It dawned on me that there are still makeup collections from last year that I haven't even mentioned here. Some I'm willing to look past and not worry about but the new faves have to be mentioned. So if you notice some older collections... Don't mind me! This one is worth the mention. I was super stoked about this collab. I mean so many collection opportunities come in the beauty world but it always comes down to who/what company has been chosen. Ha! That sadly, happened a lot last year with so many that could've really been something. That is why I was so happy to end out the year with a love of mine, 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' and a brand like ColourPop that would do it justice. I do think the aesthetic could've been a little more. I wish it even came more geared towards Halloween instead of Christmas, but once I had it in my hands I had to give props to ColourPop. It is an insanely beautiful collection. I still crave more grunge in shade choices, but the palette is still a unique color story and one I think a lot would love. The formula is a 10/10 from them so if you enjoy the best of the best from ColourPop you'll like the way these shadows perform.
Swatches Left To Right: Zero, Meant To Be, Dear Friend, In My Bones, Pumpkin Patch, Christmas Town, Frog's Breath, Dr. Finkelstein, What's This, Sandy Claws, Everybody Scream, & Halloween Town
I couldn't resist the Jelly Much shadows in this collection either. I love Lock, Shock, and Barrel so I had to splurge a little even though I have a love-hate relationship with this formula. It is stunning and everything to expect from jelly. Pigment, sparkle, wears well but also dries out hella fast. I do like the switch from plastic containers to glass jars (like pot eyeliners) and hope I see a change in their shelf span.
The lipsticks I almost passed on but like the Jelly Much Shadows they won me over with the characters. The only part that really confuses me is the shades. Sure we have a pretty neutral nude for the Oogie Boogie shade, but Jack and Sally's shades are ehh. The Jack shade would've been so cool if we got a creme lux lipstick in black! But sadly, it's another ColourPop red... The Sally shade on the other hand is this super neon pink. I know, I know. They pulled the pink from Sally's dress. While I have actually worn this shade many times now even with its shocking shade I still wish they would've gone a little grungier with this entire collection. It's still a really cool collab that I reach for quite a bit. Are you loving this collection? xo
*Don't mind the older Christmas shots. Ha!
