The ScorpioColour Pop The Scorpio Pressed Powder Shadow ($4.50 for 0.05 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with strong, warm coppery undertones and a pearly sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that was easy to work with. The eyeshadow applied evenly to my lid, blended out with little effort, and stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me. Top Dupes
Formula Overview$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours. The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush. Browse all of our Colour Pop Pressed Powder Shadow swatches.

It had opaque pigmentation with a drier, slightly stiffer consistency that was a bit thin compared to most of the brand’s matte eyeshadows. It applied evenly to my skin but took a bit of extra effort to diffuse along the edges. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before fading visibly. Top Dupes

The AquariusColour Pop The Aquarius Pressed Powder Shadow ($4.50 for 0.05 oz.) is a medium, periwinkle blue with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had medium, buildable pigmentation with a soft, lightly powdery consistency–though it had a lot less fallout and was easier to work with than the version I have from the palette. So while there’s still room for improvement, it did improve from the last iteration (at least for me). It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably. Top Dupes

The PiscesColour Pop The Pisces Pressed Powder Shadow ($4.50 for 0.05 oz.) is a bright, medium aqua with subtle, cool undertones and a metallic finish. The consistency was thicker and chunkier, which resulted in light fallout during application, and it was better to apply this with fingertips, which helped to smooth out and press the product onto my lid. The pigmentation was semi-opaque and buildable. This shade stayed on well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly. Top Dupes

Much of the features Temptalia’s built over the years have been guided by trying to help readers make better, more informed purchases that they’ll love. I approach this from the standpoint that I’m not necessarily trying to convince someone to buy or not buy any specific product but to provide the information, resources, and tools for someone to make that decision knowing their own needs, preferences, budget constraints, and so on. 1. Why do you want it?Ask yourself questions that will help you figure out why this particular product is pulling at you. Here are some examples of questions:
These are the type of questions you want to think about (as applicable!), and your answer may or may not stop the want — it’s not necessarily about saying no (or trying to justify a purchase either) but being mindful about any new purchase. You might have the budget and desire to buy something just to see what the hype is for yourself, while someone else may feel like, “I didn’t want it before the hype, so I’m going to move on.” You might really trust your BFF’s recommendations and go for it, or you might remember that they often don’t work for your skin type/preferences, so then you can look at whether this recommendation might not work for you after all.
2. Can I afford it / will the purchase have an impact my financial goal(s)?Whether your budget is $10 or $1,000, if you’ve decided that you still want to purchase the product, then the next step is to determine whether you can afford to purchase, whether making that expenditure is in keeping with whatever financial goals you’ve set for yourself, and so forth. I’d also consider whether it’s something that might be available on sale later on, say you there’s an upcoming % off promotion from the retailer. If it will set back a financial goal, but it is something you can afford (like you’ll have to skip the movies the next weekend, not that you’ll skip rent to buy the product!), that’s your choice to make! Acknowledging the pros and cons helps to ensure that you really want the product and will feel good about the purchase afterward (and less likely to regret spending the money!).
3. How does this product fit in my collection?Next, assess how the product in question will fit in with what you already own. You’ll want to think about how likely you are to use it, when you’ll use it, whether it’s something you know you’ll use sometimes but still really enjoy or whether you think it’s going to be a real workhorse for you. The answer and whether it gives you the go-ahead is personal. The point of the process is to think through a purchase methodically as sometimes the “want” will go away with time or we can’t find good justification to allow the purchase, so that tempers the want. I also like to spend more of the initial time thinking about the product and myself rather than doing a lot of research for reviews or swatches (which can sometimes feed into the want, I think) initially.
4. Do I have any dupes? Can I mix what I own instead?Right now, the most popular tool on Temptalia is our Dupe List, so duh, that’s a good place to start, but there are some more advanced ways to use the Dupe List along with some other handy tools that are great for comparison. Sometimes we don’t need dupes so much as something similar enough, as similar enough shades can still be a good starting point to figure out whether we actually use that type of product.
If you don’t have anything that’s similar enough, consider layering (or mixing) two or three shades to get there. You can mix a gold and green to get a warmer, more olive-toned green shade. You can layer a sparkly top coat on top of a more matte/satin eyeshadow to change the finish. You can pat a bit of eyeshadow on top of a lipstick to create a shimmery effect (add a touch of balm or gloss to give it some luminosity).
You can also look across categories; for example, if you’re after a duochrome highlighter for cheeks, perhaps you have something similar enough in eyeshadow form that you could experiment with. 5. Have I done my research on it?Research includes reading reviews, browsing swatches, or even seeing and trying it in person, should that be an option. If it’s a relatively new product or it’s slim pickings for reviews on it, you can also look at past performance by that brand and for that type of product–some brands are fairly consistent and others can be all over the place. If you live in an area that allows returns, make sure you’re familiar with the return/exchange process as well. You can use a tool like Fakespot for certain retailers, like Amazon and Sephora, to help eliminate the impact of “unreliable” reviews (fake or otherwise). My other tips for wading through reviews on retailer websites is to look for longer reviews, sort by “most helpful” or “lowest rating,” and if possible, sometimes looking at the user’s review history can show you some insight into what they’ve liked (or disliked) in the past. It’s a good idea to invest some time (at any point!) to find reviewers that suit your needs, whether that’s in-depth demonstrations, written reviews, or having similar coloring. This will help you build go-to resources for future purchasing decisions as well.

