ColourPop x NBA Collection Swatches
ColourPop x NBA Collection debuts Friday, October 15th, at 10AM PT. The collection features six teams; each team has an eyeshadow palette, eyeliner duo, glitter gel, and makeup bag (the latter two products are not shown). Here are swatches of the palettes and eyeliners!
I don’t follow any sportball so this will be the easiest of passes.
Not into professional sports whatsoever so cannot comment on colour choices for the teams, but I do think this is a fun idea. I was very excited to see the addition of co-ordinating liners (I’m a pass on the e/s ), but the swatches are sketchy on some of the more unique shades I would have otherwise been interested in.
No Suns = no buy.
Seriously, though, this is cool for fans of those teams but mostly a bummer for those who aren’t. I like the look of the Bulls and Lakers palettes, but I would never buy anything with those teams on them!
These look nice and swatch nicely, but I cannot buy anything that represents another team! I’m a big sports fan, and a NYer, so there’s no way I’m buying any of these. CP did a nice job of getting team colors, so why not do an orange and/or blue for the Knicks?
CP is really scraping the bottom of the barrel and it shows. Some of these swatches are uncharacteristically horrendous. Easy pass.
Acorn Street and Alley Pop are just shameful. Some of those eyeshadow shades would make nice singles, though…
I had a fun time reading the toasty comments about these on instagram. I do enjoy some of the more unique color stories, but I think my money is safe. I am disturbed by that the Golden State Warrior nine pan pallette has 3 shades of matte tan in it.
Okay, so I find this particular collection to be a very weird one. I’m into sports, but for me, it’s baseball and football. And even then, I just don’t quite understand this rather bizarre concoction!
(BUT; if they ever do pro football or baseball, and let’s just say it’s the NY Giants or Yankees, who knows? I might just jump that shark!! 🤣)
I like basketball and am a Knicks fan, but I agree with you in that i love baseball and football (and hockey, too). And all three of those teams for me (Yankees, Giants, Rangers) would have similar color stories: blue, red, white and possibly grey.
Our team’s colors sure would make for some interesting eye looks, for sure! That’s why I said that I would “jump that shark”, because let’s face it, those would be nuts! Probably could still make it work, though…
There’s an episode of Family Guy where Stewie (as Zack Sawyer) is sitting in a club and they bring out a sponsored soda and he says “Peach Coke? Stop.”
That is me every time CP releases something now and somehow each release is even worse than the one before. Can they go lower than this?
So many themed collections get dragged, because the shades do not represent their inspirations. These seem far closer to the colorways of the teams than many of the throwback-to-preteen nostalgia palettes do for their characters. The Celtics palette swatches pretty well, but my green stash is pretty bloated, esp by SG. Overall the shadow swatches are pretty good, but the liners not so much. Glad to see some new liner shades, though. Hope some will be available individually.
Somehow I think that CP is running out of ideas….and each of the above eyeshadow palettes have been done before AND in better formulas.
I’m not a sports fan, and as I’m in Europe I don’t follow NBA, or NFL, or NHL. (I hope I got those right. I know I forgot probably forgot some N?L, sorry.)
Anyway, there are some nice shades among the lot of the palettes, but not enough in one palette to tempt me.
I think fans will like this release so I hope they perform well, maybe better than the team. 😉
I’m a big basketball fan, and even though I’m disappointed my team is not included (Go Pistons!) I might end up buying a palette. I really like the shades in the GSW one!
