Beauty Product Reviews

I fell in love with Lumi after seeing the swatches online. I was not disappointed in person. It is a translucent shade of BRIGHT turquoise. I cannot get over how bright the color is, it absolutely glows. The "flash" of turquoise it creates with the light hits it makes it a perfect highlighting shade. I love blending out a black smoky eye with it - over a dark shadow, the color really comes to life, and it blends in seamlessly at the brow and inner corner for a nice highlight.

Excellent Colors

The Sugarpill palette in Heart Breaker is really an excellent overall product. The selected colors make a very well-chosen set - any two or three of the shades pair together beautifully (or all four if you're going all out!), at the same time that each color can stand on its own. I've been playing with this palette pretty much every day since I picked it up. The colors are smooth and buttery, and blend together with other shadows absolutely seamlessly. I have a LOT of eyeshadow and this one blows everything else out of the water in terms of blendability.

I will say that the pigmentation was not what I was expecting after using some of their loose shadows, which are absolutely packed with dense color. I have incredibly pale skin, but even after trying several different types of primer, I have had to work to build color up to the same intensity I see in other people's photographs. I'm still giving this palette five stars because that actually works in my favor - I have been enjoying twisting a little bit of Velocity and 2AM into a work-safe eye, which I could not do if the colors weren't able to apply a little bit sheerly. I honestly thought I was doing something wrong during application until I read some of the other reviews on here, and saw that other people have noticed the same sheerness in the pigmentation. Anyway, if anything, this has actually increased the range of use I get out of this palette, so I don't count it as a negative at all. Just be warned that to get completely opaque, vivid color, you will need to dip your brush a few times.

Absolutely Beautiful

I feel like I have been seeing this shadow everywhere! I gave into the urge to impulse buy this after seeing it mixed with clear nail polish to create the most stunning, mirror-finish gold nails I have ever seen. After seeing it in person, I have no regrets. I put it on as soon as I got it in the mail, and it just makes blue eyes look phenomenal. I also have to give props to Beautylish's fantastic speedy shipping and top notch customer service. With my new found love for Sugarpill and Beautylish combined, I feel like I'll probably own all of these shadows in no time.

Beautiful and Functional

This is my go-to eye primer. I have been using a deluxe sample for the last 4 months, and it's STILL kicking... but I bought a full size, and it's waiting in my train case at home for when the sample finally runs out. It's lasted this long because you do not need to use much product for good staying power and a sheer wash of color. I use this primer every day under my eye shadow. It gives a really pretty, sheer golden glow to any shadow you put over it. Additionally, because of the glowing highlight it gives, I frequently wear it by itself to work. Plus, it does a great job of hiding the shadows and blood vessels that appear on my eyelids by the time Friday rolls around. Makes for a very simple 5 minute face when I'm rushed in the morning.
