Sugarpill Cold Chemisty Palette Review and Swatches

Hello Angels,

I recently purchased a new palette from Sugarpill.  It is the Cold Chemistry Palette that was released on August 17th.  I believe it will become a permanent part of the line.  The shadows can also be bought individually as well.

So let's take a look at this palette.  It is shaped differently than my other Sugarpill     palettes with a smaller mirror for your eyes.  Here's a peak:





There are four cool toned eyeshadows that everyone can wear.  

From left to right you have:
Soot and Stars- a charcoal gray with a teal frost finish  
Diamond Eyes- a cool white shadow with a frosted finish
Elemental Chaos- a cool dark purple with a frosted finish
Subterranean- a deep green with a frosted finish

How do they look on, you ask?  LOL
The color payoff is great and true to pan. They are very pigmented and will need to be patted on to achieve lots of color.  Here are swatches on NW43 skin:


This after one swipe and no primer.  Depending on positioning they may show some iridescence.  This is always a plus!

So would I recommend it??  Absolutely!  Especially if you are a makeup user that can't see themselves incorporating the colors in the other palettes.  These are excellent lid colors and would make a welcome addition to any smoky eye.  The palette or individual shadows can be bought at Sugarpillshop.com and Beautylish.com.  

Let me know what you think, especially if you decide to buy it!  

Until next time Angels
Happy Haulin'!

Dark corners smokey eyeshadow look! Pictorial/Tutorial!

Hello Angels!

I'm back with another different smokey eyeshadow and coral lip look that is very wearable during the day and can carry right into night.  It's easy to create and I've outlined the products used and steps below with lots of pics.
The Look:












I used the products pictured below.
Eyes:  MAC paint pot in groundwork, MAC pigment in Tan, MAC pro longwear eyeshadow in legendary black, MAC eyeshadow in Arena, MAC black kohl eyeliner in Feline, Benefit They're Real mascara.
Lips:  Beet lip liner (thick line), Vegas Volt lipstick


Groundwork as the base, all over the mobile lid to just above the crease

Feline pencil in the inner and outer corners of the eye, blend in to soften the effect towards middle of the eye
Legendary Black eyeshadow in the inner and outer corners of the eye over the feline pencil.  Blend well to really soften the edges of the Feline pencil towards the middle of the eye, making sure the color doesn't stray far above the eyelid crease.

Using a SMALL amount of Tan pigment (only need a crumb or two!!), apply to the center of the eyelid from lash line straight up to the brow bone at the highest point of your arch.  On the lid, blend this pigment outwards towards the dark corners.  In the brow highlight, dip your brush into Arena shadow and use this to blend blend blend the Tan pigment across the brow highlight area.  


  Now take a clean shadow brush and blend blend blend!!  Make sure you have no harsh color lines.  You want each of the colors to flow into each other seamlessly.
Next, add black eyeliner to the lower eyelid and smudge into the lower lash line.  Follow with black eyeliner to upper eyelid and at least two coats of mascara to upper and lower lashes.

Finito!  You are ready to serrrrrve.... Face that is!




HAPPY PAINTING!!!
