ColourPop x Disney Villains Review August 3, 2019
Look at this stuff. Isn’t it neat? Don’t you think this collection is neat? I was stoked when I saw the ColourPop was collaborating with Disney to launch the Disney Villains collection. But does this collection live up to the hype? Keep reading for an in-depth review of the ColourPop x Disney Villains Collection.

ColourPop x Disney Villains Collection
ColourPop x Disney Villains Misunderstood Eyeshadow Palette
The 15-Pan Misunderstood Palette is comprised of a variety of matte, duochrome, and metallic shadows aimed at enabling you to slay all of your looks. In particular, this palette includes five mattes, two duo-chromes, and eight metallic shadows.
Price & Packaging
The Misunderstood palette retails for $22.00 and may be purchased alone or in a bundle with the Disney Princess Palette.

Inside the ColourPop x Disney Villains Misunderstood Eyeshadow Palette
This palette comes in ColourPop’s traditional cardboard packaging. A holographic villain-themed design adorns the outside of the palette. However, I wish that this palette came with a mirror.
Eyeshadow Swatches
These shadows pack a punch when swatched. Specifically, the metallics swatched like a dream. They were so soft and highly pigmented. However, the formula crumbled due to the soft texture. Also, even though the palette only includes two duo-chromes, many of the metallics contain glitter particles that add visually striking shifts to their appearance.

Except for the matte black shade, 101, the matte swatches impressed me. Rather than performing like a true black eyeshadow, 101 swatched more like a sooty grey. Also, The Fates (deep blue) does produce a lot of fallout.
Application & Wear-Time
Although the metallic shades crumble and produce fallout, the overall performance of the Misunderstood palette is consistent with ColourPop quality. Overall, the shades look metallic and high impact on the lids.
Whether applied with a flat brush or a finger, the metallics apply nicely on the lids. Also, the majority of these metallics wore well throughout the day. However, Facile and Flotsam creased badly after a few hours. Use more matte shadows to build a base in the crease to avoid future creasing issues.

All in all, I recommend applying your eyeshadow first when using the dark colors from the Misunderstood Palette. The dark shades produce a considerable amount of fallout.
Bad or Rad
Overall, with its versatile color selection and high-quality eyeshadows, Misunderstood is a rad eyeshadow palette. Moreover, I loved ColourPop’s take on a dingy, grungy rainbow. Also, the inclusion of the neutral shadows make this a palette that can be used by a broad audience.
Creating bright, colorful looks or dark, grungy looks with the Misunderstood Palette were equally easy. More specifically, I appreciate that this palette felt complete. In other words, I could create a versatile range of looks using only this palette. Companion palettes were not needed.
I recommend the Disney Villains Misunderstood Palette to anyone that wants to experiment with color without purchasing a brights palette. Also, major Disney fans are sure to love this palette. However, this palette looks extremely similar to the MakeupShayla Perception Palette.
Jelly Much Eyeshadows
The ColourPop Jelly Much Shadows promise to provide intense pigmentation with just one swipe of the finger without creasing or fallout. I picked up the Cruella, Ursula, and Maleficent-Inspired Shadows: Perfectly Wretched, Just Your Voice, and Spindle, respectively.

Price & Packaging
Each Jelly Much Shadow retails for $8.00. Unlike the lipsticks, glosses, and highlighters, the Jelly Much Shadows were not included in any Villain Kit.
Also, out of all the products in the collection, the Jelly Much Shadows felt the least inspired. In other words, the lack of fun packaging design made these feel like add-ons. The shadows came in the traditional Jelly Much packaging with a twist top.
Jelly Much Swatches
The below finger swatches really speak for themselves. These are high impact shadows with intense metallic pigmentation. Please note, some jelly shadows from other brands were swatched in addition to the Disney Villains shadows.

