I was relieved when I saw this because I knew I would be saving a few coins 😅 No seriously speaking I was quite surprised because it comes across like palette bingo from their colour library …
Is this the beginning of the end for Beauty Bay? Was Smoky their high water mark? I have to admit, I'm usually eager for a new Beauty Bay release but the looks of their recent 20 pan limited editions have been Yawn Central...even for Daywalkers. Seriously. Still, you made it work. You look gorgeous! xox
I got mine today also and its a bit meh the shimmers (i only swatched three i think) and they were lovely x but i agree its not the usual colourstory from bb x i havent swatched the palette so am just taking what you said about the pans being dry and powdery x has the company changed hands? Or has the design team changed? Because even the celestial palette is still available which isnt normal for a limited edition palette to still be available after a few weeks they are normally gone x I like the looked you created x but think this is going to take wizardry to only use this one palette and look vibrant and cohesive x Well done Kerry x
I was so close to picking this up because I love a dreamy pastel theme with pinks n greens, but you’ve convinced me I don’t need it 🙏 super helpful video 💕
When I first saw this palette I thought the front was really pretty, then I got excited about purple, then green... Then I was a wee bit deflated and disappointed looking at it as a whole. I haven't picked this up, but I would normally pick up a limited edition beauty bay palette ☹️ I hoped reviews would change my mind
I’m kinda torn about getting this, because I like the idea of colours not being so overwhelming BUT……. to be honest I just think it looks like a poor relation to Cosmic Brushes The Lovers. And I picked up CB’s the minute it was released whilst pondering BB. May wait to see if this one lasts long enough to get reduced 💜
I should have known you would pick this one up! I don't know how i didn't see it coming. Lol. Yeah, the color story is not as intense as i would like. But I'm like you, i love depth!
I think Beauty Bay sometimes struggles with contrast. When they do well, there are deep, mid-tone, and light shades in both matte and shimmer. Sometimes, their color stories are so good, they get away with it, but other times, it just doesn’t work without a good range. This is one of those times. It needs more depth. It mostly leans a little too light/mid-tone. There are too many neutrals, and worse, too many very similar neutrals. And the green is off by itself. I was hoping for blue, pink, and purple pastels in mattes and shimmers with appropriate mid-tones and deep shades to complement. This is too light/mid and too muted. I collect these, so still buying, but less excited.
God damn. Disappointing. I actually really like the colour story but was like 'too similar to Love Notes' (which I love- unpopular opinion?) So didn't buy. Glad I didn't now!
love notes palette is my fave colour story. this feels like a good sister palette. i’m gonna pick this up!

As soon as I saw it I clocked the similar shades and paleness and was like what happened to BB!? Thanks for the honest review 😀

Lol same for me but I saw too many beige shades and thought okay it's for fair skin .😂🤷🏿♀️

I think I loved the old palette. It had more shades of purple and pink.
I’m glad I opted for the new Jolie Beauty palette instead of this!

Not crazy about the colors.
I am undecided about this.
A no makeup make up palette with a pop of colour. A was so disappointed.
I saved my pennies and did not go for this because of the multiple similar shades.
