Sugarpill Review

Hey everyone,

I just realised that I hadn't made a review on Sugarpill Cosmetics!

For those of you who don't know, Sugarpill is a line of makeup made by the ever so gorgeous Amy/Shrinkle, who used to (or may still) sell Kryolan palettes on eBay along with her own clothes!

The Sugarpill website describes the line of cosmetics like this,

Sugarpill Cosmetics is a custom line of vibrant, richly pigmented, velvety pressed eyeshadows and sparkling loose powders.

and they are exactly that.

I don't have everything Sugarpill offers, although I'd like to, but I do have all of their pressed eyeshadows and one of their loose powders.

Sugarpill eyeshadows are definitely extremely pigmented. I've never seen anything so bright and vivid before - they're a must have for anyone into bright makeup!

I plan on taking some photos of swatches tomorrow when there is some natural light, rather than at 10pm when there's none and it's all artificial, so make sure you check back for that!

However I really did want to show you the pictures I originally took last year when I received the package - I wasn't even a blogger but I was just so excited about it I couldn't help myself. (yeahh, I'm weird.)

So, onto the photos!

Look at how cute that box is! Sugarpill stamp & a cute little seahorse sticker!

It's little things like this that make me feel like a company really values their customers!


This is how it looked when first opened, carefully and thoughtfully (not to mention pretty) packed!


This is how it looked unwrapped, SO exciting!


Everything out of their boxes!

That is unfortunately the last of the photos - I really wish the lighting had been better and that I had taken more pictures, however I'll be sure to do that tomorrow when I take swatches so be sure to check back for them!

MAC Haul

Hi everyone,

So I figured for my first post, what better way to kick off a cosmetic blog than making a Haul post?

Before we get down to it, I'd just like to say I am a complete MAC newbie. I've read blogs and watched YouTube videos for years however I admit to having limited funds so I only get to make MAC purchases/hauls every now and then and have quite a small collection.

Now that's over, down to the goodies!


Humid: Described on the MAC website as an "Intense green with shimmer" and I completely agree. This is definitely a gorgeous colour. It is also a Frost finish.




Cranberry: Described on the MAC website as a "Red-plum with pink shimmer" which again, it is. This is one colour I have wanted for a very long time and it has not disappointed me. This is also a Frost finish.




Sketch: Described on the MAC website as "Burgundy with red shimmer" I have to agree/disagree with this comment at the moment as when I quickly swatched it, I definitely saw the burgundy, but I didn't receive any shimmer pay off. However you can see the shimmer in the pot, so perhaps I need to play with it more. This is a Velvet finished eyeshadow.




Goldmine: Described on the MAC website as "Intense gold with shimmer" I have to agree, it is that. Saying that, photographing this was difficult. It looks so very light in the picture but swatched it really is a beautiful gold with shimmer. This is a Frost finish.







Club: Described on the MAC website as "Red-brown with green pearl". I got this shadow on reccomendation from several different ladies. It is one of the most unique shades I have ever come across. Swatched lightly on the skin, it's simply a red-brown, however as you can see in the photo there is that green duo-chrome which is just absolutely gorgeous if you apply it over a darker/green base. This is a Satin finish eyeshadow.






Pink Swoon: Described on the MAC website as "Clearly pink". It is just that. This is an absolutely gorgeous light pink blush that is a Sheertone finish, meaning it applies very sheerly however it is definitely a buildable colour and looks amazing.



That's it for my first post, I hope it's turned out okay and I hope anyone who reads it enjoys it. If you have any tips/questions/requests etc please let me know. :)
