ColourPop Digital Playground Palette Review & Swatches
Digital Playground
ColourPop Digital Playground 5-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($10.00 for 0.15 oz.) includes three matte shades and two shimmers in a coral and fuchsia-themed color story. The shimmers were a little drier than typical for the brand, while the mattes were as expected–a little powdery but pigmented, blendable, and easy enough to work with.

Juicy
Juicy is a bright, light-medium coral-orange with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was somewhat powdery in the pan, but it maintained its full color coverage when applied to bare skin and blended out. It wore nicely 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." The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they're not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.
The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.

Love and Warhol (Digital Playground)
Love and Warhol (Digital Playground) is a deeper fuchsia pink with subtle, cool undertones and sparkles over a more matte finish. It had rich pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well, though the sparkles didn’t translate much (or else resulted in fallout). The texture was soft, a little powdery so I’d recommend using a lighter hand when working with it. There were signs of fading after eight and a half hours of wear, though it left a stain behind after removal.

Love and Warhol (Digital Playground)
LELimited Edition. $4.50.
99
99 is a light-medium pink with moderate, warm undertones and lighter, peachy-gold shimmer that gave it a frosted finish. The texture was soft, almost spongy, but it was drier and a little thicker, which made it more prone to fallout. It was easier to work with using a fingertip or a dampened brush in order to minimize fallout and get more even, opaque coverage. It lasted well for seven and a half hours before fading noticeably.

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.

Just too piiiink for me! But, the quality is good, so I’m sure some will love it!
I have so many bright pinks that I may be able to dupe it . But I do like the color stories of these Y2k palettes.
Waaay too pink for me too and CP’s obsession with this shade continues – at least the quality is pretty good.
As others have said, waaaay too pink for me too. I just can’t imagine going out in public wearing shades like these (no insult intended to those who love this sort of look).
I ordered it based on the swatches. Didn’t wait for the review. I love pink eyeshadow. I tired to dupe these from my collection and couldn’t.