Application & Wear-Time
Fingers and flat brushes work to apply the Jelly Much shadows. However, fingers provide the best color payoff. Meanwhile, using a brush provides better control and creates less mess.
Although the shadows dry down quickly, there is still enough time to play with them on the lids. Surprisingly, these shadows play well with powder shadows. Unfortunately, Villains Jelly Much Shadows stain fingers and other surfaces.
Additionally, there is no fallout from these shadows. However, the shadows create weird textures on the eyelids if too much is applied. In cases of over application, the eyelids look crusty and wrinkly.
Bad or Rad
The Jelly Much Shadows are a rad option for anyone who loves rocking impact color on the lids without fussing over the fallout.
[EDIT – 6/21/2020: the Jelly Much Shadows from the Villains Collection dried out in less than a year’s time. For that reason, I do not recommend this formula to anyone.]
Super Shock Highlighters
The ColourPop x Disney Villains Super Shock Highlighters promise to provide the ultimate glow. They are meant to be buildable, blendable, and buttery-soft. I picked up the Cruella, Ursula, and Maleficent-inspired shades: (You Idiots! You Fools! You Imbeciles!, Poor Unfortunate Souls, and Mistress of All Evil, respectively).

Price & Packaging
Each highlighter initially retailed for $10.00 or could be purchased as part of a villain-specific kit. The Villains packaging is different from the brand’s traditional, plastic, twist-top Super Shock Cheek packaging. Instead, these limited edition highlighters come in a cardboard compact with a mirror.
Without a doubt, the highlighters are the best-packaged items in the collection. Both the outer cartons and the highlighters, themselves, feature visually stunning neon representations of each villain.
Highlighter Swatches
These highlighters swatch more subtly than I expected based on how vibrant they appeared in the pans. However, compared to the brand’s traditional Super Shock Highlighters, the Villains highlighters provide more of an iridescent metallic finish with colorful duo-chrome flips.

Application & Wear-Time
As with most Super Shock products, the Villains highlighters apply best using a finger. Despite the colorful undertones, the highlighters appear ‘wearable’ for people who work in professional, office settings.
However, I forced myself to reach for these highlighters. Although the formula was nice, I don’t enjoy wearing colorful or metallic highlighters. Instead, I prefer wet, glossy looking finishes.
Additionally, I felt like these highlighters appeared too subtle. Despite being long-lasting and buildable, they felt non-committal to the colorful edge. Eventually, I decluttered two of the shades. Currently, I Maleficent’s highlighter is the only Villains highlighter in my collection.
Bad or Rad
If you enjoy subtle, colorful, metallic highlighters would have liked these cheek products. Also, I typically do not recommend that anyone purchase a product for the packaging. However, these highlighters were the exception. Die-hard Disney fans would love the packaging enough to keep these highlighters on display.
Ultra Glossy Lipgloss
The ColourPop x Disney Villains Ultra Glossy Lips promise to provide the lips with a glass-like shine, subtle shimmer, and sheer tint of color without drying out the lips. Additionally, these glosses promise to make the lips look juicy and full. I purchased the Cruella, Ursula, and Maleficent themed glosses: Puppies!!!, Sad But True, and My Pet, respectively.

Price & Packaging
Each lipgloss retailed for $7.00, but was available as a part of the Villains bundles, too.
Packaging-wise, the glosses come in clear tubes with black caps featuring holographic designs inspired by the villains. Unfortunately, the gloss applicator is a brush tip. These types of applicators are best-suited for nail polishes, not gloss.
Gloss Swatches
Even though the glosses look very different in the tubes, the color payoff is incredibly sheer. On the lips these don’t show a lot of color variation.

