Sugarpill Cosmetics Review

Yesterday I received my order from Sugarpill. I have been anxiously awaiting this package because I have seen swatches online and have heard how awesome and pigmented these shadows are so I had to check them out for myself.

I already had an inkling that the loose powders might be worth checking out because I received a sample of one called Goldilux early last year when I made an Ebay from Shrinkle aka Amy for some Kryolan colors. I was intrigued because she also sent an interesting flyer and Sugarpill sticker along with the sample and my order, I digress. LOL.

So yes, the box arrived today and a cute box it was, I actually contemplated keeping it but I am not sure what I could do with it, so I put it in the in the recycle bin, but I took pictures of the package and the inside before I did.

It was really neat because Amy apparently handwrites thank you notes on your invoice when you order. I think that’s really awesome because it shows that she cares about her brand and customers and I have never received anything as personal as that from any company that I have ever ordered makeup, let alone anything else.

The packaging for Sugarpill's cosmetics is beautifully done. The logo is very fun and the packaging for the palettes is sturdy, even though it is made out of a type of cardboard. Don't let the word cardboard fool you though, it is very strong, strong like a palette, it is a bit heavy but I actually enjoy that because to me it shows the strength in the packaging, I know that sounds weird but that's how I feel about it. The images and colors of the packaging is quite fun but I think that translates well because it goes with the fun vibrant colors that Sugarpill offers. Coming from a person that it also a graphic designer, I must say that Sugarpill is branded very well. I Love the packaging, concept and how it is portrayed and marketed.

So, for what I ordered. I ordered both the Burning Hearts and Sweethearts palettes as well as five loose eyeshadows; which are Royal Sugar, Magpie, Absinthe, Junebug and Lumi.

I will tell you how the colors appear to meine eyes.

Let’s start with the loose eyeshadows. Royal Sugar is this awesome royal blue with all kinds of wonderful turquoise sparklyness(yeah yeah, I’m sure it’s not a word, lol) to it. Magpie is a dark metallic blackishblue/green type color. Absinthe is a sparkly lime green color, it’s so bright and pretty. Junebug is this beautiful dark, almost hunter or forest fren with beautiful sparklyness as well and Lumi is this beautiful white with sparkles and yeah, it is just so beautiful and sparkling, I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it.

Both palettes contain four pressed eyeshadows each. The Burning Hearts palette consists of Flamepoint, Buttercup, Love+ and Poison Plum. Flamepoint is a beautiful matte orange. Buttercup is a beautiful matte sunny yellow. Love+ is a very pretty bright red color that has a slight pearly sheen to it. Poison Plum is a purple color with a slight pearly sheen to it as well. The Sweetheart palette consists of Dollipop, Afterparty, Midori and Tako(pronounced taco). Dolipop is a vibrant matte hot pink. Afterparty is a bright turquoise with a slight pearly sheen to it. Midori is a is a vibrant jade green with a slight pearly sheen. Tako is a matte pure white.

With My order I also received a Sugarpill sticker, flyer and sample of the loose eyeshadow named Starling. Starling is a beautiful and vibrant sparkling turquoise. I got so excited that I decided to also dig out my sample of of Goldilux loose eyeshadow which is a beautiful sparkling true gold that is unlike any other gold that I have, it is very beautiful.

I love the textures of both the pressed and loose shadows. They are smooth, highly pigmented and non-chalky. I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the orange(Flamepoint) and Yellow(Buttercolors) in the Burning Hearts palette because normally orange and yellow shades do not show up on me well and this is because I have strong yellow/orange undertones in my skin, but these were beautifully pigmented and show up so well. I am happy that Sugarpill is one of the few companies that has a true red because not many companies have one and some that do have them as pro products. All of the colors are vibrant and silky feeling.

I am absolutely happy with my purchases and have already been planning my next order with Sugarpill. I really can’t wait. I also have ideas for quite a few looks already, lol. I really can’t wait to share them with you when I do.
