Bed Head is a professional line for hair products that includes beauty supplies as well.  You can only get your hands on these products if you know somebody who is a certified hair dresser or order them online.  In my case I ordered it off of Amazon.ca. I was introduced to this product by a friend when I was in high school.  She had put it on me and actually flattered myself very nicely.  So years later, I decided to buy it for my collection.

The packaging is pretty cute in pink.  It's magnetized and opens fairly easily yet is purse friendly and won't open up on its own. You get 4.5g shadow for around 20$CAD. 

The pigmentation is nothing less than amazing.  This swatch is done without primer and looks even better in person!  The finish is more of a metallic pearl. 

All-in-all I absolutely love this line of makeup and would like to get my hands on more colors.  It's definitely worth the price and purchase considering the ample amount of product you get from it. If I make a look that satisfies me I will post it on here as an example. If you have any questions feel free to ask us and we will try our best to help you!

 Ever since I bought this palette I have wanted to just dig into it but been stopping myself until I could get time to do a review on it, and now is the time because I just can't wait any longer.

Limited edition Kat Von D Chrysalis palette.

Apart from the packaging being absolutely amazing, I haven't tried any Kat Von D products before and have heard nothing but good things so I'm excited to try this out!

It's hard to get an accurate picture of what it looks like but this is the best I could do.  It's got little skulls on the butterfly's wings that just add to the edginess of it which I find really cool.

The back shows the color names.  I like that there's color names but I prefer it to be right beside the shadow.

It was hard getting a decent picture of the entire palette, this is the best I could do ok!! 

Let's head onto the swatches.

These are the highlights.
From bottom to top: Lucid
Lunar Lights
Lifelike.
The lightest one you can barely even tell it's there on my skintone.  I don't really use highlights but if I were to I'd probably be inclined to go for the middle one!

From bottom to top:  Tornay
Entombed
Graphic Nature
Black Milk
The first four colors!  I really like the middle two!

These are the last four colors.
Bottom to top in first picture:
Melancholia
Glasswing
Transition
Mezzanine
Hybrid Moments
My favorite color out of the entire palette is the chromatic silver one.  It is like its own little shape shifter..but with color!

Overall I absolutely love Kat Von D shadows! I am in LOVE. They are the creamiest shadows I've ever used, they go on so smoothly with no hassle and blend very well. I'll probably start using this as my go-to palette along with my Inglot colors.   One thing I did notice is that they are a little chalky but that's nothing that can't be fixed with a little patting and blending. I also noticed that in the making of the palette they put the names on the back so it's a constant hassle to figure out what name is what always flipping it back and forth-it's miniscule compared to the actual product but it all counts!
I'm going to be getting the other two palettes in this line because I love this one so much!

Sleek is a makeup brand which originated in the UK.  Famously known for its cheap prices with quality products.  

Let's start with the shipping.  I've gotta say, I am thoroughly unimpressed and pretty upset with the way it was handled.   I had ordered this for my birthday on November 17th and opted for the 15 day shipping option.  Shortly after I noticed a 20% discount so I emailed and asked about it and they replied quickly answering all of my questions.  I was satisfied with that encounter.  December 8th had came, it was the 15th business day and dangerously close to the Christmas rush.  Still no Sleek.  I emailed them yet again wondering where my package was.  They asked for my shipping details to track down my package, once that was sorted I was given an answer.

I then replied with:

Got this response:

Followed by a bunch of random coding.  The next 2 days I had gotten similar automatic e-mails from them saying the same thing with more coding.

'failed permanently' ???? WHAT IS THIS?   3 days later and I have yet to receive my items, AND I can't even contact customer service. I am not impressed in the least! 

 

I get yet again another automated response: 

Note that this is 1 day shy of a full month without receiving my package.  A few days later it had came, over a month later!

Because of this experience, I don't think I will be ordering sleek from their website again.

Another thing that really disappointed me was that some of the sleek packaging has really cool designs on them.  I thought I ordered 2 of the palettes that had the cool packaging on them.  Garden of Eden being one if not the palette that I had wanted the most, which has the designed package on the actual link.  Received them in just the normal paint splatter package.  The packaging was one of the main selling points for me, it is appealing to my eyes. I know the product is what really counts, but don't advertise that there is a different package and not send it with the purchase.

