The vault dropped today! 2018’s Cyber Monday and can be found HERE.  

This retails for a solid $99 and you get 25 brand new super shock shadow shades (each shade retails for $5 so you are saving $26), however the shadows are not available independently, time to use that afterpay function if you already Black Fridayed and Cyber Mondayed!

The packaging is a pink cardboard box with the “is this real life” letters written in holographic bold font and once you open each shadow has their own spot reserved on the vault with a reference drawing 

The shades are a multitude of colourful hues, with tie dyes thrown in the mix along with the old school split pans. This is truly a collector’s item and tugs at the heartstrings of those of us that were here from the beginning. 

Each shade is particularly interesting which is why I refrained from swatching them altogether, I dont think they were meant as a cohesive collection to build looks with but moreso, a melange of shades reminiscent of old school colourpop (its been 4 and a half years people! thats older than my kid!).

If you are buying this to actually use, you will find that most shades are an ultra glitter version of an existing shade or at least a duochrome similar to something in the pressed powder selection. Its still cool to have as a collector but as someone who loves to use her makeup, I have to be honest with you that you prob have similar shades in your stash from the CP family. 

Lets dig in the shades shall we? 

MOON / SWOON:  split pan! Moon is a duochrome pink with teal in ULTRA GLITTER and Swoon is a Metallic hot magenta. 

CHASE THE LIGHT: TIE DYE shadow similar in pan to SUMMER LOVIN but with much more orange/yellow, see comparison above (Summer lovin is on top, much more rose gold).

This is a golden bronze in an ULTRA GLITTER finish. 

MILLENNIUM:     *Not intended for use in the immediate eye area. This is a red with gold and orange specks
