Sugarpill Haul Palette Swatches

Hi Everyone!!

Sorry its been a bit since I was last here. Been a wee bit busy.
Today I bring you some pics and swatches of a new company called "Sugarpill
Cosmetics". The launch debuted 2-3 weeks ago. They have an assortment of pressed eyeshadows, loose eyeshadow pigments and some eyelashes. I ordered there 3 eyeshadow palettes.
  • Burning Heart
  • Sweetheart
  • Cold Heart

These shadows are all quite lovely and very pigmented. Some of the palettes had duplicate colors. So I only swatched the 9 colors which they have.

They arrived pretty safe with some cute Lisa Frank stickers on the box, 2 free stickers and Amazingly cute Packaging if your into that like me :)

They are Gorgeous colors and do wonderfully over a primer :)

MAC Viva Glam Gaga & Viva Glam Cyndi

Ok So here is MACS latest Viva Glam Colors Ms Viva Glam Gaga & Ms. Viva Glam Cyndi.

Both lippies are quite nice, soft and creamy. They honestly are not as bold as they are made
out to be.


Yes I look a bit Barbiesh with Gagas but nothing extreme, and Cyndis is a nice red.
Swatches are done on my MAC NC30 skin which is more like NC20 now since its winter.

Enjoy!!

Stila "Jewel Eye Shadow" Palette Look







Alright so like many when I first laid eyes on this palette I went gaga over it. It just arrived and wow all I can say is I am sooo bummed out with it. The color payoff dry is non-exisetent to the lightest sheerest color ever!! I applied and applied over a eye base and even tried different eye brushes and nothing. There was a lot of fall out and the consistency is quite awful, it crumbled a ton.
I then decided tro try it with a wet brush and finally this shadow palette came to life. Its still not as vavavoom as Id expected but it was better. It still took a lot of product to get it to show though.
All in all Im just ok with this palette for the size, and price its not very worth it sadly because it is gorgeous to look at but not worth it .
I applied stila's "starry night" smudge pot as eyeliner
