Kylie Cosmetics: Take Me on Vacation Eyeshadow Palette Review

Camo packaging, polka dots and lots of bright colors- that's what you'll find in the new Kylie Cosmetics Take Me on a Vacation Kyshadow eyeshadow palette -- but what about the quality?

I put the palette to the test this past week, to see whether or not the sold out product is worth the hype. 

This is the first time I've ever used Kylie shadows, so I didn't really know what to expect. 

The palette has a great selection of 16 colors, from neutrals that can be used for an easy everyday look, to brighter hues such as the gorgeous turquoise shade (Island Girl), everyone can't get enough of, to sultry shades like the green shimmery color named surf board. 

While swatching the shadows, I noticed they felt very buttery and creamy, especially the shimmers. The mattes surprisingly also felt very smooth, which is hard to come by. 

I decided to do different looks for four days, to see how versatile the product can be. The result can be seen below. 

For the first day, I knew I had to incorporate Island girl in the look, so I chose to use this as my lid color. I began my look by using spray tan and sea breeze as my transition shades. They blend extremely well. I then darkened the crease by applying palm tree before putting island girl on my lid. Like many shimmers, I noticed the color needed a little Mac fix plus to amp up the color. I was satisfied with the overall look. I used Mac soft ochre as a primer and then set that with Sea Breeze. The eyeshadow literally lasted from day to night and did not have much fallout if any.

For the second day, I knew I wanted a bronzy eye look to match the 90 degree temps outside, so I knew I had to use sail away, a pretty bronzy shimmer on the lid, mixed with alittle summer 17. I used the same transition shades and added luxury, a deep brown, to deepen the crease. I used surfboard on my lower lash line to add a pop of color, and really like the way it turned out. 

The next look I did was a matte look, which I don't normally do, since I'm a shimmer and sparkle kind of gal. I used Starfish all over the lid and applied first class, sea breeze and on the rocks, as my transition. In my inner corner, I used pina colada, to add an unexpected touch. I also used a purple eyeliner from Urban Decay on the lash line to make the look more interesting. 

The fourth day was all about glam and sultry. I used Surfboard on my lid and palm tree and luxury as transition shades. I really love the way it came out and got so many compliments. 

Overall, I was really pleased with the Kyshadow palette and the overall quality. To me, this was a "good palette." I think the mattes are comparable to the Tarte Cosmetics quality. The shimmers on the other hand, need some help to really get the color payoff you see in the palette.  

I think it's perfect for summer and can be a staple for everyday looks. The palette will be back in stock shortly on the Kylie Cosmetics site, so if you're a makeup junkie, I recommend you purchase it.

Some of these shadow shades are very similar to Colourpop pressed shadows, and can maybe be found elsewhere. I personally like collecting different makeup, so I really wanted to give this a try and I'm glad I did.
