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.

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!
