Sugarpill -review #2

I recently put another order in @ Sugarpill Cosmetics and this is what I got! I bought the Cold Heart palette, Buttercupcake pressed eye shadow, Birthday Girl loose eyeshadow, Paperdoll loose eyeshadow and Tiara loose eyeshadow. They recently had a 20% off sale since the company is now a year old, so I happily took part! Highly pigmented and a lot of product for your dollar. A little definitely goes along way, so be prepared to own these eyeshadows for along time! Here are the following pictures of my order, I wish I saved the box it came in since they now have their own box stamped with the sugarpill logo. (This is picture heavy!)

Final homemade eye shadows!

Photobucket

So these are the few colors I'm finally done with. I'm very happy with how they come out. I also swatched these so you could see what they look like on the skin. Still working on more colors but these are the ones for now. Definitely testers. In the above picture, the first is like a pink melon, the second is sort of a dark brick red with glitter, the third is a lime green but more on the olive side, the fourth is a regular old purple with glitter, the fifth is a light baby pink with glitter, and the sixth is a light blue with glitter.

My homemade eye shadow swatches!

Lately I've been working on making my own eye shadows and so far this is what I got. Not perfect yet by any means but still working on them. I've been having a lot of fun making colors and just learning the whole how to make an eye shadow process. Hoping to make more soon and see what I can get. Below are the results of my recent makes:

Yaby - Liquid Foundation

I know it's a bit late but I wanted to review Yaby Cosmetics liquid foundations. Since I have a way better camera now it's easier to take pictures and not have them come out all blurry. Any how, what can I not say about Yaby? For those who don't know about Yaby Cosmetics, they are a makeup line based out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The owner is Liz Yu and she has made some of the best makeup out there in my opinion. They make free style palettes easy for the makeup artist to organize their kit. Their pearl paints are probably some of the best eye shadows I have ever used and purchased. This makeup is highly pigmented and excellent for photography as well as every day wear.

The liquid foundations have only been around for maybe a little over a year and they come in 13 different shades as well as 6 different correctors. Each foundation comes in a clear 8ml (.272 fl oz) tube and you don't need a lot of this foundation because a little goes a long way. It's tube container is super easy for an MUA since they don't need to use a spatula, so it's more sanitary. These foundations go on super smooth and have amazing coverage. It's an oil free foundation, so it leaves the skin looking flawless. Each tubes goes for $12.50 from the Yaby site it self or $12.99 from Camera Ready. I highly recommend any makeup artist to have these in their kit, I use them all the time on models for my shoots. If you want your skin to have a natural finish, I'd suggest Yaby's liquid foundations!
