This is a thread to post swatches of your ColourPop products. Since they aren't in stores and photos are hard to come by, this thread is to help each other out by building a gallery of our own swatches. Anyone who wants to add swatch photos can. This should be an ongoing effort, so I hope it it is useful, people will continue to add pictures as you get new stuff. If colors you have have already been posted, feel free to post yours. It's helpful to the colors on different skin tones and in different lighting.
So the thread can be a useful reference guide for us, I think we should aim to keep chatter to a minimum and take random observations and comments to the randoms.
In addition to the swatches and the names of the colors, feel free to add reviews, comments, and descriptions. I think it would be most helpful if these appear in the post where the swatches appear, so if you don't start using the product until two weeks after you swatched it, consider going back and editing your original post.
Dupes are also useful. Feel free to contribute posts of swatches of similar CP shades next to each other. Or add swatches of ColourPop products next to other popular shades that are close. Just make the product names very clear.
For now, let's open the thread up to questions and requests calling for information about how two CP shades compare to one another or how the CP product compares to another product. If it gets too cluttered, we may have to dial that back.
pixy0stix, can you add this link to the intro sticky post?
Cheerio, Quarters, Early Bird, Clutch, Bonus, Holiday:
Thoughts on eye shadows: Bandit has more of a red undertone than is evident in this picture. One & Done is from the Rebound Quad and is a great base/all over color. Truth is fabulous as a transition and would be gorgeous all by itself all over the lid. I'm surprised by how much I like it because shimmery champagne is not my thing. To-A-T is perfectly lovely but not necessarily special. ETA: I have totally changed my mind on To-A-T. It is a gorgeous warm brown that has an orange undertone and screams summer to me. Beautiful in the outer V for a more subtle look.
Thoughts on blush: Love all of them but Cheerio is a disappointment. It's a lovely deep cranberry in the pan but I just can't build it up to be very dark. I was hoping it would be a cream alternative to my MAC Fever but it is definitely not. I guess it might be good for someone who wants to play with cranberry but is intimidated by how dark it usually is.
Love all of these except Too Soon, which is just a shimmery mess IMO. It almost has a duochrome quality but I'm still trying to figure out how to make it work for me.
ETA: the photo doesn't capture Too Soon at all. Let's try this:
Nope, still doesn't capture the color. It looks champagne here but IRL it looks much more pink. Also, here it looks like a normal shimmer color. IRL it looks more like a bunch of glitter held together by a marginally pigmented eye shadow.

Pretty pretties came today!
The texture on these is so unique. Crazy soft and creamy. I can see why people talk about blendability with brushes, they seem like a better fit for finger application. I'm in love, though.
I got a bunch of fun colors. From bottom to top:
Chilly Chili matte lip cream Shadows: Shop (orangey red) La la (gold) Dare Drift Mixed Tape Hanky Panky Coconut (blue) Lace (purple)
