   Great eyeshadows for a small palette. I bring it with me when I am travelling because it has versatile eyeshadows that transition well from two light shades for day time, and 1 medium and 1 dark shades for night time. For a pallette that only has 4 eyeshadow shades it’s pretty great for transition. I especially enjoy using the green shade because I find it goes well with my hazel eyes and it can be used for both day and night looks. The shadows apply well, have little to no fallout, and stay put all day with some primer under of course.

   I also love how it convienetly has a blush for when I’m on the go and don’t want to bring any extra make up with me. The blush is well pigmented, so only a light touch is needed.

   The packaging isn’t that great, I would prefer something made of plastic and not cardboard. I’m afraid it will get wet, and ruin the make up. The mirror (although small) is convenient.

   I like these eyeshadows. They blend well and the colors go pretty well together. I love the portability, and I like that they last me the day. Color payoff is not so great, even with primer, but I think the packaging is adorable and I like the magnetic close.These palettes are $4 at Sephora since they will be out of stock soon, so get ’em while they’re hot!

   These arte palettes are now $4 at sephora (though I think this one isn’t on the site anymore)

   I like the colors in here. My favorite is probably the shimmer on the top left, and despite having green and purple it’s a neutral palette great for Asians. I heard lots of good things about the blush but I’m not a blush person so I can’t say. The shadows are a bit sheet and blending can make them a bit muddy though.

   Its only $6 right now, such a steal! I bought the sandy in the city palette, makes the perfect neutral eye! I use the white colour as a base, then the shimmery chamagne colour over it. I pat the green colour in the middle of the lid, then the dark plum colour on the outer lid. I blend everything out, darken the outer lid with some more plum colour and whoosh, very sexy neutral/light smokey eye. Don’t forget the eyeliner! I gave it a 4 for fallout, the colours aren’t very pigmented, but they’re okay and with a base (I used UDPP), they will last for many hours (not over 8 hour day though my lids are oily). Blush is surprisingly pigmented, a little goes a long way. It is more pigmented then my tarte doll face. Overall good find, very easy doable eye with all the colours!

   This is 40% off right now, so this little gem of a palette was only $6. You can’t even get 4 eyeshadows and a blush at the drugstore for that price. This is really a great deal. Plus the eyeshadows and blush are great quality. Even though I have alot of makeup (a whole desk full), I couldn’t resist picking up these palettes. I love the convenience of having the eyeshadows and blush in one thin, easy to travel palette. It comes with a thin mirror on the lid inside. It’s made of thick cardboard.

   The eyeshadow colors are
   A matte shade like MAC brule, a bit lighter
   A beautiful, shimmery light taupe similar to Urban Decay Sidecar.
   A chameleon like greenish greyish shade – not at shimmery or frosty as the taupe shade.
   A deepen brownish plum similar to MAC Beauty Marked.

   I love how the colors are put together.

   The blush is a bright pigmented corally pink. (Much brighter and more pigmented than Benefit Bella Bamba.) It has a nice satin, glowy finish–not shimmery or frosty at all.

   This palette is PERFECT for people with Olive skin tones. As you can see in the picture, the top left golden color is BEAUTIFUL. All the colors are, every arte palette comes out with one pop of color, and since this palette is mostly neutral, the soft green was genius. All the shades are extremely pigmented, you only need a little and the blush shade will bring out the warm/beige/yellow undertone in anyone’s skin. The blusher is not too pink and not too coral, its the perfect shade. I also believe with the right hand, this palette could be amazing on just about anyone. I totally recommend, and for $10, its an unbeatable price. These palettes are designed for travel, so the slim size and adorable cartoon packaging are great for travel, I believe if any teen wants to start getting into department makeup, go for tokidoki, it’s cute, chic, fun, and AMAZING quality.
