ColourPop Introduces its 'A Shadow of Secrets Collection'

— January 16, 2025 — Fashion
ColourPop unveils its exclusive 2025 Valentine’s Day 'A Shadow of Secrets Collection,' drawing inspiration from the world of dark romance and fantasy lore. This limited-edition line features rich, romantic hues designed to evoke the intensity of epic love stories. With products suitable for everything from sultry date-night looks to book-club-inspired beauty, this collection promises to add passion and mystique to any occasion.

The 'A Shadow of Secrets Eyeshadow Palette' boasts 15 shades, ranging from smoky plums to bold silvers, offering matte, metallic, and glitter finishes. Complementing this is the 'So Juicy Plumping Gloss Balm,' which hydrates, plumps, and adds a glossy finish in shades like 'Forbidden Love' and 'Spice Level.' The collection also includes the 'Instant Crush Lip & Cheek Balm,' providing a dewy flush, along with 'Anti-Hero' and 'Slow Burn Lip Kits' for a bold lip.

Completing the set is the 'Kiss of Darkness Kit,' a lip scrub and mask duo that nourishes and smooths lips for the ultimate Valentine’s Day look.
