HELLO KITTY GRAFFITI PALETTE

pigments are somewhat sheer and light

An item left almost forgotten in my beauty review basket for weeks finally now is getting it's moment in the sun for todays' review- Limited Edition Hello Kitty Graffiti Palette. You know as a New Yorker I had to get this and maybe I'll go back for another design cover because the cases come in various prints. My palette case has purple, yellow, pink and blue hues with the word Kitty graffiti sprayed on it. Oh yeah, it also has BK on the cover. For you non NY-er's that's short for Brooklyn. I love this palette so much not only for it's fun print but because the shadows are semi-sheer and naturally looking. If you prefer color on your skin or heavily loaded pigments you might not appreciate this so much and if your pale skinned like me you will love how the colors look natural especially with the blush giving you just  a hint of wash. The new Hello Kitty graffiti line is available for sale now only at Sephora and includes palette's, cosmetic cases, mini notebook, rollerball perfume, compact mirror and a mirrored hello kitty brush holder with brushes all in the graffiti print.

Hello Kitty Graffiti Eyeshadow & Blush Palette.  

What it is: 

A two-tier compact featuring four eye shadows and a blush duo.  

What it does: 

Hello Kitty shows off her street style with this graffiti-inspired palette. The striking visual language of street art always gives her a little surprise and a big smile. This compact's design pays tribute to the daring artists who decorate Hello Kitty's favorite downtown sidewalks. 

This palette contains- 

4 eye shadows in shimmery gray, soft pink, charcoal, and grayish teal  

2 powder blushes in dusty pink and bronzy peach

Pro: natural color palette, natural blush shades, collectible compact, travel friendly, cruelty free, decent pigment wear (primer is a must), decent amount of product fill weight, well constructed material, limited ed.

Con: color range may not be suitable for all, semi-sheer pigmentation, pricey

My results: I'm completely in love with this palette even though it has it's flaws and this review and my ratings are based on how the colors work with my skin tone. I also reviewed the hello Kitty Memoirs Of A Geisha Palette which is linked on this blog and I'm glad that when making this second palette they decided not to add lip gloss but blush instead. Lip gloss in palettes are somewhat useless to me and I prefer getting my moneys worth with something I will actually use such as the blushes. I like that no matter what age you are Hello Kitty is loved by all making it an ageless collectible cosmetic. If your not a HK fan you probably will skip this as the colors are not heavily pigmented and if your a fan like me you will love it for it's fun design and natural looking color range although it probably works best on fair to medium skin tones.

Packaging: This palette is two tiered with the 4 eye shadows and mirror on the top level and two blushes with a printed artwork top on the second level. It's pretty thick in size at a little over 1/2 inch. The case itself is about 4 inches all around. The outer compact is drenched in graffiti artwork from artist POSE and comes in a couple of different cases. The top case has the usual HK bow in a faux mirror material while the entire case is a well constructed plastic all tucked in a fabulous artwork box which I will be keeping.

Formula: The shadows are very lightly pigmented and semi-sheer. You will definitely need a primer on your lids yet the shadows are buildable for more color impact. The highlighter is the lightest color and was not easy to capture with a camera making it appear invisible but you will get more color when you apply this on your skin. The blushes are natural looking and have more pigmentation than the shadows. I have to mention the beautiful blue gray shades have more pigmentation to them and are stunning in person. The color range in this palette probably works best with fair to medium skin tone. I don't understand why they just didn't do two palettes and allow everyone to actually wear these. You can easily use this palette for daily use as there is no glitter in the formula just a nice sheen to the shadows.

I might have given this a higher rating than another product because I'm in love with it and it suits my own skin tone personally but I hope the info I provided helps everyone decide if they would like to purchase it or not. If the palette isn't for you then maybe you might like something else from the new line. It is rather pricey but like I said the ratings and review are based on my personal experience with this product and I enjoy having, using and collecting it. I think for the skin tone range it's suitable for makes my 4.5 starfish rating fair. The reason for the high rating was based on this and the fact that it's a collectible item. I do feel they could have improved on the pigmentation and had released another palette color choice for women of every skin tone to wear. Could it be that they market this brand heavily in Asia making it work well with the majority of women? I don't know but they should look into offering more of a varied palette in the future. What item will you buy from this collection? Stay beautiful! XOXO

