WOW! Thanks for putting this up, Christine…I want almost every single item! Or maybe I should say instead: thanks a lot, Christine, because there goes my $$$$!

Terri Avatar

ColourPop collections get me every time! I swear, every time I see a new one, I feel like I NEED every piece! But sadly with the CND dollar in the dumps and the cost of shipping and duty, it’s getting easier and easier to say no these days.

Nicole Avatar

These are cool shades and I’m eager for reviews. But, I think could dupe it all probably with my stash that I currently have. I like this theme and I can totally relate with these shades. I graduated high school In 1994 so I sometime feel so old when I see these “throw-back” themes and I’m like “Oh Yeah..I rocked that look already,lol!” . But, I guess I should just embrace another go round!

Angel Avatar

Even “Plaid?” I don’t think I had anything like that one! But yeah….I’mmpretty sure I have dried-up dupes of Grunge (for work) and Nevermind (clubbing) somewhere.

Nicole Avatar

Yeah..I see your point on plaid and I’m quite betaken by this quite a bit more now that I look at it on a PC monitor vs. a phone screen..darn it! Much of it is dupable. But, the names and having it all together is getting my attention!

Nicole Avatar

Haha Pteetsa! Wetseal was the jam ! It was so cheap ..little crop tops and high waisted ,knee socks for mini skirts! Yep! No, I’ve not been to UO because the one near me is actually right by a college campus. So, I haven’t shopped much there lately because the traffics is crazy.
Well, I guess we are part of the “Throwback ” era apparently ,lol! It’s all good. I guess it means we were so amazing , they decided to bring our style back!

MissJae1908 Avatar

Soooo…Colour Pop is seriously doing the most right now. I’m loving this collection! I will definitely be getting Grunge, Oh Snap, Stereo, and Plaid…maybe more. This is how you do a fall collection!

charlotte Avatar

I heard “last week of August”, not sure if that is next week (the last full week) or the week after (since Monday is still August).

Ginny Avatar

A lot of the shadows seem too similar to existing shades (I Spy/Just a Sip/Selfie/Play; Boy Band/Bandit; Central Perk/Hustle; Straight Trippin/Doe-a-Deer). Mixed Tape, Stereo and Plaid look nice though. I’d probably be interested in half the lip liners, too.

MissJae1908 Avatar

I think that most of them are still quite different from their existing collection. Check out @ColourPopCult on Instagram. They have swatch comparisons and trust me, they’re nothing alike.

Loren Avatar

So yeah, I am going to need this entire collection – but especially the super shock shadows and Contempo lippie stix. Bc I mean, come on, CONTEMPO?!?! I pretty much lived there and at Bath and Body Works in junior high 🙂 I might still have a few Contempo/Blue Asphalt relics in my closet. Thanks for posting these swatches!! 🙂 Mixed Tape and Plaid look heavenly!

markiebamboo Avatar

Was Contempo still open in the 1990s? I think of 80s when I think of Contempo. I think of Wet Seal when I think of 1990s, however who wants a lipstick called Wet Seal?

Nancy T Avatar

I am head over heels for this collection! These are TRUE 90’s shades for real. Colors I wore back when my children were little are back, and yeah, feeling nostalgic here. Love the 90’s names too! Even if Nevermind doesn’t score , I still must have it, I’ll just wear liner underneath

Rachel R. Avatar

I was watching a swatch video for this collection, and it got to Nevermind. My kids were immediately like, “You’ve got to get that one, mom!” I’ve taught them well. 😉

Nancy T Avatar

Hahaha! Yep, my two will know immediately too! They should’ve throw in a “Smells Like Teen Spirit” , now that would have been EPIC! And where is “Courtney” or “Hole”??? A highlighter called “Pearl Jam”???

Katherine T. Avatar

OMG, these names and colors are bringing back some fond (and embarrassing) memories of the ’90s ! I need at least 3 of the lippies and 3 of the shadows. And this in addition to my existing buy- list for Colour Pop stuff. Oh no, I see another MASSIVE Colour Pop haul coming….

