Rune Boutique featuring 6%DOKIDOKI and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, The Night We Met Die Antwoord!

Rune Boutique was the ultimate mega kawaii collaboration of the universe. We were super lucky to have Sugarpill sponsor and do makeup for this party of epically adorable proportions, which featured a 6%DOKIDOKI fashion show, Japanese pop superstar Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s first U.S. performance, an exhibition of art by Rune Naito, and a totally random run-in with Die Antwoord!

Kyary and me

The night before the show, we had a staff dinner with 6%DOKIDOKI at Native Foods. Me, Yuka, Vani, Yume, Sebastian and Michelle.

Sweet Streets 3 with Spank! x Chubby Bunny Fashion Show and Makeup by Sugarpill!

One of my favorite things about doing Sugarpill is getting to work with super rad artists/designers in a quest to take over the world with color and cuteness. Caro invited us to take part in another installment of Sweet Streets, this time featuring a fashion show by Spank! and Chubby Bunny, with makeup by Sugarpill. This was Spank!’s very first fashion event in America, and the theme was “American 80s in Japan.” Funnnn!!

Sugarpill Beautylish Boutique Launch!

Just when you thought Beautylish couldn’t possibly get any radder, we are super excited to announce the launch of Beautylish Boutique! Each month, Beautylish will be introducing a new brand to their site… starting with Sugarpill! :-O

You’re probably all like “Oh whatever, I can just buy it directly from your site.” But wait! Remember @#$%!, the shiny red limited edition eyeshadow we sold at IMATS? A lot of people were sad that they missed out. Well guess who has the rest of them?

Fuck yeah @#$%!

And there’s more! Beautylish also has the exclusive on FIVE new Sugarpill eyelashes that we haven’t even released on our own site yet! Because we like them better than we like ourselves. Just kidding… but close.

So head on over to Beautylish and sign up for the the wait list to be notified when it’s time to shop!

Oh and holy shit, we were mentioned on Tech Crunch!

XOXO
Amy

Beautylish Interview by Jazziebabycakes! Behind the Brand: Amy Doan of Sugarpill

Sup guys! My dear friend Jazziebabycakes recently interviewed me for Beautylish’s “Behind the Brand.”

Click to read and watch super embarrassing footage of me and Amelia Dinmore

I’m so proud of Jazzie because I know that interviewing me is a nightmare and a half! I am soooo long overdue for an updated photo, but I hate posing for “professional” pics because I’m awkward. Poor Jasmine hassled me to send photos for weeks. I didn’t have any, so I finally just sent over this one of myself taken 23948732 years ago, along with a bunch of Sugarpill model extraordinaire Amelia Dinmore. Whatever, people can’t seem to tell us apart anyway hahaha. I once went to a party where I got asked four separate times if I was Amelia. We also receive each others’ fan mail. I secretly love it because Amelia is a babe and I’m a creep.

Text convo between me and Amelia:

Me: Girl just asked if I was on the cover of Tattoo Life. I’m gonna bask in your glory and say yes
Amelia: You have my full permission to do so. Oh yeah and you’re naked, just lettin ya know.
Me: Yeah I just looked up the picture and I’m so thrilled to have such a tiny waist! All that McDonald’s finally paid off

Warning: the interview includes painfully dorky behind-the-scenes video footage of our shoot at Beautylish headquarters in L.A. last week. I have no idea how I have any friends.

Special thanks to Abby Greydanus for the fabulous latex!

XOXO
Amy

Interview in xoJane by Gala Darling

First, I’d like to congratulate my friend Gala on scoring the sweet gig as xoJane’s newest Beauty Editor! I’m so proud of you, Gala! What a dream come true. I wasn’t old (or cool) enough to read Sassy, but Jane was my most favoritest magazine ever. I never missed a single issue since their very first with Drew Barrymore on the cover. I was sad when they went out of business, and am so happy that Jane Pratt carried on with her awesomeness via the interwebz. Now with Gala onboard, shit’s gonna get crazy!

Secondly, I’d like to congratulate Little Brother, whose butt made a debut on xoJane today. Click below for the full interview, cat butt, and eyeball pictures galore. Thanks Gala!!

Click on my FANTASTIC FACE, dammit

XOXO
Amy

The Beauty Social 2011 by Beautylish – Long Overdue Recap

Last winter, our friends at Beautylish invited Sugarpill to take part in their first annual Beauty Social event. Having just survived our very first IMATS – which can best be described as 8,000 people trying not to die in a stampede as they sprint to their favorite makeup booths – we were scared.

As much as we love IMATS, we were pleased that the Beauty Social was nothing like it.

Yume, me and Mynxii repping Sugarpill!

Located in the Loews Santa Monica Beach hotel with an oceanfront view, it felt more like a cocktail party for makeup lovers. The crowd was much smaller, so we actually got to hang out with and get to know people we normally speed walk past at IMATS. There were only about 10-20 brands present, and we each had our own pre-built hot pink booth. So no construction, assembly, or van rental required, yay! Instead of doing sales, each booth at the Beauty Social offered free demos and makeovers, while guest speakers and Youtube beauty gurus did their thing onstage. Overall, it was a really fun opportunity to interact with you guys!

Cute Sabi was one of the guest speakers. I LOVE Britney Spears, don’t hate!
