Morphe x Kathleenlights eyeshadow palette


I can upload this now because this extremely limited edition palette is back in stock on Morphe's website! It's retailed at $14.99, and you can get 10% off using "kathleenlights" code which was what I did. It's not much, but it's better than nothing:D Below is my video review, swatches, and tutorial using this palette. I also included information from the Morphe website regarding this palette as well as close up swatches from my camera. I think the palette is great for it's price and for how much you are getting. The shades might be a bit odd or off depending on what you normally wear, but I can see many different and interesting looks being created using this palette. It's sleek and simple. It's fine for me that it doesn't have a mirror because price will go up if a mirror is included. I really don't need a mirror in every single palette. It's helpful, but it's not a necessity. Only three shades need some extra work and those three are all matte shades. They are not chalky but lack of pigmentations when compared to the rest of the shades in this palette. They are not horrible though. I had no problem blending these shadows, and they blend nicely together. I didn't notice much fall out since I tapped my brush off after dipping into each shade. However, when I was swatching them, two shades were a bit more softer and "crumblier"than the rest. The super odd sparkly green shade is extremely foiled, and I swatched it without any base/primer. It's pretty awesome. I like that mustard yellow brown weird shade because you don't see this shade everyday. I love that Kathleen threw in some of these unique shades into this palette since they are some of her favorite colors in general. Don't hold back. It's your palette, girl, so you do you! I love this palette, and I actually leave it out on my vanity along with the Bubzbeauty x BH cosmetics palette. I got these two palettes back to back, and I really love them both. They are also both very affordable! Will I be purchasing more Morphe shadows? I'm not really sure because I have tons of shadows and palettes. I think I'm pretty good just to have this one palette from Morphe because after all, Kathleen did include some of her all time favorite Morphe shadows in this palette. I feel like this is pretty well rounded and represents Morphe as a makeup brand. My only encounter with Morphe was some brushes I purchased from IMATS, and they are decent. Other than that, I'm not super crazy about this brand, but it's a really affordable brand for new makeup artists or students trying to build their kits. I would recommend this palette if you love Kathleen Lights, or you love these types of shades. You can still create everyday neutral looks using most of these shades, so don't get scared by that one shiny green color or the poopy brown color. I think it's a good palette, and that's all I'm going to say.

With colors as vivid and imaginative as Kathleen herself, this collaboration is a perfect reflection of the spirited YouTuber. It's easy to create a fun, adventurous look with this 15 color mix of mattes and shimmers. This palette is anything but ordinary. #MorpheXKathleenLights
