ColourPop Golden State of Mind Eyeshadow Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
Golden State of Mind
Colour Pop Golden State of Mind 15-Pan Shadow Palette ($26.00 for 0.53 oz.) is a new, limited edition eyeshadow palette that features 15 shimmery eyeshadows. The brand described the formula as “super-pigmented” that have “one-stroke metallic intensity.” They advise using “flat and firmer brushes” for “the most color payoff.” Some shades are more glittery/sparkly with a looser press whereas others felt denser, creamier, and were more metallic. The latter applied better without any tricks, but the more sparkly shades applied better with a dampened flat brush. I found they wore pretty well on their own (without an adhesive base or primer), though. This palette will be most suitable for someone who enjoys pairing palettes together, as there are no mattes here and not much variety in finish. I think some of the light and mid-tone shades are a bit too similar and would have loved a few deeper shades instead.

Golden Egg
Golden Egg is a medium peach with warm undertones and a frosted finish. The texture was thinner and did not seem to adhere as well as other shades did in the palette–it was a bit dry and while it was still semi-opaque on the skin, it did not build up well and seemed to lose its shine after a few minutes, too. The color stayed on (after that initial fading) for seven hours on me.

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.

Pay the Piper
Pay the Piper is an icy, bluish white with cool undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that wasn’t buildable without using a dampened brush or tacky base. The texture was soft, slightly flaky, so there was some excess product kicked up in the pan and some fallout during applicatio if I wasn’t careful. It wore well for seven and a half hours with slight fallout.

Zero Clue
Zero Clue is a light-medium yellow with warm, orange undertones and a frosted sheen. The texture was soft, slightly loose in the pan, and it did not apply as evenly as I wanted it to with a dry brush. If I used it with a dampened brush, it did go on a lot better, though. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that stayed on well for eight hours with slight fallout.

Unsupervised
Unsupervised is a muted, medium peach with warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single pass. The texture was soft, slightly loose in the pan, but it was blendable and applied fairly well to bare skin. It lasted for eight hours on me before fading.

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.

Lust in Time
Lust in Time is a medium, coppery brown with warm, orange undertones and a metallic sheen. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, but it looked significantly different from the pan–far lighter and warmer. The texture was soft, blendable, and smooth, which made it easier to use. It wore well for eight hours on me.

Mind Tricks
Mind Tricks is a medium-dark, purple-leaning tuape with a glittering, metallic finish. It had rich pigmentation that applied fairly evenly to bare skin, but the texture was chunkier and denser, so it did have fallout during application (even when I tried to take care to avoid it). It lasted for eight hours but had some fallout during wear.

Heads or Tales
Heads or Tales is a dark, reddish copper with warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had rich color payoff, but the texture was chunkier and a bit dense, so it worked better with a dampened brush, which enabled it to smooth out and adhere more evenly to bare skin. This shade stayed on well for eight hours on me.

Tinker Time
Tinker Time is a medium, golden brown with a pearly sheen. It had good pigmentation, though it wasn’t quite opaque, with a drier, firmer texture that also felt thinner compared to most shades. I liked it better with a dampened brush, as that helped to blend out the edges more. The color started to fade on me after seven and a half hours of wear.

The colors are beautiful, but a palette of all metallic/shimmery shadows isn’t what I need right now.
I agree with Christine. 3 medium copper tones is a bit overkill. I would have loved to see some deeper shades, pops of color, or a few mattes to give the palette more versatility, although I still think it’s a great product for the price – especially paired with any of the great matte palettes out there.
I believe all the Sephora CP editions are on CP’s site, should you feel like not patronizing Sephora. Just an FTI.
Yet another palette full of warm shades. And being all shimmers means I’d need to use another palette with it. The price is nice, though.
I was really excited for this palette but found several of the shades hard to work with, and I don’t really do overly involved makeup! But I’m loving the combination of Zero Clue and Uptight on myself today. I was slightly disappointed with the pigmentation right out of the pan but the price is so reasonable I’m not that mad about it!
While in Sephora during the first half of their VIB Rouge sale, I nearly bought this. But there were only a few shades that were very different from anything I already have, and so I passed it up. I may still get it, but kinda silly for just 3 or 4 very interesting shades, I’m thinking!
ColourPop was excluded during the sale, so not to worry there 🙂
When I first saw this palette on IG I was sure I was going to pick it up. The price, the colors, etc. were really pretty. Then I noticed how many really pale shades there were and while the pigmentation on some was good, on others, not so much. I finally decided to skip this one.
Yeah, I was initially quite disappointed when I received mine – there are some texture issues but I can make it work (damp brush or fingertip) and some of the shades aren’t quite what I thought they would be but I’ve only used it a few times so far… I want to love it but it has it’s issues.
Semi-Precious on the other hand, was fan-frigging-tastic!
I bought this from Sephora, tried out 3 different looks over 3 days, then returned it. Most of the colors were way too hard to work with even after wetting a flat brush with setting spray. The fallout didn’t bother me because i expected it with this palette. I just wish it worked better without all of the effort. The colors didn’t go on evenly and many of them look similar once on the lid.
I’ll take Can’t Stop by itself! Haha!
Meh. Only two colors spoke to me
It’s a pass.
But I’m more excited about All I See is Magic & Dusk till Dawn holiday sets.
Hmm – I think you are quite correct in your assessment of this palette Christine – too many similar shades, all the same kind of finish (a tad lazy on the part of Colour Pop not to vary the finishes) and lacking some deeper shades for contrast.
Why do all the palettes out at the moment need to be so sparkly?
I’m just not very excited about this palette.I bought their new glitter cream eyeshadows that are similar to the Stila Glitter and Glow but everything else they released since merging with Sephora hasn’t spoke to me.
Love it. I’m trying to spend more on mattes for a bit though if I get any shadow.
This palette I got half off directly from colourpop and I still don’t know what it is but there is a excessive fallout from all the shades and I do if over the top looks with glitter all the time and I never had this much fa llout like glitter ends up all over my face. Any recommendations from preventing this from happening
Hey Victoria,
How are you applying them? In general, applying with fingertips or using an adhesive base (like glitter glue) will minimize fallout with more glittery eyeshadows.
