ColourPop ‘She’ Pressed Powder Shadow Palette – a “Love At First Sight” or a “Blind Hate”?

Hey Everyone! T.G.I.F. 😎

Hope your weekend plans are at their highest. Tonight we will talk about one of the most hyped palette of current time. It’s non other than ColourPop x Karrueche Fem Rosa 🌹 : ‘She’ Pressed Powder Shadow Palette. On this collaboration with Karrueche, ColourPop released a handful of beauty products. My only pick from this collection is ‘She‘.

It was all sold out after the first release. So, got this after the first restock.

The Packaging :

It comes in a magnetic cardboard packaging with a vintage rose themed pattern on front and all the shadow names affixed on the back. The packaging looks so frigging beautiful that anyone would easily fall in love. It’s lightweight and easy to carry. Also comes with the same patterned box to protect it from damage.

The Shadows:

This palette comes with 12 full sized pressed eyeshadows in 3 different formulas – 4 mattes, 7 metallics and 1 satin. Let’s move on to the colours now!!!

Ladylike: metallic soft ivory
Babe: satin light peachy pink
Dainty: metallic pinky taupe
Chick: metallic subtle gold
Mademoiselle: metallic rose gold
Gal: metallic red with copper duochrome
Empress: metallic mid-tone pink plum
Filly: metallic rusty orange
Dear: matte warm rose
Missy: matte deep burgundy
Damsel: matte smokey violet
Duchess: matte dusty coral

If you look closely all shades belonging to the mauve and rose toned family.

Swatches:

All swatches are done on my NC 45 skin tone. So this swatch post will be a great help for the beauties belonging to medium to deep league!

Top Row: Chick, Dainty, Babe & Ladylike (Top to Bottom).

Middle Row: Filly, Empress, Gal & Mademoiselle (Top to Bottom).

Bottom Row: Duchess, Damsel, Missy & Dear (Top to Bottom).

My Thoughts :

Very pigmented.
Has similar shades with UD Naked Heat Palette, Huda Beauty Rose Gold Palette and ABH modern Renaissance Palette.
Easily blendable.
Buttery smooth formula.
But, the matted ones are a bit powdery and do fall out.
Overall good!!🖒🖒And, within budget!!

I would happily pay $16 (equivalent to BDT. 1280, excluding shipping & customs charge.) for this bomb palette 💋.

My Ratings : ⛤⛥⛦⛦

(If only the matted ones were a little better in formula 😐.)

Featured Look :

I did this colourful eye makeup to compliment my *Phulkari* dupatta/scarf.

Here I used : Duchess as my transition colour and Missy on my crease! On my lids – its Filly! For those popping inner corners I picked that minty shade from sleek i-divine palette in Candy🍭! (Please excuse my lighting.)

With a little bit blue eyeliner on my water line. A little splash of Damsel in the lower lashline.
