Review: SauceBox Batalash Palette

Saucebox Batalash Palette
Today's review is going to be about one of the hottest palette's of the year and that's the limited edition SauceBox Batalash Palette. This palette is going fast and rightfully so. The color's are brilliant pigmented and extremely large in size. Though some have complained about the $60 price tag, the amount of product you received (4 grams an eyeshadow) more than offset's the price considering each shade is $7.50 and the average MAC eyeshadow is now $16 for 1.5 grams. Again this palette is a steal. 

Back of the box with product info
The palette was created in collaboration with the SauceBox company and the Batalash girls; Batalash consists of three makeup artist Samantha, Angela, and Dominique. They are all amazingly talented and very popular. With such a great collaboration they've created a beautiful palette that consists of 4 universal matte shades and 4 pearl finish shades. As of today (July  6 ) SauceBox reported that they only have 500 palette's left so I recommend grabbing one. Also there is currently a special going on to get 10% off,  the code is 10BUX , so please take advantage of that. The link to the palette is here.

What the inside of the palette looks like

Colors from left to right, top row to bottom row; Vanilla, Winter Brown, Cinnamon, Lace Noir, Enigma, Electro, Popper, and Nova.
The shades in the palette are Vanilla (a light cream matte), Winter Brown ( a light beige matte), Cinnamon (a rusty deep orange red matte), Lace Noir ( an off black matte), Enigma ( a shimmery orange copper pearl), Electro ( a shimmery canary yellow pearl), Popper ( a light blue pearl), and Nova ( a purple magenta pearl). The matte shades in the palette were extremely creamy and clung to the skin without the use of a primer, the pearl shades have a gorgeous luster about them that is pigmented and glowing. The swatches below were from one swipe on the pan and one swipe to the skin. They go on like butter! Popper did need another swipe to look close to the shade in the palette but that was barely a problem. My favorite shades from the palette are Engima, Nova and Cinnamon. This is one of my most favorite palette's of the year and very people of color friendly.

Colors swatched left from right, Vanilla, Winter Brown, Cinnamon, Lace Noir, Enigma, Electro, Popper, and Nova
So again please check out the link above and grab the palette while it's still available because after it goes out of stock they will not be bringing this palette back; and don't forget to take advantage of the promo code. This is my first purchase from SauceBox and I am very pleased and will be looking into buying more from the company. Below is a look I did with the palette, with details in the caption.

So have you guys got a chance to try the palette? Thinking about buying? Tried any other SauceBox products? Please let me know in the comment's below!

You've Stolen My Heart Esperanza

KAT VON D Esperanza Eyeshadow Palette

Ok, to state the obvious I am a beauty junkie. That's been clearly established for some time now. Now to my point when this palette hit the shelves today:

I quintessentially lost my mind. This is the latest Kat Von D Palette for Spring 2014 and its described as:

"A fresh palette of eight long-wear, full coverage shadows that deliver matte, pearl, and high-glitter finishes, plus one transformative color veil. "


This palette was made for me. I love the soft Spring shades, I love the glitter, and sugar skull that adorns the palette is too beautiful. Beautiful and morbid? Yeah that's me all day.

My fingers could not leap to the checkout faster. In this moment I imagine my fingers in the make up check out Olympics. They're hurdling over the free Sephora samples to make it to the submit my order button where, covered in victorious sweat, push past the submit my order button and would be greeted with a bouquet and a confirmation notice.

Strange way to think of it? I agree, but this palette appears to be so worth it. Kat Von D's eyeshadow formulas for the most part are buttery, pigmented and so easy to blend. This palette comes with 8 shades:
 Selena (glitter purple)
 Dayglo (transformer shade, iridescent white)
Galore (pearl peach)
Placebo (matte peony pink)
Santeria (glitter greenish grey)
Archangel (sparkle seafoam green)
South (matte beige)
Dog Roses (sparkle bronze) 

Another interesting fact about the palette is that the shadows are supposedly infused with rose extract to moisturize the delicate eyelid area. Pretty shmancy stuff.

Well my fellow make up otakus I can't wait for this to come in the mail so I can give you my first hand experience and photos.

Here is the link if you want to checkout this beautiful palette: http://www.sephora.com/esperanza-eyeshadow-palette-P384633?skuId=1552488

So is anyone thinking of picking of the palette? What do you think of it?
