ColourPop Boudoir Noir Palette Review & Swatches
Boudoir Noir
Colour Pop Boudoir Noir 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($18.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, limited edition 12-pan palette that includes a mix of matte, shimmer, and glitter shades. The overall color story had a more muted, yellow-to-olive leaning to it, which made it a little less redundant compared to other neutral palettes released by the brand.
The mattes were often pigmented but moderately powdery, so I’d definitely recommend applying one’s eyeshadow ahead of base products. The shimmers were drier and/or more loosely-pressed, so they were also prone to fallout and were better applied with a dampened brush.

Deja Vu
Deja Vu is a light-medium yellow with strong, warm orange undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, more velvety texture that was lightly powdery in the pan but only had light fallout during application if I wasn’t careful to tap off excess. It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.

Goodnight
Goodnight is a light gold with strong, warm undertones and a smooth, metallic finish. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented, while the texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and blendable without being too firmly nor too loosely pressed into the pan. This shade lasted nicely for eight hours before showing signs of fading on me.

Bedtime Story
Bedtime Story has a transparent base and is chocked full of smaller particle iridescent glitter and darker, gold glitter with some larger, hexagon-shaped iridescent glitter. It did contain plastic (PET) glitter and came with a warning that it was not intended for use around the eye area, so I tested it as a cheek highlighter only. The texture was more emollient and could be pushed around in the pan but felt lightly tacky and had good dispersion when applied to the skin. It had medium to semi-opaque “coverage” from the amount of glitter in it. There was noticeable migration after seven hours of wear.

Vibin'
Vibin’ is a medium-dark brown with moderate, warm undertones and faint flecks of gold micro-sparkle over a matte finish. The texture was thinner and more firmly-pressed into the pan, which made it harder to pick up product and seemed to make the product more prone to darkening unevenly when applied to bare skin. It had opaque color payoff that wore well for eight hours before fading visibly, though there was fallout during application and later on during wear.

Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.

Nap
Nap is a medium, golden bronze with muted, warm undertones and a sparkling sheen. The eyeshadow had rich color payoff paired with a slightly drier consistency that was hard to apply to bare skin evenly–I had a ton of fallout as the product didn’t want to stick. It was better applied with a fingertip or a dampened brush. It lasted nicely for seven and a half hours before fading a bit.

Can’t wait for mine to arrive! I haven’t worn green eyeshadow in so long but Late Text is pushing my buttons!
I think this looks very versatile and while I love Colourpop a whole lot, it’s not often a new release has me buy immediately – I skipped most of the Summer releases (only got Garden Variety) and the the recent Baroque/Ornate collection didn’t excite me but as soon as this popped up, I knew I had to have it.
I was really intrigued by this palette and ordered it when it launched! its different than the usual colourpop pink / neutral releases we’ve seen lately. thanks for the review, I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
It reminds me a lot Huda’s beauty kaki haze, with the addition of a couple of yellower shades. You create such Lovely eye look though. By the way, it is so difficult to keep the pace with colourpop palettes. Really, lately it has been a new launch every week.🤷
Minus that one pressed glitter, this is everything that Huda Khaki Obsession *should* have been. I really do love how it looks in a super-duper deep smokey eye look you did!
It’s a much better palette than what we have seen of late and I do like the olive hues in this one. Just a shame that the shimmers weren’t better quality. A lovely eye look Christine.
The overall look of this palette really appeals to me but there’s that pesky PET glitter. I love a few of the shades and, fortunately, have dupes for them, so that’s all good. Hot Toddy looks so truly brown in the pan (and the name suggests it would be brown) so that deep olive shade is a nice surprise (though rich brown is nice too!)
If I got along with the CP formula, I would enjoy this one….super great color scheme.
Bummer about Bedtime Story. Aside from it (for obvious reasons) and the pink shade, I’m in to this color story.
Put biodegradable glitter in your formulas and we won’t have to avoid giving you our money, Colourpop. Or release glitter quads. Just please stop putting shards of plastic in your EYE palettes.
