But before we dive into the dazzling details of the ColourPop X Twilight Collection, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane.

Whether you were Team Edward or Team Jacob, you couldn’t escape the buzz surrounding Bella, Edward, and Jacob’s adventures.
Now, fast forward to today, and Twilight’s magic is still alive and well. ColourPop, known for its awesome pop-culture makeup, has decided to capture the enchantment of Twilight in a makeup collection. Imagine reliving the excitement of Forks High School, vampire baseball, and the suspenseful moments in the misty forests – all through the power of makeup!

The excitement reached a fever pitch on January 5 when ColourPop tantalizingly teased the upcoming collection on Instagram. Fans, long-awaiting a Twilight-inspired line, couldn’t contain their enthusiasm. The official confirmation came on January 8, accompanied by the cryptic caption ‘Say it. Out loud.’ The collection is set to grace the virtual shelves of the ColourPop website starting January 11, promising to ship internationally, including Australia.
The ColourPop X Twilight collection unfolds with three magical products: Lux Lip Oil, Super Shock Highlighter, and ‘Like Diamonds’ SOL Shimmering Dry Oil – each designed to encapsulate the otherworldly charm of Twilight. And, an eyeshadow palette.

Super Shock Highlighter

No Twilight-inspired collection would be complete without a luminous highlighter. ‘Meadow,’ a duo-chrome lavender shade, and ‘Vampire Skin,’ a sparkly, icy white, promise to deliver a radiant glow reminiscent of Edward within the Twilight universe.
These highlighters invite makeup enthusiasts to embrace the ethereal shine associated with vampires and werewolves. However, they didn’t have any of their highlighters with “Skin of a Killer,” either.

Move over, Bella, there’s a new diamond in Forks (and it’s not Edward’s abs). ColourPop’s Twilight collab brought us not just epic highlighters and sparkly lip glosses, but a hidden gem: the “Like Diamonds” SOL Shimmering Dry Oil.
This shimmering elixir promises to leave your skin kissed by sunlight and as faceted as a Cullens’ cheekbone. But is it a vampire slayer of a body product, or just a glittery mirage? It is, a luxurious, hydrating body oil that leaves your skin radiant and subtly shimmering.
