ColourPop x Ulta Holiday 2019: Butter Me Up Palette + Flying Hi Trio Swatches
ColourPop’s Butterfly Collection also saw the launch of Ulta-exclusive palettes and Super Shock trios. I’ve divided them into three parts as the trios seem to be coordinated with the three palettes (and everything together seemed like it would be too much for one post). This post features the Butter Me Up palette along with the Flying Hi trio.Ā Each palette includes two Pressed Glitters and one or more Pressed Pigments, while each trio includes one Super Shock Pigment (all of these come with a warning that they are not intended for use on the eyes).
Interesting colors, but I’m still not sure why Colour Pop is releasing the pressed glitters in their palettes not meant to be used on/around the eyes. I see they get around that in marketing by calling it a pressed powder palette, rather than an eye shadow palette, but still. After the feedback they’ve been getting, you would think they’d rethink releasing more. I also wonder what pigment they have in Fleet versus Paradiso and On A Whimsy (since the formulas look similar) that makes it unsafe for eyelid use.
While the palette sure does look very interesting, color story wise, it’s a no-go for me due to the pressed glitter shades. Same goes for the SSS trio. One of them is an obvious glitter shadow. I do wish ColourPop would STOP doing this. I’m losing interest in the brand because of their insistence on including pressed glitter shades in almost every single release recently!
I love the color story on this one. I ordered it.
I keep coming back to looki at the swatches, but Iām getting a Nabla Poison Garden vibe so trying to say no. ?
Yeah, I can see the similarity.
Golly gosh Christine – what an avalanche from CP. Take your time over these as I think people either love the colour story or dislike it and will not purchase anyway.
As to the palette, it is either pinks/reds or silvery with some brown shades thrown in – it doesn’t seem very cohesive to me.
Love it, but for the glitters
Fleet, Paradiso and On a Whimsy are all so lovely!
