Hello Kitty Head of the Class makeup palette

$36.00 for 4 x 0.07 oz eyeshadow and 0.34 oz blush

I love Hello Kitty. I love houndstooth. I love nerdy glasses. So when I saw this on clearance for $17 at my local Sephora inside JC Penney, AND I had the Beauty Insider coupon, I decided that I had to have it. 

None of the colors have names, but here are my descriptions:

Blush:
  • Warm coral with iridescent pink overspray. This is REALLY pigmented, so use a light hand. I just press my brush lightly onto the surface of the blush, then tap to remove the excess product before applying.

Eyeshadow:
  • Matte black with purple glitter. This color is very chalky.
  • Gunmetal grey shimmer. Smooth and pigmented, this color is the best in the palette, by far.
  • Matte fuschia. Really chalky, and not very flattering. 
  • Iridescent white. Fairly sheer, not much pigmentation.

Please excuse my dry chapped lips! EEK.
I strongly recommend using eye primer when using these shadows, to enhance the pigmentation and increase the length of wear. I didn't feel that these were very blendable, and it took a bit of effort to build up the pigmentation with the fuschia and black shades, even with primer. All of the products had some fallout. Picking up the product on a brush caused a lot of extra product to be stirred up. A sponge tip applicator might be better than a brush.


The good things about this palette: uh, it's super cute, obviously. Although it's a little bulky, there's a decent amount of product in there, and a mirror. 


Overall, the quality is not great on this palette. Even though I paid less than half price, and got to use a coupon on it, I still feel pretty disappointed. I've read some good reviews about other Hello Kitty palettes like this, so I won't write them off completely, but it's pretty unlikely I'll purchase another one.

The case is really cute. I like the blush and the grey. The fuschia color looks great on you!

Thank you! The blush is pretty although a smidge chalky. The fuschia color kind of scared me at first, and it took a lot of work to get the color to be that intense (it was so patchy).
