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.

My Pretty Zombie ~ LE Easter Collection

I've been absolutely neglecting makeup lately, which makes me a little sad! I love makeup, especially indie eyeshadows. I feel like the colors are so much more beautiful and versatile than their main stream counterparts. Additionally, they're so much more affordable. Who can beat that?

On another note, it seems as though my city has succumbed to Spring overnight. The trees are blooming and the weather is perfect. We don't really get a Spring season in the desert, but right now is as close to Spring as we will ever get; so I'm rolling with it. That being said, I'm in the mood for Spring related things- pastels and fresh, green scents!

Last year, I purchased the Limited Edition Easter collection from the indie makeup company, My Pretty Zombie. I never swatched them on my blog, so I thought I'd swatch them now... Only a year late! ;) All swatches are done over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy, as I feel it makes loose shadows show their full potential (especially glitters!). The swatches were photographed in direct sunlight.

Now I have some Spring cleaning to do, so take care you guys!
