A lot of people don't like Sephora brand. Its not bad but its also not great. All this is is sticking things in new packages with new names. People fall for it each time...So far I wasn't impressed. IMO If this didn't have her name on it no one would care. 5 years from now...no one will care. If you enjoy it go ahead and buy it...but it's just marketing hype. I give Sephora props for making a smart business deal that sells the makeup we'd otherwise dismiss as "store brand".

So I went to Sephora to check these colors out since I always love to swatch things out first on myself. Besides I'm not familiar at all with Sephora brand makeup ( for some reason I just never tried it before.) I'm disppoainted especially since the dark palette ( I think it's called Beethoven) colors are not as dark as they appear. They are more sheer than i expected. The colors are not that rich either. The gold color in the lighter palette is pretty but I have so many other colors like it. MAC, NARS and MUFE eyeshadows are much better.
The lipstick colors were pretty but once again I have better reds. Besides the reds were a bit too sheer for me too- I prefer my reds to be more matte.
So I didn't buy anything from this line and instead went right over to NARS and MUFE and blew loads of cash.

It is disapointing considering it's Sephora products but in Kat's packaging. I called the Sephora near me right now, and they said they put out the products on the floor today.
I might check it out tonight. Sephora's e/s are "okay"... I probably won't get the e/s palettes (I have bought 2 Sephora e/s in the past but didn't care too much about it... I cherish my Mac products waaayyyy more than Sephora products).

If it says Sephora collaborating with.....its always a Sephora product, which means several things: The packaging is cute. There will be a machine manufactured brush set (not pro quality), the eye shadows will be vivid, but anyone who has tried Sephora shadows finds them-even the individual ones and not the poorer quality palette variety, to be chalky. Sephora lipsticks while they come in great colours are thin in quality, like MAC's or Dior Addict, or Maybelline , you will like Sephora-the texture is very light, if you are into thick lipsticks like MUFE, Mercier, Longo, NARS, Chanel,sorry.
Some Sephora limited editions stick around,some are gone in a few months. If you take the product home and love it, you'd better stock up and lock it in an airproof truck with silica sachets.

wow thanks for the heads up about the rebranding Sephora brand. Ive not tried but I'll just wait as theres so much for me to get with MAC. It looked like fun packaging but I don't think I NEED any of it.

Ugh! I was so excited about this but now I'm not even going to bother since it's Sephora makeup. I went to Sephora today but all they had were the lipsticks. The lipstick quality seemed good when I swatched them but I really wanted the "Beethoven" palette. Til now that is....
I got so excited about this collaboration that I didn't even stop to reason with myself that it would be their makeup with her name on it. So disappointing.

How are the liquid liners?

I tested out all of this today. I must say, not a bad collection all in all. The shadows were pretty well pigmented and smooth, the liners were metallic and pretty, the lipsticks were semi matte and very creamy (if not limited in range of colors) and the brush set was decent quality. A more detailed review to come shortly

Just because the shadows may be Sephora brand doesn't mean a damn thing. Even then, one would expect more effort with a product that has a celeb's name plastered on it. Either way, I'll still buy the palettes, and even the lipstick in Lolita - the Ludwig palette will be great for school.

Actually it does mean a damn thing. The shadows are Sephora brand shadows. Not a new line as they lead you to believe. Just go on MUA and see the reviews of their shadows and lip products. You are paying more for Kat's line because of the packaging. Never in the description, on Sephora, are they telling you this. They are trying to trick you.
If you like the shadows (and many people do) and the packaging - great buy it. But I just want to make sure nobody on here will be duped by Sephora and Kat. At least now, the specktralites can make a informed decision on whether or not they will get this line.

Er....when you look on the Kat Von D page on the Sephora site, there's a "Sephora" printed just under the name of the cosmetics line. I think they're making the collaboration pretty clear. (Not to mention that in magazine articles, the collaboration is also talked about, as in the recent edition of Lucky.)

here is the blurb from sephora itself:
Created by Kat Von D, tattoo artist, reality-TV star, and owner of High Voltage Tattoo, this edgy color collection exemplifies old-Hollywood glamour with an L.A. vibe. As her gorgeous face leads on, Kat is as masterful with makeup as she is with a tattoo gun. (She can throw on a full, flawless face of makeup in 15 minutes, flat. Now that's on point.) Accordingly, her passion for makeup and self-expression is inked, so to speak, into every expert product she's created. From pin-up perfection to rocker chic, this limited-edition lineup allows you to tap into your bad-girl side and unleash your inner artist.
Nothing in theirs suggests Sephora is telling you that the they are using Sephora makeup brand. In fact, it's telling you the quite opposite. See the bold text above.
