Sugarpill Sparkle Baby Palette Review

Hi everyone!

So this post is a little bit after-the-fact, but I finally ordered the Sugarpill Sparkle Baby Palette! I had been eyeing this palette for a really long time, but kept putting off on ordering it because I wasn't sure how often I would use colors that bright. Well, I finally went ahead and ordered it, and I am so happy I did! It is an awesome palette that is more versatile than I thought, and the shadow quality and pigmentation is amazing. Here are some pictures:






From L to R: Kitten Parade, Frostine, CandyCrush, Hotsy Totsy



In the pictures of me, I am wearing Kitten Parade on the lid with Frostine and Hotsy Totsy in the crease and outer corner. I was able to create a colorful look that was not too over-the-top, and I loved it! The shadows are extremely easy to work with and blend and have a very smooth texture. The pigmentation is some of the best I've seen with eyeshadow (my phone camera definitely does not do them justice).

Overall, I would highly recommend this palette if you enjoy colorful eye looks. Obviously this is not a neutral palette, but it can also be paired with other neutral shadows to tone down the colors if you want. The quality is excellent and I will definitely be buying from Sugarpill in the future!

Do you have this palette already? What are your thoughts on it? Comment down below!

Best,
Anna

Project 100 Pan ~ 6 Month Update and August Empties!

Hi everyone!

So...I really think the title of this post should be "August Empties (and a very embarrassing Project 100 Pan update)" because I hardly made any progress this month! Unfortunately I feel like I fell off the bandwagon a little bit. I haven't really been focusing on my Project Pan items and I have definitely bought new makeup. Since I was feeling a bit discouraged about the whole thing, I did a small declutter and got rid of some of the things in my Project Pan that I decided were too old or that I really wasn't going to use. I hope that doesn't count as cheating! I figure it will allow me to focus on things I love more.

Now on to my pathetic update! I finished one measly Project Pan item this month - the Tarte Vitamin Infused Lip Gloss:
At least I finished something!
As for things I threw out, here's a list (sorry I forgot to take pictures!):
1. Victoria's Secret Pink Tinted Lip Balm in Love
2. NYC Lipstick in Peach Fizz
3. Burt's Bees Gloss in Pucker Berry
4. Bite Beauty for VIB Rouge Lipstick (I had two and kept one since this is a really nice lipstick)
5. Elf All Over Color in Toasted

As for finishing products in general, I didn't do too bad for August! Here's pictures of everything I finished:




Sorry for the rather dirty appearance of some of the bottles; it was near impossible to get them presentable looking! Also, please excuse my poor photography skills.

Out of all my August empties, I really enjoyed the Tarte Smooth Operator Powder, Victoria's Secret Body Lotion, and the Tony and Guy Hairspray. As for things I didn't like as much, I won't be repurchasing the John Frieda Blow Out Spray because I didn't feel that it did much for my hair.

If you have any questions or comments about any of the products, please leave a comment below! Some of the pictures are a bit small, I know, so I would be happy to clarify anything that needs it! :) Thanks for reading!

Best,
Anna
