EDUN for Sephora Palette - Harmony

"We carry the story of the people who make our clothes around with us... edun"
Beautiful isn't it?
So is this palette.



That phrase can be found printed on the strings that close the organic cotton pouch that holds this palette.
The palette is very simple but very pretty. It features six earth tone eyeshadows and one blush. It is contained in a natural wooden case with a sliding top and a magnetic closure. The shades itself are very neutral with some being matte and others shimmery.
A neat thing about this palette is that it's made with baobab oil from seeds harvested by hand by women in a village in Burkina Faso. This makes the shadows incredibly blend-able which I love!
It is also formulated without parabens, perfume, and talc. It is also allergen free.

Sephora's Makeup Palette To Go - BCA Edition

Has anyone ever asked you, what's your favorite color?
Chances are, all the time!
Well, my favorite color is pink, I looooooove pink!
Pink clothing, pink accessories, pink kitchen appliances....
Yes, I'm super obsessed, so when I see the chance of getting cute makeup in pink packaging, I jump at the opportunity.

That was the case with this little makeup palette. It is a travel friendly palette that includes eyeshadows, lipglosses and a blush.
Let's get the specs in order first. Straight from Sephora's description:

Too Faced Fun in the Dark Light-Up Mirror Make-Up Palette (Limited Edition)

After weeks (more like 1 week) of not buying anything from Sephora and almost going berserk, my boyfriend decided that it would be safer having me out of the house and getting something before I hurt him. So onto Sephora we went and boy was I happy. I felt happy again. It wasn't until this moment when I realized that I had been miserable. Oh boy...

Anyway, I didn't know where to start, I've collected so much makeup that I really don't need anything. So the search began for something unnecessary but totally cute and inexpensive if possible. After searching the whole store twice, I stopped by the Too Faced section. I've never tried this brand because it seemed like it was a bit expensive for my taste, and it wasn't like I didn't own a lot of stuff they were offering from other brands. Either way, he only thing in my little basket were my eye makeup remover and some benefit combo set thing that I put in there so that it looked like I was shopping a lot.

I really wanted to try something in a set but almost all the displays were sold out of them, that is until I saw the Too Faced Fun in Dark palette. At first I couldn't believe it. It's this little palette with four eyeshadows, a blush, a bronzer, a lip color, and a gloss. The detail on the palette was too cute, the cover has a super sexy pinup look to it of a gorgeous voluptuous girl with her lover getting romantic under a small light. When you open it up you can see that it has a nice big mirror decorated with leaves of some sort, and my favorite part, it has lights!

Yes, it has six little lights, three on the top, three on bottom to help you achieve that awesome look in the darkest place.

Sephora Collection Color Play - 5 in 1

Right off the bat I want to say that this is an amazing product. I mean holy cow!
Let's start by saying this: you can't beat the price for what you're getting here.

Right from Sephora's description of the product:

What it is:
A versatile eye, lip, and cheek set featuring five interchangeable color stories.

What it does:
Create a look to fit any mood or style with five sub-palettes, each of which fits easily into a conveniently portable compact. To switch color stories, just pop out the previous look and insert a new one. New Sephora Collection formulations provide long-lasting wear and excellent color payoff for seriously stunning results.

Each of the five sub-palettes contains:
- 10 x Eyeshadows
- 2 x Lip colors
- Blush

Did you see that? That's 50 eyeshadows, 10 lip colors, and 5 blushes! They've also named their palettes and made it so that colors in each palette can be worn together to create a foolproof look. To me that's a huge plus since I am still in the learning stages of makeup application. Anyway, being that this product has so much to offer and had such a small price tag, I thought that it was going to be a generic drugstore type with sheer colors. Kind of like those $20 dollar makeup cases from K-mart I saw years ago, but no! The colors are beautiful, very vibrant, and in my opinion, very pigmented. Some of the shadows are shimmery and some have glitter. I'm not much for blushes and I own tons of lip-glosses, so I got this just for the eyeshadows and I'm glad I did. Regardless, the blushes and lip colors in each palette do go with the shadows, so I guess depending on the mood you're in all you need is a little creativity and one of the palettes, or if you're adventurous just mix and match colors form all five of them!
Another little perk for me is the fact that I can pop out a palette from the big packaging and pop it in the little carrying case which has a nice long mirror too. To me that is essential since I don't like to carry too much make up around.
The only downside I suppose would be that it does not include and applicator. In my case it doesn't really matter because I use brushes and if you don't have a brush I suggest you get one.

So the bottom line is:
Great palette, awesome colors, excellent price.
I give it:

(5 out 5 lip-glosses)

I totally recommend you get it, you won't be disappointed I promise.

You can get this palette from Sephora and it will cost you $29.50
Here is a picture of what it looks like, sorry about the quality, I took it with my phone.
