Kat Von D: Eyeshadow Palette in Ludwig

I'm honestly like a child in a candy store whenever I step into Sephora. The familiar and warm feeling of walking out with a 'unregrettable' purchase, as my gait quickens to the never-ending rows of makeup.

I was so excited to see that Kat Von D had a cosmetics line. I'm in love with the woman! I adore her 1940s alternative-pin up girl aesthetic.  Sephora actually had this palette on sale for $15, so I considered it a steal. When I swatched the colors, I fell in love...then I got home.

-Huge dramatic sigh-

The only colors I like (for my skin tone anyways) are Baroque (satin bronze), Leather (matte dark brown), and Lucifer (matte black). The light cream colors look ashy on my skin, the light green is just so unwearable, and I have yet to find out how to make the moss green shade work. The brushes included are a joke, honestly. They can used as an eyeliner brush or lip brush, however. I can get 8 hours of wear without  a primer, which is totally awesome since I have oily lids AND I live in Florida. The palette itself is beautiful with its sleek black design and intricate stencil drawings (I'm a sucker for anything black). Kat Von D's cosmetics line can only be found in Sephora. Next time, I'll purchase Kat Von D's (all matte!) eyeshadow palette in Ladybird.

I'll try to include the swatches later. Everything is so so  so busy >_<

But, for now...
