Obsessed with Sugar & Spice

If any of you, my lovely readers, are collegiates, y'all know that finals are in full swing.  This is honestly the first minute I have had to sit down and pay some attention to The Skinny.  But fret not! I'm here, I'm queer, and y'all are used to it!  But, I'm back and I should remain back.

So, on Black Friday, I bought the Sugar & Spice palette at Ulta because I missed the Lorac Vintage Vixen and Sultry Starlet sale-- I should have bought online like everyone else!!! But anyway, I picked up the last Sugar & Spice and have never been happier.

So, it's a larger palette with 12 shadows in it-- each are about half the size of a typical Too Faced Highlighter shadow.  It came in this glittery gold makeup bag and a deluxe Better Than Sex mascara sample.  

 So, as usual... let's look at some swatches.  Each cluster of swatches goes across the rows-- top to bottom.  The colors are called Coconut Cream, Nutmeg, Biscotti, Sugared Violet, Champagne Truffle, Pink Frosting, Cinnamon Sugar, Chocolate Cake, Meringue, Clove, Bon Bon, and Black Licorice.

Coconut Cream-- a warm cream color with a matte finish.

Nutmeg-- a warm rose gold with a warm shimmer finish.

Biscotti-- a warm chocolate pudding color with a shimmer finish.

Sugared Violet-- a very deep (almost black) purple with pink and silver glitter.  This has a bit of a fallout problem, but not nearly as much as Candied Violet from the Chocolate Bar palette.

Champagne Truffle-- a warm cream color with a hint of pink and a shimmer finish.  However, this is slightly different than the shadow of the same name in the Chocolate Bar palette because it lacks the opalescent pink sheen.

Pink Frosting-- a light baby pink color with cool undertones and a shimmer finish.

Cinnamon Sugar-- a cool brown with cool bronze undertones and a gold shimmer finish.

Chocolate Cake-- a warm pudding brown with a matte finish.

Meringue-- a gentle pinkish cream color with a matte finish.  It is essentially the same as Champagne Truffle, but matte instead of shimmer.

Clove-- a cool purplish taupe with a matte finish.

Bon Bon-- a cool purplish slate grey with a silver shimmer finish.

Black Licorice-- a flat black with forest green undertones and a matte finish

And then we have the obligatory step by step looks that Too Faced always so kindly supplies.  

Now, my favorite shades out of the whole palette are Nutmeg, Pink Frosting, and Champagne Truffle.  This palette is super versatile-- you can do very gentle, natural looks or dramatic smoky eyes, and everything in between.  Most of the shades are very buttery and Sugared Violet is really the only one that has any type of fallout problem with it.  All of the shades are very buildable and look awesome applied dry or wet!

However, this is a holiday palette, so you pretty much have to get it or it's gone.  If you have a chance to get your hands on one of these, I would certainly jump to do so because after the holiday... they aren't coming back until the new holiday palette releases next year.

This is one of my favorite looks that you can do with the palette.  Champagne Truffle from lash line to brow bone, Nutmeg on the lid, Biscotti in the crease, and then Cinnamon Sugar to define the crease, and Pink Frosting to highlight the corners of the eyes.  The lipstick shade is Hikari's "Cabernet."
