Sugarpill filled AWESOME! Or awesome filled Sugarpill, either works.

So obviously my Sugarpill order came today and I squealed like the little girl I am. I've been waiting for this for so long and ITS HERE OH MY GOD ITS HERE IN MY HANDS I'M GONNA PASS OUT.

My ridiculous excitement, still in school uniform

Sugarpill is the bright new makeup line by Amy Doan of Shrinkle so we should expect it to be loud and in your face, just like her clothing. And oh, it is. It is. Its delicious. Also extremely well branded, I must say. You can tell straight away that Shrinkle and Sugarpill are both brainchildren of the same evil genius. It's all got a consistent style, and that style is super cute and punkish too.

My order came in a white box with the Sugarpill kitty logo stamped on it and little stickers around my address [which I covered with a business card because you're not finding out where I live.] The makeup itself is nestled in masses of bright pink tissue paper and glitter stickers and your invoice will come with a sweet handwritten note from Amy herself. Love! This is the kind of thing that makes you happy before you even get to what you ordered.

I hauled the Burning Heart quad and Amy was nice enough to throw in Midori as well as you can see from the note! She really is a sweetheart. n___n

L-R: Flamepoint, Buttercupcake, Love+, Poison Plum, Midori
Swatched dry, no base [top] and over Urban Decay Primer Potion [bottom]

Firstly I'm kinda sorry about the swatches. I used a finger for each colour since my nails were conveniently colour coded [I have orange, yellow, red and purple nails right now and Midori got paired with my pink finger] but that means I ended up swatching Poison Plum with my thumb. But moving on.

As for the shadows themselves, they're super bright and super pigmented. Flamepoint is a very nice yellow-orange which I might actually be able to rock. Just look at Love+! I haven't got a brighter red. Buttercupcake is a rare yellow that suits my skin tone. Poison Plum is just delicious and richly purple, like I hoped it would be. They all apply well, but I found Buttercupcake to be a little chalky, but I found this is the case for most mattes. Midori, a yummy elfy green which is more shimmery, is a dream to apply! Yummy. Also, can you tell the difference between the primed and primerless sides? Yeah, me either.

My only decent-sized gripe, as with so many others, is the fact that the shadow names aren't on the palette but that's not really a big deal to me since I can either remember them or just write them on little stickers myself. I lifted them out of the magnetic palette to see if they had the names printed on the bottom of the pans but unfortunately not.

I threw together a quick look using mainly Buttercupcake since there's a themed 'casual day' at school [I have to wear yellow... thanks for making the ASIAN GIRL wear YELLOW, school D< ]. These photograph soooo well!

Also I decided to slap a sticker on my makeup case. REPPIN'. Welcome home, Sugarpill.All in all, Sugarpill totally lived up to my expectations! Rich, pigmented, BRIGHT AS HELL...what's not to love! I'll be back to pick up some Chromalust shadows... next payday, that is.