The back of the packaging has general instructions on how to apply and where, a little blurb on what is inside as well as the ingredients and their website. 

The actual palette itself is pretty nice looking, with a black polished case and a shine for the logo, Sleek.  Pretty smart to do it this way in my opinion, it looks sleek. 

Garden of Eden has a lot of earthy tones concentrating on greens.  I have been looking for a nice green shade palette for a while and decided to go with this one as there aren't very many green palettes around.  There is a matching sized mirror on the opposite end as well as an application brush.

Sleek shadows come with names, just not attached onto the palette which is one of my pet peeves. Considering the price of this, I figured it wasn't that big of a deal anyway. 

I swatched the bottom row for you guys.  From left to right is

Tree of Life

Fauna

Evergreen

Fig

Adam's Apple

Entwined

As you can tell, some of them are a hit and miss.  The ones with lesser pigmentation I would have to say are the Matte finishes.  But that's okay because I was never really a fan of Matte finished anyway. 

The top row swatched here and names are

Flora

Forbidden

Python

Paradise on Earth

Eye's Kiss

Gates of Eden

 Flora being the only Matte one on the top row actually turned out nice but a little chalky.  With a little bit of blending it can be used as a great brown. I will have to say that Forbidden is actually the least pigmented shadow out of the entire palette!

The second palette I got is Vintage Romance.  Again, it was supposed to come in fancy packaging but didn't.  This palette has a lot of purple colors which are great for a nice smoked out eye, along with some bright brown-gold like colors.

  

Let's keep with the pattern and start with the bottom row swatches first.  From left to right we have

Love in London

Forever in Florence

Bliss in Barcelona

Honeymoon in Hollywood

Marry in Monte Carlo

A Vow in Venice

Let me just start by wow! just look at the pigmentation this row pulls off.  Am I ever excited to try these out and implement them in my day-to-day routine.  Honeymoon in Hollywood is very chalky, and so pigmented.  A little will certainly go a long way with this color.  Use small amounts and build it up for the best results.

 

 Now for the top row, with more light and bright colors we will start from left to right again

Propose in Prague

Romance in Rome

Lost in LS

Court in Cannes

Meet in Madrid

Pretty in Paris

This top part has almost identical colors to one of my Inglot palettes. 

Overall, I really do like the pigmentation of 95% of these shadows so with that alone I would say it is worth the repurchase.  However, with the shipping experience I just don't think it's worth it especially from the Sleek website.  It really says something about their customer service.  Waiting over a month for something that should have been there way sooner is not acceptable. That and, I really wanted the awesome packaging. 

If I ever do decide to order Sleek again, I might try a third party website like Amazon or Ebay.

I've seen these palettes for quite some time and thought the packaging was so pretty but figured that it was just a gimmick to buy into the packaging for not so good quality.

So I was in Winners one day and seen this for a decent price of which I can't remember(lol oops) that I decided to pick it up and give it a try.

 As you can tell the packaging is cute and eye catching-which is how I think they get people to buy this specific eyeshadow palette.


The colors themselves aren't even that bad either, you could probably make a good eye with this palette easy enough.

My qualms with this palette is that some of the shadows aren't as pigmented as the rest and when you go to swatch them they lose their pigmentation and color. But I suppose you're going to find that in just about any brand or palette you purchase.  If you are to use this on a night out or even a day to day basis I would suggest using a primer beforehand to make the colors pop a little bit more, and possibly take it out with you if you're going to be out for any period of time just in case you need to touch up.
At the price that I paid for it the amount of shadows you get is phenomenal, my only concern is the pigmentation because why would you buy a nice color that has no pigmentation?
I actually have 2 blushes I believe from the same brand (Physicians Formula) and I have nothing bad to say about them so I would say that this brand is either a hit or miss, but that is generally what you get when you purchase drug store products.

Would I repurchase this again or even at the regular price? Probably not. But I would highly suggest this palette for youngsters just getting into makeup and practicing.
