School is Fun
ColourPop School is Fun Super Shock Cheek ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a very light gold with warm, yellow undertones and a pearly sheen. It had a subtle finish on the skin, as it had semi-sheer, buildable coverage (up to semi-opaque) and definitely did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture or look shiny/metallic. The texture was smooth, moderately emollient with some wetness to the touch, and blended out nicely on the skin. It lasted for eight and a half hours on me.

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.

Coin Purse
ColourPop Coin Purse Super Shock Cheek ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a bright, medium fuchsia pink with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, sponge-like, and felt denser (and a little drier, but I wouldn’t describe it as dry) compared to a lot of the other shades in the Super Shock Cheek range. It had rich color payoff when applied with fingertips–as expected based on the brand’s claims–but blended out fairly readily and without too much work. The texture was easier to use over bare skin than over a base (like foundation), though. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading.

Coin purse is so pretty, but it’s out of stock!
I don’t know if it’s out of stock again, but they were supposed to restock today!
Several items are back in stock, but not Coin Purse or School is Fun. Maybe soon, who knows!
Oh yes, I have these as well! Love that School is Fun highlighter. It swatches as a yellow gold, but is a lot more subtle on the face, the finish is very forgiving. And Coin Purse is such a pretty, brightening color.
I find that most of the pearlized ColourPop cheek colors are subtler on!
While it would seem that the highlighter is a bit subtle for my taste, the blush is a beauty! If I didn’t already own Pie, I would have had to see about getting Coin Purse!
Pie is close enough!
My friend in NYC is shipping my colourpop order to her place, then sending it to me in Ontario, to save me $15/$20 shipping costs.
I got Flexitarian highlight, because it looked so beautiful on you Christine!! And I got Honeymoon (the blue highlight) before I read your review, but Rachel R? I think it was recommended a few tips so I’ll try that!! I also got LAX matte lip, and Another pot of Nillionaire, because I actually completely finished my current one!!
Long story short, I NEED School is fun, but it’s out of stock, and I already have way too many highlights for one chubby face LOL.
Can’t wait for you to get your goodies, Shannon! 🙂
Cute, not for me probably but cute.
🙂
Didn’t think I’d say it, but School Is Fun looks nice and I think I’d wear it.
Haha!
