Kat Von D Ladybird True Romance Eyeshadow Palette Review

Kat Von is one of my favorite brands, and I was super excited to get this new completely matte eyeshadow palette!

I swatched the shadows on bare skin and they were pretty pigmented and smooth. The purple is the shade that was less pigmented than the other but I think a good primer would do the trick. The brown pencil is super creamy and very pigmented. Overall this palette is awesome and I love the shade range. It's very similar to the Stila In the Know eyeshadow palette, but the Kat Von D is a few dollars cheaper and is similar quality. Watch my video below for more:

Clarins Poudre Multi-Eclat Mineral Loose Powder Review & Swatches

I had many high hopes for this powder, let's see what let me down.

Okay now here's what it looks like on my face, hopefully you can see the shimmers (Click on the picture to enlarge it):

A few things...The powder itself feels very silky and luxurious. Offers very little coverage, mostly meant to set your foundation. The packaging is a little bulky and I don't think it would travel well. Then we get to how this powder is jam packed with shimmer. I mean I'm all for shimmer, but not all over my face. If this came in a matte formula I would be all over it, but for now it's going to hide in my collection where I keep the products I don't use...So disappointing because Clarins and I have been besties for awhile now. The powder also has a light scent to it as most of their products do.

Disney Jasmine Storylook Eyeshadow Palette Vol. 2 (Sephora) Review

I am so excited to bring you this review! Let's get started :)

Here are the shadows in 2 different lighting settings:

The colors are just gorgeous and go perfectly with the Jasmine/Aladdin theme. Here are more pics of the shadows and swatches:

A cool feature about this palette is that you can take the shadows out and use the palette for storage.

So if I had to give this palette a grade I would give it an A all the way. The shadows are super pigmented and lovely to work with, the palette itself is beautiful, the blush and bronzer are pigmented and great for many skin tones, and overall it's just awesome. The blush is a little on the darker side for lighter skin types I think, not that you can't use it but you would need to use a light hand.

Most of the shades are shimmery, but I love shimmer so that works for me of course. They did include a mate highlight color, Ali Abawa, which is a definite plus so I don't have to get out another palette for that purpose. The only color in the palette I could say was a little sheer than the other shades is Blue Oasis, the light shimmery blue. It's not bad, but compared to the crazy pigmentation of the other shadows it's not as opaque. I love the mix of colors, especially the bright blues and warm orange reds. Rajah and Arabian Desert are two stand outs for sure, I would love to do a sunset eye with them.

It's $55 at Sephora. Right now they only have it online but it will be sold in stores soon.

MAC Archie's Girls- Girl Next Door Lipstick Betty Collection Review

I love the Archie's Girls collection, the packaging is just so adorable. I was only able to get my hands on this lipstick, girls be tripping over this collection! It's in a pretty light pink color. I would have preferred to also have the matte red from the Veronica collection but alas it was not meant to be.

So as you can see the color isn't opaque, which is expected with a Lustre finish. It looks kind of scary in the picture, and to be honest I was worried that the color would wash me out, but it actually looks quite nice on me. It does not last at all though, so you need to keep this one with you during the day. Overall I like it but if it weren't for the cute packaging I'm not sure if I would have purchased it.
