Hi guys,
Sugar Cosmetics has launched BB Creams today.
Claims:For all the times you’ve struggled to perfect the “no-makeup” makeup look, there is now an answer! Introducing the SUGAR Goddess Of Flawless SPF30+ BB Cream whose ultra-lightweight formula sinks into the skin with the ease of a moisturiser while shielding it against the sun with its in-built SPF30+ protection. With a luxurious matte finish that guarantees an entire day with a sweat-free face, you now have front-row access to beautiful glowing skin! So go ahead – bin your primer, foundation, moisturiser and sunscreen – because, this little beauty does it all and delivers a flawless finish in one simple step.
How to Apply: Start with a pea sized amount. Using your fingertips, dab it onto any problem areas, particularly underneath your eyes. Then slowly begin blending in a circular motion. Once you’ve finished covering up your trouble spots, grab a foundation brush to apply the rest of your product. Evenly distribute the BB cream across your face, making sure to blend well.
Benefits: Blendable, lightweight and mattifying, the SUGAR Goddess Of Flawless SPF30+ BB Cream provides sheer, long-lasting coverage. This product is dermatologically tested & approved and 100% safe for your skin.

It’s made in USA.
It comes in 4 shades:
Latte (Light)
Macchiato (Medium)
Chococcino (Medium Tan)
Americano (Tan)
It comes in black tube packaging, it has a seal when you first open it. The texture is very silicony, it feels like a primer. It blends easily and gives a velvet matte finish, it fills in all your pores and evens out the skin tone covering any redness. It gives light coverage, and it won’t cover your acne scars or dark circles, you would need a concealer for that.
The shades are not enough to cover all skin tones. I am usually in the mid – 2 or 3 but no. 1 Latte works well for me in this. I can even use 2 at times. I am NC37 and there are so many lighter than me who might not find a shade match. Even the darkest shade does not cover the deepest Indian skin tone. All the shades match the medium skin tone well, from yellow to pink undertones.
I like the fact that it fills the pores and gives a matte finish, plus has an SPF30+. It’s perfect for everyday use, this is more like a tinted primer with sunscreen. It works well as a primer underneath your makeup.
Here are the swatches..
L-R: Latte, Macchiato. Chococcino, Americano
This is how the shade Latte looks on me.
It stays put through the day and I didn’t have to powder my face in between, though I used it while I was on my holiday and it wasn’t that humid. But I really like the staying power and velvet matte look it gives.
It is slightly on the expensive side, but you don’t need a lot of product, just a pea sized amount is enough. I would recommend it, especially for oily skin. If you have dry skin, you can use it with a moisturizer underneath.
Do let me know your thoughts. Have you tried the Sugar BB cream yet?
Sugar Blend The Rules Eyeshadow Quads Review, Swatches, Looks
Hi guys,
Sugar Cosmetics just launched 18 eyeshadow quads and two eyeshadow palettes. Each eyeshadow quad is priced at Rs.699/- and the palette at Rs.1599/- (Buy HERE)
GET DISCOUNT USING ‘BTXSUGAR’ on https://in.sugarcosmetics.com
I am talking about the eyeshadow quads here but the palettes also have same shades, most of the quads also have repeated shades. You can pick a quad/palette as per your needs. Palettes are divided into two- day time neutrals/warms/browns and more cool toned/bright/smokey/night time palette.
Coming to the quads:
01 Stronger
02 Believe
03 Escapade
04 Chandelier
05 Irreplacable
06 Disturbia
07 Applause
08 Respect
09 Diamonds
10 Waterfalls
11 Promiscuous
12 Complicated
13 Paparazzi
14 Skyfall
15 Bootylicious
16 Roar
17 Goldeneye
18 Scandalous
I have 04 Chandelier, 05 Irreplaceable, 07 Applause, 08 Respect, 13 Paparazzi, 16 Roar
The packaging is cardboard and super light weight, they do not come with a mirror, just a dual sided sponge tip applicator.
The eyeshadows are super pigmented and buttery, the metallic ones are extremely soft and are best applied with your fingers. Even the matte shades are very pigmented and soft, blend easily and there is no fall out with any shadows.
