I bought this foundation about a year ago as an alternative to my go to Studio Fix Fluid foundation and for the most part I like this foundation, and I always get tons of compliments when I wear...
I have the soft ocher paint pot and I have to say I'm not a big fan. For the price I paid for it I was expecting it to make my eye shadows really pop and keep them from creasing. It did keep them...
Overall, I think this is a great foundation for most people. It's definitely for normal-to-dry skin in my opinion. I have combo skin and my cheeks loved the hydration. However, my T-zone got...
I know it says eye makeup remover, but I use it all over my face to remove makeup.
I would suggest saturating a cotton pad and then placing it over your eye for a few seconds to let the...
ok i couldn't stand it anymore & had to do swatches of the three colors i bought. i'm officially in love with this brand! there's no way these could be private label.
they were bright with 1 swipe of color but i did 2 instead & it came out like this. insane.
I'm a little underwhelmed so far but I'm a big fan of Shrinkle and am hoping she comes out with some wacky super-bright lip stuff! I feel like I already have a fair range of bright eye shadows (many of them Kryolan which she's repped for years) and don't feel like I'd need any of the ones she's released so far.

I'm happy this line exists though!
This is what's keeping me from buying right now...it looks great, but I already have a lot of cheaper or similarly-priced stuff that's about the same color. If she came out with something I didn't have (which is tough to do, honestly), I'd buy it up in a heartbeat.
I was wondering if anyone here has tried any sugar pill products yet. They look really cool, but I'm a little skeptical of their versatility. I like what I have seen so far from Petrilude's review of and swatches of sugar pill. I almost want to buy some stuff, but I think it might end up being makeup I'll never use because it will be too intense.
Even though the brand seems to be catering to a more of a very specific sub-culture, I'm still excited about the products and would love to know more about them.
(Disclaimer: I'm not saying anything bad about that sub-culture, I'm just saying I'm not a part of it, and the brand image seems to be catering to a different demographic than me.)

Me too. I think I'll pick up quite a few things anyway (because mattes and pigments are always useful) but I'm expecting that a lot of them will dupe stuff I already have. So I'll give it a go, but a lot of the shadows in particular just look like things already in my stash.

I may save up for one of the palettes in the future, just because I really like them and like to support small companies, but I don't see myself buying pounds and pounds of stuff until something super-unique comes out. Then again, I'm that way with every company.
Petrilude swatched the purple eyeshadow next to the infamous MUFE 92 and just as I suspected, they've very very similar. Makes me want to try Sugarpill even more. I love the packaging and the website!
I bought the Burning Heart Quad and I'm going to buy the Sweetheart quad very soon!
Those swatches were without a base!
I bought this one but haven't gotten it yet, I'm SOOOOO glad I bought it after the swatches!! (I don't have any matte orange or yellows yet) Thanks!! I too want to buy the Sweetheart quad now after seeing the swatches. So much for my "saving money and keeping it under $60/month for makeup" lol
Do you find that the shadows from the quad pop out with ease? Very curious about another person's perspective.
Edit: Also what's the texture like on each individual shadow? The yellows I've had in the past have been chalky and rough. Is yours smooth and silky?
Yeah, they do. I don't like using my nails as tools so I used a letter opener, haha. They pop out really easily.
The yellow is similar to MAC Chrome Yellow but it is a bit softer. When I swatched them side by side the MAC one felt a bit "drier". I was surprised at how smooth the red is since the Ben Nye red e/s I have is not that smooth and sometimes I have to scrape off so I can use it sort of like loose e/s.

I have colors that are very similar but I'm still super happy I bought it because the packaging is super cute and the shadows are very good quality!

It definitely says some about a product when you already own similar things and are still glad you bought it. I too am a sucker for packaging!! This is some of the cutest packaging I have ever seen. <3 the kitty she puts on even the mailing boxes! I'm really happy to hear the shades are very soft/smooth. Going to have to work on a tutorial look with all 4 colors as soon as I get it!
I wish one of the quads had the yellow, red, and pink in it! The Burning Heart one (I think) has almost all the colors I want except the pink Guess I'll have to save up!
