Bright Summertime Look 8/6/13

Hi guys!  Today I continued using my Sugarpill eye shadows.  I really love them.  They are super bright and pigmented.  The two things that I am not 100% sold on are #1) Bulletproof isn't as black as I imagined it would be -- It's like a soft black or dark gray when applied.  It's not very true to pan.  I haven't taken the time to really pack it on, though.  I think that if the shade is black, I shouldn't have to pack it on so heavily to really get the shade it's supposed to be.  Maybe because of all the hype associated with the products, I had exceptionally high expectations.  I thought it would be like the other colors where a little product would pack such a punch.  I truly believed it was going to be better than MAC Carbon eye shadow.  From what I have used of it, it's not better.  I'm going to continue to try and work with it before I give it my official thumbs up or down.  However, it is really soft when applied.  MAC Carbon is more on the drier side and isn't soft to apply.  I would prefer it to be both soft and highly pigmented.  #2) Poison Plum tends to show pores or something when applied on the brow bone area.  (See pictures below.)  I don't know if this is normal or what this means yet.  I will have to use it more to check if it consistently does this.  I will say it is very pigmented, as I expected.  But I am just not sure about the way it settles on the skin.  I will be doing an updated review of the products when I get a better feel for how they work.

In the meantime, this is what I used to create today's look...
