We all want glitter eye shadow this holiday season, but leave it to Kat Von D to think outside the box and release a matte option that doesn't need to be all shimmer to be fully fabulous. Friends, family, and shadow addicts, lend me your ears (and eyes): the brand is releasing a Metal Matte II Palette. And if that wasn't enough, there's also a mini, travel-size Metal Crush bundle coming soon, too.
It all started on Kat Von D Beauty's Instagram. The brand revealed that its founder is "currently working" on a successor to the crazy-popular, limited edition Metal Matte Palette of 2016 (pictured ahead) [3]. That epic offering included 21 powder shades. While the majority where matte, nine were shimmer options, and all were crazy pigmented. The bundle retailed for $60 and sold out in the blink of a (perfect, smoky) eye.
While we patiently wait for this palette to drop (the brand offered no release date and implied that Metal Matte II might not come for a while), Kat will also bless us with a mini Metal Crush Palette. We don't have a peek inside just yet, but Kat did #bless us all with a shot of the palette's packaging — and no big deal or anything, but it's holographic and rose gold.
Again, the brand was mum about timing; the Instagram's caption promised we'd get specifics like a launch date in a subsequent post. As we frantically refresh Kat's feed to get a glimpse of more information, we're going to start rethinking the whole "metallics for holiday" thing. Matte-lovers of the world, rejoice!
