Hello folksickles, today I'm reviewing a palette that I am SO EXCITED to own, a palette from which looks colorful, neutral, a mix of both, metallic, matte, a mix of both... can be born! A palette featuring colors unique to my collection... Behold the Kat Von D 10-Year Anniversary Palette
Availability: This has been discontinued.
Would I buy this again?: No.
Notes: I think this is such a beautiful palette and is very versatile as well. As I've mentioned at the top this palette is super versatile, as you can see above. You can easily create a rainbow look but you can also do a soft pin-up situation, or even a smoky look. Personally I like layering the more "foil"-type shades over the matte shades for a fun twist. I really like this shade selection a lot.
I'll speak a bit about the packaging before I show you the shades - this comes in a metallic, finger-print magnet plastic/acrylic with gorgeous artwork from Ms. Kat Von D. I find that the case is somewhat difficult to open and I always have to fight with it.
I also have to tell you that each pan here is a .06 oz or 1.7g.

Without further ado, swatchfest!
Adele is described as a chocolate brown. I'd have to agree with that description and add on that it's somewhat cool-toned.
Malice is described as a vermilion red . This is true to its description, a warm matte red.
Ashley is described as a peachy orange. This is a really pretty warm, somewhat yellow-ish matte orange.
Gina is described as a mustard yellow. This is a very warm, matte, mustard yellow.
Egypt is described as a gold glimmer. I'd have to agree with the description here, it reminds me of a pressed, softer version of Sugarpill Chromalust in Goldilux.
Sylvia is described as a honey beige. I feel like that's such a perfect description for this shade, it's a very soft, warm beige with just a hint of a yellow undertone.
Lala is described as a olive green. The description here is pretty on-point.
Leafar is described as a emerald glimmer. The description here is pretty on-point.
Melanie is described as a rosy cream. This is a rosy off-white, it's a perfect highlight shade for me.
Alexandra is described as a rose gold glimmer. I'd say this has a warm orange base with an intense pink and gold micro-shimmer through it.
Nancy is described as a taupe mauve. I'd say this is a soft warm brown, kind of a muted milky cocoa shade.
Catherine² is described as a(n) orchid glimmer. This seems to have a dark aubergine base with a purple pearl and pink micro-shimmer. Not my favorite shade as I personally prefer purples that lean on the cool/violet side but it's got a pretty micro-shimmer nonetheless.
Kelly is described as a blue-brown glimmer. This is a red-brown with a GORGEOUS teal micro-shimmer through it. Very hardly is it that I like a blue-brown but I think this one is done perfectly.
Sarah is described as a cool greige. I'd say this is a heavily grayed taupe.
Carolyn is described as a muted teal. This is a smoky, slightly grayed teal.
Chad is described as a cobalt blue. I'd have to agree with that description.
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
Disclaimer: I purchased this myself.
