I had not tried any Kat von D products at Sephora and this was my first purchase. I really hope this palette doesn't speak for the rest of the line because it's definitely a disappointment. It has really pretty colors in it but the quality is lacking. Sugar Skull is a shimmery highlight shade which works pretty well. I like it. Long Distance is a yellow/green color that is also pretty. The pigment doesn't last all day on me, but I can make it work. Same with the 3rd shadow, Snake Eyes, which is a lime green. But this is where any quality stops for me. The cream eyeshadow, Finland, is aqua and very pretty. Although it went on smoothly at first, it dried up very quickly and now goes on chunky. If I put another shadow over the cream it cakes up and looks awful. Prague is a matte plum which doesn't go on smoothly and does not blend very well at all. Galeano is a pretty pale lilac in the pan but disappears on my lid completely. No color payoff. Same with Rehab, a golden tan. The last shade, Sister, is a matte peach which also disappears on my skin. I use it to blend other shades. None of these shadows last very long and I find they have faded halfway through the day no matter which primer I use or how I pack it (over cream eyeshadow, etc.). I find it hard to use this palette alone without using colors from other palettes. The colors come out so sheer on me that there is no depth of color except for the dark plum shadow. Even for the cheap price I recommend skipping this one.

Smooth, silky eyeshadows! I love this palette a lot. The cream eyeshadow is weird, but I tend to have problems with cream eye shadows simply because my lids are a bit oily, even with primer. Sometimes I use it as a liner and it works pretty well but wears off quickly. I love the highlight colors the best; I use them the most. And the blackened merlot color is AWESOME. This was my first experience with KVD products and I do have to say that they're made very well and are high quality, especially for the price.

This was on sale at my Sephora for an insanly low sale prices, only 12 bucks CANADIAN! I hate the green colors andI find the purples and beige and dark purple to be nice colors. The lilac is very pretty but not my favorite lilac in my collection, as well as the shimmer beige one, and sugarskull. I don't ever use them because I always reach for Urban decay or Stila. But the quality of the eyeshadows surprised me! I compare them to Urban Decays shadows, so velvety and blendable and pigmented! With the except of the mate shadow. I thought I could use it has a blending shadow but it's to organgy and streaky.

I got this palette for $17 from Sephora, and it's worth every penny and then some. I already have KVD's True Love palette and don't find myself reaching for it much, so I was a bit skeptical of buying another one of her palettes, but the price was just too tempting to pass up.
The colors are beautiful, blendable pastel shades; unlike her True Love palette, they have almost no fallout, and the cream shadow doesn't dry up after a few uses. My only complaint is that the package itself feels and looks cheap -- cheaper than I would expect for a palette that originally cost $34 -- but the eyeshadows are a delight!

I love all of Kat Von D's cosmetics. This palette is perfect for spring and summer the colors are bright and fun. Not a huge fan of the cream shadow but the color is nice. I got it for $17 that is a sick deal for such a awesome palette.

Like with every Kat von D-palette, I love the quality of the colors. In this palette for example, the purples and soft rose colors are perfectly matched, so you can create a subtle smoky eye here, without the color black being involved, which is a nice change sometimes. I don't care too much for the green/turqouise side of the palette, but I use it sometimes with just a dab here and there, to fresh up a boring eye makeup. All in all, a verstatile palette I really like.

this was only 17$ on sephora and it has such cute spring/summer colors! however the only thing i dont like too much is that most of the colors are reallly shimmery/pearly and only 1 color is matte but its not very pgimented (the peachy color). however the greens are really nice, theyre light greens that are very wearable in the summer not a POP in ur face bright green . if u like greens this is definitely a good palette or if u jus lik nice spring colors
