Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. Mark Twain
I love the lippie stix. Their regular matte formula is pretty comfortable but not totally matte. The matte x formula is actually pretty smudge proof once it sets. I also like the liquid formulas BUT some of their colors turn bright pink once applied regardless of the original color. Looking at reviews I've noticed this happens frequently so I've stopped buying them.
The Super Shock shadows are nice but I've only been able to apply them with my fingers and they're not the easiest to blend with other powder shadows. I prefer them mostly for lid shades or quick one or two shadow looks. I haven't tried any of the new powder products but honestly at $5 a pop for the shadows I'd rather buy MUG. I did see some bad reviews for the bronzer duo things that the powders were like expanding in the pans or something weird and breaking. Keep in mind that ColourPop does not take any returns which is why I don't always jump on their new products.
I'm slightly obsessed lately, I have a ton of the pressed shadows and they are just as good as my MAC AND MUG shadows. I usually use the super shock shadows as liners, one thing I've never been able to get into is the blushes /highlighters.
I also love the lippie stix and the ultra satin lips.
I like the supershock shadows for my standard 5 minute face. I don't really wear shadow on a daily basis these days, and those are nice for a quick swipe with a finger kind of thing. My two favorites are Hanky Panky (a cool light brown? but basically invisible. my lids but better?) and Bill (a gray/taupey purple). I want to pick up a warm toned neutral but haven't gotten around to it.

yep - this is me as well. love them for a quick eye look. my favorites have all been discontinued though.
Unpopular opinion, but I think their stuff is overrated. I have placed a few orders, and always get super excited and then I wind up never using it because the shadows don't blend, the lippie stix go on patchy, the liquid lipstick oxides and changes color like whoa after applying, and the highlighters get stuck in my pores. Plus the packaging is clunky and hard to store.
The one thing I do love are the pencil gel liners. Those are awesome.
I really like the Super Shock shadows because I am into glitter & color. But ditto ESF that the packaging is clunky.
I used to love the lip stuff because the Lippie Stix & doe-foot applicators are so easy to apply, but the same thing happens to me as to @pippin with them turning hot pink. Way too many times that I look in the mirror after a few hours and am shocked at my neon lips.

I actually really like their pressed shadows. I do think that Mac and makeup geek are better quality, and you get more product for just $1 more. But I would buy more colour pop pressed shadows.
