ColourPop Candy Floss Super Shock Highlighter Review & Swatches
Candy Floss
ColourPop Candy Floss Super Shock Cheek (Highlighter) ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) has more of a translucent base and a mix of finer and larger-sized pearl and sparkle that was silvery-white and iridescent. The finish appeared smoother in practice than it seemed it would when swatched, but it was a sparkly highlighter with larger flecks of visible sparkle, which I know appeals to some and not to others.
The consistency felt smooth, slightly wet to the touch, but it quickly turned to a more powder-like consistency when it came into contact with skin. The product applied well with fingertips and felt like it was harder to apply it evenly with a brush. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation applied with a fingertip and fairly sheer coverage applied with a brush–a little less pigmented than marketed. It wore well for nine hours but had light migration from the larger sparkles over time.

Not bad, but if much rather have the one from the other day that you reviewed. Unfortunately, that other one, Lantern something, is all sold out. I really do hope that ColourPop restocks it!
Unfortunately Nancy – CP doesn’t always stock the good products – and the Lantern highlighter was just beautiful. I hope they do.
I think this is more of a highlighter for cool toned complexions – so it’s refreshing to see one this pretty.
