I ADORA Kat Von D




I just got my Kat Von D 'Adora' pallete. Or otherwise known as the 'Love and Fury' palette. I know, I'm a little behind on the release, but at least I got to add it to my collection. I pretty much have them all except for the purple one, 'True Love'. I hesitated on that one cause the colors in it looked so much like the others I already have. But....sigh.....I'll end up buying it anyways, cause I'm sure it wants to be with it's family. Plus, it would go so well with the new blog now ;)






As you can see, they all have been very good to me. And some have been in the toddlers hands and broken. These palettes break very easily, so I would suggest putting them somewhere where you know they won't bump into anything. I wouldn't put these palettes in a makeup bag. And for heaven's sake DON'T DROP THEM!!! Black eyeshadow EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Other than that, I love the pigments. The colors blend beautifully together. Very easy to work with. The creams that come with some palettes are something less to be desired. Although I haven't played with my new 'Adora' palette yet, which has 4 creams, they seem to be really flaky or they crease without fail, even if you have an eyeshadow primer on.

The colors in the palette are very unique, I am always getting compliments about the colors on my eye. Especially when I wear 'Hard Luck' in the 'Memento Mori' collection. That's the white palette with blue design. The color is a teal/green with gold sparkle. It has to be my favorite color so far! The names for the colors are to die for. In the new pallete there's "Ace of Spades", which reminds me of the song by Motorhead (Motorhead was one of the duo eyeshadow names). "Slayer" which is another awesome name. "Bloodletting" is pretty rad. Just a few that I like from 1 palette. There are so many. Will get into more detail when I do eye looks with them all.

Palette Names starting from top L to R:

Ludwig ~~~~~~ Metal Orchestra
Beethoven ~~~~~~ Gypsy
Memento Mori ~~~~~~ Adora/Love and Fury

The Vampire look is all the rage right now. I haven't gotten into the Twillights or whatever it is, but the looks are something I will always love. Doesn't look like Kim, does it?
