Kat Von D palette

So based on a recomendation i purchased my first kat von d palette. I got the one with all the purples in it. First of all, the packaging is just beautiful. I almost saved it. It comes in this awesome little envelope box and also has this great tissue paper wrapped around it.
This weekend i created a look solely with that palette and loved it. The colors are vibrant and long lasting(note-i was using a primer)
I would recomend this palette to anyone, but not as a very first palette.
As a side note, there is a cream shadow in it that has received a lot of negative reviews because of drying out. I haven't used the color yet, but i am concerned.

Sometimes it's so good, you gotta have more than one...

And that is totally the case with my rosebud strawberry lip balm. I ordered a second one, which I'll keep in my desk at work. I'm tellin ya, that stuff is amazing!
