Well, anyways, I was very upset when the fall and wintery weather came to Charlottesville and I had to put away my spring and summer colors. Alas, the first palette, has not been used in well over two months because I believe them to be non-JP friendly colors in the winter.*
*Note: the colors in the first palette are just in my own personal opinion non wintery. They are more summer colors. If you happen to use any of the colors in the original palette now duriing the winter, by all means, go for it! I just don't believe that I could pull off the make up applying and make it seem season appropriate.
But YAY! :) Sephora came out with ANOTHER Color Palette! :) Which in my mind is a lot more conducive to fall and winter make up looks!
And it's PRETTY too! :) Who else is excited?! Mom knew to get this for me for Christmas (I actually bought it but that's just a technicality!). I also got this palette for my sister.
Let me proudly introduce you to Sephora's Brand Color Palette II for $24!

What this self proclaimed beauty guru has to say:
As much as I loved (still do!) the first palette, this one is my favorite right now. That may more than likely have to do with the fact that it's more 'wintery' in colors and color combos but still my fave!
Like the description says there are 36 eyeshadows, 12 lip colors, 3 blushes, and a bronzer. The palette has an extra two dollars tacked on to the price as compared to the original palette but I still think it's a steal for everything you are getting! So, as memory serves me correctly each item was 40 cents last time and now it's 46 cents per item in the palette. So really it's quite a deal.
I also LOVE the eyeshadow colors because they are very highly pigmented and are actually the new shadows that Sephora debuted earlier in the year (which may have to do with the price increase - just a thought). The shadows are darker in nature compared to the first edition, but they are still very beautiful in my opinion.
Can you believe there are over 10,000 combinations with this palette alone? Amazing! :) If you add that to the number of shadows, glosses, and blushes you already own then that number will soar!
I whole heartedly give this item five lipsticks out of five (my rating system).
