Sugarpill recently released a brand new eyeshadow palette and it's freaking amazing. I have the other two and I love them, but wow, this one takes it to a whole new level. The palette is called Heart Breaker and it's available either as this four-pan palette I'm reviewing here, or as individual shadow singles.
Swatched over bare skin (no primer), natural light:Acidberry, Velocity, 2AM, Mochi
Look using Sugarpill Acidberry and Velocity.What I liked:
- The shadow formula is silky and pigmented without being too hard, chalky or powdery. The texture on these seems even better than the previous two palettes.
- Seriously, the pigmentation on these is amazing.
- The colors are not your standard bright shades and they look bold and interesting on the eyes.
- The packaging is top-notch. The bright colors, the artwork and design, the sturdy construction, the thorough labeling, everything about it is perfect.
- So inexpensive for such a good product. The entire palette is only $34 and the shadows are giant.
What I didn't like:
- Acidberry tends to fade/lose intensity by the end of the day unless I apply it over a white base.
- 2AM sometimes becomes streaky/patchy when blending it. I don't know if it's because of my primer or the color itself, but it seems like it doesn't adhere evenly to the skin. I have this problem with all matte purples, though.
- Sugarpill's palettes are so good that they always seem to be sold out on the website. You may need to follow them on Facebook to know when they'll restock each time.
NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Rated RYou know, I was thinking the other day that the top half of the palette reminds me of a better version of the NARS Rated R duo. It was the first NARS duo I ever bought and I've never been happy with the pigmentation, application, blendability or staying power of it, but I never returned it because I love the colors. Acidberry and Velocity aren't exact matches for the Rated R shadows, but they're close enough and about a million times better.
The Sugarpill Heart Breaker palette is available directly from Sugarpill's website. It retails for $34 and is not limited edition (yay!).

Looks amazing, I might order it from Make Up Geek (plus, they often have some discount codes) :)
ReplyDeleteI've never ordered from there, are they good? Safe? I'll have to check it out again. Discounts are good :D
DeleteMake Up Geek has great customer service and they ship SUPER fast.

Delete2am blends great for me, unlike Poison Plum. I use the original Too Faced Shadow Insurance primer.
ReplyDeleteSame here. 2AM is easier for me, but I still have to be careful with it or else I get the streaks. I still love both colors, though!
DeleteI've only tried the Chromalusts so far and I love them. I covet the palettes.
ReplyDeleteAlways have to make me lem things. Sugarpill is a dangerous combination of fabulous product in SUPER CUTE packaging. *shakes fist*
ReplyDeleteI made my first Sugarpill order recently and fell in love - I now want loads more! Beautiful colours, Acidberry is on my wishlist x
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I think I need some Sugarpill.... Now
ReplyDeleteHey!!! Have you seen iVardensphere, adversary and w.a.s.t.e live for their tour? It's amazing, you should check it out :)
ReplyDeleteHey have you seen ivardensphere, w.a.s.t.e and adversary on tour this summer? it was freaking amazing!
ReplyDeleteCan't reply up there, my Chrome is driving me crazy, grrrr. Anyway, I haven't ordered anything yet, but I've been hearing many good things about them EVERYWHERE, especially about their new line of eyeshadows. Plus, I've been fan of Marlena for a long time :)
ReplyDeleteI love Makeup Geek! Their eyeshadows are fantastic! I've ordered from them many times :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so hooked on sugarpill. Was this palette better than sweet heart? I can't decide between the two.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great company, I hope Amy comes out with lipsticks, I'd flip. :)
I think the texture on these is slightly better, but they're both awesome. I guess it just depends on which colors you see yourself using the most- can't beat the hot pink and white shades in Sweet Heart! This palette is slightly more subtle, but really... they're all worth owning.
DeleteMakeup Geek is awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI love this Sugarpill palette. I have 3 now: Cold Heart, Sweet Heart and Heart Breaker.
Acidberry is definitely my kind of green :)
my gripe with sugarpill is that I wish the box art was on the palette itself. Especially this particular palette, the box art is just crazy gorgeous!