I am highly impressed with the colours and pigmentation, they have some perfect neutrals to blend in the crease and amazing metallic shades for the lid. All the shades would work well for Indian warm skin tones and most of the shades are also Indian wedding/festive looks appropriate. There are also blues and plums for general wear, night time looks, neutral mattes for office wear, basically a quad for every occasion.
The only problem is repeated shades, I would have preferred launching just palettes or 5-6 quads with different shades. Here you cannot buy 2-3 eyeshadow quad and not have at least one eyeshadow repeated. It doesn’t make sense to have same shades if you want to buy 2-3 quads and like all other shades in the quads. I personally won’t invest in 2 quads even if one eyeshadow is repeated, because I prefer owning different shades. And most of you would think the same.
Best they could do, (or they can still) is to have a separate pan and separate singles to customize and make your own palette. Let the price remain the same.
Each quad is 5g, so each shadow is 1.25g though it looks like a 2g pan width wise, it is not very deep inside. I tried to depot the shadows as I didn’t want to keep the entire eyeshadow quad with repeated shades for 1-2 shades in it. One crumbled and one was dented, so I didn’t. I managed to depot one, and one quad has all same shades, so I am giving away two of the eyeshadow quads on my YouTube channel, join here below.
I created a plum pink smokey eye with Applause and a matte peachy look with 16 Roar using just the two matte shades.
ApplauseTwo Mattes in Roar
Overall I would say I am highly impressed with the quality of the eyeshadows and they are the best available right now for this price, only con would be the combination of shades in the quads. I would recommend getting the daytime palette as it has almost all their best shades and you could make more use of it on an everyday basis.

The formula is super pigmented and matte, you get an intense colour pay off in one swipe. It comes with a sharpener and is easy to sharpen and use, the clean point gives a nice edge to define the lips.
These are not transfer proof, but they stay pretty long. It has stayed on me for 5-6 hours minimum and fades after a full complete meal. It doesn’t vanish completely, but just fades and you can easily reapply it.
12 Baby Houseman is described as Deep Pink. It’s a gorgeous plummy pink, something that will work for all skin tones, even dusky skin tones.
13 Murphy Brown is described as Chocolate Burgundy and it is exactly that. This shade is perfect for fall and again would work for all skin tones.
14 Violet Crawley is described as Smokey Violet. It is a medium violet with grey undertones, not something everyone would like or can carry. This one is also slightly streaky.
Here are the swatches..
L-R: Baby Houseman, Murphy Brown, Violet Crawley
I love 12 and 13, would recommend getting both! 12 Baby Houseman would also work really well with Indian festive looks.
New Sugar Cosmetics Plush Hour Matte Lipsticks Review, Swatches
Hi guys,
Sugar Cosmetics just launched their Plush Hour Matte Lipsticks, I have been trying them out since about 10 days now and here are my thoughts.
Claims: The most stunning of matte lipsticks is here – the Plush Hour Matte Lipstick! This is the stop-everything, drop-everything and grab that lipstick moment that will forever change how your lips feel. The velvety richness of this lipstick is addictive, and of course, SUGAR’s signature intense pigmentation gives you an opaque coverage in just one swipe. It is the most light and long-lasting lipstick that you can get! These heavy-duty lipsticks are made with high-fusion point waxes, that lock the colour on your lips, through every bite, sip and kiss. It comes packed in a light-weight, air-tight container to save the lipstick from drying out. Chuck the lip liner and the hassle of priming your lips, this is all your lipstick wishes in a cute black tube.
How to apply: Holding the lipstick straight, start from one corner of the lower lip, smoothly gliding towards the other corner. For your upper lip, outline your cupid’s bow and fill the colour from one corner of the lip to the other. Blot on a paper towel and repeat.
Benefits: The SUGAR Plush Hour Matte Lipstick is a feather-light, non-drying and non-feathering formula that easily glides in your lips. The super-matte finish is non-transferable and lasts for verylong. One swipe will cover your lips in opaque, intensely pigmented matte finish.

Shades Available: 6
It comes in a small square packaging, different than their usual long and slender packaging for lipsticks. It has a waxy formula and a velvet matte finish, they feel better on the lips than the Matte Lip Crayons. They are super light weight and non drying, you don’t feel like you have lipstick on your lips.
They hardly transfer and stay put for 5-6 hours easily, longer without eating. They feel super comfortable on the lips.
