid lipsticks I have found them to be extremely drying and not a single drugstore liquid lipstick has really been mildly 'good' in my opinion. I'm still playing around with this formula as I've been wearing and testing out the Lippie Stix.
So there we have it! My first ever Colourpop haul. I'm so impressed with Colourpop and if they ever do another $4.99 international shipping deal I will of course be making the most of it. The total cost for all the products and international shipping came to $38.99 (I had $5 off from susbscribing to their newnewsletter). So this was around £32. I then had to pay £13 once it had entered the UK for royal mail and customs (wahhh).
Let me know what products I need to have on my shopping list next when I shop at Colourpop!
Beautiful pictures of a lovely haul hun! I love La La...its my go-to glam eye shade! So pretty! xxx

Thank you Melanie! that means so much :) xx
Delete$25 for shipping without a promotion?! What a crazy amount! It's almost like the $4.99 promotion was meant for you! I've always wanted to try Colourpop too, so I may have to keep an eye out for future deals! These products all sound amazing so it seems totally worth it, the eye shadows are my favourites - DEM SHADES <3

I know right! And then you get charged with customs as well before it arrives! Yes definitely, I'll probably get overly excited and tweet about it if it ever happens again! ;) xx
DeleteThese are all so pretty! I just recently tried Colourpop for the first time and can't wait to try more of their products.

me too! I just wish it wasn't such a massive pain to get them sent here, although totally worth it because I am obsessed with all the products already! xx
DeleteI love color pop products, especially their highlighters, blushes, contour stuff and their eyeshadows. I need to do another order.
ReplyDeletewww.themakeupaficionado.com
I've been wearing Wisp everyday! I have to say if I do another haul I don't think I can resist the blushes and may have to get one! I really want to do another order as well! xx
DeleteI love Lumiere, that sounds like an amazing deal for international customers! La La is really pretty too, I'm not crazy about 2/3 of the shades that I have x
ReplyDeletewww.beautyfromkatie.blogspot.com
Oh no! I think it's quite difficult to find products online and buy them with the shades, I watched a lot of Youtube videos (especially KathleenLights) ones to get an idea of what they look like swatched etc before buying them! xx
DeleteThose lip shades are gorgeous! I so need to try out some colour pop products :)
ReplyDeleteLotte | www.lottebeautybox.blogspot.co.uk
Yes do! They are totally worth it, although would wait until there is a delivery promotion on!!! xx
DeleteBumble looks like such a pretty colour! Great post!

I think that's what totally sold it to me to buy it! I haven't seen a shade quite like it yet and just know I'm going to get a lot of wear out of it! xx
DeleteI have tried ColorPop liquid lipsticks and eye liners and they are amazing! I have yet to try the eyeshadows though but it's definitely in my list to purchase.
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
I really want to try their eyeliner but they didn't have just a normal black one! I couldn't even describe to you the weird sensation when you swatch the eyeshadows, they are just so so creamy! xx
DeleteI love Color Pop, their eyeshadows are so perfect and good for travelling with because some of the lighter shades can double as a highlighter!

That's such a good idea! I think La La would work well as a highlighter as well because it is such a pretty champagne shade! xx
DeleteI really wish I'd made the most of that promotion, what a fab find! Love the shades here. I'm going to make an order soon so will definitely keep these in mind for then!

I kind of wish I had gotten more from that promotion! I would seriously recommend the eyeshadow shades, they are so pretty! xx
DeleteLumiere is absolutely stunning!

I know it just makes for such a pretty everyday wear without it being 'another nude' xx
DeleteI love ColourPop and La La and Wisp are two of my favourites :) the regular ColourPop shipping isn't a flat rate, by the way, it's banded. If you order 2 products it's $15 and as their products are so cheap your order will be under £15 so you won't have to pay customs. It's still pricey but I sometimes do it if I just HAVE to have something haha

I really want to try Colour Pop so bad - see nothing but good stuff about them and amazing swatches! They've got free international shipping if you spend over $50 atm until the end of the year so that may have to be my excuse! x

I'm dying to try their eyeshadows so badly! Everyone seems to love Colourpop and I want to join the party too hehe. x
