Jeffree Star Blue Bloods Dupes

Blue is one of my favorite colors.  I love popping on a bit of blue eyeshadow.  I've probably mentioned this before, but I love coordinating my eyeshadow to match what I'm wearing and I wear a lot of blue.

When I heard Jeffree Star was releasing a collection of blue eyeshadows, I was excited.  Then, I saw the palette.  Honestly, only about half the shadows could be considered blue and the palette is $52.  I'm not going to use it that much.  So, here are some cheaper alternatives, most of which I own.  So if you want the blue without parting with too much doe, look no further.
Revolution Forever Flawless Ice
Revolution Forever Flawless Ice Palette ($15)

At first glance, this $15 might be mistaken for the Blue Bloods palette.  This palette has some overlap, but it isn't exactly the same.  I actually like the colors in this palette better.  It's one of the few palettes on this list that I don't actually own, but I kind of want it.

Kara Beauty Smokey Blue Eyeshadow Palette
Kara Beauty ES22 Smokey Blue Eyeshadow Palette ($25)

This was the first blue palette that I bought.  I actually got this one for Christmas.  I really like this palette.  It's all matte shades and do prefer shimmers.  This blue palette is part of a set of 4.  The other three are neutral toned palettes.  You can get all four palettes as a set for a reduced rate, but the link above takes you to the link for the palette pictured above.
LA Colors Blue Denim
LA Colors Blue Denim ($3)

These shadows are blue and blue-gray shades.  This tiny palette has a lot of power.  You can mix these shadows together to get a variety of different tones.  This palette is also completely matte.  The darker shadows can be a little stiff and difficult to use, but it isn't unusable.  I would definitely repurchase this palette again.  It is well worth the price tag.

Note:  I purchased this from Dollar General.  I think I paid about $1.50.  The $3 price is pulled from the official website.

Colourpop Blue Moon Palette
Colourpop Blue Moon Palette ($12)

This is my latest addition to my palette collection.  I haven't gotten to use all the colors yet, but I look forward to get all of them.  I love these colors and the price tag is incredibly great.  The shadows are great quality and I found them easy to work with.

BH Cosmetics Mini Zodiac: Aquarius

This has a mix of blues and neutrals.  It also has a mix of mattes and shimmers.  I don't own this palette, but I do have a lot of palettes from BH cosmetics.  I like BH.  I think they make good quality makeup for a great price.  They often have sales, so you probably won't end up having to spend full price.  This palette is pretty, but I don't think I need this on top of all the other palettes I have.
