In the beginning of this year, I bought some ColourPop products.

I took this picture from my Instagram. I bought four eyeshadows and two lip products. For this post, I will review one of the eyeshadows.

Description from the website: Cool-toned silvery taupe with multi-coloured glitter, this shadow will be your new BFF, day or night. Our fearless leader loves this shade SO MUCH that we naturally had to name it "I Heart This!"

Thoughts: When I saw the eyeshadows on YouTube, as well as, Instagram, I was intrigued. I thought why not since it's only $5 each.
Here's how the eyeshadow looks. It looks like a typical eyeshadow, but it's more a softer sponge-like shadow. It reminds me a lot of Mirabella Myth Visionary Long Wearing Eyeshadow. In the sense that if you touch with your fingers, it'll leave a fingerprint mark.
Here's a closer look at I Heart This.
Here's a swatch of I Heart This on my hand. I apologize the picture didn't come out that well, but you have an idea or at least I hope so.
Here's how I Heart This looks on the lid. I blended out with MAC in Mulch on the crease and other v.
Here's an overall look. I have Jordana Modern Matte Lipstick in Matte Frappuccino on the lips.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, it has a slight scent if you smell the product with your nose. Otherwise, you do not smell anything. I cannot describe the smell but it's not pleasant. Again, I said it's only noticeable if you put your nose close to the shadow. Secondly, it's extremely easy to apply. They recommend using your fingers. That's what I did on the lid. I honestly do not know how it'll be with a brush. With that said, it goes on smoothly and dries quickly. I highly recommend you do one eye first then the other. Once it's dried, it'll be hard to blend the color. Third if you're not a big fan of metallic, shiny, sparkly eyeshadows, this isn't for you. I personally love the metallic, shiny eyeshadow. Whenever I wear this, I get tons of compliments. Lastly, the eyeshadow is long lasting and does not crease.

Pros:
* Variety of colors and textures.
* $5 dollar each.
* Easy to apply.
* Pigmented.
* Dries quickly.
* Does not crease.
* Long lasting.
* Not tested on animals.

Cons:
* Cannot find in stores.

Would repurchase: Yes!

I tried out my friend's ColourPop shadows, and the texture is really unique! I think the shimmery shadows work much better than the matte/velvety ones. :D
