I have to admit that when I first looked at the products I'm going to review today I was a little bit underwhelmed and wasn't quite sure how they were going to work out. The drugstore can be a little bit hit and miss when it comes to palettes and I was a little bit afraid that these were going to be the former, even though I was hoping for the latter. The Catrice x Eman Makeup Palettes*, featuring eyeshadow, highlighter and blush, ended up being sleeper hits for me and I'm SUPER excited for today's review.

I always say that I'm not going to buy any more highlighter palettes, I really do. But recently while I was looking at the displays of new CoverGirl products, I saw the CoverGirl TruBlend Super Stunner Highlighter Palette and I really couldn't resist. Until fairly recently, highlighter options in the drugstore were pretty slim - and pretty glittery - so I'm super excited to see some more options coming out because I'm always looking for drugstore products that rival my higher end products.

Recently, I got to blind test out some eyeshadow palettes and there was a very clear winner from where I was standing so I really wanted to share it with you guys once I was able to unwrap it and confirm what it really was - the Rimmel Magnif'eyes Spice Edition Palette*. The Magnif'eyes palettes have been out for a while, but I hadn't ever tried them out for reasons that I'll get into a little bit later in my review, but as soon as I saw the color selection in this palette I was completely in for trying it out.

When it was announced that Colourpop was going to be carried at Sephora, I was personally really curious about how that was going to work. As a Canadian, it can be a bit of a pain to get Colourpop products since the exchange rate is pretty steep at the moment and oftentimes we have to pay duties once the products arrive. That being said, I'm actually a huge fan of the brand and I think their formulas are overwhelmingly impressive, particularly for the price point, so I was hopeful about the Sephora launch. As we all know now, the launch has been pretty sparse, but they did release a couple of palettes that are exclusive to Sephora and as soon as I saw the Colourpop Semi-Precious Eyeshadow Palette, I absolutely had to have it so I ordered it on launch day at about 7am.

For my thoughts on this palette - plus a bit of a rant about this launch - keep reading!

Are there ever products that you stumble upon in a store and just have to have, even though you've really never seen or heard anything about them? Generally, I like to look up swatches and read reviews of higher end beauty products before I pick them up - which is why I'm rarely first on the review train with big new releases - but as soon as I saw the PÜR Cosmetics Soiree Diaries Eyeshadow Palette, I had to have it and it went home with me that day. 

So, how did it work out? Keep reading for my review and swatches!
