My Make Up Collection| ColourPop Super Shock Shadows Neutrals| Part One

I am sure by now most of you have heard of ColourPop. It has taken the beauty world by storm. I remember hearing about ColourPop from CoffeebreakwithDani around three years ago. Back than Colourpop only made Super Shock Shadows. I was hooked from day one!

After looking at my collection I have decided to make a Colourpop Super Shock Shadow series on my blog where I swatch ever single Super Shock Shadow I own and tell you about it. I figured the best way to start this series is with my favorite neutrals. So grab a snack and cuddle up in a blanket because here we go!!

First lets start with MY FAVORITE Colourpop shadow ever and that shadow is Game Face. The Colourpop site describes Game Face like this:
  • " Prepare to get rowdy with an Ultra-Metallic rich copper" Game Face is in the Ultra-metallic finish category and is considered a orange/coral shade category
I consider that description to be quite accurate. I should mention that Colourpop is hands down the best at great product descriptions. Here is my own personal descriptions of Game Face:
  • Super rich creamy liquefied penny. Your go to shadow all October long.
I seriously tell people this. Not joking. Game Face is the CREAMIEST (yes I hate this word as well) Super Shock Shadow ever! It is literally what I think heaven feels. You can wear Game face alone or with a nice deep chocolate brown in the crease. If you decided to buy just one thing from this blog I HIGHLY recommend you get Game Face. You know where I am going with this...it is a GAME CHANGER haha 

I just noticed that the next shadow I am about to mention is one of my least favorite shadows. But when this shadow was released the swatches were to die for! The next shadow is Nillionaire. Here is how Colourpop describes it:
  • "You'll be looking rich in this bronze with pink and gold Ultra Glitter" Nillionaire is in the Ultra-Glitter finish category and is considered a gold in the shade category
Once again quite accurate but her is my description:
  • The best bronzee pink shadow that will deepen any summer look
Since this shade is an Ultra-Glitter finish you know what means....the dreaded...FALL OUT. I do not use this shadow because of the fall out and I have thought about getting rid of it. I have ruined several make up looks because of this shadow. If you are fine with applying your foundation after you do your eyes by all means purchase this shadow, but if you are like me and prefer to apply your foundation first this shadow may give you a few headaches.

So this next shadow was originally a holiday only shade but it was such an amazing shade they decided to listen to their customers and bring this shade back as a permanent shadow. The next shadow is La La  and here is the description from the Colourpop site:
  •   "Fa la la la la - la la - ka ching: an ultra-glittery soft copper" La La is in the Ultra-Glitter finish category is considered a Pinks and gold shade
I love the Fa la la part because it came out during the holiday season. My description is:
  • The best mixture of copper and rose gold! 
Yes that simple. It is the BEST rose gold shade. This is why this shadow is a best seller...it is perfect! This shadow is a glittery shadow but it does not have fall out! So not all Ultra-Glitters have fall out just a few.



Ok y'all we are now going to talk about my second favorite Colourpop shadow and EVERY time I share this shadow I have several people comment "I need that shadow in my life"!  Sequin from Colourpop is a BEAUTIFUL shadow. Colourpop made one of the best descriptions for this shadow:
  • " A rosy penny copper with multi-dimensional Ultra-Glitter finish. Find a boy, pick him up, all day long You'll get good.... "Sequin is in the Ultra-Glitter finish and is considered a Pinks and gold shade
 Yup. I told you. It is amazing! My description will do no justice to this. But I will try:
  • A pink rose dipped in gold Tinker Bell fairy dust.
 Yup. That was nothing compared to Colourpops'. I tried. You may be wondering what is the difference between La La and Sequin and the answer is La La is more golden and Sequin is has a deeper pink. Both are amazing with no fall out!

Next up is Boy Band!
  • " No one will tell you “Bye, Bye, Bye” in this Ultra-Metallic red copper" Boy Band is in the Ultra-Metallic finish and is considered a neutrals shade
The best boy band ever was N'SYNC, so I find this description to be AMAZING! I would describe it this way
  • Copper red magic! 
This one is similar to Game Face but just a deeper red! I am hoping you can tell how PIGMENTED the Ultra-Metallics are. It is out of this world amazing!

The last shadow for this post is kinda a bummer because you can no longer purchase it and I do not know the details on it. So hopefully my description does it justice!

Summer Lovin' has been released several times during its lifetime. It is considered to be a tie-dye color. When you first get it you will see several shades of bronze,copper and champagne. Kinda of how you would like your summer to go...lots of champagne by the pool! I am going to say this is a Ultra-Glitter finish. It is not as pigmented as an Ultra-Metallic. If it is released I do suggest you purchase it! It is a nice color to have in  my collection.



Alright, I have decided to split these posts up. I have too much to say about Colourpop. I really LOVE this company. They always put the customer first and they listen to our suggestions. My only issue with Colourpop is that my wallet can not keep up! They are always coming out with new products! I will say Colourpop sells everything at a ridiculously good price! Everything ranges from $5.00-$10.00. You can not beat that! Plus free domestic shipping after $30.00! If you haven't tried Colourpop I highly recommend that you do! If you enjoyed this post please share it with you friends! 

Thanks for reading and as always have a beauty filled day!

Who is Amiee? 10 Fun Facts About Me

Happy May! I haven't published a blog in almost three months. I apologize for that, but I am back and ready to write! I thought I would take it easy and do a fun facts about me. So here we go! Ten facts about me...Amiee!

1. I have crooked pinkys. My grandfather had crooked pinkys and so does my dad. When I was little I used to trick my friends into thinking I could actually bend them that way. They totally believed me! I felt super cool until one friend asked me to straighten and well I couldn't. 

2. I am a TV junkie! I love a TON of TV shows and now with Netflix I find a new show every week. I love all types of shows. Here are a few that I love: Scandal, The Good Place, iZombie, Gilmore Girls, Friends and Master Chef Junior. 

3. Cows are my favorite animals. I think it is awesome they can pick their nose with their tongue! 

4. Since cows are my favorite animals I gave up eating beef when I was 13. I am proud to say I am a Texas resident and I have never eaten a steak! 

5. I grew up in New Mexico. It truly is the Land of Enchantment. You can not beat a New Mexico sunset! 

6. My favorite color has changed three times in my life. At first it was green than it was red and now it is purple. 

7. I was 99.999% positive I was going to be Sailor Jupiter. I kept my bangs until I was 13,wore pink rose earrings, loved the color green and tried to learn how to cook. I was determined to be Sailor Jupiter. Sadly, when I turned 13 I was not chosen to be Sailor Jupiter :), so I got rid of the bangs and fell in love with the color red...maybe I was Sailor Mars in a past life???

8. I have always had one dream job and that dream job is to own a bakery/coffee shop/ used bookstore. 

9. I can make a MEAN grilled cheese! They are probably the unhealthiest thing to eat, but I am telling you my grilled cheeses are AMAZING!

10. If i know I am never going to meet you again I will not correct you on the pronunciation on my name. My name is pronounced Ah-Me not Amy. I am hoping we will all one day meet so, hello! I am Amiee and welcome to my blog!

I hope you all enjoyed these random facts about me and will continue visiting my page! As always have a beauty filled day!

Thanks,
