Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be āhighly pigmentedā with an āultra-velvety and silkyā texture that is ālong-wearingā and āadheres easily to the eyes.ā 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.

I like the looks of this as a travel friendly little quad! I do have dupes spread out through a few palettes, but I may just consider this one.
I just get weak when I see colors like Boat Lyfe. I have Nars Melrose which is close but Iām liking Boat a little more from your swatch. I use Melrose as a highlighter not an eyeshadow. Really pretty. Wish it were a single.
These little monotone quads that CP regularly brings out are often really good value and rate well. This is a very pretty one.
Christine, I don’t see these on their website. Do you know when they will become available?
Ulta exclusive right now, but ColourPop usually sells Ulta exclusives a few weeks later, so any time now…
Another gorgeous quad! I genuinely love it!
