ColourPop Forget Me Not & Drop of a Hat Super Shock Cheek Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Forget Me Not
ColourPop Forget Me Not Super Shock Cheek ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a light-medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. There were a few larger sparkles in the finish, but it wasn’t truly glittery. The texture was smooth, thin without being dry or difficult to use, and felt slightly wet to the touch. It had good pigmentation when applied with fingertips–which is as marketed–and medium, buildable coverage that blended out easily along the edges. It highlighted the skin with a noticeable, luminous sheen but did not emphasize my pores or my skin’s natural texture. The highlighter/blush lasted for ten hours on me.

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.15 oz. - $53.33 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "buildable" coverage and can be applied with fingertips (which will yield "higher coverage") or a brush (for sheerer coverage). It's a cream-based product that has a subtle, "wet" feel to it but never has the thickness of a true cream-based blush. It goes on with the smoothness of a cream formulation but diffuses and blends (without lifting up one's base) more like a powder product. The product sets to a powder finish, so the product won't slide around during the day. On me, the wear tends to be between eight and 10 hours. Most shades have medium, buildable pigmentation with some being semi-opaque to opaque on occasion. They are typically blendable, easy to use, and long-wearing.

Drop of a Hat
ColourPop Drop of a Hat Super Shock Cheek ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark reddish copper with subtle, warm undertones and a golden shimmer. It had medium, buildable color coverage with a very smooth, lightly emollient texture–it felt slightly “wet” compared to some of the Super Shock Cheeks (but was consistent in feel with their more metallic finishes). It was easy to apply with fingertips or a synthetic, stippling brush, as it blended nicely and did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. The blush lasted for over ten hours on me.

Oh, yay. Pretty sure Drop of a Hat is in my cp haul. Only one dupe, at 80. Good. It fits with the ‘adjacent’ colors….ooops COLOURS… and will suit lots of summer looks. CP does a mean coppery shade. Ooooh, foresee this and Bardot in frequent rotation.
Only one dupe, wow! Not bad at all 😉
I bought this but haven’t worn it yet. Glad to have it!!!
Yay!
Wow, Drop of A Hat is stunning! Christine, the View All Dupes button isn’t linking to the dupes
It’s fixed now!
Wow no close dupes for Drop of A Hat! Might need to go back and get that one
Girl your eye look!! *O*
🙂
Can/would you do a tutorial on this eye look? It straight up made me drop everything the second I saw it! <3
Sorry, I don’t do tutorials!
Oooh, Drop Of A Hat looks utterly amazing! But then of course I would love it, given my penchant for these type of shades. It makes me think of how it looks when I use both MAC x Taraji P Henson cheek products together, but with a pinch of berry?
Definitely in that type of vein, I think, when layered!
They’re both pretty, but I really like Forget Me Not but I don’t like sparkles on my face, so I’m not too sure about getting it.
I saw Boba in your dupes. I had wanted that one so badly, but it sold out almost instantly and never came back. I have no idea why. I was late to the party with Brills, Lippie Stix and when I got it I loved it, and then they discontinued it before I could get some backups. Sigh.
I was THIS close to buying Drop of a Hat the other night, but then I saw the free shipping was just for the US, so I put off making an order!!
I’ll be making a colourpop order very soon, and Drop of a Hat will 100% be in that order though!
I find them both very pretty and have them on my wishlist for later on.
Both of these are really pretty. Drop Of a Hat reminds me off a lighter version of Jelly Fish.
Drop of a Hat is a universally lovely shade and great ratings too for the price.
I too love Drop of a Hat and your eye look hit it out of the park!
Both look great. I really should get some of their blushes, though I have so much blush now I don’t know what to do with it.
