Sydney Grace Sweet Indulgence Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Sweet Indulgence
Sydney Grace Sweet Indulgence 9-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($33.00 for 0.54 oz.) is a new, permanent palette that included four shimmer eyeshadows and five matte eyeshadows. One shade–Sweet Cakes–was a little more powdery than is typical for the brand’s matte eyeshadows, but otherwise, the eyeshadows were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing with little to nitpick over!

Sugar Bear
Sugar Bear is a medium-dark pink with warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, almost velvety, and blendable without being prone to fallout or sheering out too readily. It had opaque color payoff that stayed on well for eight hours before showing signs of fading.

Formula Overview
$5.25/0.06 oz. - $87.50 Per Ounce
The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

Lolli
Lolli is a dusty, dark pink with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was the type of shade that was almost brown because of the depth and warmth, but it looked too rosy to be a true brown. The texture was soft, a little powdery in the pan, but it was blendable and easy to work with. It had opaque pigmentation that lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Gumdrop
Gumdrop is a light-medium purple with warmer, pink undertones and flecks of blue-to-violet shifting sparkle over a metallic finish. It had a slightly more loosely-pressed texture with larger sparkle particles, so there was light fallout during application if I wasn’t careful to press/pat it into place. It had nearly opaque color coverage that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. It stayed on nicely for eight hours with slight fallout over time.

Formula Overview
$6.25/0.06 oz. - $104.17 Per Ounce
The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen.
Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn't have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

Taffy
Taffy is a richer, yellowed brown with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, more velvety texture that was substantial enough not to sheer out too readily but was still very blendable. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Bubblegum

The texture was moderately dense, smooth, and almost cream-like but needed to be used with a slightly firmer hand to pick up product evenly. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

This one reminds me of all the fairy kind of palettes that CP puts (churns) out, with very similar shades. Although this is definitely of stellar quality. I do like the Sherbet shade the best.
I wouldn’t get use out of most of these shades but Taffy and Sherbet are beautiful and would work well with SG x Temptalia – On The Horizon dark. Taffy looks muted orange to me (as if SG tangerine, red start and pnut butter had a baby). Sherbet looks dark blue-teal, gorgeous shade, strange name. Gumdrop looks similar to Aurora, but Aurora is stunning, hard to top that one! 🙂
They definitely would pair well with OTH!
Thank you <3
I’m not sure what it is about this, but I don’t love it. Your palettes with them as well as their other palettes, like Autumn Reign, are much more cohesive and better put together.
Oh La La go Sydney Grace!! So I won this in one of their giveaways and I already knew it was wonderful but so glad to see this rated so highly!! Sherbet looked a little more gritty (I’ve used other shades just not that one) so I’m glad to hear it feels smooth!
I really really love the pinks in this palette but I’m trying to lay off palettes. If they were to ever put these out as singles I would snatch them in a heartbeat.
Sherbert for the win. I’d like to see Sydney Grace make these palette eyeshadows available as singles. There are a few palettes with one or two shades that I’d like to have, but not the rest.
