Secret Admirer
ColourPop Secret Admirer 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, red-themed palette that included coral to fuchsia to red shades. There were four shimmer shades and five matte shades. There was some redundancy, as it ended up being a more monochromatic color story, so it was better used with a few shades rather than extending to all or most of them.

$4.50/0.05 oz. – $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.

2 Cute
2 Cute is a neon fuchsia pink with strong, cool blue undertones and a frosted finish. The texture was firmer and stiffer to work with, so I had to really push at the surface using the edge of my brush to get product to come off the pan. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation that wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

C U Tonite
C U Tonite is a deep, coppery plum with warm, red undertones and a metallic finish. It had a soft, more yielding consistency that felt loosely-pressed while still being more emollient, so it adhered exceptionally well to bare skin and yielded full pigmentation. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.
