Kat Von D Tattoo Chronicles Candelabara Edition

Today I will be reviewing Kat Von D's Tattoo Chronicles Candelabra Edition. This palette was released for the holidays. It is designed to look like a book, just like the first Tattoo Chronicles. This time it is velvet with a red foil skull chandelier. Inside are a few pages of drawing and journal entries. After those the palette opens up to a full size mirror on one side and all the shadows on the other. This time instead of all the primers you receive a full size Sin-Full Lash Mascara in Puro Amor.

Sin-Full Lash Mascara in Puro Amor

My favorite colors in the palette are: Blackhearts, WTF, and Evil Monkey.

Six of these shades can be found in other palettes. That means that half of this palette is new and half is old. The new colors are nice but not spectacular. The shadows are smooth and pigmented, but the shades just are not as amazing as they could be. Half I already own, and out of the new ones, I am not sure how much use they will actually get. The shadows that are new, are either really dark or really light. As of right now, I would say skip this palette. I just can't get excited about this one.

You can pick this up for $49 at Sephora.

Kat Von D Art Of Elysium - Evelyn Palette

Today I will be reviewing Kat Von D's Art Of Elysium Palette in Evelyn. This palette is the same size as the small palette that you could have received as a 500 points perk at Sephora. The palette is white rubberized plastic like most of the other palettes. It has red flowers on the front.

What is so nice about this palette, and probably the only real reason to buy (because every single color is a repeat) is because of this:

Kat Von D designed this gorgeous palette in collaboration with the Art of Elysium, a charity that provides creative inspiration to children battling serious medical conditions. For the palette's cover, Kat and a teenage girl from named Evelyn created this unique floral design. In the center you'll find Evelyn's flower with the surrounding artwork by Kat. 

Ten percent of the purchase of this palette will benefit The Art of Elysium programs.

My favorite color in the palette is: Tijuana -love that glitter

All of the colors in this palette are winners. They are perfect for a neutral eye and I could see this being really nice to travel with. Much more travel friendly than the UD Naked palette. Also because there are only four shadows in this, it would make doing makeup on vacation a snap because they all go together and there are no unnecessary colors to try to work with.

You can pick this palette up for $20 at Sephora.

Kat Von D Saint Palette

Today I will be reviewing Kat Von D's Saint palette. This palette is also the new style. The design on the front is a new version of the roses from the Ludwig and Beethoven palettes. The logo on the front is white. This palette also comes with the autograph liner instead of the brushes.

 The colors in the palette are:

<3 (Soft Pink With Sparkle)

Downtown (Pearlized Champagne) - as seen in Ludwig

Sunny (Pearlized Gold)

Pray for Me (Pearlized Taupe)

Bookworm (Pearlized Brown)

Caravaggio (Dark Matte Brown)

Heavens is a pearly creamy white. Enjoy the Silence is the color of a manila folder if it was shimmery. <3 is a matte dusty nude pink with sparkle. Downtown is a pearly copper. Sunny is pearly bronze. Pray for me is pearly brass colored. Bookworm is a matte chocolate brown with gold glitter. Caravaggio is a black and brown matte.

My favorite colors in the palette are: <3, Sunny, and Bookworm.

Overall this is probably going to become my favorite Kat Von D palette. I love every single color and there is only one repeat, which is one that I love and goes well with all the colors. I would advise people to watch out for the fallout from <3. It has huge chunks of glitter which seem to fall all over the place if you are not careful. The glitter also ended up disappearing from my eyes and I was left a beautiful pink which is the best part of this shadow.

You can pick this palette up for $35 at Sephora.

Kat Von D Sinner Palette

Today I will be reviewing Kat Von D's Sinner palette. This palette is also the new style. The design on the front is a mix of the filigree from the Poetica palette and the skull and lightning bolt design from the Metal Orchestra palette. The logo on the front is black. This palette also comes with the autograph liner instead of the brushes.

My favorite colors in the palette are: Ace of Spades, Violator and Dorian Gray

A few of these colors are in other palettes, like lucifer which is in practically every palette. Ace of Spades and Holy Bible are also found in the Adora palette (which I do not own). I think the new colors in this palette are nice, and would help anyone create a great smoky eye for a night out.

You can pick up this palette for $35 at Sephora.

Kat Von D Angeles Palette

Today I will be reviewing Kat Von D's Angeles palette. The outside of this palette is the same material as all of the other palettes; the only difference is the palette is white this time instead of black. The design on the front is a bunch of decorative crosses. The Logo is in a metallic teal. The back tells you the names of the colors and ingredients, and you still get the two brushes inside.

I do not know how often I will use the blues in the palette as I am not sure if they will look good with my skin tone and eye color. I will have to play around with them and see how I can fit them into my range of colors.

You can pick this palette up for $15 at Sephora.
