We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews.

The swatches look pretty good, but when the offerings come at such a dizzying pace, my head spins like the Exorcist. I think CP fatigue is a true makeup phenomenon.

Yup. Plus Dario Argento and Mario Bavaria Gialli. Profondo Rosso/Deep Red, with David Hemings as a beautiful young man, unlike his less than svelte aged self. It is said that women let themselves go…..they have serious competition from DH. Oy.

Oh gosh…me too! I was afraid to catch sight of myself in a mirror for weeks, honestly fearing demons could have turned my face into the face of the girl in the movie (and I was a teen at the time, not a child).

Thanks for getting these swatched and posted so quickly, Christine! I know I don’t need these, and thought perhaps I would get only my sun sign, rising sign and moon sign (I had a friend years ago who did my astrological chart), but now I want them all. Is it my imagination or are these quads a superior quality compared to the typical CP formula (which IMO is still good for the price point)?

You’re right. They do look like top shelf CP. It’s risky to do zodiac. Bite also got similar reactions. ‘Not what I see as the color(s) for X/my sign.’

What I like about quads is that it forces a focused selection of colors. These look nice! Categorization themes don’t capture my interest generally but these make me wonder how’d they’d design quads around the 16 personality types lol.

!!!!!!!! Great first product set for your m/u company. UD had some split bullets w/ DSM names. I had Manic/Depressive. You’d never get away with that names of mental health issues these days. Probably a good thing.

A Myers-Briggs set would be original! I’d buy it. What pretty eye candy! I love the color stories all put together. Looking forward to the reviews.

Libra is my zodiac sign but it’s NOT for me at all. Capricorn is really “my” sort of quad; even Aquarius is more to my liking but Libra – just like BITE (I think it was BITE that did the signs of the zodiac lippies), this is a total NO for me.

I NEVER like the colours cosmetics companies come up with for Leo. Yeah, I know it has a fire sign and lions are golden, but do they always have to do some variation of warm golds, yellows, browns and oranges. I really like Cancer, Virgo, Libra, and maybe Scorpio’s colours. Heck, I’d even wear Aquarius and Pisces over mine. Guess I’m just now a brown warm neutrals kind of gal.

Wow ColourPop…maybe…maybe slow down? Maybe stop for a month? Or maybe just a week. Can you take a week off?

The astrology theme has been played to death, and I’m bored with it. And this is coming from an amateur astrologist.

Jo Avatar

I love these! I’m an Aries and I’m not sure if I could pull those colors off, but they certainly represent a fire sign well, and I like it better than the other fire sign palettes.

Agona Avatar

Man, my last CP of their new collection hasn’t even shipped yet and they released another. Slow down! It’s not even holiday releases yet!!

Kate Avatar

These are SO pretty; really impressed with the swatches. I like the idea with throwing one or two of these in a bag for travel (if we ever do that again).

Taurus in particular is calling to me with that green.

Pisces is not my style but would be my pick for the prettiest single palette here.

Genevieve Avatar

OMG – why does CP release so many at one time? Just a few would be fine. The brand is certainly loving the quad format lately.
I just find that so many look similar to earlier releases, with perhaps one change in shade. The produsion of mattes in them doesn’t make them appeal to me though.
The swatches look fairly good.

Angela Avatar

Ugh… I’m SO SICK of ♈ being represented by “fire” & the orange and red toned shades already!! 😭
Why can’t we get colors that represent the actual RAM? There’s plenty of beautiful nuetral shades that would represent ♈🐏 ( Aries) very well!!! Have so many of these “zodiac sign” palettes and they all look exactly the same. Reds, orange, terracotta, burnt oranges, maybe a deep brown occasionally. 🙄

Brooke Avatar

I love the theme but am so tired of Scorpio always being purples and pinks that I’ll never wear. I know some people love them and I’m sure this will sell because it is pretty, but just ONCE I’d really like to see my sign with something neutral but able to be super sultry/smoky. JUST ONCE. LOL
