Finally, the palette we have all been begging for in the comments of every single instagram post of Colourpop. Great to see a brand actually listen to their audience. I'm very glad that its a truly green palette and not neutral with a pop of green or half neutrals. I picked it up along with some bits and bobs when it went live. I also have some swatches of the Huda beauty Emerald obsessions since everyone is probably wonder how these green palettes compare.
Colourpop - Just My Luck (natural indirect light)
Huda Beauty - Emerald Obsessions (nautral indirect light)
As you can tell from the swatches, Just My Luck generally contains brighter green eyeshadows as compared to Emerald Obsessions, which seems a bit more earthy/muted in tones. The mattes of Just My Luck are much more pigmented, while the shimmers in Emerald obsessions are more brillant/shinier/glittery. This goes without saying that the Huda beauty's palette will have more fallout due to the glitter of some shades. A person can definiety create similar eye looks with both, however if your as particular and crazy like I am with makeup collecting then both have just enough of a difference to warrant obtaining both the green palettes from Colourpop and Huda Beauty.

Here are comparision swatches of the 4 most similar shades in each. I'm just going to go by Colourpop's naming system considering Huda beauty's individual shadows aren't named.
Chances are... - Matte Mint Green. Huda's is a bit lighter, but overall so similar I doubt anyone will be able to tell the difference if worn on opposite eyes.
Charmed - Matte olive. Huda's is a cooler matte olive compared to the warmth in Colourpop's matte olive.
Act Natural - Matte green. These are actually quite a bit different.Huda's is lighter matte with a bluer understone, while Colourpop is a slighty truer green (but still more blue toned than Mo Bamba).
Olive U - Shimmery Olives. Not very similar at all. Colourpop's is much more lighter and yellow toned.
Welp, now I just wish colourpop came out with an all purple palette. I doubt it will happen considering they are marketing It's My Pleasure as their Purple Pallete. My annoyance with it is that there are only 2 purple shadows, while the rest are berries/pinks. It should actually be considered a berry pallete if anything.
