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.

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.

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

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! 

Don't forget to follow... <3

Its gotten late...

It may be late, but I am not going to let that stop me right now. Happy Veterans Day to all, I hope everyone had a splendid day! I know I did. I came back from blow drying my hair and I saw that one of my FAVORITE make up companies, Sugarpill, had posted MY blog on thir FB page, I was super stoked...it was wicked! Check it out..

WOOT WOOT!
Awesome right?! Anyways, on a side note,

I do have a picture of my EOTD for 11-11-11! It was very...
"Darling"




Also, here are my nails as of 11-11-11:



As far as a list of products used for both my eyes and nails, visit my Makeup Bee profile. Hope you all enjoyed this short and last minute blog entry. See ya soon! Stay Doll, Lovlies!

Halloween EOTD

October being my favorite month of all year, its no wonder I have been such a very bad blogger.

*BAD GEN*

 Anyways, I am here now to show off my Halloween eyeshadow of the day look. It is SO colorful and dramatic and daring, I created this look with some of my favorite Sugarpill products of all time.

SO...enjoy some pics!

 These are the Sugarpill Products I used:

• Midori (pressed grassy green)
• Tako (pressed super white)
• Poison Plum (pressed deep & bright purple)
• Bulletproof (pressed deep matte black)
• Dollipop (pressed super hot pink)
• Absinthe (loose acid-ee lime green)
• Afterrparty(pressed electric shimmery blue is also pictured but was not used in this look)

The Sugarpill Palette shown in this picture was the discontinued "Cold Heart Palette." I am SO glad I got one before they were discontinued. I ordered the burning heart and cold heart so I could double up on poison plum. I ordered midori and dollipop singles instead of the sweetheart palette.

In the picture above I show everything that I used to:

prep my lids, define my bows, create the precise line

& line my eye-lid/waterline/tight-line

• Scotch Tape
• Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Original (I re-potted the product after the original "genie-esque bottle it came in snapped in half)
• NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk
• MAC Impeccable Brow Pencil in Blonde
• MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
• Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
• NYX Fabulous Lashes in Nostalgia #128
• Maybelline Falsies Volum' Express Mascara in Black Drama

 In this picture I will show you The Body Needs products I used:

• TBN Blush In Passionate Kisses
• TBN Mineral Eyeshadow in Orchid in Violet
• TBN Mineral Eyeshadow in Shimmers Green

These are the products I used on my Face:

• Revlon ColorStay in 240 Medium Beige
• Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer
• L`Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Blush in  N 3-4 Innocent Flush
• MAC Studio Fix Powder in NW20

Here is a picture of my eye close up. I placed the tape at the end of my eye, lined up with the natural line on my bottom lash-line. I then applied my UDESPP on my lid, followed by a generous application of the NYX pencil in milk. I then patted the Midori on just my lid. Over that I smoothed on a layer of the Absinthe. Then from the outer corner I started to blend in the Poison Plum across my crease, followed by a light application of dollipop to blend it out to my brow. I then went in with the Bulletproof and applied that to the very corner down slightly into the midori/absinthe. I then put a tiny bit of the nyx milk under my brow/ inner corner of my eye to apply Tako under my brow and Shimmers Green in my inner corner. I applied the Orchid In Violet the blend the poison plum into the tako and blended the inner corner up just a bit. The last steps were to fill in my brows, line my eyes on my lid with the MAC Blacktrack, and line my waterline/tigh-line the top lash line with the UD pencil in zero. Last but not least, I added the lashes and blended my natural lashes in with the falsies mascara.

After I finished my eyeshadow, I removed the tape and proceed with my usual face make up regimen. I start with the Revlon smoothing primer, and apply a very thin and light layer. I then follow with my foundation (revlon colorstay), stipple it on with my foundation stippling brush. After that I brush on a light layer of the blush in passionate kisses and blend some of the true match blush over for a more flushed/shimmer look. Lastly, I set the remaining spots of my foundation with the MAC studio-fix powder.

As you can see in the next two pictures, I put my vampire fangs in that were used for my "Dr. Acula" costume. None of my halloween party pictures showed them off very well, so I decided to show them off here!

I hope you all enjoyed this post! If you have any comments, questions or suggestions

Stay Doll, Lovelies!

EPOCH PHAIL!!!

Something happened to me a few weeks ago that I hope never happens to anyone else, frankly, because its super not cool. On this sad day, I was startled by something, and I dropped my 

Ben Nye "Ice" pigment. R.I.P. lost product.

It landed upside down on my sugarpill palette...

(which allowed me a way to salvage as much as possible)

 

FML!!!

T_T

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:

Sugarpill Poison Plum, Tako and Paperdoll

MAC Fluidline Blacktrack

The Body Needs Blackened Violet

Ben Nye Ice

Stay doll, LOVELIES!!!