Too Faced Custom Palette Made Just For Me!

my personal custom message + my choice of wallpaper

I got to choose the eyeshadow and blush color and primer

 

SHADE:Lucky/Charms

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Today I'll be reviewing Too Faced Custom Palette which I tweeted about many times while it was being sold for reduced price as it no longer is available so I hope you all had a chance to grab a set for yourself. I believe last year I posted the news when Too Faced started offering these custom made palettes which I always wanted to try but somehow it slipped my mind. Anyhow, Too Faced recently offered these custom palettes at $17.99 which was half price from the original $37.99 price tag. I am so glad I purchased one at sale price because I would have been upset if I paid the full price and I'll explain why. Even thought these are sold out as of now maybe the info will be useful for you if they decide to relaunch the custom palette idea. In the meantime check out the site for the launch of the new fall collection.

What's included in this set:

A palette with a mirror

your choice of background design

message of your choice

your choice of blush shade

your choice of eyeshadow shade

your choice of primer, mascara or eyeliner

an optional gift card tag (which is included even if it isn't a gift)

I choose the girl background in pink, light pink blush )which looks like peach instead), my fave Too Faced Primer and a combo set of eye-shadows in Lucky/Charms.

What I didn't like:

The palette size: it it tiny! The size is like 4 X 4 inches. They don't make mention of the size online and I thought it would be bigger for the price they were originally selling it for.

I ordered a fresh pink blush yet it looks like the peach option they were also offering it. A little too peachy for me.

The cardboard material felt a little cheap.

What I love:

The eyeshadow are gorgeous! They are nicely pigmented and shimmery but not tacky. These colors are still available in the Too Faced Duo set and the shade is Lucky Charms. Lucky is Emerald Foil and Charms is a beautiful Golden light Green. A great combo for a ethereal mermaid look

I also love Too Faced Primer. I have several of the tubes and it's weird I never reviewed it. I'll get around to it one day.

So there you have it. A good palette because you get to pick the color options but a not so great value at full price. Maybe they put it on sale because they weren't selling fast enough. Perhaps they can improve this idea in the future. I'm glad I grabbed it on sale. Still, I got to try the fabulous Lucky Charm duo shadows and have a customized little box with my name and motto on the cover. When the shadows run out I can place my little trinkets inside plus my name on the box looks cute on my vanity table. Anyone have this? Stay beautiful! XOXO

Finally! I had a moment to swatch and upload photos for you guys. What I thought would be the mother load of all palettes this year with angels singing loudly AHH AHHH AHHHH... Well, almost...

What am I talking about? The Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary Palette which helps celebrate fifteen years of Urban Decay in a gorgeous commemorative keepsake box. This is part of an entire collection of limited edition products UD put out for their special anniversary as well as being a new item in the fall collection. I will add images of the entire line up in another post.  I'm a little yay and a little nay on this, read why in my results below.

What this is:

15 ALL-NEW shadows for our big 15! You get neutrals, brights AND deep shades in a sleek gunmetal collectible box (our most luxe EVER!).

It’s our party, and we’ll launch 15 NEW (and only in this kit!) eyeshadow shades if we want to! With just the right balance of neutrals and brights, darks and lights, the 15-Year Anniversary Palette is both versatile and the ultimate UD junkie collection. Shades like “Junkshow” (a bright pink), “Evidence” (a deep metallic blue) and Midnight 15 (an oyster pearl shade) mesmerize the eyes. The collectible gunmetal outer box features a luxe faceted jewel “UD” on the cover and an eye-grabbing laser-cut filigree design on the sides. Inside, the shadow tray pulls out to reveal a velvet-lined compartment that can be used to stash jewelry or personal mementos.

Included in this kit: Deeper (deep shimmery golden brown), M.I.A. (soft shimmery dark brown), Ace (dark gunmetal shimmer), Blackout (darkest, most saturated black), Half Truth (shimmery smoky purple), Tainted (pale matte purple with golden shimmer), Junkshow (bright pink w/fuchsia shift), Omen (shimmery metallic bright purple w/blue shift), Evidence (deep metallic blue), Deep End (bright teal shimmer), Midnight Rodeo (medium metallic brown w/silver and gold glitter), Midnight 15 (oyster pearl w/silver glitter), Vanilla (shimmery white gold), Flow (soft peach shimmer), Chase (metallic bright bronze)

Pro: new shades, beautiful presentation, great pigments, cruelty free, travel friendly, cute mini storage space

Con: cheaply made palette, reflective container is light plastic and fingerprints don't clean off easily, the top is super loose so you must be careful when handling the container, the shadows are not full weight-slightly smaller, no primer-liner or anything else included making it a pricey set overall.

