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.

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.
