ColourPop Over the Cocoon Palette Review & Swatches
Over the Cocoon
ColourPop Over the Cocoon 5-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($10.00 for 0.15 oz.) includes two shimmery shades and three matte shades across a pink/red color story. The two lighter mattes were somewhat powdery and prone to sheering out a bit/needing to be built up, while the other three shades were quite pigmented.
This palette is one of five in a holiday vault, though ColourPop said they would be available individually when I asked, but they have not appeared individually on the site. It’s not realistic for me to review it as a set (takes much longer, but I also started testing them across sets already, and the system is better setup for a palette, not five palettes within a set, for readability!), so I decided to review them individually still.

Entrance
Entrance is a muted, light rosy mauve with warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage paired with a soft, moderately powdery texture that had light fallout during application. It lasted well for seven and a half hours before showing signs of 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.

Cozyyy
Cozyyy is a medium orange-copper base with pink and gold sparkle over a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, which was more opaque when applied with a fingertip or a dampened brush. The texture was lightly emollient without being too thick or too firmly-packed into the pan. It stayed on decently for eight hours with light fallout over time.

It had rich pigmentation that lasted nicely for eight and a half hours and left a stain behind.

Another well co-ordinated set of cranberry shades, all pretty good quality.
Thankfully, this is one I can very easily dupe mostly just with ND Sunrise Midi and some other shadows here. It in itself altogether is really just TOO red/pink for me to wear all at once, though!
Ugh, I love this colour scheme, but I am quite certain I can dupe it out..
