Sugarpill Cosmetics!


Back to Cocktail Cosmetics I go to get some Sugarpill eyeshadows. These colours are crazy and so nice and just ugh, i just needed them.


This packaging is super cute and i love the little heart cut out detail on the single eyeshadows. Anyway, I got the Sweet Heart and Heart Breaker Palettes, I wanted to get the Burning Heart one too but they were sold out and so I just settled for that gorgeous purple from it. The red, yellow and orange scare me a little, but I did get bulletproof as i'd heard it's like the blackest black ever.

Top Left: Heart Breaker Top Right: Sweet Heart
Bottom Left: Bulletproof Bottom Right: Poison Plum

So on the left of these is nyx milk, the centre there is nothing
and on the left is UDPP
Right top to bottom: Mochi, 2AM, Velocity, Acidberry.
Centre top to bottom: Tako, Midori, Afterparty, Dollipop.
Left Top: Poison Plum Left Bottom: Bulletproof
So I did a pretty bad job of swatching these, especially on Velocity and Mochi, but as you can see they're pretty pigmented on their own, Acidberry and Dollipop barely show any difference. They're all super easy to apply, really soft and smooth, there's like no fallout and they're really easy to blend too. 

All from the Heart Breaker palette.
Acidberry on the inner corner, Mochi on the lid
(I love this colour so much!) I used Velocity to make a
cut crease kinda thing and then blended 2AM in and above it.

I haven't worn bright eyeshadow like this in about 6 years but i's super fun and I even left the house like it! I feel I could have benefitted from some falsies but I didn't plan on actually going anywhere so yeah, it was just to play really! I really like how this look turned out, I was scared it was going to be super unwearable and i'd feel like a clown but I think it looked ok to go to the shops with! I probably wouldn't wear this to work mind you, maybe just incorporate one or two colours in with some neutrals.

The more I think about it, the more I want Buttercupcake, it's such a pretty yellow and i've seen so many people on reddit use it as an amazing inner corner highlight. Maybe i'll end up getting it along with Flamepoint and Love +, i've seen some wonderful Burning Heart sunset inspired looks that i'd love to try.

Also these eyeshadows are bloody huge! A whole 4g! I didn't know where to put my brush when I was using them, I feel like i'll never hit pan and they'll last forever!
