Autumn Daze: Sugarpill's Cold Chemistry Palette

Hello, sweet little sparkles! I have another change of pace from perfume posting today. For the longest time ever, I've been stalking the Sugarpill website and Facebook to see when the Cold Chemistry palette was going to be released. It was very hard to find an official release for this palette, but it finally came out (seemingly out of the blue)! While this palette is not part of any fall/autumn/Halloween collection, I think these colors are absolutely perfect for fall; so I decided it would be okay for this post to be part of "Autumn Daze!"


The Packaging

The packaging on this palette is different from the rest of the Sugarpill palettes. The main difference is that the Cold Chemistry palette contains four shadows horizontally. There is still a mirror in this palette, but as you can see below, it's an asymmetrical mirror to go with the theme. It's not very functional, but it's cute of course!

The Colors

There are four colors in this palette that compliment each other very well. They're very blendable, don't have much fallout, and are incredibly pigmented. Here are the color descriptions from Sugarpill's website:

Soot &Stars: Metallic gunmetal with prismatic sparkle

Diamond Eyes: Satin white with crystalline sheen. An excellent brow highlight color!

Elemental Chaos: Deep grape shimmer with iridescent blue undertones.

Subterranean: Lustrous peacock green with navy blue undertones.


The Swatches

And the most important part of this post- the swatches! These shadows were swatched on my arm over urban Decay Primer Potion.

Okay, so I do have an announcement before I go! After five years of agony and part time jobs with no hours, I finally got a job offer on Friday! It's still part time, but I'm going to be working five days a week, which I am very thankful for. I'll still be posting here as much as possible with autumny things!  I hope you guys have a wonderful day/night.

Sugarpill Sunday: New Heartbreaker Palette!

I had a very plesant surprise when I opened the mailbox yesterday and was greeted with my Sugarpill package. Woo hoo!

Above: I really dig the box, which came adorned with the Sugarpill kitty label. I almost exploded from sheer cuteness.

Above: Even V couldn't resist the pretty kitty packaging! I love this picture. All the products came wrapped in pink tissue paper (shown on the far left) with a free glitter sticker, free pigment sample, and business card. I ordered Tako (the one V is sniffing) and the new Heartbreaker palette (to the right of Tako).

Above: The top view of the Heartbreaker Palette. It's really quite adorable and seems to be made out of the same material as the original 3 Sugarpill palettes, in case anyone is curious! :)

Above: The guts of the Heartbreaker palette. Beautiful!

Above: Arm swatches with NO primer from L to R: Acidberry, Velocity, 2AM, and Mochi.

Shade Descriptions, a la http://www.sugarpillshop.com/:

+ Acidberry: Finally! The perfect vibrant lime green you've been looking everywhere for. Matte with slightly pearl sheen.

+ Velocity: Vibrant matte royal blue.

+ 2AM: Matte Purple with a slightly pearl sheen.

+ Mochi: Matte mint seafoam with a slightly pearl sheen.

The Verdict:

Once again, Sugarpill does not fail to disappoint. Shipping was super fast and the quality is definitely standard Sugarpill awesomeness. I wore Mochi today (it's freaking breathtaking, especially in person!) and it still looks as vibrant as it did when I first applied it, with absolutely no creasing or smudging. I tried snapping a few photos this afternoon, but I didn't like how they came out (AKA the makeup was pretty, but I looked like dog shit). I've been a fangirl since Sugarpill opened in 2010, so it's great to see the recognition and appreciation Sugarpill has accumulated ever since. Amy definitely deserves it!

The Heartbreaker palette is $34 (which breaks down to $8.50 each shadow), and can be purchased at http://www.sugarpillshop.com/

Are there any other Sugarpill fangirls out there? Anyone ordering this palette? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
