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!

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:


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!
