ColourPop Fresh Greens Palette Review & Swatches
Fresh Greens
ColourPop Fresh Greens 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, permanent green-themed color story designed for Target. It included five matte eyeshadows and four shimmer eyeshadows that leaned slightly more olive/muted green overall. The quality was good with the exception of one matte shade, which was moderately powdery and would benefit from an eyeshadow primer for sure.

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.

This is quite a lovely palette of greens – I really like the colour story here and the ratings are pretty good for the price.
I like quite a lot of the shades in this palette, the shimmers most of all.
I don’t think I’ll buy it, I have quite a lot of greens as it is.
This is the first time I’ve been tempted by a ColourPop palette in…a long time.
