ColourPop Throws It Back Fall 2015 Super Shock Shadows Reviews, Photos, Swatches (Part 2)
ColourPop Super Shock Shadows
ColourPop Mixed Tape Super Shock Shadow ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a “mid-tone cool grey.” It’s a medium, purple-taupe with cool undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good pigmentation with a soft, blendable texture that was easy to use and applied very true-to-pan. The wear was fantastic–there was no fading or creasing after ten hours of wear.

ColourPop Party Time Super Shock Shadow ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a “dusty mauve grey.” It’s a muted, medium-dark purple-taupe with a sprinkling of very, very fine shimmer over a matte finish. It had fairly good color payoff, while the texture had the drier (but smooth) consistency of a lot of the ColourPop’s mattes, but it wasn’t too dry; the eyeshadow still spread out without losing intensity and was easy to apply on the lid. It wore well for ten hours without fading or creasing. Too Faced Mulberry (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery, warmer (90% similar). Laura Mercier Plum Smoke (PiP, $23.00) is less shimmery, lighter, warmer (90% similar). Sugarpill Castle on the Hill (PiP, $13.00) is darker (90% similar).

ColourPop Straight Trippin’ Super Shock Shadow ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a “deep black with a slight hint of a violet hue.” It’s a purpled burgundy with warm, plummy undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a fairly blendable texture, but it ran a little drier, so it needed extra blending to ensure it didn’t look uneven or patchy when applied. The color lasted for ten hours without any fading or creasing that I could see. Too Faced Meow! (LE, $16.00) is lighter, cooler (95% similar). Tarte Glamorous (LE, ) is less shimmery (95% similar). Pat McGrath Xtreme Aubergine (PiP, $25.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). Sephora Shana (LE, ) is more shimmery, cooler (90% similar). ColourPop Jet (LE, $6.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar).

See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
ColourPop Plaid Super Shock Shadow ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a “deep blackened olive.” It’s a deepened olive green with subtle, warm khaki undertones and fine khaki and green shimmer. It was intensely pigmented with a really creamy, blendable texture that still applied with full intensity to the lid. At this point, I sound like a broken record, but after ten hours of wear, it still looked as good as it did initially applied. Clarins Forest #3 (LE, ) is warmer (90% similar). Urban Decay Hot Box (LE, $19.00) is cooler (90% similar). NARS Shade V (LE, $25.00) is lighter (90% similar). Urban Decay Cobra (LE, $19.00) is less shimmery, warmer (90% similar).

