If you are even slightly into makeup and you have never tried Colourpop Cosmetics then you are doing the whole thing wrong. Sure, high end makeup can be great (and it should be with a price tag like that), but an amazing quality lipstick that costs less than $6 is definitely a great deal. You will find that with Colourpop. Here are some other selling points:

Everything is inexpensive:

The most expensive items they sell are eyeshadow palettes which range in price from $16-23. A makeup addiction can be extremely costly, but when those items are coming from Colourpop, it is not.

Constant sales

Despite how reasonably priced everything is, I have bought most of the products I own through various sales. My lipstick collection is kind of ridiculous because of their BOGO offers.

Free shipping

Every order made on Colourpop’s website over $30 gets free shipping, so, if you really want go crazy, know that the $5 that shipping typically costs will be waived. Admittedly, this is not an amazing deal, but it does get me every time. Maybe it wil trick you into thinking you are getting a good deal too.

Cruelty-Free

If you tend to stick to cruelty-free makeup, or if you are hoping to make the switch soon, you can start restocking your collection with Colourpop. Maybe you have never cared about this issue, but it always feels good to know that my poppin’ highlight did not hurt any cute bunnies before getting to my cheekbones.

Cute little notes

Apparently, in the early days of Colourpop every purchase was sent out with a handwritten note. Of course, they are kind of a big deal now, so they cannot afford to do that, but they still manage to include a cute, positive note in each package. It is bound to make your day at least a little better!

I hope you are now thoroughly convinced that Colourpop Cosmetics is the way to go. If you are planning on picking anything up after reading this, I highly recommend their Lippie Stix, Super Shock Blush, and Super Shock Shadows.

Happy shopping!
