Just, a little peek into the outer packaging. Isn’t it lovely with that cute pink color outer box with golden letters. Absolutely a gem for $16.00

The shade names are given on the flip side of the outer box.

How pretty is the palette itself – That rose theme cardboard palette front is absolutely gorgeous! Such an instagram worthy palette in itself.

The cardboard box comes with no mirror and no applicator and it also don’t have any shade names printed on the box. I wouldn’t describe it as a warm palette.

This palette contains 12 shadows which are a mix of matte, satin, and metallic finishes as you can see from the pictures. There are 4 mattes, 1 satin, and 7 metallic shadows. The palette is described as a mauve toned palette. I would say it as a cool toned palette.

Swatches and Shade details 

Ladylike: This is a metallic finish champagne shade. Great as a inner corner highlight or along with darker shades for a feathered effect.
Babe: A satin finish light peachy pink shade.
Dainty: A metallic finish warm pink
Chick: A metallic finish subtle gold shade.
Mademoiselle: metallic rose gold shade that is universally flattering. I love this to be used as an overall lid color too.
Gal: metallic red with copper duochrome effect. A very vibrant color that is perfect with Indian outfits.Very pretty shade to create a neutral effect and it goes well with a lot of darker browns, blues and purples.

With Flash

Empress: a metallic mid-tone pink plum shade. One of my favorite shade from this palette.
Filly: metallic rusty orange shade with shimmers to it.
Dear: matte warm rose. Perfect for spring looks or to be used along with silvers etc. This is a very pretty color.
Missy: matte deep burgundy. My favorite. It can be used for a variety of looks for both day and night.
Damsel: matte smokey violet. Fall look is incomplete without this shade.
Duchess: matte dusty coral shade. Again a spring-y kind of a shade. But, This along with the metallics are awesome!

Pigmentation, Longevity and Formula

All of the eyeshadows are nicely pigmented. All of them are very buttery soft in texture. Metallic finishes are my favorites and they apply beautifully as well. Some of the paler matte shades don’t have a high colour payoff though.

Richer shades kind of balanced it all out. When swatching using my fingers, I felt the ‘matte’ colors were little difficult to blend. It felt powdery. Check the picture below. This was taken when I tried to swatch matte colors using my fingers.

Using brush, they were easy to pick and it picked the colors easily and it was easy to blend and work with as well. Also, good factor that these appear awesome during both wet and dry application. Matte shades as  I said – even though on touch appeared buttery; it did give fallouts. Nothing major.

About the intensity of the color- I would say its a medium to high. The intensity can be layered up as you wish. The shade ‘Gal’ which is a little too soft and I think this color add glam to every skin tone. Overall, work with a light hand and build up the color till you are happy. I like this palette and I think it’s equally comparable to many of the high end palettes

The shades didn’t fade and stayed pretty long. I worn them for about 6-7 hours without any problem and I think it’s really a great quality for a $16 palette.

The Colour Pop She Palette retails for USD $16.00 for .85 oz of product which means roughly .03 oz per eyeshadow; 12 eyeshadows in total that equals USD $1.33 per eyeshadow. A pretty fair value for the price we pay. Considering it’s luxe packaging and the quality – I think it’s awesome!

However, I strongly feel – The shades names would have been printed on the cardboard box. I love to see the shade names along. ‘Mirror’ – I am not considering this as I don’t think it’s of no use to me at least. and majority I know don’t mind it as well. Packaging is quite sturdy and with it’s classic romantic rose packaging and the price point – It’s a great gift as well.

I feel like Colour Pop and Karrueche did a great job coming up with this unique palette. It’s always out of stock too. If you never got a chance to try it yet – Be sure tofollow colourpop’s Instagram handle. That’s where they announce most of their restock dates.

I love the fact that this palette has a mix of everything – mauve, pink, peach, plum, red and gold. These colors look great on every skintone especially deeper skintones.

This palette is a great relief from the neutral palettes that every brand have been coming out with. If you’re a fan of pinks, plums and metallics – you’ll enjoy this palette than anyone else. if you don;t like peach or pinks – I would say you should skip this palette.
