Mini update + Le Gothique interview

Hey guys! So sorry I’ve allowed my blog to turn into a ghost town! The launch of Sugarpill went amaaaazingly and has pretty much consumed my entire life for the past three weeks. I can’t even remember the last time I left the house, and I’m slowly turning into an antisocial, pale, beady-eyed hermit. I’ll try to get caught up on picture posts soon, but in the meantime, check out this interview I just did for Le Gothique!

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

Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary Fashion Show at Royal/T November 14

Last week, I had the great privilege of participating in Sanrio’s Hello Kitty 35th anniversary fashion show at Royal/T. Thirteen designers including myself each made a Hello Kitty-inspired piece for the fashion show. I also had the honor of designing a new dress for the Hello Kitty mascot! Like that wasn’t enough to make my head spin, my makeup line, Sugarpill, was the official brand the makeup artists used on the models. All this madness led up to what was EASILY the best night of my life!! If you know me, you are probably rolling your eyes and saying “You ALWAYS say it’s the best night of your life!” but for real this time!

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
