ColourPop Sip Sip Hooray Super Shock Shadows Reviews & Swatches
It's a Vibe
ColourPop It’s a Vibe Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium coral-orange with warmer, more orange-leaning undertones and flecks of pink and gold sparkle that gave it a more “glittery” finish (without containing plastic glitter!). The texture was emollient to the touch, lightweight and thin, while still distributing even, opaque coverage to bare skin with a fingertip or a flat, synthetic brush. It wore well for 10 hours with slight fallout over time.

Formula Overview
$6.00/0.07 oz. - $85.71 Per Ounce
ColourPop Super Shock Shadow is a cream-based formula that comes in a multitude of shades and finishes. The more metallic shades have the most slip to them (they have a “wetter” feel), while the more matte ones have a firmer, more clay-like consistency. Almost every shade I’ve tried from ColourPop has been exceptionally long-wearing (10+ hours of wear, usually there until I remove, even 14 hours later). The pigmentation can vary from shade to shade, but the average shade is quite pigmented.
From feedback I’ve seen from readers, many love them but some don’t like them at all. They aren’t a traditional cream eyeshadow, as they are denser (more sponge-like), and they apply best with flat, firm, synthetic brushes (I like the MAC 242 and 249) for me. The brand recommends using fingers for the most pigmented application, but I’ve only felt that fingers were necessary on a few shades (usually the super glittery ones).
The more matte shades can be on the drier side and vary from medium to opaque in coverage, though they're often buildable. They can be a little hard to diffuse the edges of, though some are lovely to work with.
The more glittery shades have been the weakest to me, as they can be sheerer or harder to apply. Sometimes, they are more pigmented and work like the other finishes in the formula, but often, they are sheerer and only function well patted on top of more pigmented eyeshadows to add glitter. They do, however, tend to have little fallout over time with the occasional shade having a more moderate amount of fallout (but still less fallout than most powder eyeshadows with glitter).

Loungin'
ColourPop Loungin’ Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light-medium, bronzy plum with warmer undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges without having fallout. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and emollient while being thin and quick to dry to a powder-like finish on my skin. It stayed on nicely for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.
