So today I am
doing a review for you on the new Sugarpill Cosmetics Heart Breaker Palette!
This palette made its debut on May 18th on the Sugarpill website and
is the final palette in Sugarpill’s “Heart” series. I am absolutely in love
with this palette and as with the other Sugarpill shadows, this one is amazing!
The shadows have great pigmentation and wear fantastic on the lid.
The packaging of this palette is to die for. I love how they
changed from the usual pink cover on the palette to blue and silver; definitely
my favorite color scheme! The packaging is very sturdy, black cardboard and it
contains a mirror on the inside lid and the four shadows. I have never had any
issues with the packaging coming apart or becoming banged up from being used.
These palettes are also very easy to store since they are smaller.
There is a great array of BRIGHT colors in this palette and
they are perfect for summer and those bright, fun looks! This palette can be
found on the Sugarpill website (http://www.sugarpillshop.com/) for $34.00. The
four shadows can be purchased individually as well for $12.00 each.
Now on to the amazing colors in this palette:
Acidberry: A bright, vibrant lime green matte with a slight
pearl sheen.
2am: A matte, more pink/red toned purple with a slight pearl
sheen.
Mochi: An amazing bright seafoam green/teal matte with a pearl
sheen.
Velocity: A matte royal blue (similar to Royal Sugar but
matte!).
Mochi is my absolute favorite color out of all four in this
palette, but I am a sucker for anything teal! Mochi seems to have more of a
sheen than the other pearl shades. Acidberry has good color payoff although for
swatches I did have to go over it a few times just to get it more vibrant. 2am
is a fantastic purple. I know that purples are one of the more difficult shadow
shades to get right and Sugarpill did wonders with Poison Plum and 2am is
definitely up to par! This purple is very vibrant and has a more red/pink tone
than Poison Plum, which is a more blue toned purple. Velocity is a great
vibrant almost cornflower blue color and it is straight matte.
Overall I definitely think that this palette is worth
picking up especially if you are wanting to experiment with colors or use them for more toned down looks! The color
payoff is amazing and these shadows blend like a charm. I would give this
palette a 5 out of 5 stars!
Overall Rating: 9.5/10
-This product receives a 9.5 only due to the fact
that Acidberry is a color that just needs a little bit of work to get good
color payoff, but otherwise I have no issues with this palette or the shadows!

So
today I have a review for you on Glamour Doll Eyes, specifically their
eyeshadows. Glamour Doll Eyes has been in business since November 2008 and the
owner of the company is Vee. The eyeshadows that this company sells are mineral
shadows; they are all natural. Some of their shadows are vegan and some are
not; some are also lip safe and some are not and this information can be found
on the label on the underside of the pan as well as the product name and jar size.
These
shadows are extremely cheap in price and well worth it for the amount of
product that you are getting. For a full sized jar it is $6.00 and you get
2-2.5 grams of product without a sifter in a 5 gram jar; if you get a sifter,
there is 1.5-2 grams of product in a 5 gram jar.
There
are also two different sample sizes that you can purchase as well. The sample
baggie contains 0.5 grams of product and costs $1.25 and the sample jar
contains 1 gram of product in a 5 gram jar and costs $2.50.
I
am reviewing 7 of the permanent eyeshadows from Glamour Doll Eyes in this
review:
-Sex
Appeal: A green/purple duochrome with green and purple shimmer
-Hello
Brooklyn: A deep blue/black with blue shimmer
-Dirty
Jeans: A pastel blue with extreme gold shimmer
-Blueberry
Lush: A vibrant blue with slight blue shimmer, kind of reminds me of a more
veluxe pearl type finish
-Immature:
A vibrant green/teal color that also has a more veluxe pearl finish with slight
green shimmer
-Electric
Lemonade: A bright yellow, veluxe pearl type finish with slight yellow
shimmer
-Phyrra:
A bright pink/purple duochrome with purple and silver shimmer
Overall
I think that these shadows are amazing and I definitely give them a 5 out of 5
stars. They have amazing pigmentation and work well both wet and dry. I also
never really have any issues with fallout as long as I make sure to tap off any
extra product on the brush and I always use an eyeshadow primer on the lid. The
only issue that I do have with some of the shades, such as immature and sex
appeal which have a green/teal base, they do tend to stain the skin for a short
period of time after removing the shadows so just be aware of that when using
the products.
I
really hope that you all found this review helpful and that you decide to check
out Glamour Doll Eyes for yourself to really see how amazing these products
are!
Overall Rating: 9.5/10 (Only due to the staining from the
green/teal based shades)
Swatches are done both wet and dry (right swatch) and were wet with MAC Fix +

Hey Everyone!
So I have a pretty dramatic tutorial this time! I wanted to experiment with using black and white and this is the look that I ended up coming up with. This was definitely a tough tutorial for me to do and it took a LONG time to film but I am happy with the way that it came out! I got my inspiration from a picture that I found on Google using Sugarpill shadows and I did my own twist to the look. Here is the inspiration picture:
I really hope that you all enjoy this fun and crazy tutorial!!!

Hey Everyone!!!
I am so sorry this tutorial wasn't up when I planned! I was having some uploading issues but hopefully now they are sorted out for the meantime. I really like how this look came out and it's a unique summer inspired look! I am 100% in the mood for some hot weather and since it was quite rainy and blah all week, I figured this look would brighten up the mood a bit! I really hope you all enjoy it!

As
described by Sigma, the Sigma Synthetic Kabuki Kit consists of four face
brushes that feature exclusive Sigmax fibers that are designed to apply powder
foundations as well as cream and liquid products without absorption into the
bristles
The brushes that are included in this kit are as follows
F80 -
Flat Kabuki: Application
of liquid or cream products to flat areas of the face such as the forehead and
cheeks.
I
absolutely LOVE this brush kit! The round top F82 kabuki brush is my go to
brush for applying liquid foundation. All of these brushes blend foundation,
liquid or powder, like a dream! I also find that the angled F84 kabuki brush is
great for applying bronzer/contour colors and blush. The tapered F86 kabuki brush is
great for getting those “hard to reach” areas such as the nose area and still
blends in the foundation great! The flat top F80 kabiki is just a great all
around brush for foundation application, and I like to use it to stipple on my
liquid foundation or to apply powder to my face as it makes it quite easy to
press the powder onto the face then blend it out where necessary. I never see
any streaking with my foundation as I do normally with duo fiber brushes, which
is what I used to use before purchasing this kit. I have never had any issues
with them shedding either!
I give
these brushes a 5 out of 5 stars and I definitely recommend purchasing them if
you haven’t already! They are 100% worth the money and are sturdy brushes that
will last!
The Sigma
Synthetic Kabuki Kit can be found here for $56.00
