ColourPop On a Whimsy Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
On a Whimsy
ColourPop On a Whimsy 12-Pan Pressed Shadow Palette ($18.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a new, limited edition more neutral color story with pops of green and aqua–but it was predominantly a muted, warmer-toned set of neutral eyeshadows. The palette included seven matte shades and five shimmer shades. The quality was in line with ColourPop’s eyeshadow formula: pigmented, blendable, and longer-wearing with a few shades having some powderiness/light fallout.

So Ferris
So Ferris has an icy white base with a duochrome shift from green to gold that gave it a soft, frosted finish. The texture was more loosely-pressed with a smidgen of dryness, so it applied with the least fallout when pressed onto the lid with a fingertip, which yielded mostly opaque color payoff. It lasted well 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” 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.

Merry Go Go
Merry Go Go is a light beige with warmer, almost peachy, undertones and a matte finish. It had a denser, more velvety texture that was a touch thicker, though not in a bad way, as I felt it minimized fallout that often comes along with lighter matte hues like this while keeping its mostly opaque coverage when blended out. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

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.

Main St
LELimited Edition. $4.50.
Funnel
Funnel is a desaturated, darker taupe with neutral-to-warm, more olive-leaning undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation paired with a soft, lightly powdery texture that was blendable and easy enough to work with. It wore nicely for eight hours before fading a bit on me.

It’s a cute little palette. But, a wee bit too light leaning for me, personally. Although I could certainly see it looking super pretty and fanciful on lighter folks than myself.
This is a pretty little palette with the pops of green and aqua shades to give it a lift.
I like this one; it has many wearable and pretty shades, some of which I don’t already have. This would be a nice stand-alone palette as well as a supplement to many other palettes. This has some stunning shimmers and flattering mattes. When/if it goes on discount, I may buy it.
