Colourpop Sale Haul – October 2020 (& Recommendations)

affordable beauty

I had been anticipating making a ColourPop order at Black Friday, but they announced a 25% off sale in late October and so I decided to jump on and buy a few things in the meantime. I hope to also buy some things come November, but am waiting on stock.

Lip Tint in Shade A Go Go

There were only two shades in stock on the website and this is the one I don’t have out of them. This formula is heavenly, but has a strong peachy scent (I like it but it might be overwhelming for others?) I really hope the full range is restocked.

Luxe Lip Oil in Shade Skinny Dip

These were high on my wishlist and I very easily could’ve purchased the full set of 5 but I thought that may be excessive? Lol I hate when I’m reasonable! 

Lux Gloss in Shades Dream Queen and Figgy With It

Another item high on my wishlist was this gloss. I actually wanted to buy the entire mauve collection, but once again, my good old logic came back to play and I just purchased one shade from this collection. 

Mauve collection blushes in Catch My Vibe

As I said above, I wanted the whole collection. But I figured, I have the Flutterby palette (sitting untouched mind you) so I didn’t need another mauve palette. I did want to pick up both blushes from this collection but only one was in stock. Allie Glines and Juudy both made such a good case for both shades so I’ll definitely be picking up Coast to Coast when I can. 

Wild Nothing Palette

This palette really excited me when it launched, so I was very pleased that I was able to get it when it was in stock. I have nothing like this in my collection so am excited to play! 

Pretty Fresh Tinted Moisturiser in 4N MINI

I had done extensive research to find a shade that would suit me, and ended up choosing 4N because that’s what @maddies.makeupmess wears too (I think, lol? Or maybe it was Jessica Braun. Either way, Maddie has been very influential in my CP purchases hah!) Just before the sale, they released mini sizes making it much less scary to commit to a shade. I’m so glad they’ve done this, it is also available in the pretty fresh primer and mist (the mist is amazing, would recommend) 

Coral Collection Blush 

SIKE! It was out of stock… pleaseeeee be available at Black Friday.

I’m not sure if this coral tone will really suit my fair skin but I’m excited to try. I love this compact and honestly that’s what draws me to it the most. 

Clear Brow Gel

Because the coral blush was out of stock, I had to bulk up my cart with other products to reach free shipping over $60USD. So I added this. I’ve heard good things, and you always need clear brow gel, right?

Liquid Illuminator in Soft Ivory

Who knows how this will go but I’m excited nonetheless. I don’t own anything like this (does MAC Strobe Scream count?) so will have to have a play with how I like to apply it. Mixed with foundation? On top of foundation as highlight?

Wishlist:

  • Face mask mini set: mainly for the aesthetic, I won’t lie
  • Lip tints: for some reason these haven’t restocked in a really long time and it makes me SO sad because this formula is just heaven
  • Pretty Fresh Foundation: I’m hoping this order arrives before Black Friday so I can test the TM for a shade match and then buy the foundation, but otherwise I’ll probably just bite the bullet and get it. It looks so pretty! Maybe even the concealer if I’m feeling crazy.

Things to note

I have ordered from Colourpop twice in the past (or three times, I can’t remember?)

The first time, it arrived in like three weeks which was equally incredible as it was shocking. I mentally prepared for a long wait time.

The second time I ordered, it arrived in about four weeks, but half my order was missing. Excuse me what???

It was relatively easy to follow up with Colourpop and they sent out my missing items. But like how does that even happen? It wasn’t just one item… it was like 10!!!

Anyways it was resolved easily, but I’m always cautious now.

Also, always add a few extra dollars onto what you think your total will be.

I used a USD to AUD convertor on Google, but my bank must use a different one. I thought I would be paying $100 AUD but it was atcually about $106 AUD.

The OFFICIAL best and worst of @colourpopcosmetics ✨ – I’ve tried my fair share of colourpop, enough, that I believe I can put together a list of my hits and misses. – ✨Best✨ – pressed matte eyeshadows: these are god tier, up there with ABH shadows, so many options that you couldn’t possibly not find a palette for you. – super shock shadows: also god tier, I really think cp paved the way for many brands to release shadows like this….for a much heftier price range. – brow boss gel: she thicccc, holds my brows all day and comes in clear, and is $6USD each. Unbeatable – lip liners: excellent, creamy, cheap, great range of colours. – super shock highlighters: absolute blinding goodness – powder blushes: just the right amount of pigment, I love that you can make palettes out of them or put them in a single pan, great range of shades. – no filter concealer: not cakey or drying, great coverage, a little goes a long way, super affordable option! – Worst 😗✌🏻 – bullet lipsticks and liquid lipsticks: they’re. so. drying. Like prison for your lips – mascara: it dries out so fast! And it’s really clumpy and flakey, there are much better drugstore options. – pressed powder bronzer: waaaay too pigmented for a bronzer and shades are kind of ashy – no filter foundation: very drying, a little cakey. Pretty fresh is much better however not good enough to make my best list haha. – Okay! So comment below your favourite and least favourite product from @colourpopcosmetics 🥰
