Kat Von D Palette-Poetica

Kat Von D Palettes are slowly becoming my favorites, this one being no exception.  I picked this up before Christmas and JUST NOW got around to swatching it and using it.  Today will be a swatch and tell.  I will show you swatches of the product and give a little review.  Then within the next few days I will be putting up a look I did with using just this palette for eye shadow.  On to the swatch festtttt.

This is the new metal palette type the have, it springs open fairly quickly and that can be somewhat of a hassle but its pretty sturdy.

Just a close up on the name here for ya.

All of the color names are listed on the back. (From T to B-Forgiveness, Sand Timer, Chandler, Tijuana, Wonderland, Shiba, Babe, You alone)

The beautifullll shadows

This makes it so they are in the same order as I listed them, from the back of the palette

All of them swatched on my arm.  This is upside down from the previous order they were in, sorry if thats confusing!  The left side is swatched dry, and the right side is with NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk underneath.

Soooo about this product?  I love this palette.  Sand Timer is a little less pigmented than most of them, and You alone is very very sheer when blended out.  The rest of them are creamy and richly pigmented.  Babe is in a similar formulation as Stars and Rockets from MAC.  It has that Purple/blue/blurple/pinkish/duochromey goodness when over white or black.  Tijuana is probably my favorite shadow out of allll of them, love the golden, orange glitter in the pure black base.

This originally came with a Kat Von D mini eyeliner, in the black color.  I have since already used all of this up, long before my blog came along...so sorry for that!

I got this palette shortly before Christmas at Sephora for $38 dollars.  I do normally see them go on sale for $24ish after they have been out for awhile, so keep your eyes open!

As I said, I will be posting a look later this week using nothing but this palette for eye shadow.  So be on the look out for that!

Nail Polish Haul

Hey lovelies, I went shopping yesterday to get some new spring colors and I found some good deals.  You all know how much I love the Sally Hansen Xtreme line, so I picked up a few more of those.  I also got some Art Deco nail polishes from LA Colors.  This was all purchased at my local Dollar General..  The Sally Hansen ones were $2.50 a piece (no sale this time, wah wah) and all of the Art Deco polishes were only $1.00.

(All of the colors I bought)

(Sally Hansen Xtreme wear)

(#150 in Sun Kissed, this is a pale creamy orange yellow, leans a little peachy)

(#360 Mellow Yellow, a pale creamy yellow, bright for spring and summer)

(#240 Twisted Pink, looks like a cream at first, but when you look closely there is a slight golden shimmer)

(#280 Marine Scene, A shimmery teal blue)

(#200 Strobe Light.  A pink gel base with Silver and rainbow reflective glitter, good for a top coat)

(LA Colors, Art Deco Polishes)

(Intense pink)

(Silver Glitter)

(Teal Glitter)

(Black)

(This is the brush size on all of the Art Deco Polishes, they are perfect for nail designs and make sharp lines)

Wellllllll, that was a lot of pictures.  I look forward to doing nail looks and fun spring/summer nails with these polishes.  I am excited to use the Art Deco polishes to make nail art a little easier (since I seriously suck at it!)  What are some of your favorite nail polishes for spring/summer?  I will be doing a spring nail polish post soon since spring is fast approaching!  

Also, if you haven't checked out my giveaway, please do!  It ends this Friday and I would love to see as many people as possible enter!  I have some fun and cute prizes, so make sure you take a look.  click here, baybay!

Always will be,
