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 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.

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.

Mini waterproof Autograph Pencil Eyeliner 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.



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

Kat Von D True Love Palette Swatches

Today I will be reviewing Kat Von D's True Love palette. The outside of this palette is the same material as all of the other palettes so. The design on the front of this palette is different than the past three. There is a cross with angel wings, stars, and True Love in script. The Logo is in a metallic purple. The back tells you the names of the colors and ingredients, and you still get the two brushes inside.

This was the second Kat Von D palette I bought. I loved the neutral browns in Ludwig and thought that the purples would go great with my hazel eyes.

As I said before my only issue with the palette is the cream color. It would have been my favorite of the bunch, if only it was not a cream shadow.
