Sugarpill Sparkle Baby Eyeshadow Palette ($34.00 for 0.48 oz.) includes four full-sized eyeshadows (so it’s a $48 value). You can also purchase each of the eyeshadows individually for $12. The colors are interesting pops of color that are fun to see and try to use together. The texture of the eyeshadows seemed a little drier than usual, particularly with Hotsy Totsy, which was dry and almost clumpy–very odd for a pressed eyeshadow. Surprisingly, Frostine was the best, despite being such a light shade (and purple, always a challenge). They wore well once on the eye, but there is a lot of fall out during application that makes it a messier palette to use.

Kitten Parade is described as a “shimmery peach with opulent golden sheen.” It’s a coral-pink with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. The texture was slightly dry and powdery, which made the color payoff weaker (semi-opaque). It wore well for eight hours. Gucci Beauty Autumn Fire #2 (P) is darker, more orange. Too Faced Paper Roses (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery. Clinique Pink and Plenty (P, $17.00) is a cream product. Urban Decay X (P, $18.00) is lighter. Lancome Kitten Heel (P, $19.00) is less warm-toned. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Frostine is described as a “frosty pale lavender.” It’s a light-medium, cool-toned lavender with a subtle sheen. It had fairly good pigmentation, and the texture was a smidgen powdery but very silky and smooth, so it was easier to work with and blend on the skin. This shade didn’t start to fade until after eight hours of wear. Milani Bella Violet (14) (P, $3.99) is darker. MAC Great Beyond #3 (LE, $21.00) is lighter, warmer. Tarina Tarantino Diamond Dusk #1 (LE) is more shimmery, lighter. Fyrinnae Unicorn (P, $8.25) is lighter. MAC Digit (P, $15.00) is lighter. MAC Beautiful Iris (P, $15.00) is darker. Guerlain Attrape-Coeur #4 (LE) is darker, more shimmery. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Datura (P, $14.00) is more shimmery. Inglot #440 (P, $6.00) is brighter, more shimmery. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

CandyCrush is described as a “glistening mint pearl.” It’s a cool-toned, aqua blue with a frosted, silvery-white shimmer. It had good pigmentation, but the texture was dry and looser, so it felt a little crumbly applied. This resulted in a fair amount of fall out during application and made it harder to apply to the skin, as the powder didn’t bind well or smooth over the skin easily. Once on, I was able to get eight hours of wear out of this shade. Stila Aquamarine (P) is less shimmery. Dior Dulcinee #5 (LE) is less shimmery. Too Faced Joy (LE, $16.00) is similar. theBalm B2 (LE, $16.00) is warmer. MAC Lucky in Love (LE, $21.00) is darker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Hotsy Totsy is described as a “sweet magenta with iridescent fairy sparkles.” It’s a brightened, medium-dark fuchsia pink with cool undertones and pink and white shimmer over a matte finish. The texture was drier and powdery, where some of the powder would clump together while you were applying the rest. This is a shade that needed to be patted on very gently and packed into place to get decent vibrancy out of it. Applied, the color stayed on well for eight hours. Too Faced Monaco (P, $16.00) is more shimmery. Sugarpill Smitten (LE, $12.00) is cooler-toned, more shimmery. Too Faced Bright Eyes (LE, $16.00) is warmer. Too Faced Totally Fetch (LE, $16.00) is more shimmery. Urban Decay Woodstock (P, $18.00) is more shimmery. MAC Tease with Ease (DC, $21.00) is darker, more shimmery. MAC Brash & Bold (P, $21.00) is warmer. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

I’ve been really enjoying mine. Frostine is so incredible! That’s definitely going to be the first one to hit pan on for me. It’s such a beautiful, unique shade. It’s a perfect addition to my preferred lavender smokey eye as well. Sugarpill for me is never as good in my arm swatches as it is on the lid and this palette follows suite. Hotsy Totsy would be a real dud for me if it didn’t work extremely well as a blush on my skin. It’s definitely the driest SP shade for me (so dry that I don’t really want to apply it to my eye), but the texture is comfortable and very nice as a blush so that saves it. Still would prefer another pastel or really anything but yet another Sugarpill hot pink. My Candy Crush is very buttery and wears well. Liking it as an eyeliner or inner corner shade with Frostine. Kitten Parade I haven’t played around with yet.

