Sephora Limited Edition Makeup Palette - Color Daze Blockbuster

I received an early Christmas present this week! My husband got me the Sephora Collection Color Daze Blockbuster Limited Edition Makeup Palette (he said I could open it early for a review and some other blogging stuffs and re-wrap it for Christmas, yay!), it's $49.50USD and it says it's a $370 value. I hate it when they say how much it's really worth, it's like no. No it is not worth $370 or else you would be selling it for $370. Duh. But it's still a huge palette with tons of stuff going on, so let's get started. And just so ya know, this is going to be seriously picture heavy.
 Disclaimer: I purchased this product with my own funds, I am not being paid or compensated by the company in question. My opinions are entirely my own.

As you can see it has lovely shiny packaging, pretty standard Sephora with some pretty little festive multicolored circles. Nothing fancy, but still appealing.

And here's the palette itself. It folds up into a cube and has a latch on the top which seems to be quite sturdy.

And t folds out like this. Honestly I'm pretty impressed with the amount of products I get for $50. The set contains (3) 3-in-1 luminizers, 6 eye top coats, 12 cream eyeliners, 42 bright eyeshadows, 22 neutral eyeshadows, 6 lip top coats, 48 lip glosses, (6) 3-in-1 eye, lip and cheek creams, and 3 blushes. So yeah, a ton of product. Not gonna lie, I was super stoked when I got this for Christmas.

And here's a close up of the left side which contains (going left to right here) the 3-in-1 luminizers, the eye top coats, the cream eyeliners, and the color eyeshadows.

3-in-1 luminizers

Here's a swatch of all three luminizers. There's a neutral, gold, and silver luminizer in this palette. All three are quite pretty, very shimmery, and they go on really creamy. I was so happy that these are nice as I have very little for luminzers in my makeup bag. I am particularly fond of the gold luminizer, it's just a really pretty shade of gold.

eye top coats

And the swatches of the eye top coats. the first three are really light and barely show up in the photo, they just add shimmer. I really like the deep charcoal color, I can't even describe it. It's just so perfect texture wise. It goes on smooth, soft and creamy all at the same time. But they all go on just fine, the darker colors would be great for a smoky eye, they seem to smudge just right for it, I'll post a smoky eye later using some of these.

cream eyeliners

 And the eyeliners. I loved them, seriously loved them. I swatched all of them here, and as you can see the colors are great. In all fairness the black liner is lacking, it's not like wow! that's black! It's just kinda weak. But the other colors. Wow the silver and the green. Like I am so excited to use these 2 colors specifically. They are soooooo creamy and pigmented and they are like high shine. The gold too, and the copper. Well pretty much all of the colors but the black are awesome like that (not all of them are high shine though) I just prefer the silver and green to the other colors. I was so pleased with the cream liners in this palette. Makes me want to buy the full size liners. Love this shit. For real.

color eyeshadows

Here are just a few random swatches from the colored eyeshadows. I didn't prime my arm or anything, and the colors went on smooth not chalky at all. I guess I wish the bright colors were more vibrant, but maybe with primer or if I applied the shadows wet they'd pop a little more.  There's a nice mix of matte and shimmer colors as well.

And here's the middle of the palette which contains the neutral shadows as well as 2 eyeshadow applicators and a mini lip brush. I haven't used the shadow applicators, but I did use the lip brush and it's iffy. It was really stiff when I took it out, like almost crunchy stiff. But after I had used it for a few swatches it became more manageable, and I actually kind of liked it for my lips.

neutral eyeshadows

Here's some swatches from the neutral shadows. Again there is a nice mix of shimmer and matte colors. The white is fabulous. It goes on super creamy and is really vibrant. I also really enjoy the matte browns, they're all pretty creamy and pigmented. Major win.

This is the right side of the palette and it contains the lip top coats, the lip glosses, the 3-in-1 eye, lip and cheek creams, and the blushes. I didn't bother to swatch the lip top coats, I tried one and it made for a really horrible swatch so I removed it.

lip glosses

These are some random swatches from the lip glosses. Some of the glosses seemed a little thin, but for the most part they are pretty nice. Most of them are really closer to lipsticks than glosses because they are super pigmented and more creamy less sticky. Lots of fun colors to play with. :)

3-in-1 eye, lip and cheek creams

I swatched all 6 of the multipurpose creams and they're all very creamy and seem to have appropriate pigmentation. The brassier colors I obviously won't be wearing on my face or lips, but they would make for awesome eyeshadow. Don't have much to say about these, they are what they say they are, nothing more nothing less.

blushes

These are the three blushes and they go on quite well. Very blendy and what not. All three seem to be on the more neutral/natural side which is probably a good thing as it makes it more versatile for a larger demographic, but I wish there would have been a brighter pink or peach or something. But they are good colors, just not very diverse.
Overall this palette is a great purchase for $49.50. There's a little bit of something for everyone in here and I would so recommend you pick this up before it's gone. Til next time!
