Deck of Scarlet

The Latest From the Deck of Scarlet Palette Subscription Service: Edition No. 01

March 31st, 2017 by Karen 8 Comments

There’s something kinda 50 Shades about this, amiright?

I feel like this lady on the Deck of Scarlet No. 01 Edition palette is about to 50 Shades me…like her sole mission in life is to punish you and pleasure you at the same time. *cracks whip* ?

This is the latest palette from upstart beauty brand/makeup palette subscription service Deck of Scarlet. You pay $29.95 per month every other month, and get a different limited edition eye, cheek and lip palette with some pencils on the side, and if the combo for a particular month doesn’t do it for you, you can skip that one without having to pay for it.

The products are cruelty free, made in the USA, and you can only get them online.

The big twist, other than the whole palette subscription angle, is that every new palette is a different collaboration with a different popular vlogger.

This is their third one (ironically called No. 01), and it’s a collab with YouTuber Evon Wahab.

I really don’t know anything about her, but I looked her up on YouTube and saw the front of her channel page, and she’s really pretty.

The palette has three powder eyeshadows, a contouring powder, a highlighting powder, two lipsticks, a lip liner and an eye liner.

Honestly, I’m not into lipsticks that come in palettes, but I like the coral one here, Kiss the Coral. It’s a warm, satiny coral that feels fab.

I do like that the palettes have separate covers to keep the powders from mingling with the lip products, especially considering that the powder products like to scoot around, particularly the eyeshadows. I have to remember to tap off my brush, or I end up with lots of fallout.

The shadows remind me of NYX. They’re soft, pigmented and look intense in swatches, but they sheer out pretty quickly on lids. I think they’re good for blown-out smoky looks because they blend easily, but if I’m working quickly, the colors tend to all blend together. So they’re easy to over-blend.

Fresh Find: With Deck of Scarlet, You Get a New Palette Every Two Months for $29.95

December 12th, 2016 by Karen 13 Comments

New brand alert: Deck of Scarlet

As a beauty junkie, I realize that the last thing I “need” is another more limited edition palette…but does that ever stop anyone worth their weight in duochrome glitter shadow?? HELL NO.

Introducing Deck of Scarlet. They’re a new beauty palette delivery service — yup, you read that correctly. You sign up on their website, pay $29.95, and every other month, they send you a new limited edition palette designed by whomever is their current Artist in Chief (a.k.a popular YouTuber). The palettes are $29.95 each, and shipping is free.

If you’re ever just not into one of the palettes for whatever reason, you can skip that month, and you won’t be charged.

All of the makeup is cruelty-free, paraben-free and made in the USA.

The services only started in November, and their very first palette, Edition 00, is a collaboration with YouTuber Kelly Strack. It comes with three powder eyeshadows, a powder blush, a cream blush, two cream lip colors and two pencils (one eyeliner and one lip liner).

I haven’t worn this yet, but I’m really looking forward to it. The idea of a palette delivery service seems kind of awesome in a wacky way that probably only makeup lovers could fully appreciate.

From swatching the colors, the eyeshadows and powder blush feel softer than kitten paws… They’re so soft that when I went to swatch them, I almost accidentally took out a huge chunk out of the pan with my finger because, FYI, I’m the Hulk Smash of swatching!

The powder products, though, could stand to be a little finer. They remind me of NYX.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
