This is a taupey-beige color with a lovely metallic sheen (no glitter). This is very much a "one and done" type of shadow - perfect for work or days where you're just feeling lazy. I wore this to work, working in some grays and peaches into the crease and got a ton of compliments at work - shades like this really seem to make my eyes seem bigger. The formula in my pot did seem a tiny bit drier than other CP shades that I have, but that had no impact on the performance of the shadow. Like all of CP shadows, this is very long-wearing - 12+ hours before it even begins to slightly fade.

I purchased Piggy Bank and Prance in my most recent CP haul, and had to try this color out as I love purples. What I was particularly looking for was a purple that was a vegan formula, as most purple shades have carmine in them, and cause my eyes to have an allergic reaction. This color is SUPER pigmented - it reminds me of the lighter purple shade in the Urban Decay Electric palette - it's a bright fuschia-y purple, very creamy, smudgeable and extremely long lasting. This did not migrate from my waterline all day long. When it did come time to remove my eye makeup, this did stain my waterline and upper lash line and the stain was still there the next day - so that's why I am knocking this down one star. Otherwise, great formula - I will definitely be purchasing in the black and brown varieties - and you can't beat the price for this staying power and the fact that you don't have to sharpen the pencils!

I have somehow become a bit of a highlighter hoarder, but what I was discovering is that the highlight shades I have been purchasing would quickly change my skin tone when I got highlight-happy. I really wanted a shade that was just a wash of luminosity without emphasizing my pores - something more along the white-gold spectrum rather than champagne or darker. After researching the other shades in the line, I settled on this one and I couldn't be happier. This gives me just the right hint of shimmer without looking like a disco ball or that my cheekbones are a different color than the rest of my foundation. I find this formula to be very long-wearing and buildable. I usually set my face first with powder, then apply this to the tops of my cheekbones with a damp makeup sponge - I have had no issues with it looking cakey or strange (since this is kind of a cream to powder formula). Absolutely lovely, awesome, and the right price. ColourPop can do no wrong in my eyes 🙂

I purchased this one mostly because of the cause - and I ended up loving the shade. It is a bit of a light color and won't really show up on your lids without really building it up - would be great as an eyebrow or inner corner highlight. It's a peachy pink that is almost a duochrome (I'm a sucker for duochrome...anything). I think this shade may be discontinued now - or will be discontinued soon.

The color appears dark in the pan, but really sheers out upon application. This color is beautiful and a very glowy blush - I WILL be repurchasing when I run out of this. I was scared to wear a pink blush as my skin gets red during the day, but this is very natural looking. I like to apply mine with a Real Techniques stippling brush - I press/stamp rather than rub it onto my skin. I do set my foundation first with powder before applying this, and have had no issues with this getting cakey or looking strange. Highly recommend!
