— March 17, 2025 — Fashion
ColourPop is launching its first-ever collaboration with Pixar’s Toy Story, celebrating the film’s 30th anniversary with a nostalgic, character-inspired makeup collection. This exclusive release reimagines ColourPop’s fan-favorite formulas with new shades and packaging that pay tribute to the beloved animated classic.

The collection features the ‘Toys Are Here’ Eyeshadow Palette, a 15-pan selection of highly pigmented and blendable shades inspired by Toy Story. The ‘Play All Day Jelly Much Trio’ offers vibrant metallic gel eyeshadows in colors inspired by Forky, Hamm, and Lotso. The ‘Chosen One’ Lip Mask, enriched with Raspberry Seed Oil, Shea Butter, and Vitamin E, provides deep hydration with a playful sour candy swirl, reminiscent of the Aliens. The ‘BFF Volumizing Mascara in Roar!’ delivers bold volume in a striking lime green shade inspired by Rex.

Completing the lineup, the ‘Ultra Glossy Lips’ collection features four sheer, high-shine glosses infused with Hyaluronic Acid, inspired by Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Bo Peep, and Jessie. The full collection and product bundles will be available online at ColourPop.com on March 20 and at ULTA Beauty both online and in stores on March 28.
