lizzie mcguire makeup review (colourpop lip gloss and blush)

Like a lot of Millennials, Lizzie McGuire has a special place in my heart. Though I loved pretty much all Disney Channel content growing up...Lizzie was extra special. She was awkward and unsure, but always tried to do the right thing. Somehow, she felt more relatable than a lot of other television characters. At the same time, she was still inspirational, thanks to her incredible fashion sense. I remember being totally obsessed with her crimped hair and colourful outfits. (I also remember playing "Lizzie McGuire: On the Go!" on my Gameboy Advance obsessively.) I definitely wanted to be like Lizzie. When the ColourPop collection was announced a few years back, it immediately caught my eye. However, buying makeup online is always such a gamble. Will it arrive broken? Will the colours look nice in person? Will there be extra duties to pay? In the end, I didn't buy the products. Lucky for me, a few of them ended up at my local Winners recently. What a thrill! I was able to take a couple of Lizzie inspired products home with me for a fraction of the cost. Find out how these nostalgic beauty items performed...

So Juicy Dear Diary Plumping Gloss Duo. The first Lizzie McGuire themed item that I found was this themed lip gloss duo. It came with two different glosses in the shades: Lizzie and Miranda. These lip glosses were so nicely themed as was the outer packaging. Everything just feels so perfectly Lizzie inspired. This little set is adorable and is currently being displayed in my beauty room. As for the performance? No, no, no. These glosses were so thick and sticky that it felt like my lips were covered in glue. It was awful. I had to remove the gloss right away and will literally never use them again. This is for display only! 

Pressed Powder Blush in Dee-lish! The next Lizzie McGuire themed item was far more successful. This blush is so adorable. It has cartoon Lizzie on the front with a fabulous floral design inside. It is really fun and colourful. The blush itself is a shimmery pink. It definitely takes me back to the 2000s. I love all of the glitter and shimmer that this particular blush has. (Though it certainly won't be for everyone.) I can't think of too many blushes in my collection that are actually glittery. Since I love glitter in absolutely everything...this is perfect for me. This product makes me happy to look at thanks to the cute packaging, but it also performs really well. I look forward to incorporating this Lizzie-esque blush in many future makeup looks. 

You win some, you lose some. When it comes to these Lizzie McGuire products from ColourPop, there were definitely some hits and misses. The blush is fabulous, themed, and sparkly, but the lip glosses feel like glue on the lips. No thanks! At any rate, these items will be on display, which means that every now and then, I will remember to ask myself: What Would Lizzie Do? 

Have you ever tried anything from ColourPop? Are you a fan of Lizzie McGuire?
