Goodness gracious! It's been a hot minute (I hate that saying)! I've been so busy unpacking and trying to keep up with a seven month old that the ol' blog hasn't gotten as much love as it used to. I have, however, been keeping up with the newest releases and am back with some swatches and a review of ColourPop's new spring line "Pastel Punch". I only grabbed three shadows but I plan on buying the rest of the collection along with their new highlighters when they come out. RIP my poor, poor wallet!

Pastel Punch Flux, Bites & Hello
  • Flux - (a matte light mint green) Oooooh girl.  Mint + matte = one happy chick. While it's a teensy bit on the chalky side, it's still smooth, opaque, easy to work with and blend out. Like with all of ColourPop's shadows, it has the unique consistency of a cream but applies like powder. It's magic, I tell ya!
  • Bites - (a matte white) Finding a nice, opaque white without it fading on the lid is like the unicorn of the beauty world - incredibly hard to find. While this follows in Flux's footsteps and is a bit chalky too, I find it to be perfectly opaque and workable. 
  • Hello - (a matte soft yellow) Sa-woon! This is the most perfect butter yellow. It isn't as opaque in one swipe as the other two but it is buildable. It's also less chalky then Bites and Flux.

A little festival-inspired eye look!
