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 - Kimberly Palette

Today I will be reviewing Kat Von D's Art Of Elysium Palette in Kimberly. 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 a drawing of eyes on the front in black.

What is so nice about this palette, and probably one of the best  reasons to buy (because some of the colors are not new) 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 pallette's cover, Kat and a teenage girl from named Kimberly took turns drawing the other's portrait. On the left you'll find Evelyn's portrayal of Kat's eye and on the right you'll find Kat's portrayal of Evelyn's eye. 

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

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.

All were swatched over bare skin -no primer or base.

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.
