I absolutely loved the Feline Fancy collection that Sugarpill released last year, so I was very excited to see they had teamed up with Sanrio Little Twin Stars to create another vegan palette, this time filled with unique pastel colors.
AND for those of you that only come here for the treats, I also made a recipe for these adorable Pink Velvet Cupcakes with Blue Kiwi Frosting, inspired by the eyeshadow palette.
Now back to the makeup. Unlike the Feline Fancy collection, the shades in this palette are exclusive to this collection and will not be released individually. The full Sugarpill Little Twin Stars Makeup Collection, $79, also includes two matte-to-sparkle liquid lip colors and an adorable keepsake makeup bag which is only available with the full collection.
The Sugarpill Little Twin Stars Eyeshadow Palette, $38, comes with six eyeshadows (two foiled, two frosted, one sparkle and one matte). Once again, Sugarpill totally nailed it with their amazing packaging and killer formulas. In playing with them, I learned that the foiled and sparkle shades work best when applied with fingers or with a dampened brush. All of the shades are truly unique and unlike anything else I have.

"Cloud Maker"- Foiled silvery blue
- I love how smooth and pigmented this metallic shadow is! It's such a fresh shade to accent any cool toned eye look, or to place all over the lid for a mod extraterrestrial vibe. At first glance, it reminded me of the shade "Blue Moon" from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Moonchild Glow Kit, which is a frozen blue with a silver reflect. For comparison I swatched them side by side and while they are quite similar in color, "Cloud Maker" is more intensely foiled and richly pigmented.
"Star Ribbon"- Matte aqua- This is a perfect matte soft blueish green which blends out beautifully. It helped to inspire the hue of my blueish kiwi frosting. In comparison to "Kim Chi" from Sugarpill, "Star Ribbon" is a much softer pastel with a hint more green.
"Twinkle, Twinkle"- Foiled astral gold - Gold is truly one of my favorite eyeshadow hues, and "Twinkle, Twinkle" is no exception. It is a unique pale yellow gold which layers nicely over the center of the lid along with richer shades of gold in my collection, as well as in the inner corner of the eyes as a striking pop of color. I also love pairing it with "Buttercupcake" from Sugarpill blended into the crease, which in my opinion is the best matte primary yellow out there. Stay tuned for a breakdown of my favorite golden hued eyeshadows at a later date.
"Dream Dust"- Frosted peachy nude with pink champagne duochrome- I love when a palette has a unique highlight shade in it like this one! I have been using the shade "Wink" from the Sugarpill Feline Fancy Collection as a highlight since I first purchase it last year, and I have since replaced it with the new single shadow version. "Dream Dust" is peachier and less foiled than "Wink", and it's so stunning with literally any makeup look. Even though Sugarpill claims that the shades in this collection will not be released individually, I really hope they make an exception for "Dream Dust", as I love using this shade as a unique multidimensional peachy highlight.
"Sky Candy"- Frosted baby pink- The frost in this shade is fairly subtle, and as such it actually works quite well for blending out as a transition shade, which is great since there is only one matte shade in the palette. I also found that when "Sky Candy" and "Star Ribbon" are merged together, they actually create a really pretty lavender shade! This color doubles as a very pretty blush when dusted all over the cheeks.
"Wish"- Sparkling copper - This is a very "me" shade, and I love it! For the most metallic splendor, I highly recommend applying it with a dampened brush. It looks surprisingly beautiful with the pastel colors in the palette, but I am also really looking forward to pairing it with other neutral eyeshadows.
