Hallo Beautyowls, Today's post is dedicated to the Bloom Palette by Natasha Denona. Honestly, I have had this palette for over a year now, and at first, I disliked this product. After a couple of tries, I considered it money down the drain, and I buried it at the bottom of my makeup drawer. Until a few weeks back, when I rediscovered the palette again and decided to give it once more a try. Packaging & Product

The Bloom comes in lovely packaging with a high-quality mirror and contains two creams and two powders. The creams have a protective transparent lid, which comes in pretty handy so they don't get mixed with any of the powders. The glow cream base and the blush are creams, and the dow glow and glow extreme are the powders in this collection. The colors are complementing each other and are within the pink, peach, and Bordeaux spectrum. The positives

What I liked about this palette was that I could create perfectly color-coordinated completed looks. The blush, I am also sometimes using as a lipstick and the highlighters as eyeshadows. The formulas are performing very nicely. I can easily layer powders and other creams on top of these products, and they stay put all day long. The not so much One of the reasons I didn't like this product so much initially was because I didn't find it an easy palette to work with. Also, the blush formula is super pigmented, and at the beginning, the first looks I created looked terrible. There was, for sure, a learning curve there, and it took me several tries until I found the right balance. I also didn't find it an easy and fast palette to work with. I found myself having to spend more time in the mornings to complete my looks. To me, the palette is also more seasonal and more appropriate for the spring and summer months, which limits its use. Conclusion Overall, I find the Bloom Palette a nice but not a must-have product. I will continue using it here and there, but I found that I could have spent the 55$ elsewhere. I am also not so sure if this would be the right product for beginners. If you love cream products, however, and love to create looks that are tone in tone, then the Bloom Palette by Natasha Denona is for you.

What it is:  The hydrating, velvety cream blush is designed to give your skin a healthy flush of colour. Glow Cream Base is a hydrating, luminous cream highlight with real crushed mineral pearls to give your skin the ultimate glow. Duo Glow is a multipurpose, duo-chrome highlighting powder with real, crushed, mineral duo-chrome pearls to give your skin a supernatural, shade-shifting glow. Extreme Glow is a multidimensional, sparkling, creamy powder highlight with a soft-focus, HD finish and a velvety-smooth texture.

There was a point in time where face palettes were an absolute waste of money but I can assure you that if 2018 was the year for eyeshadow palettes, 2019 is gonna be all about the complexion based products. I think this Bloom palette has taken the industry by storm with ND introducing cream blushes in that very RED shade. 

Everything about this palette is so well thought out, from the packaging to the shades to the formulas. The two cream products (glow cream base & cream blush) are protected by a plastic window, so you don’t have to worry about them getting mixed up with the fallout from the powder products. Talk about attention to detail and user-experience!

In terms of the formula, it is extremely pigmented, and I love that we’re given an option to choose between cream and powder. I think it’s a major plus point that the highlighters are well-matched to the blush that will users to get creative! I would highly recommend this palette to anyone from any skin tone because this will compliment most skin tones and leave you with a natural glow and flushed skin. 

A beautiful universal palette.
