Sephora Must-Have: Color To Go Red edition palette

Let me tell you, I'm sick of this no buy. It was really only supposed to be until BoS3 came out, which it did, today. So I'm in the clear from now on. Yesterday at Sephora, I wanted to get something small, and they had these cute little Color To Go palettes. I got the Red edition, but I also thought the other one was cute (the purple was similar to UD's Fishnets!), and I'll probably get it next time. I am a sucker for a set. And for only $15, I'm not exactly breakin' the bank here. I don't know why Sephora makeup gets such a bad rep- the 2 Sephora brand liners I have are great, my little face scrublet is great, and this set is great. I would say that although it's the same type of product as the Too Faced Glamour To Go set, the quality is actually better, and $5 less! It's about the same size as my Glamour To Go palette, but the lippies and blush pull out from the side instead of the bottom. Thanks Blogger for flipping my picture...do you see why I found this irresistible? Look at the great fall colors! The shadows are pretty and pigmented. The dark blue matte was kind of a PITA, in typical matte fashion. The blush is heavily swatched in those pictures, but even with just one swipe it's very pigmented (ie, easy to overdo it if you have lighter skin). I was really surprised at the pigmentation of the lippies, since most lippies in palettes tend to suck. Here's a smokey eye look I did today using the palette. My blush and lip color are also from the palette. If you are addicted to sets, like me, this one's a fall necessity!

  5. The colors of the shadows look gorgeous. I am surprised because usually when it comes to Sephora eye shadows, I never have too much luck with them or are impressed with them. Your eye look is beautiful!

  8. very cute indeed! I generally find that most palettes have a couple of gorgeous shades and then loads that are either just ok or a bit rubbish so the Sephora one looks great

    The top left lippy looks great thought I'm not too sure about the orangey one! :)

  9. This actually looks really awesome! I love the look of the lip colours, which is odd because I have this aversion to lip palettes XD

  12. @Painted Moogle: Me too, it really stands out against the rest of my palettes.

    @Cydonian: thanks! :)

    @...: It's a really nice color, but hard to work with if you're pretty light like I am.

    @kathyeffingjacobs: I am all about fall colors, but I am way too scared to try that orange lippie :P

    @Alina: I have a one of those Sephora sets that is a circle with four strips of eyeshadow, and the pigmentation is extremely bad, but it's great on this palette.

    @MissTat: Oh yeah, I forgot you WORK at a Sephora, you lucky duck! I would just swatch everything all day long... *blissful sigh*

    @Y: It's a great deal!

    @All Made Up: I'm not too sure about the orange on either >.>

    @SilhouetteScreams: lip palettes are generally so crappy, I agree.

    @Sarah: Thank you! :)

    @Olivia: thanks so much!
