Lemon Harvest Palette

Lemon Harvest Swatch
This is an aewsome palette for the fall. I'm a big fan of this yellow and the green. You can make beautiful looks with this palette. Silky, and vibrant in color. Some fallout will be expected, but if used lightly you won't have any. When doing a swatch of this palette I used a base in the smae shade and the color popped more than without a base. There's a bit of shimmer to the shadows which gives a great sparkle to your eyes & look.

I was so happy to see these cute 3 pan palettes at my local dollar tree and with so many to choose from had to start myself off with a few and see if they measured up. After looking at them, I found that they are pigmented and has fun shades for fall. These are well worth the $2 that I paid for these cuties. You can check them out at your local beauty supply store, dollare tree.

I was very happy y to see that my girl Antoinette started her own line and I was happy to have a chance  to play in a few shadows. As you can see from the pic above that they are pigmented with sparkles which gives off a very pretty shimmer effect. I have 3 of her cutest colors in my book.  She has a nice assortments of colors to choose from, as well as palettes.

To get a better feel of the colors I did a swatch test to see the pigmentation of the colors...and found that with a white base used the colors popped more vibrantly if wore alone. I had a blast playing with these pigments cause they are really great. Easy to blend, lasts for long period of time, no creasing if used with a primer or base. She really has out done herself with a wonderful line that looks to be on the rise.
JEM Palette
 This is a treat, cause I asked her to create a custom palette for me, and this is it!!! This palette is called...JEM! It's from the 80s cartoon. I'm a big fan and having a palette that's called Jem was a dream of mines and I now have it. The colors are really pretty & sparkly. I can't wait to play in this palette. She a great a soul, and I can't wait to see what more she's going to offer from this line. If you want to tryout KOK Cosmetics you can find her on facebook.

Profusion 24 Color Eyeshadow Palette

What more can one say about Profusion, again they come with a great jewel tone palette that's out this world (at least to me). With this 24 color palette you get some really cool, bold, bright and pigmented with such intense color and sparkle and shimmer I was really amazed at this palette. Unlike  their Ultimate Blockbuster 120 Extreme Sheer Eye Color Palette, which has sheer shadows and a few pigmented ones. This palette also has some sheeress to them all. You get a great color payoff. I use a base with these shadows and the color got more intense than without a base used. That's great when it comes to and eye shadow.

Profusion 24 Eyeshadow Swatch
I did a swatch of all 24 colors and they are awesome!!! I used NYX JESPs as bases for these shades and as you can see, they are truly a vision in all their vibrancy  glory!



I saw a few more of these palettes at my local beauty supply store and I will be purchasing more. This palette was a gift I won in a contest, and I must say, since I own a few palettes this makes a nice addition to my collection. It has a small mirror and applicator. If you like Profusion try out there palettes and see the beauty in these treasures of eye shadows. You can got to their website and have alook around and see all the different palettes and kits they have that are reasonable for any makeup lover. Or you can head to your nearest Walgreens and pick you up a palette or kit. Holidays coming,  makes a wonderful gift.

Absolute! Palettes Review


I found these cute inexpensive treasures in my local beauty supply store for $1.99 each, that's a great price for such a great palette. These palettes are perfect for any makeup collection while giving you excellent staying power. You can see from the colors that they are pigmented and comes in array of fun, bold shades. Let's take a closer look at both palettes.


 Paradise Palette is a nice summer kind of palette-  it has fun spring/summer colors that you can wear anytime. Pressed shadows that are great in pigment and has a smooth texture to me. You have 12 fabulous shades to choose from and you won't be disappointed.




Electro Palette is more of a neutral kind of palette with great fall colors. I like to add a bit of color to my fall looks, so this would be that palette to deliver the WOW! factor.


These are the swatches for  Paradise (left)  and  Electro (right)...both were used  with a base and no primer. As you can see they are bight and bold in shades, I use Nyx's jesp and WnW's Idol Eyes cream shadows as bases for these palettes, and I love what I see so far. 


I would highly recommend these to anyone whose looking for some fun palettes that's not heavy on the pockets as well. You'll really love these palettes and they have more styles & colors to choose from; which are fairly reasonable in price. For a great and cheap price, they are well worth the buy. So, run out to your local beauty supply store and pick yourself up a few. Great inexpensive holiday gift for the makeup enthusiast in your life.
