The ColourPop So Very Lovely Palette is the first new palette I have purchased since last year. Sometimes when looking at new releases, I’ll mentally go through what I already have and think of what I have that might be similar. What came to mind first was the original ABH Norvina Palette just because of that one pop of cool toned lavender. The shades in that palette are different but the concept is similar.
I bought these some time last spring out of curiosity to try a new brand and because each palette had a couple of shades that seemed like things I didn’t already have. Specifically, Venom, Alchemy 2.0, and Bucolic Baby were the shades that caught my eye from Wild Berry. Metropolitan didn’t call to me as much but in that one, Nothing Personal, and Alaska were the shades I thought would be unique to my collection. In this post I included comparison swatches for those shades in an effort to see if they were actually things I didn’t already have.
The Menagerie Cosmetics Pastel Pup Palette contains 12 shades of eyeshadows and pressed pigments. There is a total of 24 grams of product and it retails for $36.
Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipsticks come in 10 shades, contain 2.8 g / .098 oz, and retail for $22 each. From swatching, these are definitely sheer and feel smooth and not sticky on the lips. They are a little thicker in texture than I imagined they would be but not enough to be uncomfortable.
These six shades are Makeup Geek’s most recent addition to their eyeshadow line. They are calling them their “Soft Focus” shades. I thought they would be more pastel when I first saw them online but they are a bit on the brighter side. I’m not mad about it. Looking forward to playing with these.
The ColourPop All Things Equinox Palette is a relatively cool-toned palette featuring some lilac and mauve shades along with a couple of subtle duo-chromes.
The ColourPop She’s Got Solstice Palette is a very warm toned palette containing quite a few peachy coral shades, a pale greenish-gold, two duochromes and a sparkly topper shade. It is exclusive to Ulta, retails for $14, and contains a total 9 grams / 0.3 oz of product.
Maybelline Lifter Glosses are supposed to hydrate lips with hyaluronic acid and make them look fuller. They come in 10 shades, contain 5.4 ml / 0.18 fl oz of product and retail for around $6.99 each. I currently have 8 out of the 10 shades.
The Ofra Sweet Dreams Signature Palette contains 5 shades inspired by their Pillow Talk Highlighter. There is a total of 10 grams / 0.35 oz of product and it retails for $32.
