Clearly in Love
ColourPop Clearly in Love 9-Pan Shadow Palette (Plastic) ($12.00 for 0.28 oz.) includes a mix of pink, peach, copper, and brown; it had both cooler and warmer undertones, which was interesting. The palette contained a multitude of textures–two new ones, Satin Pearl and Sheer Sparkle–along with shimmers, mattes, and even a Super Shock Shadow. The performance was fairly good with decent pigmentation, blendability, and wear.
Ingredients
Guess What
Guess What is a pale pink with warmer undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage with a firmer, thinner texture that felt more emollient to the touch but didn’t pick up as readily with a dry brush as the brand’s shimmers tend to. This seemed to be their new “Satin Pearl” finish, though it was not explicitly stated as such (but did feel like a departure in texture from their past shimmers). It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably on me.

Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. – $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.

My Number
My Number is a light, golden peach with warmer, yellowy undertones and flecks of fine sparkle throughout. It had a more emollient consistency–not as spongy or as wet as a true Super Shock Shadow but somewhere in-between their typical powder and Super Shock Shadow formulas. It had medium coverage that picked up evenly with brush and deposited and blended out product well. It lasted for eight hours before fading a bit. I believe this is their new “Sheer Sparkle” finish.

Sprung
Sprung is a medium pinky-peach with moderate, warm undertones and flecks of sparkle strewn over a matte finish. Thankfully, the sparkles were few and far between, so they didn’t impact the application. The eyeshadow had rich pigmentation that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out well thanks to its smooth, velvety texture. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a bit on me.

Shawty
Shawty is a rich, medium-dark copper with moderate, warm rusty-red undertones and flecks of gold and pink sparkle throughout. It had opaque pigmentation paired with an emollient texture that felt wet to the touch, as it was a Super Shock Shadow, but it performed like a powder once it came into contact with my skin. It stayed on nicely for nine hours before fading noticeably.

Like Like
Like Like is a brighter, dark fuchsia pink with subtle, cool undertones and a pearl-like sheen. It had opaque color payoff paired with a firmer, stiffer texture that seemed a touch thin, so it had to be used with a denser brush or heavier hand to pick up and apply product evenly, though there was light fallout. This shade lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Snack
Snack is a muted, medium-dark brown with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of pink micro-sparkle strewn over a matte finish. There wasn’t much in the way of fallout from the random sparkles as there just didn’t seem to be that many, so between getting lost in the air or trapped in my brush, it wasn’t an issue. It had opaque color payoff with a soft, somewhat powdery texture that was blendable and not prone to sheering out too readily. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. – $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing.” The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they’re not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.
The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.
