A few months ago I placed a Colourpop order using ShipItTo as, at the time, Colourpop didn't ship directly to the UK so I felt like I was limited in what I could buy. As you don't find out ShipItTo's cost until you've actually placed the order, I really had to reign myself in and only buy a couple of things. However... Colourpop recently announced that they were going to start to ship internationally! Dreams do come true, huh? Shipping is still steep though, with an order amounting to $100 or less costing $25 to ship and then on top of that I was hit with a £20 customs charge. But the products are ridiculously cheap so I ended up justifying it to myself... oops.
I already own three Super Shock Shadows but I wanted to try more finishes and get a wider range of colours to play with. They only cost $5 each so I ended up buying 8 in total:
❤ Lovely
❤ Un (from the Jenn Ne Sais Quad collection)
❤ Amaze

❤ Shop

❤ Telepathy

For $5 (£3.70-ish) these shadows are an absolute steal. They're slightly hit and miss but when you find a good one, it's really good. Out of all the ones I bought, Telepathy is a definite fav but Lovely is a close second.

Colourpop also have highlighters in the same bouncy forumla as their eyeshadows. Being a highlighter junkie I had to give them a whirl and at $8 (£6) each I couldn't resist picking up 2. ❤ Hippo
❤ Wisp

Liquid lipsticks have hit the beauty community at full force this year with huge controversy surrounding Kylie lip kits and Colourpop's. I'll have a blog post up later about if I think they're all that similar or not! Colourpop seemed to get a lot of exposure with the Kylie drama and since then have grown their shade and finish range. I picked up a lip product from all their different finishes; glossy lips, lippie stix, satin lips, matte lips and their ultra metallic range. ❤ Lippie Stix in Button (satin) ($5)
❤ Ultra Metallic lip in Salt ($6)
❤ Ultra Satin lip in Alyssa ($6)
❤ Ultra Matte lip in Solow ($6)
❤ Ultra Glossy lip in Tight Fit ($6)
L-R: Button, Salt, Alyssa, Solow, Tight Fit |

Overall, the Lippie Stix and Glossy lips are the real winners for me but for the price, the metallic and satin lips are a steal. Unless there is a shade that you just must have from the matte range, I'd give them a miss and buy a Satin formula instead as on the lips there isn't much difference in the finish but they're just so much more comfortable to wear.
Have you ever tried Colourpop cosmetics? What were your thoughts? I'm tempted to do a more in depth review of these products separately as trying to squeeze everything into one blog post became a bit too much so maybe keep a look out for that.