Application & Wear-Time
I hated the feeling of applying these glosses to the lips. I don’t enjoy brush applicators for glosses. Brushes adequately apply lip glosses. Also, the brushes get scraggly and scratchy over-time.
Beyond the applicator, I disliked the thick, sticky texture. Also, the colors looked almost milky on my lips. The irredescant coloring and glitter particles made my lips look washed out. Additionally, the glosses only stayed shiny for an hour or so.
Bad or Rad
Overall, I do not recommend the Ultra Glossy Lips to anyone. More specifically, I don’t recommend these glosses to Disney-lovers either. These glosses are so sticky that they aren’t even worth $7.00.
Lux Lipsticks
The ColourPop Creme Lux and Matte Lux Lipsticks promise to be long-wearing, lightweight lipsticks that won’t dry out the lips. ColourPop claims these lipsticks are super pigmented and apply with ease. I picked up the shades Ursula and Maleficent from the Disney Villains Collection.

Price & Packaging
The ColourPop x Disney Villains lipsticks were available as singles or within kits. A standalone lipstick retailed for $8.00, while the full collection bundle retailed for $48.00. Each lipstick came in a villain-specific kit, too. Every shade in the collection was named after the villain that inspired the shade.
The ColourPop x Disney Villains lipsticks came in matte black tubes with silver designs imprinted overtop. In fact, the designs match the prints on the glosses. Despite being so affordable, the packaging feels heavy and sturdy. Also, I appreciated that the shade name was printed on the bottom of each tube. Finally, each lipstick had the word “VILLAINS” imprinted on it. Personally, I loved this little design touch.
Lipstick Swatches
First, I apologize for the blurry swatch photos.
Maleficent is a magenta Creme Lux Lipstick, while Ursula is a blackened plum Matte Lux Lipstick. Maleficent swatched easily, while Ursula required more building. The difference in formula was likely the reason.

Application & Wear-Time
Both Maleficent and Ursula wore well throughout the day when worn over a lip liner. Also, neither lipstick transferred or made my lips feel dry. However, Ursula required building to reach full opacity on the lips.
Bad or Rad
Overall, I think the Villains lipsticks were worth the money given the design and overall quality.
Final Thoughts on the ColourPop x Disney Villains Collection
Overall, the best thing about this collection was the packaging that the Disney Designer Team dreamed up. While I was impressed by the quality of the eyeshadow palette, the ColourPop x Disney Villains Collection was not a must-buy for anyone (except Disney fanatics).
Also, I want to reiterate that I do not recommend the Ultra Glossy Lips to anyone. The glosses felt sticky and uncomfortable on the lips. For a better lip gloss formula from ColourPop, try the Lux Glosses. ColourPop’s newest addition to the gloss family is meant to be a dupe for Kylie’s well-loved High Gloss formula.

I’ve actually never used a Colourpop product… ever. I need to up my game!
ahhh be aware – once you start purchasing from them, it become soooo addictive!
I wish those lipglosses were liquid eyeshadows!
oooo liquid eyeshadows would have been amazing for this collection!!
Ikr!
I love how bold and bright those high impact eyeshadows were! It’s really a shame that the lip glosses didn’t work out, they looked really interesting from the tube and I thought they would show through more. The lipstick shades are sooo beautiful, I’d get both although the Ursula one took more to put on. Thanks for sharing this LP! ColourPop has some really great stuff 🙂

I was so bummed about the glosses – plus the applicator is just strange. I don’t get why some brands use brush tip applicators like this… it always feels unpleasant lol.
I’m so glad you reviewed this collection as I needed some more inspiration to use the palette! It’s such a gorgeous collection especially due to the concept and that packaging. I love it!! I only picked up the palette and two lipsticks but I adore them! I love how thorough you are, this is why I will always come to you for reviews on products!

Thank you so much, Alex. <3 I think you were smart to only grab a few things – I def have a bit of buyers remorse having purchasing so much but realizing I don't feel a desire to reach for most of it. Oh well – at least I've learned my lesson.
I love how Disney villains are getting some love here! Pretty cool that ColourPop did a great job with finding colors that can represent the different villains while looking nice. I love how it looks on you! Big plus that all of them are super affordable as well. The lipstick looks neat as well. Thanks for sharing!

