Bit of a different post today, althought I actually wrote this out on Monday my computer crashed and I had to rewrite most of it TOT.
So I completely forgot about this, but recently Shrinkle launched her make up brand Sugarpill. And I was checking her blog for update and saw the site was up.


I was pretty excited about this brand anyways and after watching some reviews on Youtube I really want to try it now:O. It looks so awesome and I’ll be honest here too, I want one of the glittter stickers. So cute!
I suppose I don’t seem the type to like bright make up but…
During my 6th form/A level years ( about 6 years ago TAT) I really got into bright make up and used to search the internet looking for inspiration and brands to try. So I felt like I’d tried what the UK had to offer (except for some that where either too expensive at the time or where from a company that I knew the quality would be crappy).
To cut a long story short, I began using theatrical make up as it was insanely bright. I ended up trying Kryolan which I brought from Shrinkle’s ebay store . I was attracted to the brightness and her photos of her using them (she’s so skilled!!). I do still use my Kryolan shadows, though they are a little negleated:O
Now the wish list!
Pressed

I don’t have many pinks in my collection however I don’t often wear them either.

I’m always drawn to the purple first, this one looks like a lovely blue based one which I am always hunting for! However I do own a few purple already:S

I have too many blues! Far too many. But this is such a lovely looking blue though, so fresh.

Although I’m not really drawn to this green, it would be good to have a green in my collection.
Loose

I love silvers and this one looks gorgeous.

I don’t own any golds, I usually shy away from them as I don’t really like gold as a colour or even as jewellery. I feel silver looks better on my skin. But I am tempted by this though.
Which one do you think I should try? Which ones do you like? Are you into bright make up?
I’m leaning towards the green pressed shadow and either one of the loose shadows as I’d like to get one of each to compare:).
Just if anyones interested here is a list of companies that I know do bright make up.
(No pictures of me using my products as I can’t seem to find my disk with my old make ups)
Uk
Barry-m~British made company (Have tried~Love)I’ve got a few of their Dazzledusts which are super bright, as are their polishes. Affordable and good quality.

(My dazzledusts forgot to photo my polishes~I have loads though)
Sleek~(have tried~like)They have a few bright products, I think some loose dust(?) some lippies ,and then the super neon ACID palette which is crazy bright though alittle chalky.


Stargazer~(haven’t tried their eyeshadows but tried the polishes and lipsticks) Can’t really comment on this brand as it’s been ages since I used it last.
International
Kryolan~(have tried~LOVE ITXD)I have 7 eyeshadow, 2 aqua colours and a neon aqua colour palette which is UV reactive:D Although admittedly alittle under used recently since my love of neutrals came about .They are amazing. RECOMMENED PLACE TO BUY:Shrinkle

(I had more that I thought:O)
Ben Nye~(have tried~LOVE ITXD)I have 3 of their Grande Lumiere eyeshadows as they where until recently abit difficult to get hold of. RECOMMENED PLACE TO BUY:UK Screenface

Sugar Pill~(haven’t tried but would like toXD)The products on offer look good~matte bright coloursXD and the reviews look promising.

Others

Urban Decay ~(haven’t tried~would like to)

Some other companies that have brights~MAC,NARS,Anna Sui . I didn’t really mention them because they’re more known.
