Kat Von D True Romance Eye Shadow Palette in Mi Vida Loca

Kat Von D has released a series of new products to Sephora this spring, starting with this eye shadow palette.  In addition to adding a new palette to her best-selling True Romance line, there will be a series of nail polishes and eye liners that will be coming out too.  We will start with the eye shadow palette since I am hearing that this will be the center of the new products and all the rest will be in shades to match those contained in this palette.  Kat Von D True Romance Eye Shadow Palettes are among some of the best quality available from the beauty industry today and are by fat the best product in her entire makeup range.  I have heard all kinds of mixed reviews on the rest of the line but I have rarely heard a bad review on any of these palettes, Ludwig still holds a prime spot in my traincase even though I have owned it for over three years at this point.

The newest addition to the True Romance Eye Shadow Palette line is named Mi Vida Loca and is the most colorful eye palette so far in this line.  The line started out by offering palettes that only created Kat's favorite look, the smoky eye.  Over the last year, she has been adding to this line, first introducing shades that would help to create a more colorful smoky eye and now she has released a palette that contains all bright hues.  This palette will be perfect for anyone that is looking to create a bright, funky eye makeup look this spring.  This palette is right on trend with many of the looks that we have been seeing all over the spring runways and I bet that it will sell out very quickly.

Sephora is the only retailed for the Kat Von D line and therefore I had to pull all the product details from their website.  "A palette of eight bright eye shadows and a mini eye liner for creating a variety of bold looks.  This collection from Kat Von D kicks off with eight stunning eye shadows and an on-the-go mini eyeliner, each in a daring shade that embraces the heritage of 80's neon colors.  The True Romance shadows are formulated with rich, long-lasting pigments that effortlessly blend and layer to create a variety of stunning looks.  The eyeliner has a creamy, waterproof formula that glides on smooth along the lash line for a bold result.  The sleek metal case is embossed with a hand-drawn design in a profusion of sassy, neon colors."  The name of this palette was inspired by the "Mi Vida Loca" tattoo that Kat Von D has on her back.
The eight eye shadows in this palette are as follows...

- Swan Song - iridescent pearl
- Marya - shimmery vanilla
- No Regrets - shimmery gold
- Drama For Yo Mama - shimmery kelly green
- Mad Max - matte sky blue
- Dublin - iridescent purple
- Sparklehorse - hot pink purple sparkle
- Altruism - pearl soft pink

The eyeliner is an electric blue shade named Wonderchild.  I love how Kat mixed up the brights in this palette, allowing all types of fun looks to be created.  Four of the hues are very colorful and the other four are more neutral (to tone them down I think), with the eyeliner being a very bright hue.  With the exception of Mad Max, I would use every single one of these shades this spring but since this isn't a type of look that I create very often, I would use through this palette very slowly and I can almost guarentee that I would never use the bright blue eyeliner hue. 

The selection of brights is great and the neutrals that are provided to blend with them are wonderful hues too.  I love this mixture of shades (except all the bright blues) and since I have been going crazy for pinks lately, I am very excited to see them well represented in this palette.  I have to check this palette out the next time that I go to Sephora and try out the hues in it.  Personally, I think that it makes more sense for me to buy one palette of brights rather than purchase single shadows in these hues since I may not wear very much after this spring/summer season.
