Hey everyone, today’s post is going to be about the Violet Voss X Laura Lee Eyeshadow Palette!  Not going to lie, I was pretty excited about this palette when I first heard about it.  First, I love Laura Lee and have been watching her Youtube channel for a long time.  Second, I’ve been wanting to try a Violet Voss palette ever since there was a lot of buzz going around about how great their Holy Grail palette was.  So let’s get into it!

So, if you love neutrals, especially warm neutrals, you are probably going to love this palette.  This palette contains 20 eyeshadows-10 matte shades and 10 shimmer shades, so it is nicely balanced in that regard.  The matte shades are super smooth and buttery feeling, as are the shimmers.  All of the shades are super pigmented as well.  You are able to get the most out of the shimmer shades by foiling them with a setting spray on your brush (or water even), though they still look really pretty as is.  The matte shades are super easy to work with, they aren’t patchy and blend out really nicely.

Swatches from top to botttom: Paradox, Jinxie, Elixir, Seeker.

Hey everyone!  Today I am reviewing the Colourpop Zingara Eyeshadow Collection!  This collection includes with four eyeshadows for only $18 – which is super affordable.  It also comes in a super cute box, and I’m a sucker for packaging so I appreciated this.  This is a very ‘fall’ looking collection, but definitely can be used all year ’round.  The shades included are Paradox-a deep burgundy (satin finish), Jinxie-a shimmery gold/champagne, Elixir-an orange-y terracotta (matte finish), and Seeker-a deep reddish brown (matte finish).

Hey everyone!  Today I’m going to be reviewing the Jeffree Star Beauty Killer Palette!  I was so excited to order this palette, because I think Jeffree Star does some amazing makeup looks and is serious about makeup quality.  Basically, I knew this eyeshadow palette had to be bomb.  Let’s get into it!

As you can see, the colors are just beautiful in this palette.  The palette consists of 10 eyeshadows:   4 mattes, 5 shimmers, and 1 matte with flecks of glitter in it.  The pans are also really big, which is awesome.  As you might expect from Jeffree Star, most of the colors are unique and more on the bold side.  But, you still have a blending crease color, a base color, and a nice smokey color for adding depth.  So, even though there are a lot of colorful shades, you do have the basics you need to create a makeup look all in one palette.
