ColourPop Flower Power Blush Review & Swatches
Flower Power
ColourPop Flower Power Pressed Powder Blush ($12.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a medium pink with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. The texture was denser, more velvety than as powder-like as some of the brand’s other powder blushes are (which often are sheerer and a little dry to the touch).
The brand’s blush formula is touted as buildable, and I’d argue this was nearly opaque in coverage, so one needed to use a lighter hand to pick up less product for more buildable coverage. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly on my skin.

Formula Overview
$12.00/0.28 oz. - $42.86 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly" and have a "natural and healthy flush" that has "long wear" and "can be layered to your desired intensity." It is a lightly to moderately powdery powder blush with semi-sheer to semi-opaque, buildable color payoff. The consistency has a drier, thinner feel and though it feels silky to the touch, I found it the type of powder blush can be tricky to blend out evenly on the skin, depending on one's skin type or base preferences. The drier the skin/base, the better the formula would blend, but any natural oils or slip caused the blush to go on unevenly and was difficult to blend out. The wear was between seven and eight hours on me on average.

Love the color and the cosmos flower design from the game! 🥰
Christine — I’ve searched your site for where you list where you get your earrings and I’ve been hunting all over for the specific pair you’re wearing in these pics! I cannot find where you say you got them 🥺 do you remember by any chance? They’re my favorite on you and I’m lemming so hard!!
Hey Krastins!
These are from Ted Baker, so they were limited edition. You might be able to find them if you google, maybe on eBay or a resale site 🙁 They were called Ted Baker Fuchsia Drop Earrings.
You are the best, thank you!
Still thinking of you and your recent loss, I hope you are starting to heal if even just a little ❤
You must find this constantly Christine: the brand says A, B, C about their product and you, in a reviewing role, find the product is more like X, Y, Z. It’s as if whoever writes the descriptions has never tried using the product…
CP’s blushes tend to be good value, and so too is this one. It does look densely packed in the pan and I think with such a vibrant shade, one would have to use a lighter hand to apply.
It’s so strange sometimes how a brand will describe a product, lol!
Twice duped in my stash, but I still think it’s a beauty if one doesn’t have anything like it!
