ColourPop On the Mango Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches
On the Mango
ColourPop On the Mango Pressed Powder Shadow Quad ($9.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a new, limited edition orange-hued quad that included three matte shades and one shimmer shade. All four shades had rich color coverage, while the textures were smooth, blendable, and easy to work with.
P.S. — Mine arrived somewhat damage, which was unsurprising given how poorly packaged Ulta sends these (one thin layer of bubble wrap and the quads bounced around an oversized box for a few days!).

On the Mango
LELimited Edition. $9.00.
Mango Tango
Mango Tango is a light orange with warmer undertones and a pearly sheen. The eyeshadow had a smooth, lightly emollient texture that picked up readily with a dry brush but was best pressed onto the skin to avoid fallout. It had opaque color payoff that lasted well for eight hours on me.

Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be âhighly pigmentedâ with an âultra-velvety and silkyâ texture that is âlong-wearingâ and âadheres easily to the eyes.â 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.

Orchard
Orchard is a very light, yellowed orange with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out with ease. The texture was soft, blendable, and smooth without being overly powdery or too firmly-pressed in the pan. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be âhighly pigmentedâ with an âultra-velvety and silkyâ texture that is âlong-wearing." The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they're not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.
The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.

Cute, but there are no subtle tones to soften the strong orangey/mango eye look. A bit poor that it arrived damaged though!
Mango as a fruit/flavor: âšī¸
Mango as a color story: đ
Not as a fruit???? OH MY GOD! đ
I like it, but I really wish Chutney had a little more depth? And yet, I totally realize that the mango chutney I use in my curried chicken certainly is NOT a deep orange! If I were naming the shades, I would have designated that name to the 2nd shade, in fact.
Sweet and zesty, lacks contrast though.
