Enjoyed this one!

I received this palette as a gift awhile ago. I like the colors and the fact that some of them are shimmery and some are matte. They are very blendable as well. The colors stay true for most of the day if you use a primer underneath. I like this one quite a bit.

Nice palette

I like majority of the shades in this palette. My number 1 favourite is obviously “Holographic ”. All very wearable shades for everyday with a touch of holo. I absolutely hate the shade “9 Lives” though. It swatches and wears very bad. Kind of reminds me of lead in the pencil.

Great little palette

In my November Boxycharm I received an eyeshadow palette from Winky Lux called the Kitten Palette. I've never heard of this brand before so I was interested to see how it performed.

First off, let's address the packaging. It's pink and covered in kitten faces, well one kitten face, reproduced over and over with some flowers thrown in for good measure. Am I a fan of this packaging? No! I am not a cat lady and so am not drawn to the kitty look, but of course it's called the Kitten Palette, so I guess they can get away with that one.

The palette is made of cardboard, but feels sturdy and had a good, very strong magnetic clasp. I doubt very much that this would accidentally come open in your purse or makeup bag. The reverse of the palette has the names of the eyeshadows, as well as an ingredient list. Inside the palette are nine shadows in large pans, evenly spaced out from light at the top to the darker shades at the bottom.

The shades look really nice from the palette, but as I had never come across this brand before I was not expecting them to offer anything particularly great, especially as the palette was only valued at $25 USD. I thought that the brand name Winky Lux might be Asian, but it is in fact made in the USA. I should also say at this point that the palette is cruelty-free, paraben free and gluten free.

Having used this palette several times I can now admit that it has proved me wrong. These are really nice eyeshadows. They blend really nicely and are well pigmented and soft to use.

I love to use Dutchess as my base, then Cheshire for my crease and Romeo on the outer corner. If I feeling adventurous, Ill put some Holographic in the centre as a halo.

So, this palette has proved me wrong. It is a nice palette with nice shades that work well together. I would not hesitate to recommend this if these shades are what you are looking for. This is the nice thing about Boxycharm and other similar boxes. You get to try things you wouldn't normally have chosen.

Wonderful Palette

This is a fantastic palette!!! Nine great colours for anyone, to create basic to dramatic looks! I received it in my BoxyCharm. Packaging is super cute and would be great for traveling! Would purchase this and many more products from Winky Lux!

Super cute and versatile

A palette. Another freaking palette!!! I am so pleased by this. Firstly, the colours are really pretty and perfect for winter. Secondly, the packaging is super cute though it does lack a mirror. I did a couple of looks with the palette and then swatched it, so I have a pretty solid impression of it now. So, off the bat, I'll say I'm impressed with the formula, especially considering how affordable this palette is. The mattes aren't too sheer or chalky, and they apply pretty smoothly. The shimmers are pretty but I will say that they get chunky easily and may need some work for blending. You can really see the chunks in the browny bronze and gold shades. I like the colours that were included here. There's a light matte, a transition shade, and a couple of darker colours for deepening. The shimmers are pretty and make this palette pretty versatile.

I did two looks with this. The first was gold and plum. I had to play with the gorgeous gold shade, so it is the colour on the lid here. Next time I would use it wet and put it on a glitter glue I think, as I found it didn't have the umph I was expecting. Definitely use your fingers or a wet brush with the shimmers.

The shimmery pink shade on the top row was a nice surprise. It gave a really cool inner corner glow that I didn't expect. Dipping into these colours, I saw a lot of fallout. The palette got dirty pretty quickly. When applying, I ended up with quite a bit of fallout on my cheekbones and undereyes, especially with the darker mattes. Keep this in mind and maybe do your eyes first when using this. 
For the second one, the star of the show was the gorgeous duochrome pink/mint shade in the middle row. I used this all over the lid and LOVE it. One thing I noticed here, however, was that when I really packed that shade on, I ended up with literal chunks on my eyelid. I really had to blend things out to get them smooth again.
