Colourful Sweetheart

I'm not generally one for bright colors when it comes to makeup, I tend to prefer either neutral or dark looks. But when I saw the Sugarpill eyeshadows I just couldn't resist, they are such vibrant and beautiful colors. Today I'm going to review one of the palettes, Sweetheart.

From top left: Dollipop, Afterparty, Midori, Tako

There are four colors in this palette: Dollipop is a matte hot pink, Afterparty is a blue with a semi-pearl sheen, Midori is a  green with a slight pearl sheen and finally Tako which is a matte white. All of the colors can be bought separately. The colors have really good pigmentation and are easy to apply and blend, although Tako isn't quite as pigmented as the other three colors. To be warned that Dollipop and Afterparty the pink and the blue can stain on the lid if you don't use some sort of base.

All in all I think this is a great palette if you like bright bold colors. I bought this palette from Nelly.com but Sugarpill is soled at numerous places including Sugarpillshop.com

Purple Lust

Another one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes is the Wet 'n Wild Color Icon Palette in Lust. It has six purple shades (several who is supposed to be good MAC dupes.)

On the plus side all the color have fairly good pigmentation and there are three matte shadows as well as three shimmery and all the colors complement each other very well.

On the negative side the shadows can apply a little patchy if you don't use a base, also the matte shadows tends to not have quite as good pigmentation as the shimmery ones.

All in all I think this is a really good palette especially for the price. So if your on a budget or you just want some more purple eyeshadow I would absolutely recommend this.

50 Matte Chocolates

One of my most used eyeshadow palettes is the IsaDora 50 Matte Chocolates. It's great for creating not only everyday looks but also for more dramatic makeup. It has five colors, all matte as you can tell by the name, raging from a light skin tone color to a really dark brown.

On the plus side all the colors have good pigmentation and  are really soft and easy to blend. Like I said it has a good range of neutral colors not to mention it's cheap.

On the negative side the shadows can be a bit flaky so you might need to use a primer or a base underneath and they tend to have a bit of fallout so be careful when applying especially the darker colors. Also the colors aren't very unique so if you already have a lot of neutrals this might not be for you.

All in all I think this is a great product especially for the price and I would definitely buy it again. IsaDora is a Swedish company but it can also be bought from cosmeticmall.com.