Most LovedMost Recent Looksvia Temptalia https://ift.tt/2xnOipX Margs (70)Sephora Margs (70) Lipstories Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium sage green with subtle,w arm undertones and a cream finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single, fluid stroke. The color adhered evenly and smoothly across my lips with just a smidgen of product that gathered in my deeper lip lines, though it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. The consistency was creamy, lightweight, and comfortable to apply and to wear. It stayed on nicely for four hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn. Top Dupes
Formula Overview$8.00/0.14 oz. - $57.14 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to be "lightweight" with "full-coverage color in one swipe." The majority of shades were pigmented with semi-opaque to full color payoff in a single layer, as described. The more shimmery shades tended to be a bit sheerer overall, while the mattes and creams were usually closer to opaque in coverage. The textures were typically creamy, lightweight, and not too thin or too thick on the lips, so they were comfortable to apply and to wear. There were some shades where the color pulled into my deeper lip lines upon application, and it was more or less noticeable just depending on the color and finish of the particular. Some shades seemed hydrating and others were non-drying. They lasted anywhere from three to over six hours on me. There was a subtle, sweet, fruity scent (I couldn't detect it on, just in the tube), and I haven't noticed any taste after wearing them. Browse all of our Sephora Lipstories Lipstick swatches.

Treat Yo Self (71)Sephora Treat Yo Self (71) Lipstories Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark gold with strong, warm orange undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish with a glossy sheen. It had medium coverage, at best, that applied unevenly with so-so dispersion of the shimmer/micro-glitter. I could feel a slight grittiness from the amount of shimmer and sparkle in the lipstick as I applied it, though it wasn’t painful or sharp to me–just glittery in texture. It wore well for three and a half hours and was lightly hydrating over time. Top Dupes

Incandescent (Top)Incandescent (Top) is a soft gold with warmer undertones and a luminous sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation with a denser, firmer consistency that was smooth to the touch but applied evenly and blended out beautifully. It had a gel-powder type of formula, which works best with denser brushes and a moderate hand, but the product goes on exceptionally nicely over skin and had a glowing finish that didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me before I noticed fading. Top Dupes

Incandescent (Bottom)Incandescent (Bottom) is a medium-dark plum with warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, moderately dense consistency that had no powderiness but remained blendable on my skin. The trick to this type of formula (gel-powder hybrid) is that it requires a denser brush to pick up product evenly, though I wouldn’t call it stiff to work with as the powder goes on and almost “melts” on my skin for a seamless finish. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably. Top Dupes

via Temptalia https://ift.tt/2XzfFME ColourPop Lite Stix ($8.00 for 0.33 oz.) is one of the newer formulas released by the brand; it’s a cream highlighter in a stick format available across eight shades. There’s definitely lots of room for some more variety in the shade range, as most shades are on the golden, warmer side of things, and knowing ColourPop, I’m sure that plenty more shades are in the works! Per the brand, they’re intended to be most pigmented when applied directly from the tube and then more buildable when applied with fingertips or a brush, which was consistent with my experience. They worked well over bare skin as well as over foundation, as they weren’t prone to lifting or moving around base products for me. Some shades had finer pearl, more pearl, and a few had some larger sparkle, but they were flattering on my skin overall. They don’t fully dry down and retain some of the “wet-like” shine on my skin, but they didn’t feel tacky and lasted eight to nine hours.

They’re available in a new finish, creme, with a “fierce flash of shimmer” (as opposed to the more glittery/sparkly BlitzTrances we saw originally), so the shimmer is finer, while the finish has some luminosity and a creamier, very pigmented base.

Pat McGrath BlitzTrance Lipsticks (Summer 2019) | Swatches Pat McGrath BlitzTrance Lipsticks (Summer 2019) | Swatches via Temptalia https://ift.tt/2RKt8Me Sephora #Lipstories Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.14 oz.) just launched 15 new shades, which you’ll find swatched below! There are new shades across each of the range’s three finishes (matte, metallic, and satin). FYI, I dropped Spiked (second row, fourth over) as I was moving it into place for the group shot (which is last, so the close-ups are as arrived–new), which is why the slanted tip looks a bit different than the others.
