How Much Is Kat Von D's Alchemist Palette?

by Rosie Narasaki

'Tis the season for awesome new makeup palettes... they're everywhere. This one's a little different though, and you're definitely going to want to get your hands on it when it hits shelves in December. So, how much is Kat Von D's Alchemist Palette?

Well, with its gorgeous iridescent case and its equally gorgeous iridescent four eyeshadows, Kat Von D's latest and greatest will retail for a tidy $32. It's more than worth it though, since each eyeshadow has basically as many functions as a 7-in-one BB cream. You see, the palette lives up to its alchemist moniker, what with its given its transformational properties: The four shadows, which come in (Green) Emerald, (Ultra-Violet) Amethyst, (Pink) Opal, and (Blue) Sapphire, are specially designed to be layered over other eyeshadows and lipsticks to create whole new shades. On Snapchat, Von D demonstrated swatches of the shadows layered over her pitch black Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Witches, and the results are pretty darn stunning — in fact, it's almost shocking just how different each swatch looks.

As if that weren't already enough, they can also be worn alone as highlighters, which is reason enough alone to give the palette a peek — because as highlighters go, these are absolutely gorgeous. Oh, and you saw how lovely the packaging is, right?

What do you think? Will you be lining up when the Alchemist Palette drops in December? The versatile shades and all that iridescent glory is certainly a fun and innovative new take on the highlighter trend that's been sweeping the nation.

Honestly, along with her upcoming Better Together collaboration with Too Faced, Kat Von D certainly has a lot to look forward to.

On the one hand, all these exciting new palettes can put quite the strain on our wallets. On the other, though? It definitely makes holiday shopping that much easier!