Frostine is definitely the best shade, though. And something all purple-lovers should add to their collection. It’s shown up extremely well on every skin tone I’ve seen it on (so from fair porcelain to dark brown with red undertones and in between) and is just a really special lavender. It looks cool paired with Datura from OCC on the dupe list too!

We are so on the same wavelength, Celia!

They’re a bit like MAC eyeshadows – perform better on the lid than swatched, though it’s never clear why – but often, I have similar experiences with MAC ones. I guess they’re just more buildable than others that are sheer or dry and just look patchy on the lid.

I was very surprised that Frostine was my favorite, since pastels can be tough to do right!

CeliaV Avatar

We’re always of the same mind (and makeup-loving heart) 😉 I definitely agree that MAC shadows can be that way too. Some of the shades from Lorac Pro 1 and 2 also show up much better on the lid than in my own swatches. Better than the reverse scenario 😛

I just got this in the mail last Friday and I really like it, especially the packaging :3 Hotsy Totsy is a little weird but once I got over the initial crumbly-ness, it adhered really well and went for a whole day on me. I got a lot of compliments when I wore these all together with a nice inky black eyeliner. 🙂

Jenny Cupcakes Avatar

Not especially, I just did my usual Primer Potion + NYX Milk combination and went from there. I also found that patting it on made a big difference before I blended it up and out. That’s my usual M.O. with weird eye shadows 🙂

I have this palette, and you’re very spot on with the descriptions.

What I found interesting is I compared this palette amount to my old Sweetheart palette from the company launch, and each pan now is 3.5g when previously the palettes had 4g. It’s still a good value with that amount, just something I noticed.

Kind of a shame because I have a feeling the pan size/shape may be different and I like to switch the pans around the different palettes depending on what I wanted to travel with.

Oh my gosh, I love this palette! I know some say the bright pink is out of place, but I really like how it looks with the other colors. Just one more thing to add to my ever-growing wishlist.

I’ve been wearing Kitten Parade every day since i got the palette, it’s so easy blended out with black liner & looks fantastic with my neutral/warmish colouring. Thanks for the patting tip for HotsyTotsy, just tried it and it works much better for an even shade. Kudos to Sugarpill for another beautiful launch 🙂

Initially I thought this too pastelly and sweet, but with a closer look, helped by swatchs and your look I must admit to liking 75% of it, I would find it hard to use Candycrush, light blues don’t go well with my colouring. I really like Frostine a lot, I might have to buy that as a single. I also like Kitten Parade, I think I have quite a lot of shadows that are close enough.

Helene Avatar

It could work, but some blues steel my colours, they make my eyes seem dull, and the complexion sickly yellow.
I love blues with brown eyes, my eyes are green/grey, depending on the light, mostly green, and though most colours work, blue is hard. I migh try to find this palette, just to try out the blue. If it doesn’t work, I can always just look at it and stroke it a bit now and then 🙂

Hi Christine! Just wanted to say I appreciate all you do and always come here to look for reviews before buying ANYTHING.

I love Sugarpill’s first two palettes (sweetheart and burning heart) and everything after those two seem to have fallen short for me. The heartbreaker seemed kind of murky/muted/dirty in color, and not only did I find the shadows powdery, they also faded on me almost instantly (despite UDPP and JEP). Don’t know if that has anything to do with my extremely oily lids or my yellow undertone though.

How do you feel like this one compares to the heartbreaker?

Maybe it’s just too soft for me lol. I’m definitely a fan of the bold!

Christine Avatar

I liked Heartbreaker more in terms of quality, but I think if you didn’t like Heartbreaker, I’m not sure you’d like this one. I didn’t have issues with the longevity though (and I don’t use primer to test), but my lids are normal – not really dry or oily.
