First Sugarpill Purchase

So on Valentine's Day Sugarpill cosmetics had their annual birthday sale. I couldn't resist so I went with the intention of purchasing the Burning Heart palette. Sadly it was sold out. I ended up purchasing Asylum (a shimmery red loose shadow) and Tako (a matte white pressed shadow)

Since they were having a big sale they took a while with the shipping BUT they kept me informed so I didn't really mind too much. Sugarpill is a company that spares no detail. That extends to their packaging too. Take a look and THIS.

This is the box that it came in. Right away you see the attention to detail. its a small USPS priority flat rate box with the kitty logo PRINTED onto it in a bright pink. Very cute, and it definitely brightened up my day opening my mailbox and seeing THIS in there. But we cant judge a product by its cute packaging.

When we open up the cute kitty box we're greeted with hot pink tissue paper and our invoice

The shadows don't come wrapped in bubble wrap but there's enough tissue paper to keep everything tightly in place. Aside from the two shadows I ordered Sugarpill included a sample of Goldilux, a gold glitter loose shadow, a promotion card for their upcoming collection Cold Chemistry and a free Sugarpill glitter sticker. Thanks Sugarpill.

                Here's a close up of that flier. Looks exciting. I'm actually already saving up for this.

                                                         Here's the other side of the flier

 This is the Goldilux sample. Remember when I said no detail was spared? I meant it. The Goldilux sample card was held together by a hot pink staple.

Here's the back of the sample card. On the card it says their website in sugarpill.net, but its not. Its sugarpillshop.com but you can type in sugarpill.net and you will be redirected to the current website. One thing I really like about sugarpill is that they label which of their eyeshadows are vegan. I myself am no longer vegan but I do appreciate this.

                   Here's the inside of the sample card. Once again no detail spared. Love it.

                                   Goldilux in all her glory. Please ignore my smudged nails OxO

                                         Goldilux ingredients are on the inside of the card

This is the box that Asylum came in. Cut out heart window for our viewing pleasure.

Here's the top of the box. Do I really need a picture from every angle? Yes I do, but I promise only this time. next time it will only be actual shadows and the swatches. 

Here are the sides of the boxes .There's our little kitty friend reminding us that Sugarpill is cruelty free. Very cute printed lace design on the sides of the box.

Bottom of the box. Another little kitty friend telling us the ingredients in Asylum. 

Asylum is also vegan by the way. 

Even the inner flaps that you see for about 2 seconds in very detailed and pretty

Aaaaand here she is. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Asylum.

Here's Asylum in the jar. Lets talk about the size. there are a bit bigger than HALF of a mac pigment jar. But that in no way means they're 'small'. These will last you a long time, even with frequent use. 

This is the cap. The writing isn't actually white, it's silver. 

This is just to show you what the pigment looks like in the jar. The actual color is the color in the jar picture. 

For some reason the pigment looks a bit more orange on my skin than in the jar. It's very sparkly when dry but if you use it wet (sorry i didn't get a picture) it almost looks metallic  It's the tiniest bit patchy when applied dry but when you use it wet it goes on super smooth and pigmented. I love it. 

In case you're wondering the heart is covering a burn scar, I blame you Tofu stir fry!!

The box for Tako. Once again we have our cut out heart window, super detailed box, and out beloved kitty friend. She looks so cute in Sugarpill shadows.

The back of the box

Here's the ingredients. Fell free to enlarge this. Tako is also vegan. Yes I 'painted' my nail in Photoshop while editing these pictures. Why? Oh because the polish was smudged and gross.

Here's the compact that Tako came in. For a shadow this thing is huge. its almost the size of Maybelline's dream bouncy blush. Once again, every detail that could have been included was included.

Hello little kitty friend. This is all printed in silver, not white.

Here in the pan you can see tiny white sparkles but these do NOT show up on the skin. Tako is a MATTE WHITE eyeshadow. 

This may look like a bad swatch but its the best one I could get. Its shows the INTENSITY of Tako Its a bright white matte. Its a little streaky at first but if you add another layer in will even out. I haven't tried this wet so I can't comment on how it looks then. 

Over all, I really liked these. They have good pigmentation and they come in a good size for the price. Asylum is 12 dollars at regular price and Tako is also 12 dollars. I got these for 9 each because of the birthday sale but i will be picking more up pretty soon. Do I recommend Sugarpill? Yes but only if you like bright colors. They don't make any nudes or neutrals.
