ColourPop Plum Szn Palette Review & Swatches
Plum Szn
ColourPop Plum Szn 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, permanent palette designed for Target. It included five matte shades, three shimmers, and one pressed glitter. Two of the mattes were too similar, in my opinion, to have in the same palette. The quality wasn’t as good as I know ColourPop to be, but if one uses primer, it should be better as the mattes just needed some extra help to build up/improve coverage.

Top Dupes
- ColourPop Candy Coated (LE, $6.00) is darker (85% similar).
- ColourPop Serenity (LE, $4.50) is less shimmery, lighter, cooler (85% similar).
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.

Not too awful. Even the pressed glitter actually just looks like a regular sparkly metallic eyeshadow due to the super fine particles. I’d use it with glitter glue primer just to be safe, though. However, I have more than enough far better performing purple palettes as it is, 2 of which ARE by ColourPop themselves! The other is by Menagerie Cosmetics, and it is EVERYTHING a purple eyeshadow lover could ever wish for!
The Menagerie Cosmetics palette, is it Flight Club?
I had to go to their site to check what they had, and I fell for that one.
Yes, Helene, Flight Club is the one! It is a purple lover’s perfection! 💜🦇💜
Not one of CP’s best and I think the brand is running out of ideas doing lots of mono colours all over again.
Juicy AF would be so pretty of it were made with fluorophlogopite or borosilicate instead…
