Review: By Lauren Luke My Sultry Blues Palette

I have been sat on the reviews for these palettes for a while, so I thought it was time I got on with them!


Here's My Sultry Blues. It's available from By Lauren Luke for £23.99 and there are 5 palettes available.


In each palette you get nearly everything you need to create a full look (aside from foundation & mascara!). Each palette is set up in the same way: 2 primers, black liner, large shadow, 2 smaller shadows, blush and 2 lip colours. I know some don't like cream products in with powder, but I do think there's enough empty space in the palette so that the worst of the powder should stay away from the creams.


-Nude Slip Primers - These just don't work for me. They're too creamy and oily for my lids, my eye shadow creases very quickly when using these primers.
-Continental - This looks like a very pretty cornflower blue with shimmer but it applies very sheerly, I really had to pack the colour on. Unfortunately this and the deeper blue tended to fade to grey throughout the day.
-Sapphire Night - A really deep blue with shimmer.
-Star Dust - Sparkley pale silver. Would make a really pretty highlighter.


-Wind Flush Blush - This is so pretty! It's a matte pink with a slightly brown undertone but it really does give me the "in from the cold" flush.
-Diamond Berry & Snow Berry Lip Colours - Follow on from the pink and brown undertones that the blusher has. Diamond Berry is sheer with some shimmer, Snow Berry is richer, a little more pigmented and a cream shade.
-Raven Black Liner - I'm not sure a black liner was the right shade to include with every kit, I think a shimmering Sapphire shade would have worked better. Also, there isn't an airtight seal and the top of this liner has started to dry. I had to dig into the liner to make these swatches. That said, it's still a very intense and pigmented black liner. It's quite a creamy liner so it can get a bit smudgy.

Here's a quick eye look using the palette:


In this I used the Continental on the lid, Sapphire Night on the bottom lash line and Star Dust as the highlight.
