Sugarpill ChromaLust Loose Eyeshadow in Lumi

Valentine's Day is the anniversary of Sugarpill Cosmetics.  I remembered from last year that on their birthday, they ran a 20% off sale, so I waited and sure enough, they did it again this year.

Sugarpill isn't exactly one of my go-to brands.  I definitely live day to day in a variety of neutral eyeshadows and blushes.  Sugarpill excels in vibrant pressed eyeshadows and pigments and they have a truly awe inspiring array of false lashes.

So I will note that I made my Sugarpill purchase knowing that I'm going to have to work to find a way to use these products.  Lumi is really sheer, it's mostly blue and green sparkle and it is stunningly pretty.

The packaging is cute, sturdy and functional.  The product is well labeled and since the packaging is see through, you can tell what it is without having to open it up.  The downside is that this product (like any pigment or loose product) is super messy.  You have to take care not to get it everywhere (unless that's what you're going for).

Sugarpill individual loose eyeshadows contain 6 grams of product and retail for $12 at Sugarpill's website.

Overall:  9/10

L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Bronzed Taupe

I love the L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadows so I was excited to pick up a new one in the shade Bronzed Taupe.  They are fantastic quality at a drugstore price point.  I have a variety of different colors with different finishes.  The Infallible shadows come in matte, sparkle and metallic finishes.  The metallic finishes are by far my favorite.  Just look at that swatch, isn't it beautiful!

The pigmentation of the Infallible shadows is fantastic. The wear time is fantastic on my lids with or without a primer I easily get 9 hours, but have worn them up to 12 hours with no noticeable creasing.  I will admit I haven't worn them for 24 hours (ewww), but I wouldn't wear any shadow for 24 hours.

I love the consistency of these shadows.  They are a pressed pigment and are looser than a solid pan of eyeshadow.  There is definitely some kind of liquid component and they apply so easily and smoothly.

The L'Oreal Infallible shadows contain 3.5 grams of product and retail for $7 - 12 depending on where you pick them up.
