Sugarpill::Heart Breaker

 As many of you Sugarpill freaks know, they just released their new palette, The Heart Breaker Palette, May 18th. I was pretty excited about it. I ordered mine at 12:15 am on the 18th, kind of expecting it to sell out quickly. Needless to say, I was happy with the purchase, but even MORE happy when I finally got it. No, you will not see un-boxing pics becuase that's just boring. Rather, I did some comparison shots compared to my other two Sugarpill palettes (The Cold Heart and Burning Heart palettes). SO without further adieu, let the fun begin!


  Like always, I got a free sticker with my palette as well as a sample of magentric which wont be pictured becuase I gave it away before I took pics. I really like the new stickers too!! 

The picture below is one of the old box compared to the new box. (I wrote on my boxes becuase the burning heart and cold heart palettes were impossible to decipher from the outside which was which)


Very cute packaging to say the least...I like that they used the word "delicious" becuase they really are!!


I am loving the blue instead of the pink on the new palette too! Glad to see them change more then the just the colors inside...


This is a no flash picture. The colors by name are (clockwise from the top):
  •  Acidberry- A super neon chartruse green matte shadow. I will say this one is my fav color in the whole palette.
  • Velocity- A deep royal blue matte shadow, reminds me of a pressed, non-sparkly version of royal sugar.
  • Mochi- A light seafoam green with a silver sheen. I would love an old chevy painted this exact color...
  • 2am- Light red based purple magenta with a tiny hint of blue, sparkly sheen.

In the next picture, I took the new Heart Breaker  palette and put it next to my Cold Heart palette. I mainly did this so that everyone could compare 2am to poison plum, and velocity to afterparty.


This is a close up of the pans with flash. This is a good picture to see the blueish sheen in the 2am and silvery sheen in the Mochi.  Acidberry and Velocity appear to have some sheen, but I dont think they do, they apply very matte.


One thing I did notice about this palette is that 3 out of 4 of the colors are kind of powdery upon swatching. Later, I used it for a look to put on this blog, and they applied with very little to no fallout which was good for me. I was a little worried with I saw how dusty they were. Ended up being not being a big deal...


This picture was before I blew the access off...


AFTER I blew off the powder. My swatch was done over dry skin, no primer. Also, with no flash in natural sunlight. Even for being on dry skin, they are very pigmented and velvety. 


Lastly, this is the look I created only using colors from this palette. The colors are wonderful to work with, easy to blend and build-able.  The only editing I did to this pic was a crop. Those are true to the color with a flash.


I hope you all loved this review and my swatches. <3 ya!

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!