Giorgio Armani Eclipse (03) (P, $36.00) is lighter (80% similar). theBalm #42 (P, $6.50) is lighter, more muted (80% similar). LORAC Menace (LE, $19.00) is less shimmery, cooler (80% similar). Dior Bonne Etoile (384) #1 (LE, ) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Plaid is calling me, love those olive greens, and 10 hrs of wear without primer? Wow, with primer, I can probably go +15
They pretty much last until I take them off (I do not typically test for 16 hours unless that’s a specific claim — I usually go a little beyond whatever the stated claim, e.g. if it said 12 hours, I would go 13-14 hours, depending on how good it was still at 12 hours – if that makes sense!).
Hi Christine! If this makes any difference to any ladies out there, I put my make up on at 5:30 AM, wear all day, go jogging from 7:30 PM until 8:15 PM (and sweat my rear off here in Mississippi), and the colourpop eyeshadows still look the same as when I put them on!!!! They are incredible I wear nothing else anymore.
Also, as a bonus, I have found they make any eyeliner applied on top of them last longer without smearing or migration. I am obsessed.
When I received my first colourpop order this week & tested them out on my arm at work and showed the girls… after trying to get them off, without makeup remover, it was a bit difficult, I was impressed!
Wow, I’m actually really into a lot of the shades in this collection. I’ll definitely be picking up a few!
Nice to hear! 🙂 Which ones do you like the most?
Mixed Tape immediately caught my eye but I’m really drawn to plaid as well, I love the look you did with the two. I also need Stereo from the other half of your review, it just screams autumn
Mixed Taupe is amazing!
Ahha I love when you give all the products I want to buy glowing reviews. Once this drops, I am 100% picking up Mixed Tape, Party Time, & Plaid. I’m still unsure about the rest, but those three shades are must haves!
Woohoo 😀
Yeah I’m buying all of these 🙂
Enjoy the new goodies 🙂
Mixed Tape and Straight trippin are must haves for this lady here…WOW…I really love the color payoff just on the swatch….I love the eye look you created as well :). Is there a release date for these? Thanks!
August 27th
Plaid <3 I love their hammered and it looks like I'm getting this green too.
Yay! 🙂
This eye look has me fawning over here; you look absolutely mauve-alous!!! I MUST have all 4 of these magni`fe shades! Yes, a major ColourPop haul up ahead, LoL!
Aww, thank you Nancy!!
Sooo, I just placed my CP order about 15-20 minutes ago, and now I am having some concerns. It would appear that Plaid *may* have been changed into a matte??? Worried ?
ColourPop listed it as matte in the email they sent me to me (when I asked for color descriptions), so I don’t think there was any change.
Oh, thank goodness, phew! I think they must’ve missed the shimmer that they themselves put in! LoL
CoulourPop does it again! Plaid is amazing. Really they all look pretty amazing for $5! I’m totally going to be bringing back the phrase “Straight trippin’ ” around here too! 😀
Hard to beat at $5, lol!
Yay for the good grades! Mixed Tape and Party Time will be mine.
I’m so glad this batch did well!
I want them all❤️
Yay!
I might get Plaid after all. I can see it being a good base for any green eyeshadow or if I want something like UD Lounge to pull more green.
I bet it would work so well under Lounge!
Help Christine!!
I love these eyeshadows, have many and plan to buy more and while I use my fingers to put on, is there a brush you recommend to apply these with? I haven’t found a holy grail brush for these eyeshadows yet!
I use MAC 239s or 242s!
Love the Mixed Tape and Plaid colours the best. Such a great range at a fabulous price. No wonder they are so popular. Love your eye look Christine – really pretty.
Thank you so much, Genevieve!
I’m feeling conflicted over here! LOL I really love Party Time but I’m afraid it would end up making my eyes look bruised. Unless my color settings betray me, it appears to lean blue.
It is a cooler shade, but you could pair it with other colors to make it lean more or less another tone – or give it more contrast so it doesn’t look like a bruise!
I haven’t been tempted much by ColorPop, but Mixed Tape looks really interesting! Is it really possible to have too many taupes? Hmmm.
No way!
looks like another colourpop order will be made very soon .
i usually don’t gravitate towards cool shades like mixed tape & party time , but i’m liking the purple tones in them
plaid is a beauty !
i recently bought my first colourpop eyeshadows (animal & erotic) & i’m in love with the formula . i know they claim they’re not to be used for the eye area , but i’ve tried them & had no problems with staining/allergic reactions .
if anyone has suggestions for more neutral ‘everyday’ colourpop eyeshadows , please let me know !
I love how with the cream formulations, they actually go on a little lighter than the pot, so you can still see the color itself 🙂
Um, okay. Mixed Tape, though. ???
Haha!
Christine, the eye look is beautiful, but I’m a little confused. You list the shadow used as Plaid, but it looks like you used the “purple-y” shadows to create the look. Is my monitor off, or does layering Mixed Tape over Plaid make Mixed Tape look more purple? Thank you!
I applied Straight Trippin’ to the outer lid and then Plaid in the crease 🙂
Interesting – I’m confused? intrigued? (I can’t think of the word) that you can’t see the green through the purple. Regardless of my confusion, it’s a beautiful look, and I may have to add a few more of these shadows to my cart when this collection is released. lol
lol! I promise it is there though 🙂
Oy! My bank account was actually hoping this fall collection from CP would get terrible reviews across the board, so I wouldn’t be tempted. But after holding strong against the 87 shades of Flat Interior Wall Paint for Lips (sorry! LOL) and “Strobing” kits, this fall collection is making me cave in…. there goes another chunk of my money in Colourpop’s direction!
They seem to have done quite the job with the fall collection!
I’m so excited for the Fall collection from CP. Straight Trippin’ and Party Time need to be mine!
It’s a great collection!
Mix Tape and Party Time are right up my alley.
Yay!
This review forced me to head to the Colourpop site and order all of the colors here plus Central Perk. What fantastic, different colors! I love them all. How do they do it? (Both the colors and the magic pull to spend money…)
LOL! Hope you enjoy 🙂
Is party time similar to UD naked 3 Nooner?
