My first video

My first video is up, take a look!

I want to change the way I did my swatches, so that will be different in the next videos. I am going to be -hopefully- filming the rest of the KVD series of swatches this weekend. As soon as the videos are up, so are the blog posts with pictures. I am looking forward to getting all of the stuff I have planned done over the weekend.

Kat Von D Ludwig Palette Review And Swatches

Today is the start of my Kat Von D Reviews/Swatches. I thought I would start with these because I just received her three newest palettes: Poetica, Sinner, and Saint. I am starting this series of reviews with the Ludwig palette.

The outside of the palette is best described as a rubberized matte black plastic. There is a silver rose design on the front with the brands logo in the middle and there is a sticker on the back with the names of the shadows and a list of ingredients. Once you open it you are greeted with a mirror, eight shadows and two sad little double ended brushes. I have only used these brushes once successfully. I find them to be rather useless.

 Lucifer is a dark matte black. Orbi is a metallic army green with gold undertones. Dimebag is a metallic lemon lime green. Tequila is a shimmery pearl color. Clay is a nude with gold glitter. Downtown is a metallic pinky brown. Baroque is a beautiful bronze shimmer. Leather is a deep chocolate brown matte.

I find all of these colors to be wearable, and while they may not necessarily be unique to most, if you are starting out in make up I feel these colors are a great deal. I do not have a large collection as I started getting into make up just recently and I do not think I have any dupes for these colors. I am sure as my collection grows these colors may become less unique, but I think the buttery texture and remembrance of just getting started will keep these close to my heart.

This was my first palette from Kat Von D. I was truly impressed. I was so in love with the beautiful browns and texture that I decided right then and there that I had to get my hands on every single palette I could. As of right now I have all of the palettes except for three: Adora, Memento Mori, and Gypsy. The last two are hard to find, and I have almost every color in the Adora palette so I did not think I should purchase that one. I also felt that the colors in the Adora palette were probably too dark for me to use for most days.

You can pick this palette up for $34 at Sephora.
