In Bloom is my first Colour Pop purchase and I have to say right off the top that I freaking LOVE it!! This set is a collaboration between Colour Pop and celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg, and comes with 3 Super Shock cheek colors and 3 Lippie Stix. The colors that she came up with are beautiful, fun, and basically perfect for Spring/Summer.
What really took this set from "Ooh, PRETTY!" to "Holy crap, I need to get more of these!" is the interesting textures and AMAZING pigmentation of Colour Pop's formulas. The blushes have a bouncy, creamy feel that is super blendable but sets on the skin like a powder. The pigmentation of the blushes kind of blew me away, and needless to say I easily overdid it the first time I applied. So, fair skinned girls beware that you need to use a light hand with these. Literally just a smidge will do ya! They can be applied with fingers for the most impact, but my personal favorite is to use a duofiber stippling brush for a nice, healthy pop of color without looking crazy.
The Lippie Stix have some of the best pigmentation I've come across as well. Almost too good. I only need to apply a thin layer of these lipsticks for full coverage, opaque color. The finish of the lipsticks in this set is SUPER creamy. They also smell like vanilla, my favorite!
Now, onto the swatches!
How cute is that packaging!?!?
The first blush is called Tongue Tied, and is a bright warm coral with a matte finish. SO pretty!
The next "blush" is actually a golden champagne highlighter called Double Dip. This gives just the right amount of glow to the skin, and the formula makes it really easy to control so you never end up looking too shimmery.
The last blush in the set is called Hysterical and is a pinky-plum with a matte finish. This color gives a really natural looking flush to the skin, like you just came back from a quick jog.
The first lipstick in the set is Sweet Thing. It's a mid-toned bubble gum pink. This pretty wearable since it's not too light or cool toned.
Frienemy is hands down my favorite of the 3 lip colors. It's like neon coral and just screams Summer to me.
And last, but not least, we have Freshman. This is a creamy magenta and I love it...nuff said.
After trying this set out, I will DEFINITELY be getting more from Colour Pop!
