Rhapsody

ColourPop Rhapsody 5-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($10.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a warm-toned neutral color story that included three matte eyeshadows and two shimmer eyeshadows. Four of the five shades were pigmented, blendable, and easy enough to work with (though watch out for the sparkle matte!), while one shimmer was weaker in coverage and texture.

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.

Ingredients

Symphony

Symphony is a light-medium, yellowy-gold with moderate, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was only buildable to higher coverage if applied with a fingertip. The texture was more emollient, but slightly thin, so it worked best by pressing it into place initially. It lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Episodic

Episodic is a rich, deeper yellow with strong, warm orange undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color coverage paired with a smooth, blendable texture that was easy to use as it wasn’t too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan. This shade stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

Spontaneous

Spontaneous is a bright, medium orange base with lighter, yellowy-gold shimmer throughout a metallic finish. The eyeshadow had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered evenly to bare skin as the consistency was lightly emollient and not prone to fallout. There were signs of fading present after eight hours of wear.

Compose

Compose is a muted, medium orange with warmer, yellower undertones and a mostly matte finish. There were a fair number of gold flecks of sparkle throughout, but very few actually translated to my lid, so there was minimal fallout during application but certainly could be some as they didn’t bind with the underlying powder at all. It had opaque color payoff with a smooth, blendable texture that was somewhat powdery. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Expression

Expression is a medium brown with subtle, warm reddish undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was soft, blendable, and somewhat powdery in the pan, but it wasn’t prone to fallout or sheering out too readily. It had opaque color payoff that stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.