My results: First let me start off by saying if it were not for the Urban Decay shadow quality I would be really upset with this palette finding it not worth the price even though it's gorgeous to look at and I LOVE URBAN DECAY. I'm an absolute fiend but have a few grips with this palette. I know you gals are going to grab this regardless of the faults as you should because it's still a hot item with fabulous pigments but I feel I should do a complete honest review and I'm not regretting having purchased this at all.

Gripe #1 the pigments had arrived all pressed with fingertips and customer service said it's from the manufacturer who presses the shadows down when making them using gloves. Still... Check it out before sending it to people or at least swipe down the fingerprints first.

Gripe #2 the reflective surface it has is not a mirror but a very thin flimsy reflective plastic surface that holds fingerprint stains and when you clean it off it looks murky. Yuck! For this price and your loyal customers a real mirror surface would have been ten times classier and more presentable on a vanity.  I know what your thinking, this girl is anal and ummm yes your right. Is it wrong to want quality? I'm a neat freak and don't like messed up stuff, sue me.

Gripe #3 The lid is super loose and you need to handle it with care or else your fingers will slip and bye bye palette!

Gripe #4 No primer, no liner no nothing special extra to celebrate 15 years. I know I complain I have too many primers from the previous kits but still, at least I use them up. I think tweens or teens might not care about these little things as I probably have not at some point but being more mature and growing conscious of how I spend my money I would expect more quality. This has less product than the older palettes so it's not really that super in terms of value. I do like the palette plenty enough but just feel a little disappointed.

The Formula: The shadows are nicely pigmented as usual from UD and they are silky making them easy to work with. The color variety here is also nice with something for everyone to lust after. The shades are also versatile making them wearable for day to evening. And while there are fifteen new shades some are slightly similar to older UD shadows. What I'm tired of are all the smoke shades already. I probably own 100 different variations of black shadows and hardly wear them anymore. The also need to stop adding glittery variations of midnight cowboy. I do like the three pinky/plum shades junk show, omen and tainted the best. My other faves are evidence, deeper and deep end. It would have been nice to see more vivid colors in this set but I'm pleased with the ones included in this palette. The shadows are reported in other reviews as full size, they are not full size. They are 1.3 grams and the full size are 1.5 grams. At this price with no other product included they could have made them full size for this kit.

The Packaging: It's gorgeous and presentable! I really love it! But the quality kills it for me as it feels like it was put together last minute with the cheapest material. I'm afraid to handle it and every time I touch the case my fingerprints ick it up and unlike a real mirror the surface gets murky when I try to clean it with a cloth. The design of it is beautiful enough with scroll work on the outer case as well as a pretty giant UD fake jewel logo on the top portion of the case. It's cute that it rests on a faux velvet like container and that you can remove the pigment layer sheet possibly sneaking  a little love note underneath it. You can only store something flat in the bottom but you can use the purple velvet box to store some jewels if you like. The size is about 5 x 5 without the purple case and it's travel friendly although it might damage easily so be carefully when packing it.

All in all I'm still happy with the collection and decided to pick up another one to give as a gift for someone and despite what I posted in my review there is no regret on my part for purchasing the palette. My reviews are always honest and in my opinion fair, period. I just expect more quality from UD because their eye shadows and cosmetics have always proven to be worthy of what they charge. Hopefully they will put out something more spectacular in the future. It's too bad I'm not designing these things because they would be killer gorgeous! I'm going to give this a four starfish rating and that's pretty good considering. I still would recommend you buy this for the collectible factor, for the quality of the pigments and because it still is a really beautiful palette to keep on your vanity. I just find it necessary to share all the kinks that I experienced with this set. The palette is available now at Urban Decay as well as Sephora so get shopping before they sell out.! Have one? Opinions? Stay beautiful! XOXO

It's finally here! My review for Tarte For Trueblood Limited Edition Eye Palette. I have had this since it first launched but due to having gone away for a week and being busy I just now have had a chance to swatch all the colors for you, my apologies for the delay. Soon to follow this review is Tarte For Trueblood Natural Cheek Stain. And I'm hoping I can grab the lip stain as well before it vanishes. Some product info below before posting my review.

