Ah, yes… I bring to you another Colour Pop swatch fest. Â There is absolutely no denying it – it has easily become one of my favorite brands that I find I will head over to Colour Pop to see what is new versus over to Sephora’s website like I would normally do. Â Today I bring to you the Shaaanxo x ColourPop collection. Â I have been a huge fan of Shaaanxo for a few years now and was really excited to get my hands on this new collection rolled out by Colour Pop last year (2014). Â I have been sitting on these gorgeous shades for quite a few months and I’m finally finding the time to share them with you. Â Since the collection is still available on Colour Pop’s site, I figured it would be a great time to stop by and check them out. Â While these shades make great ones for Fall and Winter months, I love that they give off that almost beachy vibe and thought they would make great Summer hues to pop on those gorgeous peepers of yours. Â So – let’s get started.
The Shaaanxo X Colorpop collection consists of four shades that were selected by Shaaanxo on YouTube. Â This bundle of colors were selected to allow you to create a multitude of looks using just four shades. Â The eye shadows are packaged together like a little quad and retail for $20 on Colourpop’s website.
- XO: A Light Champagne shade with a pearlized finish
- Selfie: Mid-tone peachy brown shade with a matte finish
- Rebel: Mid-tone khaki green with a matte finish
- Deluxe: warm red bronze with a pearlized finish
Like with other products I have reviewed and talked about from Colourpop – these shadows have that same buttery, creamy texture – almost mousse like and are very pigmented, offering huge color pay off in just one swipe. Â But, as I discussed in previous posts – using these with a brush can be a bit of a challenge. Â It is best to apply with your fingers and then use a synthetic brush to blend the shadows appropriately. Â You can also use a small detailed shadow brush to apply in the smaller areas. Â However the best color pay off is received with applying with your fingers.
At first glance, these gorgeous colors definitely lend for a Fall shade range and I totally agree they would make a great collection for your fall looks. Â However, after playing around and trying new looks with these, I find that the colors are perfect for those Summer looks that give that effortless vibe. Â XO is a great inner corner highlight shade and can be used on it’s own to attract light to your eyes while showcasing just your lashes or your lips. Â But if you are looking to bump up the look even more, try using Rebel all over the lid or run it along your lower lash line for a soft pop of color that brings out your gorgeous peepers. Â Deluxe and Selfie work well together and when used in the same eye look can create a gorgeous bronze smoky eye perfect for those summer nights when you want a little drama and each color works well all over the lid or even blended together to create the perfect summer look. Â While these shades are not traditional summer shades – they definitely will be my choice for the summer months.
*Quick note… Rebel can stain if you are using without a primer beneath the shadow. Â It won’t have a long staining power – but sometimes may need a little more elbow power to remove it. Â It’s nothing drastic though.
My love for ColourPop cosmetics started around this time last year and I have since built quite a collection of shades for year round but I find that if you love neutral tones but want something a little more, this collection from Shaaanxo would be a great buy. Â Every color you need to create one look or a plethora of them is included in this little quad of goodies. Â I especially love that Colourpop has been including matte shades and increasing their matte shades available which make creating looks easier than ever. Â When I first purchased from the brand last year, they didn’t offer any matte shades and this way – creating a “one brand look” is now simpler than before. Â I’m not sure how long the Shaaanxo X Colourpop collection will remain available for purchase, but I definitely think it is gorgeous and I urge anyone to pick it up.
If you haven’t tried anything from Colourpop before and are a little intimidated by the color choices available, I think you would absolutely love this set. Â Don’t forget to check out my other posts regarding other shadows and lippies available from Colourpop as well – which include swatches and all (links below).

Those are gorgeous shades, ones I’d like. I was eyeing a new palette from Clarins with similar shades that is much more expensive. Perhaps these are the solution!! So pretty
These shades are so pretty! I love XO and Selfie.
These shades look beautiful!
These are definitely Summer shades.
Gosh, I really need to get my hands on some ColourPop stuff! Everything I’ve seen is so stinking gorgeous!!!
That’s such a pretty peachy shade
These are great! Deluxe is my favorite, I think. I always love a good red shade in my collection.
I bought this one, too. What a gorgeous set! I’ve already put a dent in XO and Deluxe <3
I love the packaging. The green and reddish brown are my faves.
I don’t know why I am slacking on buying Colour Pop I have went to buy it a few times and just didn’t. These are beautiful shades!
Of course, more amazing shades from Colour Pop!!!
So pretty. I’m afraid I’ll spend a fortune if I go to Colour Pop.
What lovely shades!! I really need to try ColourPop
I agree, they look like Fall shades to me
I love these colors, and the lightest one is so pretty! I need to break out my Colour Pop and play!
Pretty! I really like the look of Deluxe!
These are so gorgeous! I STILL haven’t tried anything from ColourPop!
I love ColourPop and I’ve been eying up this collection. I definitely have similar colors… but I feel like with CP I just need all the things lol
Rebel is a stunner, although, I kind of want them all 😀
I’m not a fan of the green color but the other colors are beautiful. Loving the shimmer.
That green looks fabulous!
I love the green and the bronze color, gorgeous.
