Sephora Collection Mini Bag Makeup Palette

This was my first experience trying the Sephora brand makeup line, and I have to say I am super impressed! The Sephora Collection Mini Bag Makeup Palette is a wonderful product to carry around in your bag since it is so compact..it fits in the palm of your hand! With a magnetic casing, this palette features 9 gorgeous eye shadows, 4 lip glosses, and a blush. It also comes with a mirror.

The blush and lip glosses are hidden in the compartments on either side of the palette...you only need to pull them open from the bottom. These shades are a little shimmery, but nothing too distracting, which I really like.

The eye shadows are nicely pigmented, and the blush is really pretty and has a very natural, rosy tone. The lip glosses are nice and creamy.

The only downfall I see with this palette is that it doesn't comes with sponge applicators (for on-the-go purposes, they would have been useful).

Sephora claims that you can create over 196 looks with these 14 shades. Now I cannot attest to that, but you can definitely create many different looks ranging from natural, everyday looks to darker, smoky looks perfect for evenings out.

Here are the swatches for the eye shadows:

I love when brands come out with products that are all-in-one! I find them so convenient for travelling! What is you favorite makeup combination set?
