Party Time

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). Sugarpill Castle on the Hill (PiP, $13.00) is darker (90% similar).