Pigmentation is pretty good and you don’t need more than 2 swipes even for most pigmented lips. I found only one shade Berry Boop slightly patchy, rest all were fine.
I love the shade range they have launched, the neutrals in this range are amazing. They will add more shades in the future, but currently loving all the shades they have!
Shades:
Cherry Jane is a cool toned red
Teaker Bell is a brown burgundy
Minnie Mauve is a medium rose mauve
Powerbuff Girls is a muted red toned brown
Berry Boop is a deep berry
Little Bo Peach is a medium peach
They are very economical and I highly recommend these! There is nothing to not like about them. My absolute favourites are Minnie Mauve, Powerbuff Girls and Little Bo Peach. The cool toned red Cherry Jane is stunning too, and perfect for the current festive season!
Which shade did you like? Let me know in the comments below.
Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick in 11 Greige Rage (Rs.499)
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask (Rs.250)
Kronokare City Detox Face Wash 30ml (Rs.150)
Yuana Premium Hair Oil 50ml (Rs.337)
I had an option to pick one Sugar product from all the Sugar products and shades including the new Creme Lipsticks and the Smudge Me not new 10 shades.
I liked 1-2 shades in particular from the new additions and picked Greige Rage. I quite like this shade and happy with my choice 🙂
Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick Greige Rage
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask looks interesting, I haven’t tried it yet and look forward to trying it out.
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask
Rest two are deluxe sized samples, the Kronokare City Detox Face Wash is a repetition which I am not happy with. Yuana Hair Oil looks decent but it has mineral oil in ingredients which I am not too excited about.
The total value of the products in the bag comes to Rs.1236/-
Overall I would say it’s an ok bag. If you are looking to get a new Sugar product anyway, then you can go for it as you get your product plus three additional things. Otherwise you can skip this month’s bag.
Did you get your October Fab Bag? What did you receive?
New Sugar Cosmetics Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks Review, Swatches
Hi guys,
Sugar Cosmetics is back with a new launch, this time creme lipsticks. The classic old lipstick formula, these ones are super creamy and buttery. More like butter than cream, literally 😀
Claims: If you want the best of both worlds and love to have it all, then the SUGAR Never Say Dry Crème Lipstick is made just for you! Intensely pigmented and long-wearing with a baby-soft finish, its creamy texture effortlessly straddles the line between glossy and matte for an easy, everyday look. The high-colour payoff formula is loaded with Vitamin E that locks in both colour and moisture. A roll-on wonder that saves you from the hassle of prepping, priming and lining your lips – it’s all you need to quickly go from ‘Goddamn’ to ‘Goddess’. Free of mineral oil, lanoline and parabens. Full of vibrant colour that you’re sure to swoon over – try it out, today!
How to Apply: Starting from the center of your upper lip, gently slide the lipstick outward towards the corners while paying attention to fill in the arches carefully. On the lower lip, start at one edge and follow the natural curve. Use a tissue to blot out any excess product. Reapply for a smoother and longer-lasting finish.
Benefits: The SUGAR Never Say Dry Crème Lipstick has a creamy, feather-light texture that spreads evenly on the lips. It glides on smoothly to create full lips with intense colour and rich coverage. Available in 5 vibrant, highly pigmented shades that are sure to become your everyday favourites.

The packaging is exactly like the It’s a Pout Time Vivid Lipsticks. The same black rectangular packaging and the same qty, price is INR 100 less compared to that.
The lipsticks are launched in 5 shades for now, but I am sure they will add more in the future. The formula as I mentioned is super buttery, they melt while applying, so do not swirl up the bullet much, just stay to the tip.
They are not transfer proof, they do transfer a lot but do not vanish from the lips. They are quite pigmented and stay for around 3-4 hours, after which there is fading. But the deeper shades do leave a nice stain behind.
These are very moisturizing and comfortable on the lips, easy to apply, and do not bleed or feather. They are very easy to take off too, unlike matte liquid lipsticks, which are drying and uncomfortable and sometimes peel off the top layer of lips.
L-R: Subtle Island, Dial M for Magenta, The Brown Ultimatum, Revolutionary Rose, Berry Maguire
Subtle Island is described as Muted Brownish Pink. It’s an everyday wear MLBB shade for fair to medium skintones.
Dial M for Magenta is a deep magenta purple. Again a nice purple pink, would work for all skintones.
