Neon Love
I used the LA Splash stuff last time, so this is my chance to use my new Sugarpill Elektrocutes.
I'll be the first to admit that this is my first time working with a glitter base, or with eyeshadow with this much sparkle in them. (I literally bought a glitter base so that I could use these colors, at the recommendation of BiohazardousBeauty.) On that note, take the next couple comments with quite a few grains of salt.
The truth is, I wasn't super happy with the two Elektrocutes I tried, Hi-Viz and Sparkage. Even with a glitter base, the sparkle fell out pretty fast. Also, I think the focus is so much on the sparkle that there isn't enough attention payed to the eyeshadow itself - it didn't go on super pigmented. I pulled out the Urban Decay Full Spectrum to shore things up (because you straight-up can't blend neon colors), but I ended up having to go over the Sugarpill colors because of the weak payoff.
I'm hoping that as I get more used to using glitter bases and sparkly eyeshadows, the Elektrocutes will endear themselves to me in actual use too, instead of just in theory. If not, I still have a massive and amazing Sugarpill collection to fall back on, which contains some of my all-time favorite eyeshadows (ex. Magpie, Lumi) and arguably my all-time favorite palette, Cold Chemistry.
