Sugarpill Cold Chemistry Swatches and Look

I did this look a couple of days ago and was very excited to post it, but Friday I went to Stockholm, on short-term notice, for a job interview. It is a makeup-artist job for a company, whose products I really love to work with, so I would so love to get it! (Hold your fingers crossed for me please!)

So you'll get to see my Cold Chemistry swatches and look today instead. :)

The Cold Chemistry Palette is a collaboration Amelia Arsenic, model and designer of the fashion brand A is for arsenic London. It differs from the earlier Sugarpill palettes from the start, with its rectangular shape instead of the typical square adorned with pretty, bright colors. This palette adopts a darker more mysterious aesthetics. 

When you open the palette the difference with the earlier compact eyeshadows continues. This collection consists of four shimmery eyeshadows and dark mysterious shades opposed to the matte, brightly colored ones from the earlier palettes.

From left to right:

Soot & Stars 
Black eyeshadow with a lot of sparkle that mostly look silver but in different light changes to all the colors of the rainbow.
Vegan.

Diamond eyes
White shimmery eyeshadow with a pink sheen (or is it just my imagination?). This is the color for highlighting the inner corners.
Vegan.

Elemental chaos
Deep purple with a blue sheen. This rather gloomy color would definitely be Eeyore's favorite eyeshadow. ;)
Not vegan (contains carmine)

Subterranean
Dark, bottle green with navy blue undertones. I don't think I have any other colors in my eyeshadow collection that are similar to this one so this one is a very interesting addition. :)
Vegan.

All of these eyeshadows are insanely pigmented. Duh! It's Sugarpill! Of course they are! ;) The colors of the palette are perfect to combine with each other to create a dark, harmonious look.

WARNING! Please read this before trying on this look at home! The glitter flakes I've used are extremely sharp and are NOT supposed to be used anywhere near the eyes. Think about what extensive damage those sharp corners can make to your eyes! I made this look for the purpose of this photo shoot; it is not supposed to be worn. If you're not 100% sure of what you're doing DON'T TRY THIS LOOK AT HOME!

The lipstick is another new makeup item that I will write a review on some time in a future not far from now - OCC Lip tar in the shade Batty which is part of the Sci-Fi Lullabies collection that came out this past spring. I love the name that is taken from the character Roy Batty from Blade Runner.
