I FINALLY got my hands on a Too Faced Bar Palette! My very first one...(well full size that is! I did get my hands on a mini-bar palette last December, but I heard the minis' were not up to par with the regular size palettes). To be honest, I was never very interested in these Chocolate Bar Palettes, until this Sweet Peach Palette came out. I mean, look at it! It is simply gorgeous! And it is suppose to smell like peaches, and I love the smell of peaches! So before I start on this review, I did film a [1st Impressions Review] on my Youtube Channel, where I share with you my first time using this palette, as well as, a makeup look. So you are free to go check out that video if you like.

Hi everyone! Meet Covergirl's $11.49 eyeshadow palette collection that claims to contain eyeshadows that look like leading $50.00 palettes in the beauty market. These are the TruNaked Eyeshadow Palettes. The three originals are the Nudes (warm browns and beiges colors), Roses (pink rosey colors), and Goldens (cool-tone browns and olive colors) Palettes, but Covergirl has recently come out with the TruNaked Jewels Eyeshadow Palette , which consist of a few colorful shades along side your usual neutral shadows. These images were taken from CoverGirl's and Ulta Beauty's Website.

Wet N Wild has some of the best, affordable eyeshadows I have ever had the honor to try. Of course, their new Studio Eyeshadow Palettes live up to the Wet N Wild name. 

I am loving all of these new eyeshadow palettes that are making their way into the drugstores, and Revlon decided they wanted to be apart of it. They came out with two different palettes at $12.99 each, with 10 eyeshadows in each palette.

This is my first +Lancome  Color Design 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palette. This quint is called Bouquet De Roses  which is part of the Lancome Spring 2016 Collection. I would say the colors are fresh and subtle, perfect for spring. It has your pinks and browns, and it does create a very pretty eye-brightening look. 

The "My Parisian Pastels" Shimmer Cube Eyeshadows & Highlighters Palette is inspired by the fun Rubic's Cube which fits the look and playfulness that  +Lancome  was going for with their 2016 Spring Collection. I love the tin cover art and the concept, but for practicality-wise, it is not so great. Which is a shame since these shimmery shadows are beautiful, and gives the eyes and cheeks a youthful, natural glow that last throughout the day.

I have been so curious about Maybelline's Eyeshadow Palettes ever since they came out, but because of all the negative reviews on them, I always steer clear of them until now. My curiosity peaked and I had to see for myself if these palettes were truly the disaster that everyone say they are...

Nyx actually has a few different versions of these Look Kits, and I happen to have the Bronze Smokey Look Kit which is perfectly fine, because I always would like myself a nice bronze look. 

The packaging, the shadows, the concept...everything about this Kat Von D "Monarch" Eyeshadow Palette is...PERFECTO!

I can not believe I haven't reviewed this palette yet! This was my very first nude palette and it's been awhile since I used it, but I dung it back out to play with the other day and instantly fell in love with it again.

These Urban Decay Vice Palettes just keep getting better and better every year! This is actually the only annual eyeshadow palette that I wait for to be available on the website...this year the Vice4 became available on the UD Website between 12:30am to 1:30am, and the minute I realized I can place an order, I did just that! Whoohoo! Got it before it sold out! Mission Accomplish! Isn't it beautiful!

A beautiful palette to create the perfect smoky eye. Ever since I got this palette I have been really enjoying it. The looks I create with it is absolute beautiful and the shadows (except matte shadows on matte shadows) been beautifully together.  If you want to read my full review of this Naked Smoky Palette , please click on the link provided.

Surprise! Surprise! Another Naked Palette has just arrived from Urban Decay! This time it's all about Smoky Sultry Shadows!  Those that are over Urban Decay's Naked Palettes need to stop being over it because this palette is different from the rest. This palette has everything from glitter to shimmer to matte shadows, with an array of different colors of both warm and neutral tones.

This beautiful 10-pan eyeshadow palette is inspired by designer's "Must Haves" and of course, neutrals are on the list of desires! Who doesn't like a good neutral palette! And this is exactly what L'oreal created; two neutral, everyday wearable eyeshadow palette. These palettes are priced at $19.99 and are available in two different sets. Set 1 is called Nude 1; full of bronzy, warm tone shadows, and Set 2 is called Nude 2; where you will find the cool taupes and purples. They are set up very much like the Urban Decay Naked and Naked2 palettes. So I used the UD palettes as my reference on which one to buy, and since I like the Naked2 palette a lot more, I bought the L'oreal La Palette Nude2 .

Today I present to you, Kat Von D New Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette. Isn't it beautiful! The moment I saw this come available at Sephora for VIB and Rouge members, I immediately placed an order.  After playing around with it a couple times, I have a few opinions formed about it and I would like to share it with you as well as swatches of each eyeshadow. 

Today I will talking about the 3rd Love-Child in Urban Decay's Naked Line, the Naked3. It is the best of both skin tone worlds (Warm-Cool), so you can say that it is the in-between palette of the Warm-tone Naked Original and the Cool-tone Naked2. Although it is packaged similarly to its two older sister, Naked2, the shadows within the palettes is completely, uniquely one-of-a-kind. All 12 shadows are new-shades to the Urban Decay Line, and all 12 shadows has a rose-hued base, meaning each shadow has a romantic-rosey undertone that is sure to make any eye look eye-catching.

When this palette was "new", the Naked2 was a must have because it consisted of 5 never-seen before eyeshadows (Booty-Call, Tease, Busted, Snakebite, & Pistol) & it also came with the "new" double-ended, cruelty-free Karma Brush, exclusive only to this palette. Now, the only thing special about this palette is the shadow, "Booty Call", exclusive only to the Naked2 (to my knowledge). So is this palette still worth purchasing? (In regards to if you still don't own the Naked2, of course.)

Geez, I have never realized how beautiful the packaging was until now, when I have it in my hands and can call this palette mine. I don't know why I didn't buy it the moment it became available, (it was cheaper then too, $48.00) but I am glad that I have it now.

This is my first Urban Decay Vice Palette. I have always wanted one, but never got the urge to buy one until now. The selling point was the fact that this palette contain 20 NEW SHADES and if it weren't for that, I probably would have skipped it again this year, since it retails at $60, and there are other Holiday palettes that I could have gotten for a better value.

Not too long ago, I did a look using this Smokey Nuetral eye Palette, and I believe I said that I loved it, or somewhere down the line of that. Well, I still love it and today I am going to go into more depth about why I love it so much.  First, I want to let you know what the company says about their $7.50 palette:
