NTMS Disney Challenge - Ratigan Picture Tutorial

Hello everyone! I meant to post this sooner, but the internet had other plans. But that is fine because NOW IS THE TIME for a quick photo tutorial!

The look

What I used

Tutorial Time!

I have already primed my eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion and then placed Maybelline Color Tattoo Fierce & Tangy over the inner 3/4 of my lid.

Next pat Detrivore Facade all over Fierce & Tangy and then added Pretty Addictions Peach Punch in the inner 1/4.

Then using NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Purple Velvet place on the outer 1/2 of my lid and made a winged shape.

Next pat Pretty Addictions Hocus Pocus over Purple Velvet and tried to blend as best as you can.

Next place a little bit of Glamour Doll Eyes Electric Chair in the inner corner and then use Glamour Doll Eyes Pistol Pistol to darken up the crease.

Ta da! This is the finished product.

I am quite pleased with how this turned out. I feel that my blending skills are slowly getting better and I really loved how the purple and orange worked together. I also really like the winged shape I created. I really love wearing a bold winged liner and this give you a similar shape but a more dramatic look.

What do you think? Have you ever done a look and totally surprised yourself with how great it turned out?

Would you like a video tutorial as well/in place of photo tutorials?

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 Tattoo Chronicles Vol I

Today I will be reviewing Kat Von D's Tattoo Chronicles Vol. I palette. This palette was released for the holidays last year. It is designed to look like a vintage book. There are a few pages with drawings and some journal entries. Once you get past all of these pages, the palette opens up to show you a full mirror on the left and the shadows on the right. Along with the 12 shadows you also receive three primers and a pair of false eyelashes. The eye shadows pull out to reveal a hidden compartment. Inside the compartment is a sample of the Sinner and Saint scents.

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:

Heavens (Pearlized Vanilla)

<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.
