Kat Von D True Romance Eye Shadow Palette in Truth

If there is one product from the Kat Von D collection that is top notch and produces very few misses, it is her eye shadow palettes. The mascara was good but nothing amazing, I have been told the lipsticks are very oddly pigmented in some shades, but no one come up with anything against the True Romance Eye Shadow Palettes. I bought one of these palettes from the original product collection and am still using the product quite faithfully. One of Kat Von D's signature looks is the smoky eye so all of her eye palettes contain shades to create the look, the different shades make it appropriate for all seasons. This time of the year, she is releasing her palette that will create the lighter version of the look and this palette is just the product in her collection to do that.

 Kat Von D provides a quote about her palette, in addition to the usual product description for Sephora. She states that, "The illustration on the cover of this palette features a stylized pattern made up of vintage keys. 'The keys are displayed above my desk. I collect them because I love what they signify: romantic, classic, Victorian, antique, access to an old castle, fairy tales, or a secret compartment. Locks and keys fit together and symbolize love. A key feels like a special way to unlock what's otherwise forbidden...in the case of my palette it's about unlocking the soul and refining beauty.'"

"A smoky eye adds an instant air of mystery. Create your own or try a rocker chick look with this True Romance Eye Shadow Palette. Designed especially for Sephora by tattoo artist and reality television star Kat Von D, this artistic spectrum of shades brings a sense of edgy glam to your look", states the Sephora website about the palette.

 All of the shadows in the palette are the powder formula unless otherwise noted.

There are eight shades in this palette and here they are...

- Sugar Skull - vanilla
- Long Distance - citron -
 Snake Eyes - lime
- Finland - aqua (cream formula)
- Prague - plum
- Galeano - pale lilac
- Rehab - golden tan
- Sister - peach

I agree with this company that these are great shades for spring, they all are right on trend and they is a great variety in this palette which will appeal to tons of customers. But looking back on their description, I cann't really see how this palette could make much of a smoky look since the only really deep shade is the plum. however, I love the palette shades so much that I would certainly be willing to try to make the smoky eye with the plum and I won't be upset if it doesn't really work very well. I am really looking forward to working with the Galeano and Prague (lilac and plum shades) to make a purple eye this spring.
