Hey everyone, I've still got to finish up my recap post on PHAMExpo but I couldn't wait to put up this post on one of the new Sparkle Baby Eyeshadows from Sugarpill Cosmetics. Sparkle Baby is a collection of four sugary-sweet looking eyeshadows, debuting around the end of August (I asked). The collection won't be available for another month but I thought it'd be worth swatching and showing my favorite color from the collection, Kitten Parade.
Where to purchase: Sugarpill Cosmetics (in August!)
Price: $12.00 for 3.5 grams of product
Do they test on animals? They do not test on animals.
Packaging:
I want to talk about how adorably cute the packaging is for the collection. One of the reasons why I like Sugarpill so much is because they put so much effort into branding their lines where I get so much enjoyment out of the packaging and not just the product. The Sparkle Baby collection features a pastel blue and pink theme with a sweet heterochromatic eyed white kitten on the back.
There's also a nice change to the eyeshadow compacts because they're white instead of black like in the main collection eyeshadows.
The content inside doesn't disappoint either. Kitten Parade is a rosy-peachy pink with a brilliant gold gilt and sparkle. Compared to the rest of Sugarpill's main collection eyeshadows, it is as close as they'll get to a neutral eyeshadow. By the way, this eyeshadow is NOT vegan because there is carmine in the formula.
Swatch: (Swatched over Milani Eyeshadow Primer and the pictures were taken in natural daylight with no flash)
Depending on how you apply it and the angle that the light hits it, it'll look slightly different. If you swipe it on, you'll find that the gold gilt tends to be more prominent than the rosy base whereas if you pat it on, you'll get more of the pink out of the eyeshadow. I'd say it'd fairly pigmented but can be applied sheerly as an all over wash. The gold sparkle in the eyeshadow is prone to fallout so I would recommend a sticky primer with this eyeshadow. When the light hits it the right way, you'll get a beautiful flash of gold like in the picture on the right.
YES. You need to get this. Honestly I think it's worth getting just because of the name but the color itself is beautiful. Seriously, it'll be worth waiting until August for! There is some fallout you will have to deal with because of the gold sparkle but wearing a sticky primer or a sticky base should help with the issue; it's not enough of a problem that should deter you from purchasing the color!
yeah, i pretty much want this just for the name.
ReplyDeleteWas TOTALLY not interested in this until the picture of it swatched! (In the packaging it's completely meh, bodering on ugh to me - but on your arm/hand? Heaven.)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love anything with pinkish red hues and gold glitter <3
ReplyDeleteYay I cannot wait to get my paws on this color!
ReplyDeleteI may need this, if not only for the name! Thank God it rocks!
ReplyDeleteI really love this colour, but reminds me of one that comes in one of Sleek's palettes, I don't know the name right now. I guess the quality is completely different, but I would like to compare swatches before purchasing it. I also love the packaging, hard to resist to the cat in the box hehhee
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Cyber Monday. I'll go broke for sure, gotta get all the new neon loose pigments, the Sparkle Baby collection AND the Cold Chemistry palette. Like... SERIOUSLY!?
ReplyDeleteOmg this is so cute! My friend and I are total cat ladies so this is right up our alleys. This kind of reminds me of NARS Orgasm, but pinker and with a more pronounced gold tone. I have not seen an eyeshadow like this before, so I'm so excited for Cyber Monday to roll around this year. Thanks so much for the review Mai!! xx
ReplyDeleteOh I actually have that color, in the Original palette? I did a quickie swatch and the one in the Sleek palette has a more pale pink base versus the slighty darker rosier base in Kitten Parade. I could do comparison if you'd like!
ReplyDeleteI feel like it is a requirement for cat lovers and cat ladies
ReplyDeleteSeriously right? The name is so perfect and the best kind of marketing!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any Sugarpill eyeshadows yet because I didn't want to spend so much for bright colors I'd rarely wear. I've got tiny eyes and big glasses, plus I'm lazy with complicated eye make up, so super bright colors are a rare thing for me. However, the entire Sparkle Baby collection is totally up my alley: lighter shades with sparkle and interest. Looks like this will make my first Sugarpill purchase in August :)
ReplyDeleteThe one I meant is from the Lagoon palette. There are two similar colours, one is more of a pink base and the other more orange. You're right, there's one in the Original palette which is very similar. Actually I remember now when I bought Lagoon palette I thought Sleek used the same colour hhaha, but I never swatched them next to each other. I'll really appreciate if you swatch both together :) Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I thought there were 2 similar colours in the Lagoon and 1 in the Original palette, but I've just checked, and there's just 1 in the Lagoon and the one you say. I don't know why made me think the other way hehe
ReplyDeleteI'd buy this for the sweet kitten alone, but the color is gorgeous! It's a much softer shade than I expected. I don't have any Sugarpill (*gasp*) but this will be my first purchase asap!
ReplyDeleteYep, I would buy this just for the packaging!
ReplyDeleteOnce the sun comes out (it's been a little overcast here), I'll be sure to swatch it against the color in the Original palette!
ReplyDeleteGreat!! thanks Mai :)
ReplyDeletei LOVE SUGARPILL and am so ecstatic that they have come out with a new collection
ReplyDeleteTotally getting it. Yep. Gorgeous swatches Mai!
ReplyDeleteI need this eyeshadow!
