NEW: 2014 Sugarpill Sparkle Baby Eye Shadow Swatches

Long time no see, everyone!

I figured the best way to make a "bang" coming back is to show you guys the new Sugarpill eye shadows that are due this year. Now, they aren't released on their website nor most web shops from the looks of it. I acquired mine locally at Nigel's Beauty Emporium and snagged them up as soon as I saw them! This is as wearable as Sugarpill is going to get (for now).

 There are four beautiful colors, part of the Sparkle Baby collection. I am unsure of the official release date for them, but let me tease you some, yes?

I did not see a palette with all four shades per usual Sugarpill collection-releasing, but they did have the shades individually. Lets take a look at these beauties:

Sugarpill Kitten Parade

First, we have Kitten Parade which is my favorite from all four. My kitten seems to think so too since he gouged my eye shadow when I got around to using it!

This is a peachy coral with gold shimmer flecks. Contains a metallic finish. Applies smooth as buttah.

Sugarpill Candy Crush

Next, we have Candy Crush. It is a metallic light blue with ice blue flecks. Has the same metallic finish and buttery soft texture of Kitten Parade.

Sugarpill Hotsy Totsy

 Sugarpill also released two matte-ish shades for the collection.

First one of the two is Hotsy Totsy, a hot pink with a hint of magenta. It has subtle glitter in it; nothing chunky a la Urban Decay. Again, it has the matte eye shadow base, so it isn't super smooth like the two metallics in the collection. It is slightly powdery as well.

Sugarpill Frostine

Lastly, we have Frostine, a matte lilac shade with very understated shimmer. You can only see it if you look closely at the pan. This one feels more satin than matte.

I find the name strange for this one. I would've found that if this and Candy Crush would've swapped names, then it would be more fitting to the colors. Whatever floats Shrinkle's boat I guess! I have no complaints as long as I get my eyes shadow, dang it!

And of course, le swatches:

L-R: Kitten Parade, Candy Crush

L-R: Hotsy Totsy, Frostine

How do you feel about this collection? Do you see yourself picking it up once it's released in its entirety?

MAC Iris Apfel & Naturally Haul

Decided to stop by the Mac store in Valencia to take a look at the new Iris Apfel lippies.. of course, they're all mine now! I got lucky as none of them were sold out (yet) when I went in at 2 p.m. I got a little more than I intended to. Lets take a look.

Matchmaster 2.0

Redhead MSF

Blushbaby pro pan (missing from picture)

Party Parrot Lipstick

Scarlet Ibis Lipstick

Flamingo Lipstick

Pink Pigeon Lipstick

L-R: Pink Pigeon, Scarlet Ibis, Party Parrot, Flamingo

I'm absolutely in love with the texture of the lipstick. Scarlet Ibis was the only lipstick I was iffy about since I don't wear red lips very often, but it's surprisingly very flattering on my skin. Matchmaster was the star of this purchase. The color matches me perfectly, feels light, and makes my skin look very natural. I liked pro long wear, but had issues with coloring. Matchmaster is PLW but better. The only thing that might go back is Redhead MSF. It's a bit too much shimmer for me. Additionally, I recently purchased Dior Amber Diamond, so that was kind of an impulse purchase.
