Sugarpill's Black Friday= PINK WEEKEND

Yo! So I went Black Friday crazy. Between shoes and makeup I am sure I spent a few hundred dollars. Due to NONE of the shoes fitting (see other post), the net gain I got from all of these sales totaled to be 3 loose pigments from Sugarpill. Even though I have not reviewed the pressed shadows yet (promise it's in the works), I decided to do a quick write up of my Black Friday purchases. I bought Asylum, Absinthe, and Royal Sugar.

They arrived pretty quickly, about 5 days after the anticipated ship date. I think it only took about 2-3 days to make to me all the way from California. They arrived in a small box with the Sugarpill logo. When I opened the box, I was greeted with the usual bright fuchsia paper and a hand-signed receipt.

I also got my second sample of Magentric, which I still have never opened. I love the packaging for each box and how each individual color has it's own symbol: a crown, cat, and star, respectively.

All of these shadows (and most if not all of the others) are vegan and cruelty free. While that isn't really a major factor for me, I know that recently a lot more eco-conscious people are buying product that are not tested on animals and they don't use any animal byproducts. I chose these particular colors because they are very bright, and not like any of the colors I own. I have wanted Absinthe since I first heard about Sugarpill, but since I bought  all of the pressed shadows at one time, it had to wait a few months. Absinthe is a bright lime green that really stands out in every look I've seen it in. It's also sparkly, which can make the dramatic color a litttle more wearable in my opinion.

Royal Sugar is an awesome cobalt blue. I have wanted this color ever since I got my blue suede pumps. I feel like they are a perfect match and wait to try them out together. It'll probably be some sort of blue smoky eye and bright red lips. I wanna go for a classic pin-up type style with it, then of course something more bright and outrageous later. It has a lot of sparkles, but I have seen a lot of looks with this color that look pretty matte.

Last but not least is Asylum. it a dark, sparkly orangey-red color. I fell in love with it when I saw someone do an amazing phoenix look with it.

Overall, I give this whole haul a 5/5, here are some swatches:

From top to bottom: NYX in Milk, Milk+e.l.f. primer, primer, dry

In making these swatches, I noticed several things: Royal Sugar has a LOT of glittery fallout, and Absinthe does not have quite as much staying power as the other two. Still all great overall!

Hasta Luego...
