SugarPill Swatches and mini review

So as anyone who knows me knows, I am in love with Sugarpill! Their shadows are crazy pigmented, smooth and blend wonderfully. Customer service is awesome and they are packaged in the cutest boxes and come in a custom box with the Sugarpill logo on it. Currently I have all the pressed shadows and 7 of the Chromalusts, this blog post will have the Chromalusts that I adore so much. I'm not too good at reviewing things and so I'm gonna keep this short, but if you love bright colors that blend like a dream then Sugarpill is the brand for you!
(The photos got out of order when I uploaded them and I don't know how to rearrange them on Blogger, so sorry for that. If anyone knows, please let me know)
the adorable box they come in!

the lid, this is printed on and not a sticker.

Tiara is almost like putting liquid silver on your eyes when it's foiled, love it!

I would highly recommend anyone who likes color to get EVERYTHING from Sugarpill! Amy has really impressed me with her line so far with everything I have bought from her and I look forward to seeing what else she has in store.  I will hopefully have my swatches up of the pressed shadows by the end of the weekend.

GDE Twi shadows!

Here I have the Twi-Shadows collection from Glamour Doll Eyes. I'm not a huge Twilight fan but being that I love GDE, I just had to get it! I really like this collection and think there are some gorgeous colors in there (Just Bitten, I'm looking at you). The labels are cute and they all swatched well even though I had a little bit harder of a time swatching Black Ice; mainly I think because of all the sparkles. All but two of the shadows are vegan and all but four are lip safe. All in all I am glad to have these colors in my collection and yet again must give it to Vee for delivering a fantastic product. :)

PICS AWAY!!!!


      The bottom of the jar which tells you the color and whether or not it is vegan and lip safe. (this is also the order I have them swatched on my hand)
1st row left to right: Big Brother, Black Ice, Mind Reader and Just Bitten
2nd row left to right: Premonition, Mood Swing and The Perfect Cure
3rd row left to right: Skin of a Killer, Dear Mom and Family Secret
    Big Brother (no flash and indoors)
    Black Ice  (no flash and indoors)
     Mind Reader  (no flash and indoors)
      Just Bitten  (no flash and indoors)
          Premonition  (no flash and indoors)
           Mood Swing  (no flash and indoors)
             The Perfect Cure  (no flash and indoors)
             Skin of a Killer  (no flash and indoors)

                                            (no flash and indoors)

                                                with flash and indoors

I would have to say my favorites of the bunch are Mind Reader, Just Bitten, Skin of a Killer and Premonition.

You can get them here Glamour Doll Eyes. *Note* The site is currently down due to Vee being ill and having a surgery, I will post on my Girl Disappearing Facebook Page as soon as I see she is back and the site is up.

*All swatches were done over Glamour Doll's Foil Me*

Until next time lovelies :)

BFTE Halloween Collection

 I got the Beauty From the Earth Halloween collection today and just had to share! Halloween is my favorite holiday next to New Years and so learning one of my favorite cosmetics companies was putting out a Halloween collection put me in a glee overload! The collection has 4 new shadows and a lip gloss along with COOKIES! Each color is stunning and the gloss is just a right amount of color for me since I usually prefer a more lightly tinted lip. Anyway, on to the pics!

          In sunlight: Top L-R Cat Eye, Bat Wing  Bottom L-R Spider Venom, Snake Oil
                                Indoors with flash (sparkles!)
                               The collection, the box is adorable!
                        Spider Venom, Cat Eye, Bat Wing and Snake Oil (clockwise)
 Snake Oil a gorgeous orange/gold, one of my favorite of the bunch and I can't wait to do a look with it!
 Bat Wing (had a hard time getting a good pic of this one) a beautiful brown/gold.
             Cat Eye is fantastic, another I am excited to play with!
 Spider Venom, I am in love with this color! I have a huge thing for purple anything and this is definitely up there with my favorite purples now!


      The gloss One Last Kiss, for me it is more like a tinted lip balm. I like how it feels on, very moisturizing and the lovely pink/coral tint it has I love and will definitely keep this in my purse!

All in all I love this collection and highly recommend everyone to get it ASAP! There were only 65 made, so get it while you still can!

Swatches done over Glamour Doll Eyes' Foil Me.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
