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.

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

 

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 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 Poetica Palette

Today I will be reviewing Kat Von D's Poetica palette. The new palettes for fall are completely different from the past design. The first thing you will notice is that they are no longer made of the rubberized plastic, but of metal. There is a filigree design on the front and the logo is purple. The back still has a sticker telling you names and ingredients. If you push the button on the front you can open the palette (modeled after vintage cigarette cases). It opens completely flat which is a little bit of an issue when you try to use the mirror. They have also decided to get rid of the two dinky brushes and give you a small autograph pencil in puro amor.

I look forward to using the palette even though it has three repeat colors. I love all of the browns, and Wonderland is a nice addition to the previous purples in the older palettes.
