Colourpop Cosmetics Sand Collection: Now On Sale Review & Swatches

If you follow Colourpop cosmetics, you may be asking yourself "didn't the Colourpop Sand Collection come out this Spring?" And guess what? You're EXACTLY right! But don't these colors look FALL-ish? LOL Many of the collections that makeup companies came out with this year definitely had a Fall/Autum vibe. This is my FIRST Colourpop purchase! When they initially came on the scene, I was like who is this cheap makeup company!?! I dismissed them (BIG mistake). Those prices? What about the quality? Well I kept looking at and reading Colourpop reviews from my fellow blog buddy Tanya of Leopard Lace And Cheesecake and I was impressed. Everything looked great on her and she told me, Kim you have to try them. Colourpop comes out with a plethora of collections, which seems to be every week! I was trying to find one that was right for me. I follow YouTuber MesiJesiBeauty and she did a review of this collection. I was so impressed with her tutorial and explanation of things, I bought everything! THESE were my colors! The pigmentation of the blush, highlighter and eye-shadows are absolutely amazing. You can see that from my swatches below (I used Smashbox original primer on the back of my hand). Plus everything blended well! I do like the Ultra Satin Lip. It dries down as a matte, but it's mousse-y. So I didn't experience any cracking or flaking. But it will settle into fine lines if your lips aren't prepped or moisturized well. I did prefer Strip over Strut (but that's just a color preference). I don't have anything bad to say about this collection and I will buy more Colourpop makeup. I embedded MesiJesiBeauty's tutorial below (I followed her tutorial in the looks below). Mine is not exactly the same, but with more practice ;) I like her, because she takes you step by step when applying products. Eye-shadow application can be intimidating, but I'm learning a lot from her. This collection is now on sale. The prices were already cheap, so you can imagine now. Had to tell you guys about this. Have you purchased anything from Colourpop? Any recommendations? Anything you should stay away from? Let me know in the comments! Have a great weekend!
