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.

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.
