Palette Appreciation- BH Cosmetics "Eyes On The 80s"

As mentioned in a previous post, I won a prize from the lovely Kat which featured an eye shadow palette with many beautiful bright colours. 
Eyes on the 80s is available from very affordable online store, BH Cosmetics. Their regular prices are very reasonable, but there is always a sale that can be taken advantage of. I have found that the products that I have purchased have been of rather decent quality. I am always tempted by their new releases.

 Anyway, how about some swatches??




I like that there's some neutrals included in this palette. These swatches were done on bare skin, with my fingers. A couple of the shadows needed a couple of swipes, but most of them are quite pigmented.

 It was so hard to decide on my first colour combo. I had so many ideas running through my head. and couldn't wait to start creating! 


My first look I opted for a simple one. I was going shopping, so didn't want to go crazy just yet, lol.

 An outing to the movies, I went for this smoky brown look.


 I love pinks!


Oh, and purple, too!


Getting more adventurous, lol.











Last pic, I promise! 

 I really enjoyed using this palette. You can see that it's possible to go from a simple look, to a bright, colourful look. 

 There are so so many colour combinations possible with BH Cosmetics "Eye on the 80s" palette. I did find that the bright matte shades apply better with my finger than a brush, not a problem when getting such wonderful colour pay off.

 Thanks so much for reading this post despite the many, many photos of my eyes! :)

    Aww hon what a treat! This palette was sealed so I didn't get a look at what was inside, but I LOVE it, and I love that you did the swatches - will have to order one for moi stat. Crikey it's so wonderful to see all the results of your playing - these looks are absolute STUNNERS, and it's not just the eyeshadows, it's what you DID with them! That last creation has blown me away - it's really quite exquisite darling, magnificently blended and you've inspired me to do some more eye shaping with my colours. Adore the orange/red one - it's a brave gal that uses these shades, but you pulled it off brilliantly. The blue/green/purple is straight out of a fashion mag - woo hoo, this is a joy to behold, and the eyeliner? Fab! I'm working my way up the page lol. The multicoloured pastel is just so pretty, and you and purple were made for each other. Love the pinks, and both neutrals, but that second smokey brown one - well who'd have thought they'd make your eyes pop so much? Gorgeous and ever so dreamy. Hon I've been MIA for weeks because my internet connection has been MIA for weeks (ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!), but it's back tonight, and I'm so excited to be able to drop by and see your amazing artistry. Well done my darling - and I'm thanking my Rafflecopter for being so clever as to choose you as the winner ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

      What a lovely comment, Kat. Thank you for your amazing feedback and compliments, it means a lot, especially coming from the colour queen herself. I'm so glad that you are back online. How frustrating for you. The internet is such a wonderful thing, when it's working!

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