Pro: great collectors palette, secret compartment for extra storage, eye look chart, primer, mascara and liner, well constructed, good size mirror, decent pigments, cruelty free, some natural ingredients

Con: some shades look more colorful in palette but appear dark smoke on eyes without the shift showing up, a couple matte shades are a bit dry, a little pricey

My results: I was so excited when this first arrived at my doorstep and although I'm pleased with the palette overall there are a few gripes I have with this set mainly with the formula of some shades. The palette is impressive on it's own and a must for the serious collector of the hit series or just a fan of all things Gothic such as myself. I really love this for the fact it's more sexier than all the cutsy girly palettes I own and this is one of the few palettes that is more daring. The covering of the box has thick strings wrapped into the case with grommets to mimic a leather corset which is really gorgeous and even the side secret compartment has this message "open after dark" imprinted on it which is fun as well. You get 17 eye shadows, an aqua eye liner, mascara and a mini primer along with a style guide for creating various eye looks.

The packaging: The palette size is about 6 inches by 1.5 inch in height making it chunky and well constructed of durable cardboard yet it's still compact enough to travel with.You get a full mirror under the top cover and the background is printed in black floral pattern overall. And I love the secret compartment which opens up to reveal the primer, mascara and eyeliner on the bottom row. The red case that houses these can be removed and you can store small items underneath it such as jewelry, notes, coins, whatever you like. I have to say it's a pretty decent package over all and unique just for the fact it's styled for  vampire, Gothic feel to it inspired by the hit series TRUE BLOOD making it pretty unique because I haven't seen to many vampire themed palettes out there.

The Formula: This is the area I'm a little upset about as some of the matte shades feel dry and flaky and I love Tarte shadows so I don't know why just a couple feel that way. Using the primer is a must and does help in regards to this so it's not a major deal still would have been nice if they were silkier. Also some of the prettiest looking shades in the set such as Noctural ( indigo with blue shimmer shift) and Glamour  (deep shimmer purple) come up really dark on your eyes without the shift showing up at all. They look too dark like smoke and almost similar which is annoying to say the least. And the top three shades are very very light you need to apply a few layers and must use primer underneath. The most gorgeous colors in this set are Moss, The True Death, V and Charmer. I like some of the others too but these shades are amazing with THE TRUE DEATH hands down being the most beautiful silver leaf shadow I have ever seen! It is fabulous! As for the eye liner and mascara, I have yet to use it and will review it when I get a chance. The primer I did use and it's pretty decent without flaking and keeps the pigments on long er than without it.

I'm glad I purchased this kit and would recommend it as a buy for serious collectors or women who might prefer it to all the more girly palettes out on the market and the shadows are good enough for day to evening wear without being over tacky or childish. I'm going to give this product a 4 starfish rating which is pretty decent for the quantity of items in the set, the over all package, the collectability factor and for being cruelty free. Better pigments and more unique shades along with a lower price would have given this a higher rating. Still if your a true die hard fan or love the dark and mysterious this palette is for you. Stay beautiful! XOXO Availability:Sephora, Tarte.com $52 Limited Edition

Hello Kitty Memoirs Of A Kitty Palette

I'm so excited to bring you today's review for Hello Kitty Memoirs Of A Kitty Palette newly released and exclusive to Sephora. Hello Kitty debuted earlier this year and this is the newest arrival along with some other  products in the Hello Kitty line available only at Sephora. I was thinking of getting the other eye palettes a few months back but hesitated because the other palettes had lip gloss in  them and I find lip gloss useless to me in palettes. This new version which is two tiered has two different blushes instead of the lip gloss on the lower level so I splurged. The real reason is my love for Japonica items and with Memoirs Of A Geisha being my favorite novel/movie it was too cute of a tie in with the adorable cherry blossom print to pass up! Not only are the pigments great but the compact is freaking gorgeous with even printed art on the second tier of the palette. It's actually not cheap, flimsy or too girlish as most Hello Kitty cosmetics out there are which are generally made for little girls. This palette is really fat and the colors are sophisticated enough for any age taking you from day to night. A lovely way to showcase shades in the taupe family which I love using plus it has blush instead of useless lip gloss-yeah! This is definitely a buy I'm satisfied with. I also purchased that jumbo mirror Hello Kitty canister with the pink brushes inside, post coming soon. They now how another version of that large kitty all in Swavorski crystals but it's several hundred dollars, no thanks! The mirror one will do for me as the price was high enough. Another mention-the colors are much more rich and pigmented but as usual they don't show up in my crappy camera. Some product info below before posting my review.

