Worth The Hype? – Kat Von D Alchemist Palette

 The infamous little palette that hit Sephora stores in late December and quickly went out of stock is now back online! Is it worth the hype?

Allegedly, Kat Von D, well known tattoo artist and founder of the brand, took 7 years to perfect the formula. The product is completely vegan, cruelty free, and has recyclable and biodegradable components.

The palette contains 4 high pigment holographic powders with a unique light refracting formula. Like the triangular packaging implies, it is like a prism for your face. Kat got her inspiration for this palette from the concept of Alchemy, the magic of the Middle-Ages, to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

These Holographic shades can be used on the eyes, cheeks and lips for a lustrous luminosity, or used on top of other products as a finishing touch to transform your look.

Each shade in the palette is extremely pigmented and the application is very smooth and effortless. If you want a subtle pop of color to your look you can easily incorporate these shades by placing them on the inner corners of the eyes, center of the lids, tops of the cheekbones, and a touch on the cupid’s bow. Whether you are an avid makeup collector, or just looking for an easy way to spice up your look, I definitely suggest you add this palette to your collection.
