ColourPop Love Bird Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Love Bird
Colour Pop Love Bird 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($12.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new(ish), limited edition palette that features three Pressed Shadows, three Pressed Glitters, two Pressed Pigments, and one Super Shock Shadow. Aside from the glitters, the products were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing with No Egrets being not as blendable as one might like (though not bad for the intensity and type of color!).
The Pressed Glitters contain plastic glitter, and this formula along with the Pressed Pigment formula, all come with the “not intended for use in the immediate eye area” warning. The Pressed Glitters are an improvement over glitter-packed shades from years ago, as they are more emollient, which gives them better adherence and grip on my skin, but they can still have fallout/migration over time (and it’s hard to remove every particle during removal).
Peacocky
Peacocky is a soft, light-medium peach with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling sheen. It had nearly opaque color coverage that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges. The texture was emollient, lightly creamy but felt more powder-like once it came into contact with the skin (it seems to be a Super Shock Shadow). It wore well for nine hours before fading a bit on me.

Formula Overview
$6.00/0.07 oz. - $85.71 Per Ounce
ColourPop Super Shock Shadow is a cream-based formula that comes in a multitude of shades and finishes. The more metallic shades have the most slip to them (they have a “wetter” feel), while the more matte ones have a firmer, more clay-like consistency. Almost every shade I’ve tried from ColourPop has been exceptionally long-wearing (10+ hours of wear, usually there until I remove, even 14 hours later). The pigmentation can vary from shade to shade, but the average shade is quite pigmented.
From feedback I’ve seen from readers, many love them but some don’t like them at all. They aren’t a traditional cream eyeshadow, as they are denser (more sponge-like), and they apply best with flat, firm, synthetic brushes (I like the MAC 242 and 249) for me. The brand recommends using fingers for the most pigmented application, but I’ve only felt that fingers were necessary on a few shades (usually the super glittery ones).
The more matte shades can be on the drier side and vary from medium to opaque in coverage, though they're often buildable. They can be a little hard to diffuse the edges of, though some are lovely to work with.
The more glittery shades have been the weakest to me, as they can be sheerer or harder to apply. Sometimes, they are more pigmented and work like the other finishes in the formula, but often, they are sheerer and only function well patted on top of more pigmented eyeshadows to add glitter. They do, however, tend to have little fallout over time with the occasional shade having a more moderate amount of fallout (but still less fallout than most powder eyeshadows with glitter).

Sing-a-Song
Sing-a-Song is a medium pink with strong, warm undertones and cooler, iridescent pink and gold sparkle. It had nearly opaque color coverage that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out without fallout. The texture was smooth, lightly emollient, and dense without being too thick or too firmly pressed into the pan. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me.

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.

Cheep Cheep
Cheep Cheep is light, white gold small-sized glitter particles that shifted from bright, white gold to light-medium gold with opalescent, smaller glitter particles throughout. The glitter particles were suspended in a translucent base, so it had more medium to semi-opaque coverage overall. It had plastic glitter, which came with the warning that it wasn’t intended for use around the eye area.
This shade had good dispersion and spreadability with minimal fallout during application. There was slight fallout/migration during eight hours of wear.

Indio
Indio had a mix of darker, pink glitter and holographic glitter suspended in a translucent base. It was small to medium-sized glitter pieces with some finer pieces in the background. The product contains plastic glitter, and it was listed as not intended for use around the eye area.
The texture was lightly emollient, and the glitter had good dispersion when applied to skin without sheering out too readily. It had nearly opaque coverage in a single layer, so a little went a long way. There was slight migration/fallout over an eight-hour period.

Side Chick
Side Chick is a brighter, medium-dark pink with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had good pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The consistency was slightly drier and dustier in the pan, so there was a touch of fallout during application, but it was blendable and easy enough to work with. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

On a Lark
On a Lark is a brighter, medium fuchsia pink with subtle, cool undertones and flecks of micro-sparkle over a matte finish. The sparkles didn’t translate much during application, so it was functionally a matte finish. The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too powdery nor too firmly pressed into the pan. It had rich color coverage that lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
-
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing." The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they're not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.
The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.

No Egrets
No Egrets is a bright, medium-dark burgundy with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had a denser, more substantial texture with a touch of dryness to it, though it was smoother than other red-heavy shades (on average). It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly but took more effort to diffuse and blend out.
I would recommend wearing this over a primer to mitigate staining but also aid in ensuring a more even application. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading slightly.
