Kat Von D Pastel Goth Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette

            I was skeptical about getting this limited edition new Kat Von D Pastel Goth eyeshadow palette because I had bad experience with the matte shadows from the Serpentina palette. However, I was wrong, and I ended up loving this palette. It retails for $38 which is a great price for 8 all matte eyeshadows. I just went on the Sephora website which was where I purchased mine, and I couldn't find this anymore. It's sold out on katvondbeauty.com as well. Not sure if it's already sold out or they might bring it back later in the Spring. I think this is an awesome palette, and it should be permanent. I was actually going to get a backup of this, but looks like it's too late. I apologize for uploading this now when the palette is gone, but let's hope that this will reappear in a later time! 

           This is a nice sturdy cardboard packaging palette much like most of the ones Kat came out with. I love this kind of packaging because it's environmental friendly and compact. There is a mirror inside which is on the narrow side. Not that much helpful but it's there. I can do without the mirror, but that's just me. The design is very Kat like and she always puts her artwork in her makeup line, in case you can't tell. I do appreciate that she came out with a very unique eyeshadow palette. Yes, we see tons and tons of colorful eyeshadow palettes, and they are mostly very vibrant and vivid. Some pack with lots of intensities, and some lackluster. This is a different take on color shadows because these are all pastel shades. A pastel color is pretty much a toned down/watered down/softer version of a color. Sometimes you mix a color with some white base to get that pastel color. These are true to that sense. Each and every color is soft and smooth, but not lack in pigmentation. I was worried that these colors being all matte would be too sheer or chalky. The purple matte shades in previous Kat's palettes were all dry, patchy, and not pigmented. I thought these would be the same, but not so. The two purple shades in this palette are just as smooth as the rest. Most people love the shade "Clementine", and so do I. Honestly, I love all the shades in this palette. I think you can create so many different looks with just this one palette, and still look flattering because these are not the typical "in-your-face" colors. I highly recommend this palette to everyone who loves color, who wants to try color shadows but afraid to, and everyone who loves makeup in general. It's an awesome palette with great colors and good price as well as excellent performance. I had no problem blending and applying these shadows. I didn't experience any fallout. It's super easy to work with, and pretty much foolproof in my opinion. I really wish they can bring back this palette and make it permanent. It's a well rounded eyeshadow palette, and especially for the Spring.

Kat Von D Project Chimp Everlasting Liquid Lipstick

I've already reviewed KVD's everlasting liquid lipsticks before, so I'm not going in depth about this one since the formula is the same. This is a new and limited edition color called Project Chimp. 20% of each sale goes to the charity of helping retired/older chimps back to nature/sanctuary. This color is a warm red with some brown in it which I guess you can call it a warm brick red. It's very flattering and it's pretty much a universal red for everyone. It's also quite perfect for the Fall and the holidays that are coming up:) This is also Vegan and Cruelty-free!!!

SUPER-LIMITED EDITION: Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in “Project Chimps”
Save the chimps, one perfect red lipstick at a time! Kat created this exclusive shade to benefit a cause very near to her heart—ending animal testing. For every Project Chimps Limited Edition lipstick sold, 20% of the retail price will go to Project Chimps, a nonprofit organization that has worked to stop the use of chimps in private biomedical research and retire them to a sanctuary. With limited edition packaging and a warm brick red shade, this collectible lipstick is flattering on all skintones, so everyone can rock it and support the cause!


THE life-proof lipstick that will not wear off! Yes, you can eat, drink, make up, break up and mouth-off knowing your lips are gonna stay flawless through it all!
In 28 to-die-for shades, this creamy formula glides over lips like a gloss and sets to a true matte finish. Along with 24-hour wear and high-pigment color, the next-generation formula is packed with natural moisturizers, including Vitamin E and Sunflower Seed Wax. All-day wear has never felt so comfortable!
Live happily Everlasting!

Kat Von D Serpentina Eyeshadow Palette

Kat Von D's new Serpentina Eyeshadow palette retails for $45 at Sephora as well as katvondbeauty.com.


What it is:
A limited-edition eye shadow palette with a gold loose pigment jar and eight rich, jeweled tones, inspired by the essence of Egypt. 

What it does:
Serpentina Eyeshadow Palette captures the opulence and beauty of ancient Egypt with a versatile design—unlike any other Kat Von D palette. The configuration features eight pressed powders in matte and metallic shimmer finishes, plus a removable jar of gold loose pigment for ultimate versatility. 

This signature triple-milled, high-pigment eye shadow formula delivers instant, true color payoff and silky blendability, so you can experiment with layering and mix and match finishes for a stunning dimensional look. Then, let your creativity run wild with Prophet, the gold loose pigment. From gilding lids to flecking brows, this little pot takes Serpentina to the next level. With exclusive artwork hand-drawn by Kat Von D, this palette will inspire you to channel your inner Egyptian queen to create rich, jeweled eye looks. 

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates 

What else you need to know:
"The inspiration for this palette came more from a sentiment versus an actual muse. But if I had to choose a physical representation, I'd say it's inspired by the essence of Egypt—Cleopatra to be specific. Although she's portrayed as one of the most beautiful women in history, the truth is, her most powerful qualities were her intelligence and self-creation. She was the original pioneering woman."—Kat Von D 

Serpentina Eyeshadow Palette is completely free of animal-derived ingredients. 

Shades and shade descriptions: Bloodmilk (matte brick red), Medusa (bronze shimmer), Ankh (matte black with gold glitter), Queen (rust glitter), Hieroglyph (copper shimmer), Nile (ocean blue shimmer), Scarab (emerald shimmer), Venom (matte royal purple), Prophet (fool's gold loose pigment).
