ColourPop Cruel Intentions Super Shock Cheek
ColourPop Cruel Intentions Super Shock Cheek

ColourPop Cruel Intentions Super Shock Cheek ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is described as a “warm rose.” It’s a lightly brightened, medium pink with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had buildable coverage, and it applied with the most pigmentation with fingertips (exactly as described), but I had no problems using a stippling brush and using two layers for color. The texture was lightweight and blended out easily, more like a powder in that respect, and it wore for nine and a half hours on me. Too Faced Your Love is King (P, $26.00) is brighter (90% similar). MAC Happy-Go-Rosy (P, $29.00) is brighter (95% similar). Tarte Genius (LE, $29.00) is glossier (95% similar). Tarte Irreplaceable (LE, $29.00) is darker (95% similar).

ColourPop Never Been Kissed Super Shock Cheek ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is described as a “dusty coral.” It’s a muted, medium coral with a hint of pink and warm undertones paired with a matte finish. The texture was smooth, blendable, and felt like a powder as soon as it hit the skin. The color payoff was buildable, just as described by the brand, and you’ll get the most opaque coverage with fingertips while brushes will yield less coverage, but the payoff is buildable in two to three layers. This shade wore for nine hours before fading on me. NARS Savage (P, $30.00) is cooler (95% similar). Milani Coral Cove (05) (P, $8.99) is lighter, brighter (90% similar).

ColourPop Girl Power Super Shock Pressed Pigments ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a “bright red orange.” It’s an intense, medium-dark orange with warm red undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had good pigmentation with a smooth, blendable texture. It is a Pressed Pigment, and they are “not intended for use in the immediate eye area.” I’ve tested and used it as a blush, where it performed well–it blended out without issue and lasted for nine and a half hours.

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. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities!

Thank you! That’s Thursday…Oh geez their site may crash! I’m going to have to look at this like the Sephora Epic Rewards thing. I have a feeling this collection will go fast and they don’t stock real well. They do tend to restock though.

Gorgeousness! Girl Power looks too intense for me, but I’d rock the other two.

The Degree Deodorant ad keeps popping up on the bottom of the screen, and covering the bottom of posts, making them difficult to read. I’m using Google Chrome for a browser. I’m having to run Ad-Block to keep it out of the way, but I wanted to let ads run on this site.

What device?

We are in the process of having some removed, but I have been fighting with my ad network over it for two weeks now and I know that they’re not finished removing some from rotation yet, but it depends on the device, not the browser.

Good luck, Christine! The ads are overrunning your blog. There are even ads on top of ads. Today, there was a Target ad banner on top of the NRG banner. As I mentioned when I emailed you about the craziness, I’m reading your blog on an iPad. It’s really out of control 🙁

As I mentioned to you when I replied to your email as well as here, we are working on it and are doing our best. Please be understanding and give us patience – we are actively trying to debug, correct, and fix in real time, on a live site, which means that yes, sometimes ads on top of ads occur. We have always worked very hard to balance the necessity of ads and being able to run the site. Please understand that if ads are run, it is out of necessity, not greediness – unless readers would prefer us to do sponsored posts, as the industry has moved budgets to this area, and out of ads, which means we can’t lower the amount of ads and must maintain the number we had previously. The only reason they seem more prevalent is because they’re sized for your screen – so you are seeing a 300×250 ad as actual 300×250 pixels in your screen vs. a miniaturized version.

If you have concerns, please email me – we really want reviews to stay on the product as these pages last far beyond today and tomorrow. Thank you!

Cruel Intentions will be mine! Probably will get Never Been Kissed, too. All 3 shades look just right in the pigmentation department for a 90’s cheek color, as cheeks back then typically were a natural looking flush thing, if one wore blush. But these DO still POP, though softer.

Girl Power looks so nice on you, Christine!

I have to order some stuff from ColourPop. It’s so refreshing to see such good quality from a bargain brand!

Hey, I’m not sure i totally understand about the pressed pigment thing. Is it just a term that has been ‘reserved’ for meaning ‘not necessarily eye safe?’ Are specific chemicals or pigments implicated? Does it have anything to do with the common color sensitivities, like carmine, being included? This reminds me of hair versus fur on dogs, that people insist with authority + when I ask the vet, it’s usually a crock. The term ‘pressed pigment’ has become a buzzword that seems to be defined differently by different companies. ‘Pressed pigment’ seems to have no reliability or validity.

Oh my dogs….those look so incredibly gorgeous swatched on the skin…..I can just imagine how *smoothly* they apply…..I’m getting excited just imagining putting these on! Never Been Kissed reminds me very much of a limited edition Dior blush/bronzer quad I got a few years back that makes me weak in the knees every time I look at it. It’s that beautiful! And so is the Color Pop dupe for it!

Filling up another basket immediately…..early xmas shopping for myself, that’s my excuse 🙂
