Heart Breaker Review

Hey Bloggerettes! I was super excited when Sugarpill announced they were making a third eyeshadow palette as part of their Heart series. Heart Breaker has four bright matte shades; Acidberry a neon chartreuse, Velocity a bright navy blue, 2am a bright red based purple, and Mochi a mint shimmer. The formula of this palette is not as opaque or smooth as the colors featured in the Burning Heart and Sweetheart palettes. With a good base the colors really shine.

Clockwise; Acidberry, Velocity, 2am, and Mochi.

 The top half has no base, bottom half is Urban Decay Primer Potion; Acidberry, Velocity, 2am, and Mochi.

As you can see when no base is used the colors are chalky. This is easily remedied with a good base like Urban Decay Primer Potion. I also really like using Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk for these colors. Along with Heart Breaker I picked up a pair of Saint eyelashes for a sweet $5! Cheaper than the lashes at drug stores and much better quality. 

I did a quick look using Mochi and Saint eyelashes after I received the palette. I'm also wearing Dollipop eyeshadow for blush! Other shadows used are from Urban Decay Naked 2 palette which I picked up the day before.

As a huge fan of all things Sugarpill and Shrinkle I am pretty happy with Heart Breaker and Saint lashes. When I do my make up I always use a base so it doesn't bother me that the shadows are less than stellar otherwise. I definitely plan on trying more lashes in the future as well as getting another pair of Saint. Heart Breaker is currently in stock for $34, $5 shipped.

Stone Cold Saved

 Hey there Bloggerettes! Today I bring to you a combination of China Glaze Stone Cold and OPI Save Me. Both polishes are on my top favorite polish list so it made perfect sense for them to join forces. Epic things happened, lol. I started off with 2 coats of Stone Cold followed by 2 coats of Save Me. I did a thick coat of Seche Vite to tame the hairy glitter in Save Me.

Look at all that glorious sparkle! But I wasn't entirely satisfied, so I added a coat of Essie Matte About You.

There we go, much better! What do you think of this look? I think the matte really brought out the awesome of Save Me. Such a magical glitter. 

I haven't posted anything Bronson lately so here's a little update. He is now 6 months old and going through a serial teething phase. Today he chewed my very expensive glasses. :( But damn it he's so cute! Le sigh. Here's evidence of the cuteness!

Sigma Paris Palette

 Hey Bloggerettes! It's been a hot minute since I last did a make up related post but I am coming back with a doozie! This post is all about the new Limited Edition Sigma Paris palette. The Paris palette was a collaboration between Sigma and a few well known Bloggers who were inspired by monuments in Paris. Very cool! It's made up of 8 eye shadows, 2 blushes, 1 highlight, an angled blush brush, and an eye shadow brush. My only complaint is the lack of a bronzer for conturing. Otherwise this is the perfect palette for day, night, every day, and travel!

The palette comes with a little pamphlet with details about the Bloggers, locations, and of course the makeup.

The sleeve, it looks like a cute little package!

The front of the palette. Mosaic details and filigree, very pretty.

The back. Ingredients and a list of the Bloggers who worked on this project. I have been a fan of XSparkage, Petrilude, and MACNC40 since I was 14 back in the LiveJournal days! Crazy, huh?

The palette is a flip top with a large mirror. The brushes have little cubbies, eye shadow brush on top, blush brush on bottom.

 Eiffel, black with rainbow sparkle. Seine, navy blue shimmer.

Closeup of Eiffel! Reminds me of Sugarpill Stella.

 Louvre, matte darkened teal. Orsay, bright teal with gold shimmer. 

 Elysees, burgundy brown shimmer. Notre Dame, brownish mauve.

Triomphe, duochrome brown to green. Versailles, champagne gold shimmer. Perfect highlight color.

Fancy Wallpaper

Good morning everyone! Today a group of fellow Bloggerettes and I are partaking in a group tape mani! Last week the ladies did water marbling but I was unable to join so I am so excited to join the party this week. I had this look in my head forever was so relieved and excited to be able to finally work on it. It reminds me of pretty wallpaper, lol. 

For this look I did 2 coats of OPI Black Cherry Chutney, a dark red/black shimmer and 1 coat of Seche Vite. After giving it some time to dry I took 2 pieces of regular Scotch tape and made triangles. Next was 1 thick coat of China Glaze Stone Cold, a matte charcoal. Then I got my BM21 plate and used China Glaze 2030, a gold chrome, and used the vine and leaf image. I left the tape on during the stamping. To keep the image intact I did a coat of Essie Matte About You. You'll notice in some of my pictures the before and after when using Essie Matte About You.

Isn't OPI Black Cherry Chutney beautiful! I was so happy to finally add it to my collection. Now here are the links to the other ladies participating in our Thursday Group Tape Mani! Hope you enjoy them!
