theBalm Nude Tude eyeshadow palette
This palette is one of the sexiest pallete of theBalm and mostly consists of beautiful shimmer shades, but there are 4 matte shades in this palette too (Sultry, Sexy, Serious, Sleek). And the rest are all shimmer (Sassy, Stubborn, Selfish, Sophisticated, Snobby,Stand-offish, Seductive, Silly). These eyeshadows are incredibly soft & they’re definitely ones that you can’t bang around in the bottom of your bag because they WILL break. The colors are perfect and very pigmented. Although, the first three shimmer shade (Sassy, Stubborn, Selfish) are not that pigmented on my skin. But the rest are very very pigmented and really had a good colors especially the last dark ones (Sexy, Serious, Silly, Sleek). This palette blend like a dream and last all day. you can get multiple looks with this versitle palette.

Makeup Geek eyeshadows
I have two makeup makeup geek eyeshadows that I got on my March BoxyCharm. I have mine on the shade of Cosmpolitan and Cocoa Bear. So far I haven't used them but as I swatch them on my hand I can say that these two are very pigmented. I just can't find myself reaching for it because I have those colors already on my other eyeshadow palettes. Cosmopolitan is described as a "rose gold with gold flecks and a shimmery finish." It's a medium, rose-tinged copper with a golden orange sheen and frost finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a lightly powdery, drier consistency that looked somewhat faded on the lid without a good base in place. It started to fade after seven and a half hours of wear. As far as I know Cosmopolitan is on Manny Mua eyeshadow palette. Cocoa Bear Eyeshadow is described as a "matte reddish brown." It's a medium-dark, red-toned brown with a matte finish. The pigmentation was excellent–really rich and opaque–while the texture was soft, smooth, and velvety.

In theBalm of your Hand face palette
I am totally a huge fan of theBalm cosmetics because of their unique makeup classy packaging. It is fun, flirty and always performs well. theBalm just released this face palette which I believe is their holiday edition palette. I'm not sure if it's still available on their store but you can still purchase it online. My husband purchased this for me online because when we saw this on store it was already out of stock so he just decided to purchased it online. This is what some may call palette perfection and houses what theBalm considers to be their greatest hits Vol. 1 which contains their most best selling products of all time. It has 3 blush, one bronzer, 4 eyeshadows, 1 highlight and a 2 lip and cheek cream lipsticks. This palette is really god for traveling because all you need is already in one palette. theBalm is so good to come up with this lovely idea.

Ariel Dare to Dream Beauty Book
I was watching YouTube when I saw this palette and found out that Disney came out with a makeup collection that sells in Walgreens, I was thrilled and had to have some of the items but unfortunately it was limited editiona and when I discovered about this, it was no longer available anymore. So my husband purchased this online for me as a gift becasue I really want it very badly. This collection of Beauty Books is slightly different from the usual Beauty Books Disney brings out in collaboration with elf, there are many similarities, like the book form, the included tutorials, the included mirror and the broad range of products, but the art work is much more elaborate and artsy in this very collection. The artwork is done in a watercolor style, which looks exceptionally pretty and it has dogged details, wich sets it apart form the usual Beauty Books and makes them stand out. I like all the unique colors in this palette they are all gorgeous especially the Oceanid, Gizmos and Thingamabobs but my favorite is the Sanrblatt it is a brown shade with a glitter on it and it is very gorgeous on the creast.

Cinderella Ready for the Ball palete
This palette is part of Disney limited edition too so I got mine in Amazon and I was shock how big it was. When I took it out of the box it was still pretty big looks like almost 10 inches. If you expecting a little palette this is not it but if you love big eyeshadows palettes you will like this. So lets get into the design/art work on the cover is beautiful and will be a nice to display. The detail in corners of the palette is so cool in that there is fairy god mother and pumpkin carriage too and of course the big side profile of Cinderella. In this eyeshadow palette its a variety of finishes and the colors range from blues, grays, pinks, golds, and browns which keep in the theme of Cinderella. All the colors in this palette are very pigmented. I really like the matte colors but the shimmery are pretty good too. The only thing is, the metalic ones have so much glitter on top of it but when you used the metalic ones, even just once you will notice that it doesn't have that much glitters anymore. Just the very top base have so much glitters but still pretty when you apply it.

theBalm Rockstar Palette
TheBalm released this Rockstar palette which I believe is a limited edition too. This palette contains with 12 eyeshadow colors, 1 highlight, 1 blush and 2 lip creams. It has 8 shimmery eyeshadows (Metal-ica, Blink 182, Iron Maid-in, The Stroke, Lead Zeppelin, Rem, Alice Cooper, Third Eye Blinded) and 4 matte eyeshadows (Andagio, Allegro, Moderato, Presto). It’s a good palette, and at the price point, worth checking out and potentially snagging. There were a few shades on the powdery side in the palette, and a couple were less pigmented initially, but when applied to the eye, I found them to apply much, much better. There’s a good mix of textures–matte, frosts, shimmers–and very fall-appropriate colors.

Essence Quattro Eyeshadow
This palette is pretty much a basic, simple, neutral and everyday palette for basic, neutral or lazy girls like me. It’s just going to add a subtle color to your lids to make you look more awake, nothing too crazy. It’s got a silky, kind of soft texture. The shades are all pretty much matte and it’s actually a little chalky but there wasn’t any fallout issue. I’ve got to say that this palette’s pigmentation is pretty alright. I wouldn’t say that it’s super pigmented but the pigmentation isn’t crap. The colors are pretty noticeable even in single swatch, for more intense look the colours are totally buildable. They go on really smoothly and blending is pretty easy too, it doesn’t take much effort to blend the shadows.
