Kat Von D // Saint & Sinner Palette Review
Oh, Saint & Sinner palette, how much I wanted to LOVE you.
I normally don't start palette reviews off with that saying, do I? I know, it's crazy. I've seen so much love for this palette. I do really like this palette, but I would be lying if I said I loved it. The colors in this are amazing! This got me out of my comfort zone with every look created and let me experiment with new colors on my eyes that I thought I would never want to use! The pigmentation is there for sure! It overall, is a really beautiful palette. I love the concept of having a more natural side and then a more wild side. The palette itself is pretty large, I have no problem with this. I wouldn't travel with something this big though. Now discussing the hard issues I had with this palette. I created so many looks with this palette and have been using it since October! I have seven looks below to show each shade used. A lot of my looks turned out really good and I loved my eye makeup. Others WOULD NOT blend together. The struggle was real. People are complaining about the Subculture, but loving these shadows?! I don't own any other Kat Von D palettes so It's hard for me to compare. I want to try her others out to see if this is just a "limited-edtion" issue that I'm having. There are 24 shades in this palette so honestly I would let some not-so-good shadows slide and still love the palette for the shadows that look wonderful on my eyes, but there's another issue. After applying this eyeshadow I (like I always do to test shadows out) watched how they wore on my eyes. I have so many palettes that last all day long. This palettes looks lasted me anywhere from 3-5 hours on my eyes. Not even a whole "work day"... Not impressed. It's such a bummer, because this is a gorgeous palette! The good credit I'll give to this palette is the shade range. If you are a real big fan of wild eyeshadow colors then you may still want this! You also have to factor in how much you'll use it with the price tag that's on this palette. I will still be keeping this palette and I know I'll get use out of the unique shades that I don't own in other palettes. I will mainly wear these on nights where I will need makeup for only a few hours. I will definitely not be reaching for this for an all day look again.
Again this has 24 shadows:
(2) Toppers: Absolution & Rapture
(6) Metallics: Chalice, Heaven, Rosary, Ministry, Relic, & Stigmata
(4) Pearlescents: Worship, Immaculate, Sacred Heart, & Sanctuary
(7) Mattes: Amen, Crucifix, Baptism, Sabbath, Martyr, Devil, & Exorcism
(5) Glitters: Cathedral, Ashes, Revelation, Vestment, & Exodus
Kat Von D Saint & Sinner Palette is a 6/10 for me!
This palette is $62.00
This is very limited-edition so this may only be available through online makeup selling sites.
