My Kat Von D Palettes

For any of you that don't know who Kat Von D is she is an American tattoo artist, she has her own tv show (LA Ink) that follows her at the tattoo studio in LA and in the last 3 or 4 years she has started her own cosmetics range! Over the last couple of years I have been to New York twice (my dad works over there) and both times I picked up some of her make up palettes! I now have four altogether and I love them!

My Make Up For Ever Palette

I wanted to try make up for ever cosmetics for a while, especially after spying the #92 eyeshadow on a lot of youtube videos so a couple of weeks ago I decided to take the plunge and create a three eyeshadow palette! I chose #92 purple (obviously!), #93 peach/coral and #5 mint green! 

L to R: #5, #93, #92

These are all matte finishes and blend really well with other mattes and shimmery ones alike!

I LOVE the purple, it is the perfect purple... just yum!

The mint green is another colour I have been looking for, though I would like a shimmery mint green so if anyone knows of any?!

And the peachy coral is so lovely, the matte version of urban decay free love!

Do you have any MUFE eyeshadows? Or any other MUFE products that you love?

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Collection

It wasn't until 2007 that I was able to experience Urban Decay, before that there was no way I could properly afford it! I remember I used some birthday money to buy my first eyeshadow, trusty old YDK which is still one of my favourites today! Then in late 2009/early 2010 I jumped at the chance to buy the Book of Shadows 2, and from there my collection continues to grow...

It got to a point where all the palettes I was carrying around were getting too cumbersome and too heavy so I decided to purchase a Z Palette and depot them into it!

This palette contains Book of Shadows 2 + 3 and Deluxe Shadow Box!

Also I have other individuals

L to R: Roach, YDK, Sellout

L to R: Lounge, Goddess, Free Love, Shattered

I have the Naked Palette

I have five of the 24/7 glide on eyeshadow pencils

L to R: Morphine, Rehab, Sin, Clinic, Narc

The last thing I bought was the 15th Anniversary Palette

I also have one more thing on the way that my lovely boyfriend has ordered for my birthday so I'll be showing that off soon ;) can you guess what that might be?

I love urban decay sooooo much, it is my holy grail eyeshadow brand! The pigmentation, the texture, the colours... Just everything is spot on!

If you want me to do swatches, reviews or FOTD with these then let me know!

Mac Paint Pots

I didn't discover Mac Paint Pots until a couple of years ago, I had always used Urban Decay Primer Potion, which don't get me wrong, is a great primer but I have most definitely been converted to these! I have three on the go at the moment!

L to R: Bare Study, Rubenesque, Soft Ochre

Swatches

These are just the perfect primers, once they are on they stay put all day and even when they are completely dry they still have enough tackiness for the eyeshadow to adhere to and this in turn makes the eyeshadow colours pop!

Soft Ochre being matt is brilliant for applying matte eyeshadows, Bare Study is great for everything and Rubenesque really makes brown eyeshadows more intense!

Have you tried Paint Pots? What has been your experiences with them? 

Comment me below!
