TeacupOfMakeup: By Terry Sun Designer Palette

Ahhh, the gorgeous By Terry. The creator of the brand Parisian beauty guru Terry de Gunzburg is also the creator of YSL' famous Touche Éclat Pen. She created it before starting her own brand.

Now she has come out with quite a stunning palette: The Sun Designer Palette

What is it?

This is palette really packs a punch in a slim case (15cm by 6cm by1cm). It comes with a lovely dark plum velvet slip case.

There are two varieties: 1. Tan and Flash Cruise and 2. Light and Tan Vibes.

I chose Tan and Flash Cruise because of the vibrant colours and different tones. You can see in the photo below that Light and Tan Vibes is fairly bleh.

Light and Tan Vibes

If you have fair skin (which I do), do not be put off by the Tan and Flash Cruise. The colours are easy to blend out and as you can see, gives more variation of tones than Light and Tan Vibes.

I purchased mine from Beautylish for US$82. They provide free express shipping.

What's good about it?

The colour selection. I love all of the colours. Their very pretty. Three blushes, a highlighter and two bronzers.

The pigmentation and staying power is great - about 7-8 hours wear on a normal busy day.

You can combine colours so easily, sweep across, sweep down, sweep up. It all produces very different variations.

How compact and well designed the entire palette is. I could travel with just this, a light base eye colour, foundation, concealer, mascara. I've tried the tan and lighter pink colours on the eyes and they look amazing.

The embossed design of the blushes and bronzers/highlight, makes this very attractive.

Unlike under pressed power products, this does not "kick" up too much access which is good given how expensive it it.

What's bad about it?

Except for the price point, NOTHING. Although, I do think that you are getting quality for your money with 6 different shades in one neat palette. So that's US$13.67 a shade.
