Sample Beauty’s Blooming Lovely palette

I bought this from Beauty Bay during a big 50%-off sale in Spring of 2022. Beauty Bay had several "sets" of paired Sample Beauty palettes, and I had considered buying some of the other large palettes, but decided that with Blooming Lovely, I'd have all the palettes from Sample Beauty that I personally needed or wanted. Blooming Lovely was released in late Spring 2021, and was often called a "pastel" palette - probably because so many of the other Sample Beauty palettes were richer or deeper shades, with not many medium-light or softer shades. This 28-color palette is actually a good mix of brights, with more orange and yellow-toned colors than seen in other Sample Beauty palettes.

About a month after I received this palette, the Sample Beauty site seemed to have disappeared. It redirected to Beauty Bay, suggesting that the products were now only available through that retailer. In addition, founder Clo Blue's Instagram bio indicated that she'd sold the company at some point. Beauty Bay now lists only 10 palettes in total for Sample Beauty, so I think that the brand may effectively be dead.

This kit contained:

  • Row One: Pollen, Flowerlet, Above, Soil, Stigma, Atmosphere, Blossom
  • Row Two: Flourish, Oxygen, Bouquet, Petal, Hayfever, Occasion, Sepal
  • Row Three: Stem, Anther, Drooping, Sprouting, Periwinkle, Respiration, Poppy
  • Row Four: Posy, Cluster, Photosynthesis, Bulb, Water, Clay, Save the Bees
