Shaaanxo Colourpop - First Impressions Review

For months now I have heard great things about the Colourpop products. So when Shaaanxo collaborated, and the shipping was finally open to Australian and NZ, I was immediately on top of this.

I purchased the Shaaanxo collaboration along with 'So Quiche' eyeshadow and 'Punky' lippie pencil and lippie stix. Each coloupop product is $5 USD each and the shipping was around $13 to Australia. 

I first have to say the packaging is adorable and great quality. It arrived in a box with a personalised note and padding to keep the products safe in transit. 

Now to the eyeshadow, the Shaaanxo set comes with 4 eyeshadows, 2 matte and 2 pearlized.

My first impression was that these shadows are amazingly pigmented and creamy. The picture below shows swatches of each colour with only one swipe in the product. However this photo does not do the colours justice. 

The pearlized shadows have the most incredible metallic finish with a sparkle to it, yet the glitter is not chunky or patchy. It is the perfect consistency and applies so well to the eye lid. I have found it is best applied with my ring finger to achieve the best pigment. 

The matte shadows are so smooth and so easy to blend, except there is no fall out. The colour just glides through the crease and creates such an amazing look with ease. I have found the best application is with a fluffy blender brush such as the Sigma E35.

For the lip products colourpop have created matching lippie pencils and lippie stix. You can purchase the matching products or be 

creative and alternate to create an ombre lip. I purchased the matching set of 'Punky.' 

The lippie pencil is very creamy and does not tug on the lips when applied. It is easy to both the line the outside of the lips or alternately fill in the entire lip surface. The colour is such a perfect pink it is not to bright but at the same time still has an intense colour pay off. 

The lippie stix is also very creamy and slides onto the lips. It matches the lippie pencil perfect and creates a perfect pink lip. I have found that with both the lippie pencil and lippie stix they have a long wearing ability and will last for up to 4 hours. However,  I have found you need to be 

careful when applying not to twist it up to far as it could likely break off.

Overall, I am very impressed with the colourpop cosmetics and the people behind it. They have great customer service and I will continue to try new products from them.
