You just have to love Sephora. Not only is this internationally known beauty boutique novel yet inventive, but it tends to introduce some of the most creative beauty products in the world today. One of the newest products is Sephora's Mini Shopping Bag Makeup Palette.
The Sephora Mini Shopping Bag Makeup Palette is a cute little palette that comes in the form of a Sephora shopping bag. It includes nine exquisite eye shadows, four lovely lip glosses and one beautiful blush. Recently, when shopping on sephora.com, I had the opportunity to discover this amazing Sephora addition.


PROS

When it comes to using a product, how important is the color payoff that is produced? The color payoff produced by the eyeshadows is modestly decent. The eyeshadows are not only pigmented but reasonably long-lasting too. I do not think the eyeshadows are of amazing quality, but they are far from terrible.
I have to admit, the lip glosses in this palette are somewhat pigmented but mainly sheer. They are visible, yet wearable. You can build color to a certain degree. The lip glosses are moisturizing, yet hydrating.
Although I am not a fan of blush, I have to acknowledge that this blush is fairly nice. It is pigmented and does not streak. The color is also natural looking, despite being more cool pink than neutral or warm.
The 14 individual products in Sephora's Mini Shopping Bag Makeup Palette create hundreds of looks. They also cater to just about every skin tone and skin type, making this fabulous Sephora addition gift worthy.

For only $15, you are getting a total of 14 products. If you look at each Sephora product individually in the Mini Shopping Bag Makeup Palette and do the math, it is a $50 value. You are saving $35, more than half of what the product is worth. If that isn't a deal, I don't know what is.


CONS

The lip glosses are fairly pigmented, but the color payoff is not incredibly visible. If you are a lip gloss connoisseur or a regular lip gloss fanatic, you may appreciate the lip glosses in this palette, but you will not love them.
It is incredibly small. The value is great though for Sephora products, so it is very hard to complain about that. But if you are expecting a big- or even regular-sized palette filled with 14 Sephora essentials for under $20, don't get your hopes up. This palette is small, kind of on the same wavelength as a travel-sized palette. In theory, you get what you pay for.


RATING - 87 %

You can purchase Sephora's Mini Shopping Bag Makeup Palette for $15 at your nearest Sephora. You can also purchase it from the official Sephora website sephora.com. Although it is a new item, it is a limited edition item so once it is gone, it is gone. Whether you are looking for a high-end stocking stuffer or even a last minute gift for under $20, you cannot go wrong. I think anyone who receives this will love it.
