My Colourpop Shipping Experience

Hi Readers!

It has been quite a while since I have written a blog post! I was so busy finishing University, I just couldn't find the time to write a post, as well as the fact that I hadn't really been purchasing anything new or exciting enough to share. 

However, I decided to award myself with some new makeup for finishing off a great semester! I had been seeing a lot of talk about Colourpop cosmetics and was super intrigued by their stuff. I decided to place an order of 5 eyeshadows, a blush, and a lippie stick. I decided to order the Lumière lippistick (Because I love kathleenlights!), the blush 'get leid' because it is a really nice spring/summer time colour, and 5 eyeshadows: la la, hanky panky, tea party, sequin, and desert. 

 Before ordering from colourpop, I didn't even think to research how their shipping is, and assumed that they would arrive fine, as I've never had any previous issues with shipping cosmetics. And may I just add, that this is in no way bashing of colourpop cosmetics, because it isn't their fault! However, I just want to share my experience. 

When I received my package I was so excited to open them and get right to my vanity to try them out, except, when I opened the box this is what i saw (insert face of horror after waiting for it's arrival impatiently for almost 2 weeks!) 

Three of the eyeshadows that I had ordered came crumbled and damaged during the shipping process. When I first saw this I was kinda annoyed, but because of the texture of the shadows, and their almost whipped like feeling, I was able to mould them back into place pretty well. Thankfully only three out of the 7 items that I ordered came damaged, and not all! 

I went onto the colourpop cosmetics website and did see that they had a section dedicated to what to do if your order comes to you damaged. Rather than colourpop sending you new items for the damaged ones, they want you to return the damaged product in the exact way that it was shipped to you, and they will send you the same product again. I was just too eager to play with these bad boys that I didn't want to have to wait another two weeks, especially since I am from Canada, and i'm not too sure how long it would take to get to California, and then back to Canada. 

BUT, this being said, once I moulded the product back together, it still does its job! The shadows are soo richly pigmented, smooth, creamy and blendable! I am absolutely in love with every colour I received and I am having so much fun playing around with the colours! So, if your colourpop products come damaged and you don't feel like sending them back, have no fear! All you have to do is carefully press down until all of the product is touching the sides, and then smooth over the top and it will look almost brand new (besides the cute embossment on top of the shadows, but oh well!) 

How cute is the packaging?!

So, there you have it! That is my experience with colourpop cosmetics, and although some did come damaged, I would still order from them again because I truly do believe that the product is amazing and worth the risk! 

Love,
