twilight week: colourpop collection (body oil and ink liner)

It's all Twilight all the time here on the creation of beauty is art. The second post in this theme week is dedicated to the SOL Shimmering Dry Body Oil and Graphix Ink Liner from the Twilight x ColourPop collection. As mentioned in my last post, these wonderful items were gifted to me by one of my oldest friends. I have been putting everything in the collection to good use in the last few weeks. One thing is certain: these themed beauty products have been adding a little extra dose of fun to my days! They have also inspired me to do a full rewatch of the movies. These days, I am fully immersed in the world of Twilight. 

Twilight x ColourPop SOL Shimmering Dry Body Oil in Like Diamonds. Maybe it is the Twilight obsession in me talking, but when I think of vampires, I think of sparkling skin. That is the reason the SOL Shimmering Dry Body Oil is such an important part of this Twilight inspired collection. It just makes sense! Generally speaking, shimmering body products are a love of mine. Anything that glitters, twinkles, and shines makes me happy. This body oil is described as a lightweight oil with multidimensional shimmer. As you can see from the photo above, this absolutely delivers on the shimmer and shine. It really does look like diamonds all over the skin. An added bonus? It smells so good. This oil has a light scent that is kind of sweet and smells a bit like coconut. I love how shimmery this is and look forward to adding an extra dash of sparkle and shine to my life. 

Twilight x ColourPop Graphix Ink Liner. There were three eyeliners included in this Twilight collection: Forever, Vampire, and Coven. These are really interesting colours and certainly stand out from others that I have tried before. Though I tend to use a pen liner (like the NYX Epic Ink Liner) this more traditional style of liquid liner is easy to use. The applicator tip is flexible but not too flexible. It works like a dream! I also love the Twilight quotes written all over the packaging and the Twilight logo. Even the eyeliners are themed and thoughtful. The shade Coven is a glittery black, Vampire is a vampy red, and Forever is a forest green. Forever is one that is going to be worked into lots of holiday makeup looks, because the metallic green colour is fabulous. Coven is a nice twist on an everyday liner, because there is glitter worked into the traditional black. But the best one of all is Vampire, which is a rich red. That is the liner I chose to incorporate into my birthday makeup look a few weeks back. 

In the makeup look above, there were all sorts of Twilight x ColourPop products put to use. On the eyes, there were some of the eyeshadows (there will be a full review of the eyeshadow palette later this week) and then the fabulous Vampire eyeliner. Since black eyeliner is an everyday must for me...it was kind of fun to wear something completely different. I loved the dark red and how it paired with the other products in the collection. On the lips was the Bells lip oil to finish off the look. And of course, there was a bit of the SOL Shimmering Dry Body Oil on the décolletage and arms for a little extra sparkle and shine. 

The Twilight themed collection from ColourPop has an awful lot of exciting products. From the thoughtful packaging to the vampy colours and all of the sparkle...there is so much to love. For me, this has been a really fun way to incorporate some unexpected pops of colour into my more recent makeup looks and break out of my usual makeup routine. 

What do you think of this Twilight makeup collection? Would you wear colourful eyeliner?
