Quick Post: Kat Von D Star Studded Eyeshadow Book

Here is a brief post on the Kat Von D Star Studded Eyeshadow Book that I felt I had to do a quick review about.  I wanted to get this out because this was originally $55 at Sephora but it is currently on sale for $28.  This palette got eaten up on Sephora.com and is out of stock but you can try visiting a Sephora store and getting your hands on one, which is what I had to do.

This palette or book comes with 24 eyeshadows.  All ranging in different hues and finishes.  For the most part, it's no lie that I adore her eyeshadows.  But there were 5 colors which where fails for me and they all live in the 3rd and 4th row which house the purple and blue shades.  Needless to say, if you are thinking of getting this book for the purple and blue shades.......STOP and rethink this purchase.  BUT, if you're like me and a lover of all things nude, brown, and bronzy then GO NOW to your nearest Sephora and swoop it up.  Again the 3rd and 4th rows major fails for me but the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th rows are gor-ge-ous!!!




These are from row 1 and 2 (My Faves)
left to right: Solar, Nephilim, Damned, Division, Platonic, Mandala, Depeche, Brass Knuckles






My least favorite Shades are from this bunch (rows 3 and 4) and difficult to swatch.
From left to right: Anti-star, Estrella, Banshee, Violator, Black StarStarflyer, Gothica, and 
Fascnation Street





Another set of beautiful colors from the 5th and 6th rows
From left to right: Moz, Heaven Knows, Crosses, Covenant, Smiths, Leather, Craft, and Cult

For disliking 5 out of the 24 shades I would purchase this again.  The other colors more than make up for the pigmentation and blendablity of Estrella, Black Star, Starflyer, Gothica (just horrible, chunky, Patchy, and glittery), and Fascination Street.  

Again if you can get to a Sephora go and pick this palette up. For the sale price of $28 you can't go wrong!

Thanks for visiting,

Kat Von D Innerstellar Pallette

There is no denying Kat Von D's cosmetic line sold at Sephora.  Her cosmetics, aside for maybe one or two items, have never failed me.  Her eyeshadows, for the most part, are known for their soft, creamy, buttery, and blendable consistency.

I recently purchased her newest palette on Sephora.com, the Innerstellar eyeshadow palette.  Unfortunately, this palette is only available online to VIB Rouge members at Sephora.  This is a limited edition palette for Spring 2015...Not sure if that means it won't be for sale to general public until Spring.

Let's take a look...



Basic cardboard packaging, which I can appreciate because it's not too bulky.  Also comes with a good sized mirror.





The palette is arranged so you can use it as a 3 quad palette, each with 4 complimentary colors.  Or, if you're like me you can use whatever colors pleases you.
Top colors left to right:  Gravitron, Vast, Lycann
Bottom row from left to right:  Night crawler, Dios, Lunacy, Astrological, Darkstar, Orion, 3am, Moonshine, and Killing Moon







Here are the bottom row colors swatched in natural lighting

This is a beautiful palette with beautiful colors and you can tell that a lot of though went into the colors in this palette because ALL of the colors look so lovely together.  Whether you decide to use each quad alone or any color you choose across the palette, you will achieve a gorgeous look.  Your looks can range from a very natural eye to a very glamour eye, a black smokey eye, or a brown/bronzy smokey eye, even a purple smokey eye.  It comes with a nice brown matte transition color and a couple of colors that can be used to highlight your brow.  

This palette retails for $46 at Sephora only for VIB rouges at this time.