The Brown Ultimatum is a nude brown, for fair to medium skintones
Revolutionary Rose is a rosy pink, would work for all skintones. My favourite out of the lot.
Berry Maguire is a deep berry red, a nice muted berry, would work for all skintones.
Here are the swatches on me..
I hope you liked the post, do let me know your favourites in the comments below. I believe one shade option would be available in the next Fab Bag 🙂 Guessing for now :p
Have you tried the new Sugar Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks?
GET DISCOUNT USING ‘BTXSUGAR’ on https://in.sugarcosmetics.com
They come in a square black packaging and have a round, flat bullet. These are not matte but not extremely glossy either, a normal semi matte finish.
I love the pigmentation and staying power of these, they do survive meals and don’t go away completely. With touch up you can pretty much wear them all day. And they are very light and comfortable on the lips.
The five new shades launched are:
L-R: The Twilight Rose, Brownton Abbey, Call Me Salmon, True Oxblood, Six Feet Umber
07 The Twilight Rose is a medium neutral rosy pink. Perfect everyday wear shade
08 Brownton Abbey is a medium milk chocolate brown, can be a good MLBB for deep skin tones
09 Better Call Salmon is a peachy nude (pink brown mix) Another MLBB for fair to medium skin tones
10 True Oxblood is a berry with pink undertones, good night time shade.
11 Six Feet Umber is a berry brown mix and my absolute favourite. This shade is universal and will work on all skin tones
Here is a mini swatch video..
My favourites are The Twilight Rose, Brownton Abbey and Six Feet Umber. Also like Better Call Salmon, I guess all 😀
I do recommend these, let me know your favourites in the comments below.

The packaging as you know is matte black with the shade co-ordinated base which makes it easy to find. The formula is super pigmented and matte, you get an intense colour pay off in one swipe. It comes with a sharpener and is easy to sharpen and use, the clean point gives a nice edge to define the lips.
These are not transfer proof, but they stay pretty long, even the lighter colours. It has stayed on me for 5-6 hours minimum and fades a bit even after a full complete lunch with dal and curd. It doesn’t go away, but just fades and you can easily reapply it.
Coming to the shades..
06 Coraline Jones is a warm orange coral
07 Viola is a beautiful mauve nude
08 Jackie Brown is a reddish brown, would work for all skin tones, especially deep skin tones
09 Princess Peach is a true warm peach
10 Cherry Darling is a gorgeous deep cherry red
11 Elle Woods is brown nude, a good everyday shade
I love all the shades, I can’t really choose and definitely recommend these. If I have to pick, I will say Viola, Jackie Brown and Elle Woods.
I would suggest Princess Peach, Elle Woods and Viola for fair to medium skin tones and Jackie Brown, Cherry Darling for deep skin tones. Actually both Coraline Jones and Cherry Darling would work for all.
I hope you liked the video and the swatches, do let me know your favourite shade in the comments below.
It’s a pretty floral print bag and quite thick and sturdy. Goes perfect with the Spring Theme
Products I got:
Sugar As Nude As It Gets SPF 15 Compact- Rs.699/-
Ayorma Radiance Glow Deep Exfoliator 10g
Hedonista Fresh Face Scrub 25ml
Sand For Soapaholics Heavenly Dew Bathing Bar- Rs.275/- for 100g
Sugar’s new launch, the Compact Powder is a part of this month’s bag and you get the full sized compact. It comes in 3 shades and I chose the mid shade 02 Cappuccino. I like the matte black packaging, it’s quite sturdy. It comes with a sponge and a mirror.
Ayorma Exfoliating Scrub looks a little abrasive, I won’t use it for my face. But if you use walnut based scrubs, you will like it.
I loved the Hedonista Fresh Face Scrub with Strawberry and Coconut extracts. Smells refreshing and nice, this one is mild enough to be used on the face.
Sand for Soapaholics soap looks really pretty and again coconut based. Spring theme has all coconut based products, so apt.
Total value of all the products in this month’s bag comes to around Rs.1300/- I would have liked one more product in the bag ideally.
If you want to try the new Sugar Compact, then you can go for this month’s bag.
I have a 10% off discount code for you all. You can use ‘NLM10‘ during checkout to get 10% off on 3, 6 and 12 months’ subscription. It’s valid till 30th April.