Trina Avatar

I loved the 90s! To be young again. My 20yr class reunion is next month lol. Colourpop has sucked me in just with the name of the collection. wonder how many times I can use my birthday as an excuse to buy a makeup collection

Tessa Avatar

I am so excited! Contempo? Dazed? Grunge? POISON? Such pretty colors! Love the blush options, too. For shadow, I’m digging the looks of Mixed Tape and Plaid. Maybe also I Spy.

Yessssss my pretties. Just don’t let the lippies be dry like Toucan was…

Stacy Avatar

Christine, did any of the lippies have the finish mentioned? Are any of them in the “sheer” formula (my absolute favorite so far)?

Some of these shadows look so similar to shades already in Colourpop’s line, I’m telling myself firmly that I’ll wait for a review and some comparison swatches before placing an order. But… well dang it, Plaid, Boy Band, I Spy, Party Time, and Stereo have my name written all over them! And a couple of the lippies look so tempting… I might as well give up all pretense of being all thrifty and patient. LOL!

Genevieve Avatar

Love that Poison lipstick – quite a unique colour and it looks lovely on you too Christine.
The only eye shadows that I loved were Mixed tape and Plaid. Gorgeous.

MichelleChefNYC Avatar

Literally all the lips, the cheeks and half the eyeshadows… Damn it Colourpop! This hits such the right note for me, makes me nostalgic for the 90’s

LilyM Avatar

looks very cool! Any idea when colourpop plan to roll out shipping to the UK? The website feels like it’s been stuck on ‘shipping internationally soon’ foreverrr :/

Bonnie Avatar

oooooh I love the 90s!! I’m loving Plaid, Mix tape, Stereo, Girl Power and Grunge!!! wow Colourpop just keeps rolling out the goods! I really hope they come out with eyeliner next! (and I hope theyre amazing shades and quality!)

Alecto Avatar

I really like Poison. Spy seems like it might be just different enough from my other Super Shock near-skin-tone mattes to be worth a go (sort of the orange equivalent of the pink In A Pickle … if that makes any sense). Party Time … maybe. Central Perk looks halfway between Hustle and Hunger, with maybe a touch of Bandit. Stereo and Mixed Tape are both very pretty — and interesting — but I have dupes for both from indie companies. Grunge is really interesting in that I’ll look at it once and really like it, then I’ll look again and really not, and I keep going back and forth. I was a child of the 80’s, so other than Grunge and Central Perk, I don’t recognize any of the references.

Emiloutre Avatar

Oh boy, some of this looks good… I didn’t think I would be excited but those first few lippies look really nice (especially Grunge!). The quality of the eyeshadows seems a little unconsistent, but the colour of Straight Trippin’ is unusual (in a good way!), looking forward to seeing it in action.
Cheers from Switzerland

Eva Avatar

Christine, when will these be launched? Mixed Tape Super Shock Shadow, Party Time Super Shock Shadow, and Contempo Lippie Stix are definitely added on my keep-growing ColourPop list.. Those three are the most interesting ones for me cause I don’t have eyeshadow and lipstick in that kind of color yet, lol..

Sarah Avatar

Straight Trippin’ is the only thing I can see myself getting here, a lot of it seems like I could live without OR it’s already something I have a similar colour in. But Colourpop is still doing a lot of great things with their releases, they seem to have something new constantly but there isn’t any suffering in their product formulas themselves! Love these guys.

They missed a great pun with the name of Mixed Tape, though.. Mixed Taupe ;’)

Eva Avatar

Mixed Tape Shadow, Party Time Shadow and Contempo Lippie Stix are definitely added to my ever growing ColourPop list. Those three are my favorites because I don’t think I have that kind of color for eyeshadow and lipstick in my stash yet, lol…
