Sugarpill… We’re ALMOST THERE!

Hi guys! Just so you know I haven’t been fucking around, here is another sneak preview of the Sugarpill site that I SWEAR will launch very, very, very soon! I’m so nervous about finalizing product shots, which is why this is taking so long. I need to just suck it up and launch it… I guess I can always make changes later if I need to.

XOXO
Amy

Boulevard of Broken Cameras & I’m Selling my 6%Dokidoki Stash :*(

My sad little camera has finally breathed its last breath! Kevin laughs at me because none of my cameras endure more than a year of the abuse I put them through. I never leave the house without a camera in my purse, and I take pictures almost every day, so you can imagine how banged up they get! For the past few months I’ve been walking around taking pictures with a broken LED screen, which is pretty embarrassing on its own. But then my camera officially died at the SF Love Fest on Saturday when the lens fell off while we were taking pictures. Classy!

My camera cemetery. Missing lens on right, broken LED screen on bottom, I don’t even remember what is wrong with the other two but I’m sure it’s bad. Jealous?

I’ve been sinking all my money into starting the Sugarpill makeup line, so I can’t really afford a new camera right now. It pains me to do this, but I’m going to sell a bunch of the 6%dokidoki stuff I bought last month that I ended up not using/wearing. I don’t want to use eBay because they take about 12% (ouch!) so if you’re interested in any of the following items below, Paypal the appropriate amount to me at amy @ shrinkle. net. I’m not trying to make a profit, I’m selling everything at the price I paid plus a few bucks for shipping! Everything is brand new and has never been worn. Pass this info on to anyone you think may be interested. :-)

World’s cutest skirt, but I never got to wear it because it’s an XS and I like burritos a lot. Length: 15″, Waist: 22-26″, $100

Sugarpill Cosmetics: Sneak Peek!

Dress: I made it!
Model: Lauren WK

Hi, guess what! For the past four years, I have been working on a top-secret project: Sugarpill Cosmetics! Between running the Shrinkle clothing line–which I’ll continue to do–and living my life, this took a lot longer than I’d anticipated. I didn’t want to go the fast and cheap route by just repackaging the same generic loose pigments that everyone else is selling. I take considerable pride in my work and refuse to settle for anything less than awesome! So, I went about creating a custom line of vibrant, richly-pigmented, velvety-smooth, pressed eye shadows. My goal is to offer you something bold, unique, and brand new–Even if it takes 4 years, ha!

Surprisingly, one of the most difficult tasks was finding the perfect model for the launch of my company. I had a very specific image in mind: petite, angel-faced, platinum-blonde, porcelain-skinned cutie that you just wanna put in your pocket and take home with you! I spent a year scouring the earth (okay, the internet) for this imaginary doll. Then one day I found Lauren WK living right here in San Francisco. I asked her to be my girl, she said yes, and then my life was complete!

I am thrilled beyond words with the way everything turned out. All the hard work and crazy sleepless nights eating buckets of ice cream to stay awake were so worth it! The end result is a product I can truly be proud of. There are still some details I need to work out before the website goes live in a few months, but I am ecstatic and can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working sooo hard on.

I’ll be posting some behind-the-scenes pics from our shoot this weekend!

XOXO
Amy
