FOTD Review: My Fierce Violets by Lauren Luke

I haven't posted a FOTD lately, but it's not that I haven't taken some pictures. I'll try to be better!

You can buy this set at Sephora for $37. I took advantage of the F&F sale to pick up two more of Lauren Luke's kits because I like My Sultry Blues so well (see below for those posts) -- My Fierce Violets and My Smokey Classics.

Here is Lauren Luke applying My Fierce Violets:

The kit includes:

- 2 blendable primers - Nude Slip Dark & Nude Slip Light [the same shades in each kit]
- 3 flattering eye colors - Crushed Lilac, Turkish Night & Porcelain Dust
- 1 defining eyeliner - Raven Black [the same in each kit]
- 1 contouring blush - Sepia Rose
- 2 luscious lip shades - Sheer Berry & Cherry Whip
- 1 My Glossy Lips lip gloss in Sheer [the same with each kit -- I like it a lot; one is now in my purse.]

I've tried this look on two days.
Here's my look today:
Primer: I blended the two shades together, and the color exactly matched my eyelids. I have tried each color alone at other times.
Lids: Lightest purple
Crease and dry lined: Deepest Purple
Tightlined: Black liner from palette.

LOTD: This is how my lips looked two days ago.
I think I forgot the gloss both days! I really like the gloss, so I have to put it with the palettes. You can see that it's a little lighter than it was today. Both days I applied the lighter shimmery shade in the middle of both lips, and the deeper shade on the outer corners.

I like
Her kits are heavily pigmented
It takes me a couple of days to figure out how much of each shade to use, because the colors are heavily pigmented. That's good. I like pigment!

The deepest violet shade is sparked with copper and is similar to a shade (Garnet Plum) I love from Aura Science, but the AS shade has the spark only on the top layer (just as the Milani ones do that I bought not too long ago.) It doesn't seem right to get your interest under false premises. Lauren Luke's looks like the spark goes all the way through.

The easy coordination of colors: A complete look
I like that all the colors that go together are together, for a complete look. I also feel it is easy to use other blush or lippies, so the kits are usuable in many ways.

Have you tried this palette? or any of her other palettes?
Do you have a favorite?
