On the inner lid I applied MUFE Cafe Latte #164 Eyeshadow 164 (matte light brown).

Beautee Sense False Eyelashes

Beautee Sense False Eyelashes

In case you are curious, for most of my looks I use Beautee Sense False Eyelashes. These are sold at my local beauty supply store. Beautee Sense is a NY based company so I assume these eyelashes may be available at other beauty supply stores in NY.You may also purchase the lashes wholesale if you so desire directly from http://www.beauteesense.com/. They cost $84 or $90 (depending on packaging) for 72 pairs.

These eyelashes are cheaper than Ardell's False Eyelashes at $2.49 per pair and I actually prefer them over Ardell. There are numerous styles available from natural to over-the-top. They are comfortable and lightweight which is a necessity for false eyelashes. After all, you don't want to actually 'feel' your eyelashes. They also use a clear band at the base of the lashes for a more natural look.

Sugarpill Cosmetics

Sugarpill Cosmetics

"Sugarpill Cosmetics is a custom line of vibrant, richly pigmented, velvety pressed eyeshadows and sparkling loose powders.

The dream of starting my makeup line came about in 2005. While running my fashion line, Shrinkle, I also sold Kryolan brand makeup because I believe that no awesome ensemble is complete without a glamorous face. However, I always wished I had control over the makeup’s quality, brand image, and the products and colors offered.

So I decided to create a new line of unique, luxury eyeshadows in striking hues for fearless color fiends who aren’t afraid to sparkle in the crowd. Sugarpill eyeshadows offer long-lasting wear that remains flawless throughout the day and night, so you’ll never find yourself sneaking off for midparty touch-ups.

XOXO
Amy (Shrinkle)"

I'm a sucker for bright vivid colors so, of course, I was drawn to this brand after seeing reviews on YouTube. I have always heard great things about Amy aka Shrinkle so I decided to give these eyeshadows a shot.

The Website:
The website (Sugarpill.net) has a simple (but gorgeous) design and is easy to navigate. The colors and graphics are amazing. The products are well photographed and there are very accurate swatches available at the click of a button. The overall look grabs your attention without being overwhelming.

Purchasing, Shipping  and Customer Service:
The website accepts all major credit cards and paypal so no one should feel left out here.

I received a confirmation email for my order within minutes of placing it. I also received a shipping confirmation email about 24 hours later.

The UPS box had a personalized kitty logo stamped on the box. You also get a free Sugarpill logo sticker with your order and two beautiful business cards.

I must say Amy lives up to the hype! She gives great customer service!
