Sugarpill Chromalust Loose Eyeshadow - Olivia

In my IMATS London 2014 haul I managed to get my hands on Olivia, a new, but limited edition Chromalust loose eyeshadow shade launched at the show and available in limited quantities (now sold out) online.

The Sugarpill range includes colour intense pressed eye shadows and loose powders that are vegan and cruelty free designed by Amy, known as Shrinkle (below, right), Sugarpill's founder.

Olivia is a golden olive green. 

I own more Sugarpill loose powders and I absolutely love the sparkling, metallic pigment and soft texture.

A little goes a long way and for best results and last, I always use them, as with all my eye shadows, with an eye primer base.

Sugarpill products can be ordered from the US but you will have to pay a custom charge. 

I have previously ordered mine from Cocktail Cosmetics and they can also be purchased from Love Make Up.

My IMATS Experience - London 2014

IMATS has to be the biggest international make up show of the year!

I attended on the Saturday 28th July 2014 and arrived before midday when it was less busy than the afternoon. 

The ultimate purpose of the event is for trade and it hosts professional makeup artists sharing their skills and tips. Although I am a make up fanatic and not a pro make up artist, I absolutely loved seeing the amazingly talented art unfolding before my eyes. 

Tickets for the events are expensive so I really wanted to make the most out of the day (which ended up being practically all day!).
I planned my wish list according to the exhibitor listing in advance and I made time to watch makeup artists, talk with the smaller brands, sit in on the shows and spot the bloggers too!

I picked up quite a bit of product at trade prices that I have found hard to get hold of in the UK.

I just love how colourful everything looked! Make up heaven for anyone crazy about products.

Sugarpill launched a Olivia on the day, a new loose eyeshadow. See swatch here
