THE VERDICT:

Most drugstore eyeshadow palettes don't go beyond five colors plus feature shades that closely resemble each other or are either metallic or matte, thus not inducing creativity at all. If you find one beyond five, their prices either go through the roof or quality is 'okay'. Pink Sugar exactly had the same sentiments as mine, thus they released a game changer called Eye Candy, an eyeshadow palette collection with a good mix of complementing colors and textures, and great quality; it will be your go- to eyeshadow anytime and anywhere!

PINK SUGAR EYE CANDY EYE SHADOW PALETTE IN DETAIL

This eyeshadow collection features a wide range of shades assorted in convenient palettes; each palette combines various textures and shades for limitless eye makeup looks. Eye Candy comes in two color combinations: EC-01 (Pinks, Blues, Grays) and EC-02 (Browns, Peaches, Purples).

The products come in fun, catchy packaging; they don't look drugstore to me at all!

Wait 'til you get to the actual palettes...

Voila! The embossed zigzag print gave the sleek, black design a unique touch, the palette feels sturdy (not sure though if the shadows can survive a fall and I don't wanna try!), and it's sleek and will fit snuggly even in your jeans' pockets! These palettes actually remind me of Bobbi Brown's Holiday Edition palettes.

Here's EC-01; It's a cool- toned palette with a mix of Blue, Pink, and Gray.

Here's EC-02; it's a warm-toned palette with Brown, Peach, and Purple.

For the sake of suggestion, if you're Fair, go for EC-01; if you're Medium or Dark, go for EC-02. The nice thing about the palettes is they look nice on any skin tone so you can switch from one palette to the other anytime you want to and regardless of skin tone.

I noticed that these palettes dupe some popular MAC eyeshadow shades such as Carbon, Woodwinked, Amberlights, Blacktied, Ricepaper, Expensive Pink, Naked Lunch, and Romp to name a few.

EC-01 Shades:

1- Pale Pink (matte)
2- Powder Beige (matte)
3- Powder Pink (matte)
4- Icy Champagne (frost)
5- Muted Beige (frost; looks like Naked Lunch)
6- Midtone beige (frost)
7- Sea Blue (metallic)
8- Peacock Blue (semi-matte)
9- Gunmetal Gray (semi-matte; looks like Blacktied)
10- Black (matte; looks like Carbon)

 EC-02 Shades:

1- Creamy white (frost)
2- Champagne (frost)
3- Pale Gold (frost)
4- Peach Pink (metallic; looks like Expensive Pink)
5- Cork Brown (matte; looks like Romp)
6- Copper orange (frost; looks like Amberlights)
7- Bronze Brown (frost; looks like Woodwinked)
8- medium Brown (matte)
9- Purple Pink (semi-matte)
10- Black (matte; looks like Carbon)

Between the two palettes, I prefer EC-02 more because of the Woodwinked dupe; EC-02 is a great palette and I'm loving in particular the Powder Pink shade, but I wish they can change the Sea Blue shade into another shade of Blue or a forest green (MAC Humid would be a great reference).

The eyeshadows have medium to heavy pigmentation, smooth, yield minimal fallout, and are easy to blend; I am amazed at the mattes in particular because they're quite easy to work with; matte eyeshadows can be such a pain to deal with, but thank God for Pink Sugar. The eyeshadows stay on better if used with an eye primer.

If you're a straightforward gal who wants an all-in-one eyeshadow palette or at least one that contains almost everything you need, grab Pink Sugar Eye Candy because it's designed to be that way, plus quality is good, range of shades and textures is good, the unusual pops of color in the palettes encourage you to get creative with your makeup looks or to at least try something new every day, and it's really affordable: 699php for 10 shades so that's like a little over P69.00 only per shade!
