Sonia Kashuk Haul – 15th Anniversary Fall Lip Palette, Liquid Line Precision Marker, No. 27 Angled Brush

Up front, I am a sucker for lip palettes. One of my most vivid memories is of watching my grandmother touch up her lipstick after dinner by mixing together colors from a palette that she always kept tucked inside her purse. It seemed terribly sophisticated and the entire ritual fascinated me. As an adult, I now find myself drawn to palettes for three reasons: 1) they usually have a slot for a lipstick brush which is great because an accurate, precise brush application usually means that there is no need for lipliner; 2) Palettes provide the ability to mix colors together easily and; 3) There is something that makes me feel extra grown up about the whole thing.

I saw this Sonia Kashuk palette yesterday at Target and spent about 4 minutes staring at it before putting it back on the shelf. Today, I went back and bought it because I couldn’t stop thinking about the colors.

The case is reflective, gold-toned, and I’m a little concerned how it will stand up both in my purse and makeup bag. However, I do love the packaging and the interior mirror is a generous size.

The colors themselves are beautiful. There are five different shades of red inside and a lot of fantastic possibilities for mixing up the perfect red for any event. I’m not quite sure about the shape or quality of the lip brush and admit that I will likely use my Mac 316 mini brush from a different palette in its place.

And while scooting around Target, I also picked up two more Sonia Kashuk products.

So far, I really like the Liquid Line Precision Marker. I didn’t notice any flaking, which drives me up the wall, or fading and the application was easy and smooth.

I also grabbed a new eye liner brush for the days when I prefer gel or shadow liner after leaving my previous one in a hotel bathroom somewhere across the country. This isn’t my first Sonia Kashuk brush but the ones I already own are almost all blending brushes of some sort.

I like that the brush is synthetic and that the bristles are firm with just enough give. The shape of the brush is interesting too and was comfortable during application.

All in all, I am pretty happy with my Sonia Kashuk haul. So happy that I might go back to Target and look at some of the 15th Anniversary brush sets. I’ll let you know if I do!
