Esperanza Eyeshadow Palette - Kat Von D

I've definitely heard about the Kat Von D tattoo liquid eyeliners, but I've never heard of any of their eyeshadow palettes. However, while browsing through Sephora's website, the new Esperanza Eyeshadow Palette from Kat Von D caught my eye. Besides the gorgeous packaging, the unique colors were really the winners for me. This is a fun palette, with some colors that you wouldn't normally use. It is very diverse, and can create different, fun looks.

Here is the amazing packaging. It is very fun, colorful, and eye-catching! 

Here are all of the colors. There are eight in all. 

This first color is a super shimmery purple color called Selena. This color is not too dark, and not too light. It is the perfect middle, and has an extra shimmer to it, which is a great plus. It's perfect to use for a party, when you want to try an alternative look instead of your usual black smokey eye, and want a more fun, youthful look. However, many reviews on Sephora said that this color has a bit of fallout. 

The next color, is called dayglo, and it is a beautiful shimmery vanilla color when you look at it in the palette. However, since it is a transformer shade, when you apply it onto your lids, it turns out to have a nice slight green tint to it. This is perfect as a base color, or even for highlighting the inner corners and brow bone. 

The next color is called galore, and when placed on the lid, it is light pink with a gold tint to it. It is very similar to the color rose gold, and it has a nice pearly finish to it.  I think this is a stunning color to apply to the lid, with a darker color blended in the outer v. 

The next color is called placebo, and it is a bright coral color, that has very nice pigmentation when applied to the lid. This is a perfect color for the spring and summer, and it's great if you want to have a pop of color in your makeup looks. Instead of going bright pink with your blush, try going bright pink with your eyeshadow!  It is overall a fun color to try out. 

This next color is a greenish grey with a hint of blue, and it is called Santeria. It is also a very shimmery color. I think this color is perfect for a dark smokey eye. It is very unique because it has a green tint, but will still help achieve an intense look, which is what a smokey eye is supposed to create. 

The next shade is one of the shades that I am most excited about. It is called archangel, and is a cool, minty green, light blue shade. It is a fun shade to use, and could go on the lower lash line with the color Santeria, which is right above. This might be a new color for many people, but I think they will enjoy this color, because you don't see it much as an eyeshadow color. 

The next color south, is a pinkish beige, and isn't really visible on the eyelids. That is why it's a good shade to use as a base, to cover up any veins or redness on the eyes. 

The final color is a shimmery bronze, and it is called dog roses. This color would be great in the outer v, with the color galore (the third color we looked at). It can also go with any light shimmery gold based color, especially rose golds. It is a nicely pigmented shadow color. 

Overall, this is a nice sized palette that would serve as a great present. Right now, it is priced at 36 dollars on the Sephora website. The packaging and color combination in this palette, is really what makes this palette unique and worth owning.
