Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the ColourPop x Kathleen Lights The Zodiac Palette which is the last product in the Zodiac Collection.
As you can see the colours don’t really flow together perfectly because when Kathleen picked the shades she chose shades that adapt with each zodiac sign so the palette is not super cohesive and it’s meant to be used combined with other ones.
I’m honestly ok with it since as you might already know by now I HAVE A LOT of palettes so I don’t need the basic shades but I like to add some fun pop of colours once in a while I thought this palette would be perfect for that.
You can get it here for 18$.
PACKAGING
I love the packaging. The cardboard box where it comes in it’s black with rose gold zodiac details while the actual palette is dark blue with the same rose gold details. The shades names are on the back and under the shades.
It comes with a mirror on the inside which is pretty handy too.
Overall I like it and in my opinion, it looks more expensive than what it is.
PIGMENTATION & FORMULA
There are four mattes and seven shimmers and one satin.
All the shades have medium pigmentation and most of them are easy to blend.
I prefer to use the shimmers with your finger (or with a wet brush) they just work better like this and you won’t get a lot of fall down.
The two matte browns blend beautifully but The Aquarius needs a bit more help and layering (Kathleen said that in her video too) with one coat it’s a bit patchy.
APPLICATION
The shimmer shades are easier to put on with your fingers to reduce the fall down.
The Scorpio and The Aquarius are a little harder to use and they can get a bit patchy.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
With a primer, they last about 8 hours before fading.
LOOKS
(I know these looks are not the prettiest but I wanted to show you as many colours as possible in action on the eyes)
RATINGS:
- Colour: 8/10
- Longevity: 9/10
- Application: 8/10
- Texture: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 8/10
- Packaging: 8/10
GRADE: B+
This palette is really nice, I like the shade range. The formula is good on most shades. I don’t mind to use my fingers for the shimmer but I’m sure that it would be a problem for some people. Apart from those two more tricky shades, the other shades are really pretty. I would recommend it if you want an affordable palette to add some colours to your collection.

Always love how you break down the review. This product seems very versatile. I personally too use my finger but I’m sure that’s not for everyone. I love golds since personally they go well with my skin. And not knowing much it’s always safe for a slight glow.
Thank you so much! Your words mean a lot, you are the kindest ?
This is such a great palette. I love all of the bright colors and especially the ones that appear to have some sparkle to them!
They always brighten up a look don’t they?! ✨?
I like this palette more than I thought I would. When Kathleen first revealed it I was a bit meh about the colours but it’s a pretty palette x
I totally see your point, maybe because of how they are organised? But I was quite impressed with it too ✨?
Swatches though ? everything from the packaging to the looks are on point! Great review x
Thank you! I can’t believe that price, it’s so well made ??
i definitely don’t have enough palettes to make this work, but it’s absolutely stunning & i love the theme ?? that top look is really cool, LOVE that teal shade!
Thank you girl, I honestly think it can work on its own too to be honest and it’s so affordable you can’t go wrong ??
oooooh good to know, thank you!! ??
Such pretty looks! I love that “The Libra” is a nude shade cause it’s neutral haha
Hahaha it’s actually one of my favourite shades ??
I am loving the shades of this zodiac palette. It looks really pigmented and easy to blend.
It totally is, I love it 🙂
This is a fun and awesome color concept. Great pics. You are so good at blending the colors for an elegant look. xx ?
Thank you so much sweetheart <3
I love all the colors in this makeup book! They would go great with some of the eye makeup I have. 🙂
I’m glad you found something new to add to your collection
This palette looks so fun to try some cool ideas out!
Totally xx
Great review. I thought the packaging was gorgeous and I understand why she chose each shade and everything but it didn’t seem like something I REALLY wanted in my collection compared to Dream St, but that’s just me lol
Thank you for reading girl, I’m the exact opposite, wasn’t into Dream St at all xD
I love the shade range of this pallete!! Great review xx
It’s so pretty! Thank you ?
