Mufe meets Sugarpill ♥

ASEFUFHEOWG! Once during last week I was so impressed with my own makeup work that I was at loss for words. Like, literally! So first I made a quick facechart about next day's school assignment (which was to do a makeup with a somekind of eyeliner as a main point), dreaming big with the colors. I wanted to play with Sugarpill´s Dollipop, since I so rarely get to use it on myself. I already knew who my partner/model would be, so I specifically designed this for her :)

 

 The most awesome part about these pictures is that I DID NOT have to photoshop them! Of course I had to crop the pictures and fix the contrast just a little but nothing else.

Products used for the eyes

- Nyx Jumbo Eyepencil  in Milk as a base

- Sugarpill Dollipop as the pink

- Make Up For Ever eyeshadow 09 as the darker purple

- Make Up For Ever eyeshadow 116 as the lighter purple

- Lime Crime Medusa as the eyeliner (mixed with Illamasqua seal)

- Sugarpill Afterparty as the blue/teal

- Sugarpill lashes Angel Baby

And of course I had to take like bazillion pictures of the makeup so here you goooo ...

Before and after!

 ..Quite the change huh? :)

I´ve now been studying for 6 weeks and I don´t think there could be anything as awesome as this new life, that I could do. Last thursday and friday I worked on a few fashion runways and I had a blast! The days were loooong, like 14 hours at a time, but I LOVE IT.  :)

Make up Forever Helsinki

So today  we went to the Mufe shop in Helsinki. We went trough an enourmous amount of products, so I snapped some pictures from the store afterwards. It appears that Mufe has more than 1400 products, all which are in superior quality.

 

 

 Oh, all the things from the last two days that I have bought.... Shame on me! Or not...

I purchased this for cleaning my brushes, but I haven't tried it yet, so I don't have an opion about it. I will let you know how this works, later on. So far I've only used shampoo for cleaning, but I wanted something for the disinfecting as well.

Oh and the lashes from yesterday, from Duroy. I think might have an obsession with lashes. I just saw these and crabbed them. End of story. After purchasing these, I was told that the white straws on the lashes, will glow under black light, so I already got sooooooo many ideas and cannot wait to fulfill them.

These last ones just screamed cleopatra or something with a big black eyeliner so... Now they are mine.

Can't wait to see what we do tomorrow!!!

Review: Sugarpill loving

I think I just died and went to heaven. I finally received a packace from sugarpill ♥. First I found out about Lime Crime (review coming later) via friend on Facebook and somehow after websurfing I stumbled apon another fab cosmetic line; Sugarpill!

Sugarpill - Afterparty
Sugarpill - Poison Plum
Lashes - Ebay
Maybelline Gel eyeliner

What is Sugarpill?
Sugarpill is "custom line of vibrant, richly pigmented, velvety pressed eyeshadows and sparkling loose powders", as they say on their website. The line was made by Amy Doan aka Shrinkle (her blog here). They sell  loose shadows, pressed shadows and pressed eye palettes. You can find them in here.

Sugarpill has become so popular, that most of their products are often out of stock on their website, and you can find lot of people on the internet that are looking for the products! So how did I get these? I ordered them via www.nelly.com . This webstore currently ships their products to Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany and to Netherlands! And all shipping is for free all summer! And they do have most of the products that are out of stock in US!

Same look as above

So I got the Cold Heart- eyeshadow palette which looks like this:

The package and the palette ~ Sooo pretty  ♥‿♥
(Btw; click the piture to see in real size)

"Sugarpill products are cruelty-free and never tested on animals!" ｡◕‿◕｡

So, first of all I´d like to say that I would buy this broduct based off the packaging only, because it´s soooo cute! Immidiately I feel like that these are something for me. And they are never tested on animals. Only downside I have to say about the palette, is that it´s made out of some cardboard box, so in my use (makeup with me all the time) it will probably start scatter from the edges... We´ll see. But the palette feels good in hand and the mirror in it is a good addition!

Afterparty

Bulletproof

It has four delish colours in it. Mostly I´m fond of the blue, because it has kind of a shimmer to it. But I´m also liking the Poison Plum, which is kind of royal matte purple, but still has a shimmer to it. Tako is an ordinary white, and is easy to use as a highlight. Bulletproof is a bit of a dissapointment, it´s not as dark as I hoped. It has a brownish edge to it.

Making only skin swatches is a bit boring so I made few eye swatches. And no, I would not wear these colors just like this, this is just to show the true colors and how they react with eyecolor and light etc.

Afterparty:

Poison Plum:

I ordered one separate pressed eyeshadow, this bright pink - Dollipop

And just to show how bright it is:

What a pretty pink!

And I also ordered three loose eyeshadows!

These are sooo vibrant and pretty, that I start drooling by just looking at the pictures...

☆ More Darling  ☆

So, all in all, I have to have to have to get more sugarpill products. No lying. These products are not the cheapest, but well worth the price. I can´t wait to get more! Amy, you are a genius. I´m also impressef with her, she is such colorful and beautiful herself!

Next week some time I´ll try to do the Lime Crime review as well :3 So till next time❣

Love Love ~
