Sugarpill Cosmetics review!

Hi again, hope everyone had a good week. This is another makeup haul and as you can see from the pics, it's the well known: Sugarpill cosmetics which has been praised by alot of makeup bloggers/youtube gurus. The website is : http://www.sugarpillshop.com/ . The owner name is Amy who is also known as shrinkle on ebay. She sells not only sugarpill cosmetics but theatrical makeup stuffs (e.g.kryolan) as well. The pressed eyeshadows and loose pigments which are known as "Chromolust" are extremely pigmented and vibrant. I certainly agree that if you are looking for strong vibrant colors, you will have NO REGRETS with these!




Prices are very reasonable especially when the amount is quite generous and some of you may have known, these makeup are not just randomly purchased or imported from some makeup warehouse dealers... etc... but it's Amy (owner of store) who put in lots of effort and hard work to customise these beautiful shadows.



So here I go:-




Price for 4-color palette: USD$34 (The one I got is "Burning Heart")
Single pressed shadow is USD$12 each, therefore with this palette, you're actually saving cost!


Chromolust loose pigments: USD$12 each (Nett weight 5gram)

Shipping cost : Flat USD$5 within US
International shipping: Orders up to $20 (USD$6)
Orders up to $40 (USD$8)
Orders up to $60 (USD$10)
Orders up to $75 (USD$12)
Orders from $75 onwards (FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE)


Items wrapped in a pink paper and with cards and Sugarpill sticker. As you can see from the pic, Amy had even handwritten on the receipt. How sweet of her! :)




From left: Darling, Royal Sugar, Lumi, Stella










If you notice, Lumi has lesser amount in the jar. I guess it's based on weight, not on amount. Nothing to lose though as a little goes a long way and it's a beautiful highlight color!




Swatches from left: Darling (Stunning teal loaded with iridescents turquiose star bursts)
Royal Sugar (Striking bright blue with heavenly burst of turquiose diamonds)... my favourite!















Swatches from left: Lumi (white with turquiose sheen, like duo-chrome... abit of green and blue shimmer). Great as highlighter or apply on a dark base which will again shows a different color!
Stella (Matte black with rainbow sparkles)... Gorgeous!!!!!



Burning heart Palette








Swatches done on bare hand, creamy and super pigmented. A little goes a long way. My advice is to use eyeshadow brush to pick up color and to blend, do not use finger as these color do stain and I realised that when I used fingers to swatch, the product tends to stick to my finger.








Because the shadows are so pigmented, that's the stain after I wiped off with a tissue. To me it's not a bad thing as.... good quality lasts longer and this has proven it. :)




So there you go, this is my review on Sugarpill. I absolutely adore them and hope to add in more of them to my collection!
Hope you have a lovely week! xoxo
