ColourPop’s New ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ Collection is Finally Here
With the announcement of ColourPop’s latest Disney collab, this Halloween feels a lot like Christmas. Whether we should be thanking Santa or Jack Skellington, we’re not sure. ColourPop Cosmetics, notorious for collections with killer theming, is channeling Tim Burton’s 1993 film The Nightmare Before Christmas. Cue the screams of excitement. The collection is a perfect holiday gift for any Nightmare Before Christmas fan, but it’s guaranteed to sell out. Keep reading to learn all about the collab and how to score it before it’s gone.
ColourPop first announced the collection on October 26, only five days before Halloween. The Mayor of Halloween Town would argue this is not enough time for the spooky season, but the snowflakes dancing on the packaging proves the collection is perfect for the holidays. It has everything you need and more—eyeliners, lipsticks, face crystals, glitter gel, jelly eyeshadows, a beauty sponge, and a stunning eyeshadow palette.
Throughout the collection, we see a theme of cool-toned neutrals with bright splashes of pink and purple. The eyeshadow palette ($22) has 12 whimsical shadows. There’s a coordinating jelly shadow ($10 apiece) for each color family, making up the beloved Trio of Terror. The Lux Lipsticks portray another famous trio—Jack, Sally, and Oogie Boogie. Sally’s is hot pink, matching part of the patchwork on her dress, Oogie Boogie is a cool neutral, and Jack’s is Santa red.
ColourPop also released their BFF Liquid Liners ($10 apiece) in two variants. ‘Scream Queen’ is a true black, a staple for any collection, while ‘Pumpkin King’ is a bright white. In true Skellington fashion, the glitter gel ($10) sparkles brighter than snow and completely steals the show. The glitter has the Pumpkin King’s face on the lid, almost like a stamp of approval. Jack wouldn’t be anywhere without his best companion Zero, who is adorably on his own beauty sponge ($8).
The new collection comes shortly after the highly-successful Hocus Pocus collabs hit their site. Both the coveted 2020 Gather ‘Round Sisters and the 2021 Coven Crew collections are mostly sold out, so how are you going to score the newest Disney collab?