Was definitely a very cool collection but wish I reached for what I purchased more!
Wow the packaging for this is insane, I would have to agree though that it seems as though this collection isn’t a must have and would definitely be something more suited to a massive Disney fan, or at least in terms of the eyeshadow palette, someone who has nothing like that in their collection. I love how thorough your reviews are, I can always count on you for honest opinions and thoughts! xx
Thanks, girl! <3 It honestly bums me out how I don't feel inspired to use the majority of what I bought.
Colourpop is definitely an addictive brand! I feel like I just need every product they launch lol. The Misunderstood palette is so stunning! I get what you say about the glosses, I actually never reached for it again after testing it for my review…
I mean wow, look at those colours! The pain and panic is my favourite shadow and I love the blue jelly! Such incredible colours. I wish I was a person that could pull off brightly coloured eyeshadows.
Great review of the product.
Thank you for sharing.

Huge Disney fan, so I had to check this review out. The eyeshadows were definitely my favorite. I loveeee the colors – the look you created is stunning!!!! I really like the idea of this collection, even if not all of the products were promising. Thanks for sharing.
Much love always,

Aw thank you girl – I’m a Disney addict, too! I wonder if they’ll come out with a round 3 collaboration.
I love love love the colors in this palette – they just look so vibrant and fun to play with. And, what’s great, is there are the standard shimmers included too! I’ve heard such great things about ColorPop, especially how friendly their prices are.
I would have thought just about all palettes come with mirrors, that’s surprising a mirror wasn’t included. They all look like they swatch so well, especially with amazing pigment based on the photo! The downside is the fallout and that they crumble a bit, so maybe it’d be good to mix with another palette so there’s not too much crumbling?
I love the eye look you did with the Misunderstood palette! It’s so nice and subtle, and reminds me of Maleficent.
The Jelly Much Eyeshadows seem fun to play with – since it doesn’t have fallout perhaps the Jelly Much and Misunderstood palette can be used together?
YESS they included a mirror in the highlighters! At least they have a mirror in something! They don’t seem to shine as bright as a I thought they would!
Between the lipsticks, I’d have to say Ursula seems like such an autumn colored lipstick! I love the red one too – Maleficent sounds like it applied amazingly!
WOW – thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful comment. It really is a beautiful color story and you can totally use the Jelly Much Shadow with normal pressed shadows. You’re right, Ursula would totally make a great lippie for fall.
I think that eye shadow pallet is amazing, especially for the price! I might have to go for a search to see where I can find it. It might encourage me to be a little braver with my make-up!

I think ColourPop can definitely help people jump out of their comfort zones with makeup because of how inexpensive their products are! It makes it less intimidating to try something new, especially when they’re having a sale or with a discount code!
What a fun collection! I love the dark packaging & I cannot believe those metallic swatches from the palette– soooo gorgeous! I also freakin’ love the Jelly Much shadows.
The highlighters def are more subtle than they appear in their pans. I totally get why you don’t reach for them often. They do have the best design though along with the lipsticks. The ‘villains’ imprint is an awesome touch!!
What a shame about the lipgloss. 🙁 Thanks for your honest reviews, LP! ♡
The packaging and the shadows were the really standout products in the collection. I wish I loved the lippies and highlighters more, but still appreciate how beautiful the packaging was with the neon designs.
I love Colorpop and it caught my eye when I saw the blog post on Twitter. I’ve taken a break from buying makeup, but thanks for the review so I’ll be more informed when I start again! 🙂
Taking a break from buying makeup is a very healthy mindset to have, but I’m glad you enjoyed this review. ColourPop is such an affordable and high-quality brand! 🌈❤️
I`ve never tried ColourPop before but was very tempted by this collection. However, the colours in the palette are not for me, as I prefer more neutrals. Very tempted to try the lipsticks though, especially since we`re getting into autumn and I love darker lipsticks.
The packaging for this is amazing, lelly eyeshadows are my favorites from this collection.
*Jelly eyeshadows
The packaging is amazing for sure, but I just wish I wanted to reach for the items in this collection more often.