Say Hello Palette - Memoirs Of A Kitty
What it is:
A tiered compact with four eyeshadows and two powder blushes.

What it does:
This Hello Kitty compact contains two tiers of high-quality Hello Kitty products. The four eyeshadows include shades ranging from soft rose to warm brown, colors that harmonize beautifully with the two powder blushes. The tiered compact comes in the shape of Hello Kitty and is adorned with the Memoirs of a Kitty cherry blossom print.

The Say Hello palette includes:
- Pearlized Pinky Beige 0.07 oz eyeshadow
- Pearlized Tan 0.07 oz eyeshadow
- Pearlized Honey 0.07 oz eyeshadow
- Sparkling Brown 0.07 oz eyeshadow
- Peach 0.16 oz powder blush
- Rose 0.16 oz powder blush

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens

What else you need to know:
Sweet and effective, this Hello Kitty product contains powerful extracts of strawberry, apple, and grape seed to hydrate and soften skin. Packed with powerful antioxidants, these ingredients also fight free radicals and improve skin's elasticity and youthfulness.  

 

 Pro: rich pigments-blendable-versatile colors-anti-oxidant formula-no parabens-cruelty free-17 grams total weight-gorgeous huge compact-2 tiered-mirror-lovely print-collectors item-durable construction

Con: may be considered pricey- no refills

My results: This compact is so worth the money in my opinion because you get sophisticated neutral shade you can always use along with a couple of beautiful blushes with a total of 17 grams of product! I'll start with the compact first which is shaped in a huge hello kitty shaped head about 3 inches or so and it's really fat & thick! It's constructed of a durable heavy plastic with an all over cherry blossom print in delicate pinks, light brown & green accents with on a white background. There is a huge green reflective crystal like plastic bow on the top of kitty's head which is so cute!

It has two layers starting with the top portion which houses four different shadows of pinky beige, tan, honey and brown. You can use two of them as highlighters and the darker shades to create smoky eyes. The bottom compartment houses two lovely powder blushes in a peach and rose shade. I'm not a fan of peach but the rose is beautiful! Even the top cover on the bottom compartment is covered in that cherry blossom print all with a mirror included. A great vanity piece or really nice to pull out of your purse. This palette comes packed inside a  nice cherry print box. 

As for the pigments, the shadows are really rich and easy to work with. There not super silky but there not dry either. The shadows have a nice subtle sheen to them without any glitter which is always a plus because some glittery shades are nice but nothing but glitter in your collection can get tacky and it's more suited for tweens. It's a very versatile yet neutral color grouping. The blush is also nice and easy to blend and like the shadow there is just enough moisture without being too silky. It's nice that is has some natural anti-oxidants in the formula and no parabens still it's not 100% natural which I'm hoping cosmetic brands  will work on in the near future but it's at least cruelty free!

This gets a full 5 starfish rating from me for the formula, packaging, over all value, cruelty free and cute factor! I'm not pleased no refills are offered but the total weight of product is 17 grams which is a lot for the price so it's a reasonable splurge. I think it has way more value than the Urban Decay Rollergirl Palette which has no no shades in it other than Woodstock and I already own the single token plus a useless lip gloss for about the same price as Hello Kitty yet this is better! And that's saying  lot for me because I'm a UD junkie! I guess I'm getting wiser as to how I spend on cosmetics but fear not there are a few Urban decay things still waiting to be reviewed by me such as the 24/7 Glide On Shadow Pencil. hey, if they ever put the Rollergirl on sale I just might get it too I'm just not paying the retail price for it. If your looking for one really cute palette this summer grab this one and if the colors are too light for you they have other palettes in the collection except those have lip gloss instead of the blush. Stay beautiful XOXO
