I dislike sequin/matte eyeshadows with shimmer in them anyway, and I don’t feel this particular color adds anything to the palette, so it’s an easy skip. Since I cannot tell if my original packaging is correct and if Grasslands should also be considered not eye safe, I decided I won’t be using that shade on my eyes either.
This is quite unfortunate considering Lashes is the one that pretty much sold me on this palette. More than that, it’s in an actual pressed glitter formula, so I will not be swatching or using that shade. On the back of my palette, Grasslands was marked with the symbol of not being safe for use around the immediate eye area, but on Colourpop’s website it’s the shade Lashes that is listed as having PET glitter. Sometimes Colourpop puts the warning asterisk next to the shade names on the inside of the palette, so I wrongly assumed this had no eye safety warnings. It’s not bad, but it’s not as easy as my newer Colourpop palettes. I think this palette being a few years old by now is why the performance has declined from that first initial impression I had. Other than my dislike of the tones, the patchiness of Emerald City, and the fact that Old Growth doesn’t show as pink on me, I think the other shades are okay despite them overall feeling dry and not the easiest to work with. It’s blue, but leans closer to green than a standard blue shade. I love the shade Emerald City, but it’s a very patchy shadow. The exceptions to this are Evergreen, Fiddlehead, and Homegrown. This should be a color story I’m crazy for, but for some reason I don’t like how most of the shades look on my eyes and in combination with one another. I only used this palette two or three times prior to reviewing it again now.
The craziest part is that I actually did resist a ton of collections, yet I still ended up with all these unused eyeshadow palettes (plus everything else from other categories).Ĭolourpop x Raw Beauty Kristi At Forest Sight Collection PaletteĪlthough this palette is no longer listed on the Colourpop website, so I cannot double-check the ingredients, Amanita has the symbol for what I’m guessing is a warning about potential eye staining due to the dye(s) used. The cycle was quite unhealthy and I knew that in the back of my head, yet they still got me regularly. It was like constantly chasing the excitement of what’s new, having it fade by the time it arrived, and then seeking something else to replace that feeling. So, by the time I received my products, the hype was already gone and I felt very little motivation to post about it via social media and even less for my blog. Colourpop’s shipping went from a week to deliver (years ago) to a minimum of three weeks for delivery now. Here I was making monthly orders without even using and enjoying any of it, yet still unable to stop myself from continuing to buy the next “Must Have” thing that appealed to my sense of nostalgia or my love of particular color stories. It’s a bit fascinating how Colourpop’s marketing completely sucked me in.
