Sugarpill's 2nd Anniversary Goodies


Look what I got in the mail last saturday!



Sugarpill was having a sale on the Chromalust Loose Eyeshadows and Palettes to celebrate their 2nd birthday! It was cute becuase the coupon code was "Cake". I have somewhat of an obsession with this independent indie makeup company straight outta Cali! How could I resist splurging?! I don't know becuase I couldn't LOL! I already have all the pressed shadows, BUT I am still working on my Chromalust collection. I did pick up three more and got some lashes, not to mention some more stickers. I also got a second sample of Lumi.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So lets get into what I got. The first one up is Tiara. This is a brilliant, shinny silver. Can't wait to dazzle up some looks using this color. 



The swatch was done dry, with no primer. The picture on the left was taken inside, with flash. The picture on the right is done in sunlight to capture some of the sparkle in natural light.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next color up is Weekender. This color is a vivid violet, with some pink and blue glitters. Its really pretty, and I see it being a wonderful addition to a dramatic smokey eye.

This next color is the one I was most excited about. I have been waiting forever and EVER to finally buy this color. Every time I watched/read a review, there is nothing bad to say. Its simply gorgeous!!! If you have not guessed already, I was talking about the famous GOLDILUX!! This is a high shine gold dust. The color is an amazing, lovely pigment that glitters for days! I am in love.

This was the first time I got lashes from them. They just recently added a bunch of new lashes, so I was curious. I went with something more natural looking. Sure, I get fake lashes are far from natural, but I wanted something to enhance what I already have going. I went with the "Saint" set. They are full and fluffy. I am going to wait until I pick up some good adhesive before I try to apply them. So, what do you think?! GORG right?!


I also got an extra "Sugarpill" logo sticker, and one of the new Kitty w/the pill
stickers (large). They are so cute, but I don't know where to put them! Maybe over my desk at work :D


Last picture is of my Lumi sample. I love how they do the samples. Despite how much might look like is in the little baggie, there's enough for more then a few applications. This is the second time I have received a sample of Lumi, so I decided to give it to my bestie. Hope she loves it as much as I love this line. I can not wait to collect all the loose shadows!!


I hope you all enjoyed! Questions, comments and compliments all loved!

Urban Decay Clearance Mini-Haul

I wanted to show you some things I got from Urban Decays clearance section on their website. Both products purchased were marked down beyond NOT indulging! So I did just that...with shipping included I only paid about $22 for both and it came with a cool free sample. So enjoy the pics to come...

What I purchased was the 24/7 Glide-On Pencil Duo (in Whiskey and Flipside) + The Grindhouse Sharpener and Matte eyeshadow in Chronic. The free sample I got was the Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint in Quickie smart card.


 _____________________________________________________________


 The Duo pencils in Whiskey & Flipside. Whiskey is a rich, chocolate brown, and Flipside is a bright, aquamarine blue thats kind of shimmery. These pencils work great for lining your lid to add color, as a base to add color and dimension to eyeshadow, and they even work great on your waterline. 

Originally this set was $29, I got it for $12. What a great deal since the sharpener sold separately is $10. Steal!

  _____________________________________________________________

The Matte Eyeshadow in Chronic is a lime green matte eyeshadow. In the pan, it looks like it has some light blueish green shimmer, but once applied I couldn't see it. Its very plush in texture, and very VERY pigmented. This swatch was on dry skin, no primer.  This was originally $17, I got it for $3!!! WHOA, I know...

_____________________________________________________________

My free sample was of this cream blush. Its kind of funny I got it becuase for a few weeks I was pondering the thought of a cream blush, and I had never tried one before. After opening and trying it, I was hooked. At first, I was kind of shocked to see the color and thought "Wow, what am I going to do with this HOT PINK blush?!" But once I tried it, its a lot more sheer. With just a dab, I applied it over my foundation the last few days, and I'm in love. I want to buy this product full size, but in a peach tone. Its super easy to blend and buildable. Definitely some good marketing UD, you got me!



I hope you all enjoyed and remember, if you haven't already done so, please follow me!
 Always appreciated <3

Never Die Purple Eye

Oh my gosh! 
If you were in Barstow the last few nights, you would know we have been going through a HUGE thunder/lightening storm. Watching from my window, I get a glimmer of inspiration. The clouds were dark and the lightening would cut through like a warm knife to butter. The sky would light up this brilliant violent VIOLET! I loved it...so I re-created it. Im keeping this short and sweet, only one pic, so I hope you enjoy!! 

Products Used:

Stay doll, LOVELIES!!!
