I heard about this palette before it
first launched and I thought it looked pretty, but once it was available in the
UK, I decided not to buy it as it looks a lot like my other palettes. I only
decided to purchase it when I saw that it was on offer on BeautyBay.com. I got
it for £17.50 and I thought that they must be desperate to get rid of some
selling them off at that price!
It is a palette by Laura Lee, who is a
beauty influencer on YouTube and Laura Lee Los Angeles is her new beauty brand.
This is her first product and palette. I know her brand also did a
collaboration with ColourPop and she has just released her second palette
called Nudie Patootie and a few more products are due to launch soon (eyeliners
and liquid lipsticks). I actually don’t follow her, as she is not my cup of tea
but this doesn’t stop me from trying out her products, sometimes make-up is
just make-up after all!
The packaging is actually quite nice.
The outer carton is made out of card with a pink floral design all over it. The
palette is made out of cardboard and it has a glittery silver covering over it.
The glitter isn’t textured; it is like a vinyl covering. The brand logo is
stamped right in the middle. The logo is simple, yet sophisticated. Inside the
palette you get a small mirror, which is surrounded by cardboard with the same
floral print all over it as the outer carton.
You get ten 2g eyeshadows in three
different finishes; semi-matte/satin, matte and shimmer.
OKIE DOKIE - matte off white (SMS)
SCATTER BRAIN - pale gold shimmer (S)
BOMB DIGGITY - matte caramel (M)
CRAY CRAY - deep burnt matte orange (M)
REDONKULUS - copper shimmer (S)
QUIRKY - deep purple shimmer (S)
KOOKY - matte amaranth (M)
IN ONE EAR - burgundy shimmer (S)
OUT THE OTHER - plum shimmer (S)
ODD BALL - black shimmer (S)
The eyeshadows are all pressed powders
and they should be highly pigmented, whether used wet or dry and you should be
able to create a range of versatile looks from dark smoky to soft glamour. This
palette is also vegan and cruelty free.
This palette is actually quite good! I
do like the packaging and the quality is great. The eyeshadows are highly
pigmented, they are quite powdery because when you touch the shades with your
brush, it kicks back a lot of the powder, but I expect this with all
eyeshadows, powder ones anyway. They also blend very nicely too and I always
use eye primer. The shimmer ones are more intense when wet, but I got on fine
with them dry. My favourite shades are Scatter Brain and In One Ear. The only
issues I have are that the packaging design has nothing to do with cats or
pajamas. Outside is glittery, but inside is pink and floral. Also, the shades
and the shade names have nothing to with cats either. I am confused as to why
it is called Cats Pajamas. I am guessing that there is no theme other than it
was put together based on things Laura likes (particular colours, shiny things,
pink, floral patterns, cats and pajamas!). I also found it hard to create
versatile looks. That could just be the fact that I am still really an amateur
when it comes to creating make-up looks. I found it easy to create a bronzy and
neutral look, but to create a vampy look I feel like the shade range is lacking
for me. It is still a great palette, but I wouldn’t recommend it to a beginner.
I personally wouldn’t re-purchase this palette, but I am thinking about
purchasing the Nudie Patootie Palette, but I really don’t think I need another
neutral palette!
