Make it a Blockbuster Night with the Sephora Ultimate Blockbuster Palette!

I'm often impressed by packaging. But to be completely overwhelmed and excited? It doesn't happen all that often. And the product that has totally stolen my heart? The Sephora Limited-Edition Ultimate Blockbuster Palette. Back at the Sephora Holiday Gift Giving Event in July, this palette caught my eye the second I walked into the room. It called out to me, begging to be taken home and made the most special item in my makeup collection.

Actually, palette isn't even the right word to discover this beautiful creature, because it's so much more. "Blockbuster" is quite an accurate descriptor, however. Because we're not just talking about a few eyeshadows and lipsticks here. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ALMOST 200 PRODUCTS PACKED INTO FOUR TIERS. Yes, you read that right. 200 PRODUCTS. And these products come in every shade of the rainbow. From pink to purple, red to orange, green to blue, brown to gray, every color in ROYGBIV (remember that from science class?) is covered here. Check out all that you'll get within this work of art:

71 eyeshadows
13 cream eyeshadows
5 blushes
1 compact powder
60 lipglosses
1 lip liner
1 eyeliner
4 brushes
3 sponge-tipped applicators

So I know what you're thinking. For all this amazingness inside a pretty black lacquered case, you must have to spend a pretty penny, right? Wrong! The entire palette only costs $48 on Sephora's website. Can you believe it? A veritable plethora of makeup options for you and it's so cheap, you could even get two and not break the bank. Your makeup dilemmas will surely be solved.
