Hola Beauties! It’s time for my first eye shadow review. Today, I want to share my thoughts on the Colourpop Uh-Huh Honey and Baby Got Peach Review.
This is the first time I have tried colourpop, and I heard so much about it that my expectations were high, so I want to bring my thoughts and these two eye shadow palettes that everybody talks about to see if they are really that good.

My Colourpop Story
Colourpop eyeshadow palettes have always been a brand I wanted to try someday. Their makeup is not easy to find in Canada, so the only option is to order online, which I am not a massive fan of, considering how delicate eyeshadows are and how much you pay for shipping.
Watching and reading beauty influencers’ reviews always makes me curious about buying them, so I finally decided to give them a chance.
I bought four eye shadow palettes to start with :
1. Going Coconuts
2. Baby Got Peach
3. Uh – Huh Honey
4. Gold As Gold
You can find these palettes on the Colourpop Website:
Eyeshadow Palettes Impressions
I want to focus this post on the Colourpop Uh-Huh Honey and Baby Got Peach Review since these are the ones that got my attention the most. Since my collection didn’t have a full palette with yellow and peach tones, I played with them first.
Packaging: 🌺🌺🌺🌺
The packaging is cute and of good quality. The eyeshadows come in a nine-by-nine-inch rigid plastic container with the palette’s name in big print on top.
When you open them, both palettes have a decent-sized mirror. The eyeshadows are pressed in a metal pan attached to the package, so you can sometimes feel them move.
The shades’ name is printed inside and on a sticker at the back.
Palettes Shades: 🌺🌺🌺
ColourpopUh-huh Honey
Mattes 5: the shades are a bit similar; in my opinion, you can not create many different looks with this palette since once you apply them to the lid, they look almost the same, except for “Buzz Kill,” which is the darker shade in the palette.
Metallics 3: I like the metallics in this palette; they are beautiful. “Dandy” and “Queen B” are more gold-toned, one darker than the other, and “Sunburst” is more yellow-toned with green reflectors.
Glitter 1: Bright Yellow. I think this shade is pretty to add on top of the metallics for extra shine; however, it has too much fallout, so if you are going to use it, it is better to do your eye makeup before you apply your base.

Mattes 5: The shades are pretty, and you can create cute eye looks; however, like Uh-huh Honey, some of them are very similar, like “Perky” and “Okurr,” which look the same on my lid.
“Centerfold” is the shade with more impact. It is a beautiful peach that is not similar to the other colors in the palette.
Metallics 3: Pretty Tones. “Get Even” is a peachy tone with golden reflectors. “Glaze it” is a beautiful dark peach, and “Ready or Yacht” is a bright peach with white sparkles.
Glitter 1: White. I’m not a fan of this shade. Instead of this glitter, they could add another matte shade to the palette.
Blending and Pigmentation: 🌺🌺🌺 Because the shimmers are incredible
The pigmentation in the mattes is okay but not great. When I tried to swatch them, I had to pick up the product around three times to see the color.
When I applied them to the lid, I had to dip the brush multiple times to build them up. Simultaneously, it was hard to blend them, especially the darkest shades. There was a lot of patchiness, and it took a lot of blending to get them to work finally, so be prepared for an arm workout, LOL.
For some reason, the shadows don’t work well together. If you apply one color, the blending is okay, but once you use a second shade, the patchiness gets bad. At least, that’s what happened to me, so I was a little disappointed.
The metallics are gorgeous, super pigmented, and don’t have much fallout. You can apply them both ways with your fingers or a brush; they look fantastic.
My favorite shades are “Queen B” from Uh-huh Honey and “Get Even” from Baby Got Peach; they are intense and look beautiful on the lid.
Durability: 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Even though you have to work to build the shadows, I have to say that they do last all day. The first time I used Uh-huh Honey, I went to a house party (this is after phase 3 in Ontario), and I wore my makeup for about 9 hours. By the time I took my makeup off, they still looked perfect. The same goes for Baby Got Peach; my eye makeup lasts me for about 6 hours.
Final thoughts
Colourpop Uh-huh Honey
I enjoy the story of this palette; you don’t see many yellow eyeshadow palettes, which is why I decided to buy it even though it is not in my comfort zone. Even though the shadows are not great, and it takes a lot of work to make them look good, I like the final look I created.
I don’t see myself reaching out too much for this palette except to use the metallics, which I think are beautiful and can be combined with other eye looks.
So, my final thought: I don’t think you need this palette, but if you are looking for a fun summer yellow vibe without breaking the bank, I think this palette is a good start. Keep in mind that you would have to work through the perfect look, which for the price of CAD 15 is not bad.
Colourpop Baby Got Peach
Even though I think this palette is pretty, I don’t think you need it. Looking deeply into my collection’s shades and other palettes, I can see that I already have some of them, except for “Get Even” and “Centerfold.”
So, when you think about it, if I want to get only these two shades, they will be around 6 CAD Each (the Price of single-pressed powder shadows ). You are getting a whole palette for CAD 15, so it is fair.
My final thought, the same as Uh-huh Honey, is that if you are looking for an all-peachy palette but don’t want to spend too much money, this is a good option. However, you have to keep in mind that the quality of the mattes is not the best, at least in my opinion.
