ColourPop So Fly Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
So Fly
ColourPop So Fly 9-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($14.00 for 0.3 oz.) is a new, limited edition and Ulta-exclusive palette (at least, for now!) that includes five matte eyeshadows (though one had some sparkles) and four shimmer eyeshadows. There was a good amount of contrast between depth and finish, though I don’t think it encapsulates a dragonfly theme to the best of the brand’s abilities from a color story perspective. The eyeshadows were, generally, pigmented, blendable, and longer-wearing with a few shades being more prone to fallout.

Flight Path
Flight Path is a very light, yellowy gold base with pink pearl throughout. It had semi-opaque color payoff that could be opaque if applied with a dampened brush or a fingertip. The texture was soft, more loosely-pressed, and had a touch of fallout during the initial application. It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit.

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.

Sky Dive
Sky Dive is a light-medium, yellowy-peach with warm undertones and faint pink micro-sparkle throughout. The texture was on the thicker side, and it was not as easy to pick up with a dry brush nor as readily smoothed out on my lid. It had opaque color payoff that lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Dragon Tale
Dragon Tale is a darker beige with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well, though the texture was noticeably firmer/stiffer to work with and I had to push at the surface a bit to pick up product. It stayed on well for eight hours before showing signs of fading.

You pretty much summed up my thoughts on the very un-dragonfly color combo here. I’ve seen various shades of green and lilac purple, not much else, though. At my Mom’s old home in Surprise AZ, there were always lilac purple ones with iridescent green/purple/pink wings down at the pool. It was so cool when one would light on our toes or pool noodle!
Wing Tip is definitely the hero of this palette, that is filled with very popular and predictable shades from CP. Nice, but like so many of the brand.
