Spellbound

ColourPop Spellbound Super Shock Cheek (Highlighter) ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a pale, icy lavender with cooler undertones and flecks of pink and lavender sparkle and glitter. It has a glitter finish, which has larger particle sparkle/shimmer and a sheer base (more coverage in terms of shimmer/sparkle). If you’re someone who loves a glittery highlighter or enjoys patting glitter on top of other cheek colors, this could be a good one to consider. The texture was smooth, lightly spongy but not overly wet, and it had good transfer from fingertips to cheekbones, so I was able to get good “coverage” via glittery bits and sparkles without having to really rub and press it on. I did find that fingertips made it easier to get an even layer of glitter on the skin compared to a brush. It wore well for nine and a half hours with very little migration.

Formula Overview

$10.00/0.15 oz. - $66.67 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "buildable" coverage and can be applied with fingertips (which will yield "higher coverage") or a brush (for sheerer coverage). It's a cream-based product that has a subtle, "wet" feel to it but never has the thickness of a true cream-based blush.

It goes on with the smoothness of a cream formulation but diffuses and blends (without lifting up one's base) more like a powder product. The product sets to a powder finish, so the product won't slide around during the day.

On me, the wear tends to be between eight and 10 hours. Most shades have medium, buildable pigmentation with some being semi-opaque to opaque on occasion. They are typically blendable, easy to use, and long-wearing.
