Now we can ball on a budget at Sephora!

As if Halloween wasn't sweet enough, this year Colourpop, everyone's favorite affordable indie brand, will launch online and in-store at Sephora! They will carry some classic Colourpop faves and brand new goodies!!!

Sure, we're excited to swatch a Super Shook Shadow IRL -but the real craze is about Colourpop keeping their same low prices!

Well, mostly. But let's look at what's new first.

Then we'll talk prices. 

The first is this lip gloss trio. The Feelin Fine Lip Gloss Trio ($18) includes three duo chrome glosses in Fairy Me, Obviously, Lay-Z. All brand new shades! The gilded cap is everything!

Next, we have the Golden State of Mind ($26) eye shadow palette.full of shimmer shades!

The sunset colors and the golden butterfly on the packaging are beautifully relaxed. It reminds me of what Colourpop represents - a sort of breezy ease of makeup with accessibility to everyone.. It's says, "You're here for fun and don't have to be a makeup expert to apply makeup."

Colourpop says that the price point hasn't changed. 

In the case of the bundle of lip glosses, prices did slightly go up. If you were to purchase a lip gloss trio from Colourpop.com right now, you'd pay $15, It's true for their collab with influencer iluvsarahii. Her lip gloss trio costs $15; so does  the Can You Knot ultra satin lip trio, and even the Out And About ultra matte liquid lipstick trio. All of these trios are $15.

The bundle at Sephora is $18. Individually, an ultra satin lipstick, a lip gloss, or an ultra matte liquid lipstick would cost $6 each. Take out your calculator and you'll see there isn't a money saving gem with the Sephora bundle. So buying the bundle at Sephora wouldn't save you any money the way it would on Colourpop's website. 

So you will pay full price per product that is featured in a bundle v. saving a few bucks the way you would on Colourpop's website. 

What are your thoughts about that?

Here are a few more new goodies launching tomorrow (10/31)!!

Colourpop Cosmetics Pressed Powder Shadows

By: Amanda V.

Colourpop Cosmetics, who are known for their super affordable creamy shadows, highlighters and liquid lippies finally released pressed powder eyeshadows earlier this year. Being the fangirl that I am for this brand, I picked up a few and they did not disappoint. At just 5 bucks a pop, these eyeshadow pans are a pretty good steal to add to your collection. Some of the shimmers and metallics can double as a highlight. They blend really well without skipping which is what i loved the most. Of course they have a bit of fallout, just about every eyeshadow does but thats nothing a a quick swipe of a wipe can't fix. 

Unedited, Single finger swatches! do you see this beam?! Colourpop's Metallic and shimmer shadows are out of this world. From Top to Bottom: Let Me Explain, Take It Slow, Liar Liar, You Know The Drill, High Strung, Come and Get It, Milli. 

I was actually surprised to see that the matte shadows not only showed up with a single finger swatch but also blended well with a brush. I've had many past experiences with inexpensive mattes, they tend to go on like chalk and not blend at all. These blended like a creamy dream. I've worn these for a full day and with the right eye primer, they last quite a long time. 

These neutral Mattes ARE A DREAM!!! From Top to Bottom: Wake Up Call, Bel Air, Wait For It, Get Out, Backseat, Goody Two Shoes (I highly recommend this sultry metallic gunmetal shade to everyone, it reflects beautifully and is perfect for a summer smokey eye!) 

As far as these pressed eye shadows go, they are an 11/10. Luxe quality at the perfect price. Colourpop.com is currently having a promo, 3 eye shadows for $10 and FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING IN THE US!!! If you're someone like me, who prefers not to spend too much on shadows because its what I use the least on myself,  this is a perfect go to. This is also great for teens and the MUA beginners who are looking to bulid their kit. I only knocked out half of a star because i feel that the processing prior to shipping takes FOREVER!!! (I'm annoyingly impatient, but then again since shipping is free I shouldn't be complaining.)
