Review on Hot Sugar Cosmetic Pigmented Eyeshadow by Kelly Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A fun case especially for eyeshadow lovers

What a fun makeup case! I was so glad that the blister pack is not a permanent part of the makeup kit. . I don't like it when it's part of what you have to "keep on". Makeup items that I suspected didn't have a lid were packaged with lids. If you're using this for travel it would make sense to keep that extra bubble so things don't move, but I didn't keep it. When the case is removed and left flat, it also offers plenty of extra space for other makeup or hair accessories. The included cosmetics fit in the top compartment! The little mirrored case is cute in that you can put your favorite square makeup element inside (I apply blush, but eyeshadow or other square elements will work too) without the clear lid on the element. I assume one of the applicators should also work, but it doesn't. Cons: As an allergy sufferer, I took a huge risk buying this without knowing the ingredients in advance. Luckily they are included in the suitcase. I tried to take a picture but my camera isn't sharp enough for such a long list. Another negative for me is that square containers are easier to open. Also, the fabric lining is "spun" (think reusable budget tote bags), which is my least favorite type of fabric. The set is mainly suitable for full face makeup (except for some extras that people can use, such as concealer). The only thing I'm clearly missing is mascara. That being said, I think this set is really eyeshadow focused, so I would mainly recommend it to people who like to play with different eyeshadow combinations. In the attached sample photo only eye shadow!

Pros
  • Not just useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Not sure
