Looking back on my early beauty blogging years, I don?t know how I ever managed to test 20-ish new products a week.
You guys, I?m a bad beauty blogger. Instead of branching out and trying new brands these days, my makeup bag is primarily dominated by ColourPop Cosmetics. And I?m not sorry about it.
If you?re not familiar with ColourPop, let me count the reasons why I love this cruelty-free and wallet-friendly brand?

1. Their Super Shock formula is out of this world. The first product I ever tried from the brand was the Super Shock Shadow. Simply put, I love this cream-powder formula and bouncy texture. I?ve never had to worry about staying power with this eyeshadow. Wattles (a dusty beige pink satin) was my daily go-to during the spring and summer. I just scooped up Hank Panky (a matte light warm beige) a couple weeks ago and it?s a great all over lid color or transition shade for my fair complexion. Oh, and the best part" Each shadow costs only $5. You can tell by the photos how much I use and abuse these shadows. 2. I?m still not done obsessing over their Super Shock formula because its Super Shock Highlighter is also amazing. Flexitarian, an intense white champagne, has become my go-to highlighter. It?s easy to blend with a fluffy synthetic brush or even my fingers. I also have Glazed (a soft ivory gold) and Scrumptious (pink with silver flecks). A few more shades were recently released and Parallel is at the top of my wish list.
