The blue palette filled the collection of colorful palettes. Unlike the previous palettes, this one has a plastic casing and a good mirror.
The palette consists of 9 refill pans, 1g each. 5 mattes and 4 metallics, one of them is truly iridescent.
The ingredients weren’t given on the palette but you can find them on the official site. If it’s important for you, I can say that almost all the shades contain talc.
I love colorful eyeshadows and the blue shades are never exceptions.
The blue colors aren’t so easy: they can simplify your appearance or blend out with patches.
I purchased this palette from the official site for $12.
When I was unpacking it, the first emotions were raving but then, something went wrong. Let’s find everything out together. I have to pack them in the swatches for the best payoff.
Lumi is a metallic shade with iridescent cool icy blue shift. It’s satin and easy to apply. For me, it seems to be one of the most interesting, even though I couldn’t tell it at first.
Da Ba Dee is matte. It’s said to be lapis blue. It reminds me of bell-flower.
Moonlite is matte baby blue.
Starry Eyed is matte sky blue.
Billie Jean is a metallic periwinkle. This one is also soft and satin. I can create awesome lights with it. Apply it with your finger for the best hold.
Tide Pool is metallic cerulean. Unbelievably beautiful disappointment. It’s possible to apply only with my finger yet still the color and gloss payoff isn’t the fullest. Some time later, it fades and I want to pack it more and more. I can get the maximum of it only if I wear it on a primer.
The final third with eyeshadows is the darkest and it feels like the driest of all.
Mad About U is metallic sapphire. It’s different from others and pretends to be more satin.
Fine China is a matte cobalt blue shade. It’s hard to apply because the shade is dry and crumbling. It blends into the blue smokey finish.
Clued In is a matte navy shade. This one is very dry. It blends into a messy finish.
In a word, the palette is mediocre: I mean it has it all - great shades and textures (I mean those 5 shades) as well as that unnecessary mumbo-jumbo.
You’ll have to pack, prime or apply them on a concealer to get the desired color payoff on your eyes. And never forget about a primer and thorough blending!
The matte shades are dusty and they may fall out when I apply them. The dark mattes are patchy and chunky. Yet, the palette still managed to surprise me. I mean, I can get the color from them. But in fact, the matte shades are still easier to apply with my finger rather than with a brush. I’ve tried all sorts of brushes, synthetic and natural too.
They stay on good with a primer but during the day, I still want to touch-up those accenting shades on my eyes because that vibrancy just disappears over time.
I can’t recommend it for purchasing. ColourPop has other more successful palettes in their collection.
If you love these shades and you want to tame this palette, go ahead!
