Shadow sticks tend to be one of my most reached for products in my collection. They are just so easy, effortless, the color payoff is usually good, but I had not tried one from Colourpop and this color in Flex just called to me and I had to. This color was so stunning, but honestly the crayon looked a little bit gritty and I was worried that it was going to pull or I was going to feel the glitter and I don't understand how this applies so smoothly and evenly and effortlessly. Pretty much on par with the ELLE shadow sticks which are my ultimate favorite. I use this stick in combo with my Melt 420 palette because come on these colors are just perfect together and this is where this shadow stick really blew me away. Blending a powder eyeshadow in with this shadow stick was effortless. It felt like they were just made to work together. I feel like usually there's some resistance with these formulas and I am so happy with this look.

If you have not tried the new Colourpop shadow sticks, you're missing out. Here is Walnut Avenue. This is a nice deep brown. This will be perfect for liner or kind of doing like a smoky eye. I feel like it'll be gorgeous with that. So let me swatch just below that one and blend. They blend just so easily. I'm obsessed with these. They feel so high quality. I love cream shadows. If you haven't tried any cream shadows yet, these are the ones to try.

Pop stepped it up with these shadow sticks. I had one of their previous shadow sticks before they reformulated and it is nothing like this new formula. So it is extremely creamy, extremely glidey. I actually used this color to create a wing today and it was so easy to kind of smudge. Let's see, it's probably dried down. Yep, it's dried down now. Well, I guess there's a little bit, but it's workable. I do feel like this is going to dry down and not crease. One day I'll have to use it all over the lids, but you can see in the swatch here, it does look like a more reddy brown, but when you do start to blend it out, it does cool down quite a bit. So I think I would probably prefer this and maybe a truer red tone color like one of the purples they have, but this is in their matte formula. So it's great for a liner, it's great for all over. It's such a multi-use product.

This is the new and improved ColourPop Shadow Stick in the shade Walnut Ave. It's a beautiful, more red-toned brown, but when smudged out, turns a little bit more neutral. It's super easy to use, very creamy. I definitely am interested in picking up some other colors.
