Day Dreaming
ColourPop Day Dreaming 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new palette for Target that is slightly cooler-toned and leaned rosy overall. It was lighter-leaning, though, so it may not suit all skin tones due to the desaturated shades coupled with their lightness. The quality was so-so; most of the mattes were a little more powdery than typical, while two of the shimmers were more prone to fallout.

The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.