Absinthe

Today is Labor Day, so with that being said, maybe I should WORK on getting this new look posted to my blog! This look was not only posted on The Makeup Bee by me but...BUT the page from makeupbee.com was re-posted by SUGARPILL COSMETICS on facebook and, AND, also re-tweeted by sugarpill on twitter. Thus far, that was one of the most exciting moments as far as my make-up work goes! I was super happy.

SO today I am posting my EOTD look from Sept. 3rd 2011. I'm posting it just a few days late becuase I went with a haul blog yesterday. I wanted to spread them out a little instead of posting two posts in a day. So on saturday (9/3/11) I was about to get in the shower. Being the OCD freak I am, I needed to lay out what I was going to wear after I got out. I went with some shorts and my favorite Sublime shirt. 

The bright green wording on it reminded me of one of my newest sugarpill purchases (which was still like 5 months ago). Sugarpill has this Loose Eyeshadow called "Absinthe". It's a yummy, bright, acid-ee green! It will have you seeing "Little Green Fairies" all day!

The products I used were:

-Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Original

-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil "Milk"

-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil "Cottage Cheese"

-MAC Pigment "Vanilla"

-The Body Needs Pigment "Lemon-Lime"

-The Body Needs Pigment "Lemon Drop"

-Sugarpill Chromalust Loose Shadow "Absinthe"

-Sugarpill Pressed Shadow "Tako"

-MAC Fluidline "Blacktrack"

-MAC Impeccable Brow Pencil "Blonde"

-Maybelline Falsies Winged Mascara "Blackest Black"

Here are some pics of the look up close:

Creating this look was lots of fun and the colors were delicious! So until my next moment of brilliance, I leave you with this! Stay doll, LOVELIES!!

Makeup Geek Haulage

Hey zom'b lovers! This is officially my very first Haul blog post! As you could probably tell by the title, its from the makeup geek online store. The haul contains products I got from two separate orders, just added them together becuase I was waiting to get my new camera and in the meantime I got more stuff from her store. The owner/creator, Marlena, is such (as far as I can tell from her videos) a very sweet person and she does EXCELLENT video tutorials. Everything is simple enough for even beginners to be successful in creating either gorgeous, edgy, colorful or neutral looks. So without any further adieu, lets get started!

The First thing I want to talk about is the brushes. She has her own line of make-up brushes. They are all very good quality brushes, very VERY reasonably priced for the product you are getting.  These are the ones I got:

-MUG Deluxe Foundation Stippling Brush

-MUG Crease Brush

-MUG SMall Crease Brush

-MUG Pointed Crease Brush

-MUG Deluxe Outer-V Brush

-MUG Stiff Dome Brush (MAC 217 Dupe)

Next we can start in with ALL the NYX products I got. I just want to mention something about the palette shown in the picture. The one I chose was very similar as far as colors to a Kat Von D palette I was looking at on Sephora's site, when I saw the NYX one I was pretty excited because I do enjoy the texture of their pressed shadows. Here is a complete list:

-NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette "The Runway Collection" in Champagne & Caviar

-NYX Professional Makeup Puff

-NYX Pressed Shadow in Sahara

-NYX Pressed Shadow in High Light

-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cherry

What is next is the Ben Nye pigments I got. I have heard a lot about their pigments so when I saw that Make-Up geek sold samples of them, I ordered a couple to try.  The two I got were:

-Ben Nye Loose Pigment in Cherry Red

-Ben Nye Loose Pigment in Ice

Here is a swatched pic of the pigments (dry and with my homemade mixing medium)

AND Last but DEFINITELY not least...SUGARPILL!!!! YAY! *Applause in background* I simply ADORE Amy, and she has created a very beautiful monster when it comes to her Sugarpill Empire!! Some of the MOST brilliant colors, my fav. eyeshadow brand as of right now and just all around the CUTEST stuff on the market! Sugarpill has solely made it my personal mission to make it to IMATS 2012 JUST to visit that booth and meet Amy! (OK STALKER!) LOL! I was on make up geeks store page and noticed she not only sells the Chromalust Loose Pigments, but she also samples some of them out. With that said, I picked up a few of them that I didnt already have the full sizes off. Here is a list of those:

-Sugarpill Chroma Lust Loose Shadow in Magentric

-Sugarpill Chroma Lust Loose Shadow in Paperdoll

-Sugarpill Chroma Lust Loose Shadow in Starling

-Sugarpill Chroma Lust Loose Shadow in Magpie

 Here is a swatched pic of the pigments (dry and with my homemade mixing medium) 

I hope you all enjoyed as much as I did, I love having new things to work with, makes this ZoMbEa HAPPY!! Stay doll, Lovlies!
