Initially, I thought…nah. Not really my thing. But then I got one of the Dutch Treats mini collections with this color in it, and tried it out. Yes, it's a basic pink; but it covers well, and has the silver micro-flakies in it to give it a little extra...
This color is…interesting! Not quite a brown, not quite a light burnt orange, with faint gold shimmer. It's a little bit like Zoya's Jennifer, in that it's a warmer brown that actually looks good on me. It doesn't have enough overt yellow tones to make my hands look reddened....
The two blues in this collection (I Have a Herring Problem and I Don't Give a Rotterdam) are very very close…so close that you can't be blamed if you thought that they were the same color when you first saw them on the store shelf, or the display rack....

The pigmentation is decent on this one, and I like that there's a nonmetallic version of this shade. I think some...
Part of my first order from Sugarpill. I like the quantity, the texture and color payoff are good, but I haven't long-term field-tested the adhesion of this particular shadow. I have other grey/silver metallics, but there don't seem to be too many silver-white metallics. The only other one I...
With makeovers, you can see the results right away. You know if a color looks good on you, or if it is applied too dark / too light / slightly out of place. You can experiment, wipe the slate clean, start again, perfect and correct. At the very worst, you have to...
