Sugarpill Chromalusts: Paperdoll, Tipsy, Weekender

Sugarpill Chromalust ($12.00 for 0.19 oz.) recently launched seven new shades, and I have three of them to show you today: Paperdoll (lovely lavender with dazzling shimmer and sparkle), Tipsy (high-shimmer true grass green), and Weekender (metallic blue-violet with intense sparkle and sheen). All three shades are also vegan, just for reference! I hope to review the last remaining shade soon.

  • Paperdoll is a cool-toned, medium lavender with silver sparkle.
  • Tipsy is a brightened, medium grass green with yellow undertones. It’s a yellower green than Urban Decay Graffiti and darker and more pigmented than MAC Swimming.
  • Weekender is a silvered violet purple with blue and violet shimmer.

Chromalusts are loose eyeshadows that are extremely soft and smooth because of how fine these loose powders are milled. The three shades featured in this post are vegan, for reference. They can be worn wet or dry, though I tend to prefer them wet as a base, but they do work nicely dry–though better over a stickier shadow base.

Your Paperdoll looks so much nicer than mine. Did you have any trouble with the glitter just falling off and leaving a crusty matte mess? I have more trouble trying to use it wet, but it doesn’t look very good dry either.

My paperdoll doesnt look like that either, more lavender than your photo but i think your camera just makes the color look more vivid. Also, I just got my paperdoll in and it seems to brush off too easily …doesnt stick wet or dry on a base and such. I’ll keep tryin to work with it, but right now im disappointed.

I just bought paperdoll and hysteric. the paperdoll is non-existent on my lids (which i consider normal not oily) applied dry (over primer, bare study as a base, bare lids) and as soon as i tried to blend there was no shimmer/glitter visible 🙁 so i tried applying it wet. color is bright but completely matte! the hysteric (applied dry) has shed glitter all over my cheeks and it looks like i’m wearing glitter mascara. since everyone has been raving about these what’s the trick to application??

I prefer the paperdoll to look matte but when applied wet it left bald spots, it just wasnt working for me and i tried everything. I talked to Amy and got to exchange it for Lumi (which i love) maybe in the future if she comes out with a lavender pressed shadow Ill get that. *I dont have hysteric, and I didnt have luck working with the paperdoll (its also kinda difficult finding a good tutorial on paperdoll)

Do the pictures above the names tell you the type of shadow? I noticed that 2 have shoe pictures and have a more iridescent sheen to them than the one with the heart (the first one), which seems to be more pastel. What say you?

I thought the seven mentioned have been available for quite awhile..were they reformulated and re-released as new? Maybe my memory is fooling me, wouldn’t be the first time!

Can you design some looks that include these colors? I’d love to see them on the eyes (i.e. in their “natural habitat” so to speak).

I think Amy maintained the same formulation on Tipsy: I bought mine in October and the payoff is the same as in your swatches. It’s a great shade, IMHO. Chromalust have changed my opinion about Loose Eyeshadow 😀

blue & purple are beautiful. passing only because powder shadows are messier and take longer to apply and I tend to worry the germs can build up since the surface is always moving and stuff.

LOVE LOVE LOVE SUGARPILL!!! Trust me you will NOT be sorry if you purchase from them. I have every one of their loose pigments and most of their pressed shadows. The color is AMAZING and LASTS ALL DAY! The price is great and you can use the pigments wet or dry and NO FALLOUT!!!

Odd question but would Tipsy be comparable to Absinthe from Urban Decay? I’m trying to find a similar version of Absinthe since I can’t get Book of Shadows II and am having no luck :/

Shelle Avatar

Absinthe is more of a sheen and Tipsy has the glitter factor (although its not glitter overload) There are slight differences in the colors. Absinthe was more emerald green/brighter and Tipsy is more of a darker/grass green. *darker than absinthe, both bright* Under no light they are almost identical, when the light hits them is when you can see sublte differences.
