Jolie Beauty is one of my absolute favorite brands! If I lost all of my eyeshadow palettes, theirs would be the ones I rebought first. I’ve reviewed (and loved) their Til Death and Carnevil palettes but today we’re talking about the lovely Sirens.
The Sirens Palette is $49.00 and shipping for me from the UK was $13.00. I made my purchase during a sale and also used a discount code so I was able to totally offset the shipping price. The shipping time was EXTREMELY fast; I got my order within five days. My order was also packaged well. This has been my experience each time I’ve ordered from the brand.
This palette contains twenty eighty shades and there are a variety of formulas within it. There are: sixteen mattes, four metallics, two satins, two multichromes and four pressed glitters. It has cardboard packaging with a large mirror and a magnetic closure. Let’s get into the pros and cons!
Pros:
- This brand just absolutely kills their theming and packaging! I love the dark siren vibe🧜♀️
- Much like their Carnevil Palette, this color story is so FUN! It has a lot of bright colors but also those murky greens, that I love.
- The mattes were so easy to work with. Like both of the other palettes I’ve tried, they were less pigmented than I expected but not in a bad way. I was able to easily build them up and blend them out.
- The multichromes were simply gorgeous. Song has a blue to purple shift while Pearl has a blackened base with a bright green flip.
- The metallics were also beautiful. I wish this palette had more of these shades instead of the pressed glitters.
Cons:
- The shades Moonwalk/Odyssey and Floating/Ocean are way too similar on the eyes. In a palette this large, it’s hard to not have repeats but it’s still a bummer.
- I don’t feel this palette had any good metallics to go with the olive matte shades. In my look using them below, I had to pull in other shades from the Til Death Palette.
- I HATE pressed glitters. I’m glad that Jolie Beauty is moving away from them in newer palettes but I didn’t bother to even use these.
- I wish this palette had another, less lavender toned, shade for the inner corner.

Eyeshadow Looks:
I created four looks using this palette and had so much fun doing each one! For the first look, I did pull in shades from the Til Death Eyeshadow Palette. I don’t typically wear an eye primer but I do set my base.
- I blended Temptress into my inner crease.
- I blended Triton throughout my crease.
- I deepened my crease with Drowning and I also smudged it on my lower lash line.
- I lightly deepened my crease further with Kraken and applied it on my water line.

Final Thoughts:
Despite the few issues that I had, I still think this is such a beautiful palette and it’s absolutely perfect for summer. I still love the Til Death Palette the most simply because that color story is more my style and that palette doesn’t contain pressed glitters but if you’re wanting a colorful palette, this one is great. Let me know what you think about this palette and the looks I created. Thanks for reading!
