Few brands encourage my impulse shopping habits more than indie beauty darling, ColourPop. Not only does the brand create inexpensive, high-quality cosmetics, but they are constantly rolling out new launches and keeping up with the latest trends. Additionally, ColourPop frequently offers promotions that enable shoppers to buy their goods for a discounted price!

I am a huge fan of the brand’s Pressed Powder and Super Shock eyeshadow formulas, but hadn’t tried much else from the brand. Unfortunately for my wallet, ColourPop ran a few promotions over the last few months that prompted me to pick up goodies en masse. Not going to lie, this is a lot of stuff – but again, I paid very little for each items and quite a few things were actually free with my purchases. Please keep reading to see what I snagged.

After two years of following a very strict financial diet, I decided to treat myself with a little splurge at Sephora and CVS. By and large, I purchased items that I needed rather than things I wanted on an impulse, so I’m proud of the restraint that I showed.

Please keep reading if you want to hear my thoughts on the following moisturizers, sunscreens, and treatments.
