I brought this palette but idk if I'm keeping it. I love this palette, but several shadows stain my eyelids pretty bad. I use a primer and NYX's milk shadow pencil. I removed my makeup last night around 9pm and my eyelids were still orange and pink at 3pm today.

Woah, I just received this item today from the VIB sale at Sephora and was confused because I had two bold pink shades right next to each other. Swatched them, same color.

Looking at the swatches from you ladies and the back of the box I just realized they gave me two Savages and no Fringe, lol. Just my luck. I'm going to call Sephora about it, but just thought that was funny.

Let me just say giving up makeup has been harder than expected. I have been stalking a listing for this palette and have been to the page 3 times but keep exiting out. I have about 20 dollars in ebay bucks that I can put towards it and that will bring the price down to 28.95. I'm trying hard to be focused. I've slipped up with sugar a little but I really want to do this. Words of encouragement would be appreciated because I literally want to just order it and tell the girl mail it to me when Lent is over.

You gave up make-up for Lent? That would be harder than candy! But this palette is perm, so you can get it anytime. You could reward yourself with it when Lent ends. It's not too much longer. Hang in there! Think of the money that you're saving. Do you have any bright shadows from MAC? I tried this Chartruese next to my MAC ones (Bitter, Sour Lemon and another) and they're almost the same. I probably should have skipped this

Wow! I've never had that happen with a palette. Guess there was a problem on the assembly line!

I finally played with my palette. If you love color I definitely recommend it. The only con is that there was a lot of fallout

All my eyeshadows are UD. But I don't have any brights in any palettes that I have. I did just recently turn 29 so I when I got asked what I wanted the palette is one thing I asked for.I'm excited to get it but the waiting is killing me. lmao

LOL! I don't see that as a relevant factor. Sleek ships to the US as does several other Euro companies. As an example: [COLOR=800080]Canada has some of the best OTC medications banned/unapproved in the US.[/COLOR] That does not mean those products are bad or ineffective. Sometimes the FDA goes overboard with its limitations...just sayin...I'll get off my soap box :D Back to the palettes... I bought several Sleek Palettes (in fact probably all that were available at that time) on a trip to Ireland a few years ago,The Acid palette has been available for at least that long. However, [COLOR=800080]on their packaging there are no warning about use in the eye area. [/COLOR]So I never gave it a thought. [COLOR=800080]UD[/COLOR] tends to be pretty [COLOR=800080]spot on with the fact they offer vegan/cruelty free products[/COLOR], so I take their warning to heart.

You are absolutely right. I have a good deal of patients that travel overseas for treatment of certain illnesses. Some have died waiting for the FDA to approve certain meds. Back to makeup! Should I get these even if I have all of sugarpill's palettes ?

I caved and ordered the Electric palette with my 15% off. I tried to talk myself out of it by telling myself I had enough brights, but I love bright colors! Now I have to restrict myself when it comes to Playland. I have tons of lipstick so I really shouldn't buy much anyhow.

I'm going to try not to buy too much from playland. I received my palette yesterday and the colors are crazy pigmented. Can't wait to use it when I go to imats.

I got Electric last week. I'm going to do swatches tonight and put up a full review post tomorrow but my quick take:

Not as easy to blend as Sugarpill shadows.
The colors are more unique than they look in the pan.
Still don't like the palette design but the mirror at least stays where you put it.

Sorry for the glasses-on photos - it's been a weird week and I've been rushed every time I step out of the house.


(I used: Revolt on the lid over an Inglot Gel liner (silver) used as a base, Jilted as the crease-to-brow transition color, Urban in the crease, Fringe on the outer V, Freak on the inner corner.)

Mine is coming to me on Friday. After seeing the look that Phyrra did with it I am super stoked! Although I'm a little worried about going blind when using the non-approved colors around the eye area. But according to UD, they're approved in other places of the world, right? So I guess it won't be such a risk.
