Kat Von D Rock n Roll Palette- A Sephora Beauty Insider 500 Point Perk

A few weeks ago I did a little bit of Sephora shopping. I don't go to the stores all too often because I am generally annoyed by being asked 10 times if I need help. Like a true introvert I prefer to shop online the only problem coming when I want to smell something so off to the store I went.  What I came away with was the Philosophy Pumpkin Spice Muffin 3-in-1, the MUFE Shadow that I gave away here, Juice Beauty Green Apple Nutrient Eye Cream, and a Smashbox HD Concealor. As my 500 point Beauty Insider Perk I received the Kat Von D Rock n Roll Palette which contained four colors and a small double ended brush in a mirrored compact. This is so far my favorite 500-point perk. I also have the Sephora Deluxe Palette from a few months ago but I never opened it. Anyways onto the review:



So here is what the box and palette look like:


The case is rubberized similarly to her full sized palettes and NARS compacts. The shades are listed on the back. The compact also has a mirror on the inside which is makes the compact quite heavy. It measures about 3 1/2" long by 2" wide.


From Left to Right: Believer, Confessional, Groupie, Motorhead

Believer and Motorhead both contain glitter. Nothing all too annoying but just so you know. Beside those two shades being glittery all the shades are also frosty/shimmery. They are good traveling colors. Easy to wear for daytime (using the first three shades) and you can switch to a nighttime look by incorporating the black. Overall I am happy to finally have a better quality Beauty Insider Perk.

Here are the swatches:

Notice how hardly noticable the glitter is!

I've added a few new shadows to my collection!

I've had these shadows for about a month now and I can honestly say that I love every color. Obviously by looking at the pictures you can tell that some colors are more wearable than others but generally speaking I think that I have a good mix of colors that I will love using. All but 3 of these are Matte the others are shimer. The Matte texture is amazing--way better than any other Matte's that I have tried. I will definitely purchase more of these in the future!
Right now at Sephora.com and participating Sephora stores, when you purchase 3 MUFE Shadows, Diamond Shadows or blushes you can get a free MUFE 10 Pan empty palette (that's how I got mine--with some back ups). The empty palette itself is a $20 value.
Do you have any MUFE favorites? Let me know below!
