Sugarpill liquid lipstick and petty poison review

Howdy campers. I thought I'd rustle up a roundup review on some Sugarpill lippies, seeing as it looks like I'm now collecting them. There are individual reviews on 'kimchi' and 'trinket' already hanging out on my blog, but I thought it would be handy to see all the liquid lipsticks together. So let's hop to it.

Well, I think it goes without saying that the packaging is utterly adorable. But then, we'd expect nothing less from Sugarpill. Be warned though, you need to store these delicately because any friction will scratch off the logos. These come with rather shaggy applicators which I thought would be a little difficult to work with, but turns out they apply the product just fine.

Sugarpill liquid lip color: kimchi, pumpkin spice, strange love, Trinket. 

Sigh. So pretty. 'Kimchi' is a donut scented pastel lavender-grey with very subtle icy blue shimmer. 'Pumpkin spice' is a pumpkin spice scented nutmeg-orange with copper-gold shimmer. 'Strange love' is a creamsicle scented oxblood red with champagne-silver shimmer. 'Trinket' is a creamsicle scented  rose-mauve pink with gold shimmer. The shimmer in every shade becomes more prominent with wear (or a gentle rub).

They all require two coats for opacity, but the formula is so lightweight and plush that layering doesn't lead to that dreaded tight, mask-like feeling. They dry down in a few minutes to a comfy, transfer proof finish.

Bottom line- they look, smell, and feel GORGEOUS.

Moving on to the Pretty Poison bullet lipstick, seen here hanging out with her friend 'pumpkin spice'. These are semi-matte opaque lipsticks in super cute shades, of which I own 'U4EA' (pronounced euphoria). It's a fabulous teal which applies with no drag and no streaking. 'Odd' colours are notoriously difficult to formulate well, but Sugarpill have done really well on this baby.

Of course, being a traditional lippy, it does transfer. Happily though, it's pigmented enough that it fades gracefully from the centre instead of leaving that awful ring. I didn't experience any bleeding either, which is great.

And, obviously, I'm smitten with the glittery pill-style packaging. It's like a toy!

If I get any more Sugarpill lipsticks, I'll add swatches to this post. I'm very likely going to get any new liquid lipsticks they come out with, but I'm also lusting over their new dark shades of Pretty Poison. Ah. The struggles of being broke.

Sugarpill kimchi liquid lipstick- review and swatches

Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to own the new Sugarpill liquid matte lipstick! This review will focus on 'kimchi', but I've got 'trinket' coming in the post so I'll whack a post on that one up once it's in my possession. But for now, without further ado, meet Kimchi:

Trust Sugarpill to come out with ridiculously cute packaging. It looks like an adorable toy! When I opened it to have a cheeky play, I was a bit concerned with the applicator- it looks quite shaggy. Thankfully, it doesn't compromise on getting clean lines, and applying the colour is actually really easy. This is mostly because the doe foot is shaped so it hugs the curves the lips while you glide it along. It's a sensual experience, not gonna lie.

And speaking of senses- the product smells like donuts. Honestly. Yum.

And there's ya swatch! What a unique shade. Its a pastel mauve-grey which is definitely a 'statement' colour (on my skintone anyway) despite bring pale. I personally love it as it is, but you could easily pair it with a purple lipliner to make it more wearable. 

Now, Kimchi is supposed to have subtle aqua shimmer. On application, it doesn't come through at all. It looks pretty much like a standard matte shade. But rub your lips together, or run your finger lightly over it, and the sparkle shyly comes to say hi. To be honest I would have preferred it had the shimmer been more obvious, but it does become more and more sparkly the longer your wear it. Talking, drinking tea, kissing your cats etc... these things increase the pretty.

As for comfort, it's a straight 10/10. Lightweight, longwearing and not the least bit drying. Sugarpill, you guys smashed it! Well worth the $18.
