It's 2017 and Colourpop Cosmetics have stepped up their game BIG TIME for the past couple of months. Ultra Gloss, Ultra Satin, Brow Gels, Contour sticks, and the latest, their first ever eyeshadow palette -- they've blown my mind with their collections after collections that I wish I could get my hands on right away
One of the first products were the Super Shock Eyeshadow. This created crazy hype on the make up world because of it being very pigmented, has a wide collection of unique colors as well as unique mousy texture. I myself, picked my first ever Colourpop Super Shock shadows in Where the Light is by Kathleen lights ( I did a review on my 'discontinued blog site' lol, i'll transfer them here soon when I have the time ) and I really did dig the formula!

Although, I did notice that the mattes were really hard to blend because of it being cream and the mattes in my quads were mainly used as transition shades and brow highlight. In my preference, I like using powder eye shadows for transition shades and powder eyeshadow/highlight for my brow bone. The metallics however, were very easy to put on as I use it mainly on my lid. I use my fingers first to packed them on my eyelids then grab a synthetic brush to put them in place.
Just a personal tip when deciding to try these shadows, I suggest you buy colors that are 'unique', bright or the ones you mainly use for your lids. The colors that would POP. You can always use your other palette's transition shades, crease shades which are waaay easier to blend than the matte ones of Colourpop although some of their beautiful matte colors are still a must-haves just like the one I'm using on the photo above - Paradox.
My favorites from my little collection are BAE, LALA, PARADOX, BLAZE and KATHLEEN LIGHTS.
Will be posting some swatches soon!

PROS:
Very Pigmented
Quite Cheap (I'm a cheapskate so $5 for a single shadow is still quite expensive for me! Haha!)
Beautiful Collection of colors
CONS
Sometimes they need to be swatched heavily from the pan for them to really show (Based on my experiences)
