After taking a two week break from writing the blog posts I am back with some fall content. Now, if you follow me on Instagram, I did a story saying I was finally able to get my hands on the ColourPop Hocus Pocus collection this year. Last year, the whole entire collection sold out in a couple of minutes. I purchased the eyeshadow palette and the mirror on the ColourPop website, and will be reviewing those in the next post. In this post, as you can tell from the title, it's all about the Lip Duo's, and I purchased all three, Sarah, Winnie and Mary. I had to hunt these down at 3 different Ulta stores. I am so glad I did because I have been wanting to try out this collection for over a year, and my thoughts may shock you.

I think we can all agree this packaging is perfection.

All 3 Shades Lined Up Together
Final Thoughts:
Overall, these shades were ok to me. I thought they would wow me, and they simply did not. The texture is very creamy and smooth, which is nice. When using the lipliners to line my lips, they cracked in half on my face. Then I sharpened them, and they did the same thing. The lipstick is also very hard to remove as well. I do not like how the Winnie and Mary shades stained my lips. I contemplated keeping them just for the packaging, which I love very much, but people told me to just return them if I will not use them, so I did. Hopefully the eyeshadow and mirror are a lot better.
Xoxo,
Chey
