Kawaii Cosmetics: SUGAR
I cama little late to the SUGAR brand of cosmetics. And now sadly I believe that it has bitten the dust like so many kawaii cosmetics lines (Pinkie Swear, Rocket City, Bloom (still available in Australia), Girlactik, Tony & Tina, Hard Candy (bought out by Walmart and soon to debut) and Sephora Piiink to name a few). You can still find it available at several websites and I suggest if you like the brand you buy it up because it will disappear like my old fave Dessert Beauty.
Here’s what I got:
Sugar Zip Kits – really cool little metal tins that zip with a quad eyeshadow set, lipgloss (sugar flavored) and applicator. You can take the stuff out of the plastic insert and have more room for other mini makeup too. It may seem like a teeny-bopper item but the shadows are great and the lipgloss is primo. It’s not sticky, tastes great and actually stays on fairly well. The shadows are pearly and highly pigmented and go on super silky.
Another kit in a tin, these are perfect shadows for everyday wear. These are mostly matte and a couple of shimmers and some glitters too. If you think, oh well I can’t wear glittery shades in the daytime – think again! I wear them all the time, it adds a magical dimension to your makeup like fairy dust!
Lip habit is a really nice lipstick on one end and a sugary gloss on the other. And duh – how kawaii is this? It’s so cute I want to take a bit out of the clear pink case.
The kaleidoscope kit comes with shadows, lip glosses, and applicators all in a portable book style case. Too cute. Nice quality, fun but workable shades.
Eye candy shadow duos are fresh and funky and shimmery sweet.
Here are some places where you can get your SUGAR rush:

These kits are adorable – it’s too bad that the company is disappearing. I am thrilled to see that Hard Candy is coming back at Wal-Mart!

I ordered the Lip Habit after reading your review. You’re right, Sugar is hard to find. Most merchants don’t seem to be replacing their inventory and a lot of the products are on sale (1/2 price on the remaining 5 items at Sephora).

glamagrrl – I am very excited about Hard Candy coming back too – I had always adored their products. I still have some brand new items that I may post at some point. Have you used their products before?
It is too bad about this boutique brands going out of business. They were fun tho’.

kawaiikrazy – isn’t lip habit awesome? I noticed the sale on Sephora too and there were a couple of other places that had some items pretty cheap too. Best to get it while we still can!

I just noticed that you had replied to me. Yes, I had Hard Candy years ago and then had forgotten about it until you reminded me. I’ll get it again when it’s at Wal-Mart (the price should be right). I hope they don’t ruin it.

glamagrrl – I hope they don’t ruin it too – I so loved their products for many years. I remember collecting the little rings that used to be on the nail polishes!

I collected the rings on the nail polish, too! I’d love it if they did really cool packaging like that again when they get to Wal-Mart.
