Huda Beauty Sapphire Obsessions Palette Review

Hello folksickles, today I'm reviewing a palette that I feel like I had to have. I mean I've always said if I ever bought a monotone palette of a shade it would be blue and how could Safyre not have a Sapphire palette? :P Behold the Huda Beauty Sapphire Obsessions Palette.
Availability: This particular palettes appears to have been discontinued.
Would I buy this again?: No.
Notes: This is a really beautiful selection of blues with super fun glitter shades that I personally really like. As with other palettes similar to this, I wish the shades had names. I also have to tell you that each pan here is a .05 oz or 1.3g.

Without further ado, swatchfest!
A soft matte navy-meets-royal-blue.
A bright shimmery dark blue.

A shimmery turquoise green with turquoise glitter.

A matte bright aqua blue.
A black loaded with blue turquoise glitter.
This is a mother-of-pearl shade with pink, gold, silver, and blue glitter.
A matte yellow chartreuse.
A matte royal blue. 
A shimmery deep Caribbean blue.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Huda Beauty Emerald Obsessions Palette Look

Hey folks, today I bring you a fun smoky green look.


Enough blabbering, tutorial time!
Products used: I applied YSL 5 Fuchsia Temptation Crème de Blush Cream Blush and blended it out with my knockoff beauty blender from Crown Brush. I also applied  Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Girly (with the same sponge I used for the blush) as a base for Sugarpill Wink  with my Sephora Collection #74 PRO Small Blush and Contour brush. 

As a base for my powder eyeshadows I applied the MAKE UP FOR EVER I-30 AQUA MATIC and blended it out with my Crown Pro C511 Brush


For the crease I applied the matte dirty olive along with the rich black with green pearl with my Sigma E40 Tapered Blending brush and Crown Pro C511 Brush, respectively. 

For the lid  I applied the pewter-y green shimmer with pewter glitter  using my  Crown Pro C510 Brush

To highlight the brow-bone and the inner corner of the eye I applied Kat Von D Melanie and the soft rich buttery gold with a slight hint of chartreuse using my no-name gigantic paddle brush from Crown and Crown Deluxe Precision Crease brush, respectively


For eyeliner, I went with the Clinique Pretty Easy Eyelining Pencreating a thing wing with it... for drama :P. For the waterline I applied Stila Peacock Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner. I somehow managed to forget to take photos of this. 


For the lower lash-line, I applied the matte cool-toned green and smudged it out with the matte mint green using my Bubbi Detail brush.


The look sans lashes. 


For lashes I used Ardell Faux Mink Lashes in #811 along with House of Lashes Brush-On Lash Glue in Clear.
For lips, I applied the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Ozone and topped it with YSL 5 Fuchsia Temptation Crème de Blush Cream Blush.

Hope that you liked this! :D It was super fun for me to put together! Feel free to request particular songs, animals/nature scenes (I don't do insects of any kind though, sorry, little insect feet and wings creep the bejesus outta me), Pokemon, or Pokemon towns. :P

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. 

Disclaimer: The Sephora 55.5 brush, Clinique, and Urban Decay products were provided for testing purposes; the YSL blush was gifted to me. I paid for everything else you see here myself.
