Like many women, I was incredibly excited about the launch of the new
Sugarpill
palette and when teaser pictures started popping up on the SP fan page I
was drooling like a kid in a candy store yearning for a release date.
Well that date was announced and it was May 18th at 12am EST and I
immediately set aside my $39 to snag the palette right at launch time
hell or high water. I set my alarm for 1:50am Thursday night so that I
would be up and ready to stalk the site and order as soon as it was
possible for fear that it would sell out like SP stuff has a habit of
doing. I got my shipping notice at around 9:30pm Friday and received my
palette on Monday 5/21, super fast and much to my delight. So with all
that said I am very happy to bring to you my swatches and insights on
this incredibly fun palette!
*Note all swatches done over Concrete Minerals Electric eye primer.

| All 4 beauties in their little 'home'. |
 |
| Acidberry: I love lime green colors and this one does not disappoint! It is a matte shade with a slight sheen to it. It swatched well with little powder kick up and has lovely pigmentation. |
 |
| Velocity: Kind of the matte and less sparkly version of Royal Sugar, it too has a slight sheen to it. It swatched pretty well with little product kick up and also has great pigmentation. |
 |
| Mochi, a matte seafoam color with slight sheen: This is probably my favorite of the bunch! It swatched wonderfully, has great pigmentation and I am sure it will blend like butter when used! |
 |
| 2 AM: Matte purple with slight sheen, kinda of reminds me of Poison Plum really blended down. It swatched well with good pigmentation and I think will be a color I go to often. |

| I love the subtle blueish sheen in 2am! |

| I love Sugarpill's packaging done by the wonderfully talented Miss Kika. I got my free sample of Junebug which I am happy about as it is one of the few Chromalusts I do not have! I also like the extra sparkly sticker. :) | | | |

Would I recommend this palette to a friend? YES! In fact go out and buy it now! I am in love with everything I have ever gotten from Sugarpill and their fantastic customer service only makes the whole experience even better.
Where can you get it?
Sugarpill
How much? $34 + $5 shipping for a total of $ 39.
(This may sound high, but being each shadow on it's own is $12, you are saving $14 and it is like getting a free shade. Not to mention these shadows are .14oz (4 grams) vs the 0.05oz (1.5 grams)of a MAC shadow which are $11.50 a piece, so you are getting a lot for you money)
I hope this was helpful to some of you ladies and gents and until next time.
