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.

Pretty nice for a spring palette! However, I’m actually looking at a *potential* bundle or palette from SG that is way more spring-like. Giving me 🦄🧚🧞 vibes!
A pretty spring palette with the neutrals and the pops of colour. Shame it has the PET glitter in it though.
Again, concur with your Genevieve! I really like this little palette with the ever-so-subtle twists in the colors of the shimmers, but Thrive is out (although I could use it, I’m not much of a glitters person).
I have never bought a color pop palette.. I am exhausted just watching all the releases and I notice EVERY YB declutter – they start with CP first! they just seem to overkill it.. thus cheapening the brand
I agree. And it seems to be the same shades over and over. I’m a makeup packrat, so it’s difficult for me to declutter. But if I can get myself to do it, I have about 10 CP palettes that I will probably never use again.
First palette they’ve don in a while that I’d consider as a few of the colors are as easy a dupe as I thought at first. Really like “Full Sun” and “Feelin’ Grounded”!
