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

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.

The left side of the Edition 00 palette has a separate cover to protect the lip products

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.

Inside the box…

Le box…

I appreciate that the cream lip products on the left have their own separate flap to keep them from corrupting the powder products on the right. That’s a nice touch, but I think it’s a little odd that in the section with the powders, there’s a huge pan of cream blush on the lower right, sooo you’ll still end up with powder in your cream anyway. Hmm…

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
