Hello again! I know I’m lagging behind on reviews, but I’ve just been enjoying spending quality time with my family since the Holidays that I just can’t stop. Anyways, our first review post of 2015 is Lime Crime Venus, a beautiful grunge chic (yes, there is such a thing!) eyeshadow palette. I can’t get enough of this since I received it for Christmas, so let’s take a look!!
The palette is GORGEOUS – the artwork is so beautiful and glamorous, and such a wonderful addition to my palette collection! I love how it looks like a book!
And, for a closer look at all the shades:
For my look, I used Shell as the eyelid base, then added Creation to the crease and ends of eyelids. Then softly added Muse to the edges. I love this palette and the way it is grungy yet chic. It is definitely a great example of the color of the year, Marsala, as well. The shades are JUST perfect if you want to follow the trend. I paired it with MAC Verve, a marsala-ish lipstick. It pairs really well together!
I found that the palette was quite pigmented, as I didn’t use any primer whatsoever and I got terrific color pay-off. The texture is finely milled yet buttery soft. There is a bit of fall out but that can be managed with a tap of the brush. I didn’t experience any fall out on my cheeks, which would definitely be a dealbreaker!
What do you think? Does this palette make your wishlist? Also, hat is from JollyChic.
Purchased by me. All opinions are honest and my own.

Wow, this is a gorgeous palette! I love that they used an altered detail of Boticelli’s Birth of Venus for their artwork! These colors look stunning on you!

A Marsala palette! I love the shades in that and a cranberry eye is the look for the season so this is perfecto. I love it. The packaging is so pretty that I’d want to leave it sitting out on the dressing table rather than store it away with the others.

I know next to nothing about makeup, so your blog’s always teaching me something new! I really love the eyeshadow and lip color combo that you’ve got here–it’s striking without being over the top. The packaging on that palette would have drawn me to it! So pretty! (Also, I really need that hat!)
January 10, 2015 at 12:32 pm
The makeup looks beautiful on you. I think many people took a break over the holidays. It is nice to enjoy time with the family.

I’m not super into the inside design of the product, but my that is a gorgeous cover! People don’t always use classic art, er, well but this is awesome.
