Sugarpill Sweetheart, Burning Heart, Heartbreaker and Chromalust Review
Right well I am leaving for Florida tomorrow, so I filmed this review of all the Sugarpill products I ordered.

I definitely recommend wearing a primer with these, as with all eyeshadows. The Chromalusts tend to work better for me when applied wet, but they, like the pressed shadows, also work well when applied on top of a stickier base like NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am in love.
BUY... Each palette retails for 34$ each. It is cheaper to buy a whole palette than to get each eyeshadow individually for 12$ (48$ for 4 shadows instead of 34$). Each Chromalust retails for 12$ and contains 5 grams of product. Certain colours may look more full than others because some ingredients are heavier than others and will cause the product to settle.
PROS (Pressed shadow palettes)
Great blendability, especially for matte shadows
Intense pigmentation/colour payoff
Unique colours for the most part
Cheaper by weight than most popular companies
Good value, product will last a long time
Comes with a mirror
They don't break when you drop them (believe me, I am very clumsy)
CONS (Pressed shadow palettes)
A bit heavy because of the mirror
Potential for some fallout of not carefully applied
PROS (Chromalusts)
VERY unique colour range (I could not dupe a single pigment)
Finely milled and apply smoothly
Can be blended with some work unlike many other pigments
Great colour payoff and texture
Cheaper by weight than most high-end companies
CONS (Chromalusts)
Can spill because there is no sifter, and some extra space in the cap
Potential for fallout when applied dry
So I am incredibly impressed with Sugarpill products. In some cases I will favor other brands, but for my bright phases, I can see myself reaching for these all the time! Have you tried any Sugarpill shadows yet?
