Sugarpill

I think everyone's been buzzing about Sugarpill since it came out. Anyone who knows me knows I just can't resist bold eyeshadow.

I bought the Burning Heart palette and Goldilux loose shadow.

This product arrived (quickly) with a loose shadow sample and a sticker in an adorable sugarpill printed box

I am still amazed at the pigmentation in these shadows.

In the pan the colours are vibrant and bold. application was a breeze because I needed barely a sweep across the pan with my brush to pick up adequate pigment. In fact, when I used it for a 'day look' I dabbed my brush on the pan because one swipe ended up being too much. The pans are gigantic as well. They are actually bigger than MUFE's giant pans. :)

One small small small drawback I noticed and I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but the purple stained my lids a TINY bit... I think this could be remedied next time by wearing the product over a MAC Paintpot.

It was barely noticeable but it's something I've noticed with MUFE's hot pink shadow as well so I know this isn't limited to just Sugarpill's formula.


This is pretty cool: 1 pressed shadow on this site is $12.00 but you can buy the 4 colour palette for  $34. It's like buy 3 get one free.

I was a little wary of buying the Goldilux loose shadow because it looks like pure glitter and my MAC glitters need a pretty hardcore glitter primer to make the product stick. Goldilux stuck very well on my lids with just a basic Too Faced Shadow Insurance schmear (yes, schmear)

It turned out a bit sheer the way I applied it (with a fluffy sweep brush) but its application was smooth and there was little fallout to clean up on my cheeks. It's buildable and I am sure with just a stickier primer, it would go on as a nice opaque gold. (so excited to try that)

I am so impressed with Sugarpill! I had no doubts in my mind that it would live up to this hype since I have yet to read one negative review about these.
