I have always been a fan of Kat Von D's makeup line because she typically delivers high quality products for a decent price. I've had some of her eyeshadow palettes for years and they continue to be some of my favorite and most used palettes. I've had this palette in Sinner (and Saint) on my wish list for quite a while so I was pretty excited when I finally decided to pick them up. Here are my thoughts...

Mini Puro Amor Black Autograph Pencil Eyeliner

Pros...

• amazing pigmentation
• rich, buttery texture
• smooth application (leaves a very smooth and even finish on the eye)
• good shade selection (for a variety of looks)
• includes multiple shadow finishes (including matte)
• durable tin compact includes a large mirror and a large trial size black eyeliner (great for travel)
• good price point for the amount and quality of these shadows (about $4.50 per shadow, plus an eyeliner)

Cons...

• I'm not a huge fan of the new tin packaging (though the tin case is good for protecting the shadows, I prefer the sleek, matte packaging design of her previous palettes)
• eyeliner was not very pigmented (appeared more charcoal on the eyes, rather than black

On The Eye...

"A smoky eye adds an instant air of mystery"

"Le smoky eye vous donne un air mysterieux"

Overall Review...
I'm loving this palette. It has quickly become my go-to palette for my night time outings. I love the pigmentation, finish, texture, and blendability of these shadows. Though I wouldn't say I saw a particular difference in the hydration of my eyelids, I will say that these shadows did leave a beautiful, smooth, soft finish to the eyes. I've used this palette in a number of ways to achieve different looks and I'm been completely happy with all of the results.

Would I Repurchase?
Yes.
