BareMinerals READY Eyeshadow 8.0 - The Playlist

Today I am going to do a review of bareMinerals READY 8.0 in The Playlist . When you open the box, you get the compact with the shadows and a small booklet which gives you some information about the product and ideas for a few looks. The packaging is a gold compact with bareMinerals on the front and a sticker on the back with the colors on the back. You also receive a small double ended brush.

Swatches

Top - Pumped, Chart Topper, Max Volume, Louder

Bottom - One Hit Wonder, Most Requested, Remix, Speaker Box
all swatched over bare skin - no primer

Pumped is cocoa brown with gold glitter. Chart Topper is shimmery light gold. Max Volume is blackened navy sheen. Louder is copper. One Hit Wonder is butter cream sheen. Most Requested is cranberry with red or gold glitter. Remix is shimmery yellow gold. Speaker Box is dark grey with gold glitter.

These shadows are very silky and smooth. Similar to the Top Shelf duo just lightly swatching them a little goes a long way and the color pay off is great.

Have you picked up any of the bareMinerals READY eyeshadows? Are you thinking about it? What others would you suggest I pick up?

I really enjoyed swatching these and actually did a quick look with this as soon as I got it home. The colors are nice, all work together, and will work for almost anyone. I like that there are some with glitter, for when you want a little something extra, and some without for a more natural look.

Do you have this palette? What do you think about it?

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.

These colors all swatched beautifully and I would recommend this palette to anyone who is looking for a small palette to make a nice purple smoky eye.

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.

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:

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 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.

My favorite colors in the palette are: Chandler and Wonderland 

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.
