BH Cosmetics Color Lock Matte Lipstick

Buying a makeup product because it has pretty packaging? I'm guilty as charged. This reason had a lot to do with my purchase of BH Cosmetics Color Lock Long Lasting Matte Lipsticks. That is a tongue twister! Admittedly, I did do a quick google search of these lipsticks to check out reviews and swatches. A common practice for me as most of my purchases are online and are of products that are sight unseen.

 Taken from BH Cosmetics- "Lock in the color of your lipstick with this rich and creamy long-wearing lipstick. Bold pigments stay in place all day while Shea butter nourish the skin for soft and beautiful lips."
Even the box looks purty!

The silver filigree design on the casing reminds me a little of Kat Von D packaging. The lipstick lid is a clear plastic that gives that satisfying click as it is securely closed. 

What makes these lipsticks different to any that I've tried, is that as they are twisted up, they click into place, too. I think this is actually a handy feature because there's no worry about the lipstick winding back down as you apply, which I have experienced in the past. 





Passionate- this shade has become my favourite purple lipstick!

 Look, the lipstick matches my watch!



Faithful


Blissful




True Heart





Devotion




Dark Rose





Rapture

 The bullets have a heavily slanted edge and because they are the average size in terms of diameter, I needed to take my time to apply, but that is because I'm not fantastic at keeping lipstick in the parameter of my lips, lol.

These lipsticks grip a little as you apply, but they are on the creamier side of a matte formula. Rubbing lips together is not a good idea, the formula is not quite that creamy, however I don't feel that they dry out my lips. 

Although there is some transfer, these matte lipsticks really do last and last. I didn't feel that I needed touching up even after eating and drinking. I got a good 7 hours wear, that's generally the length of time I wear makeup before cleansing my skin.

Such a great product for an affordable price!

Are you guilty of buying a product because of the pretty packaging, too?

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

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.
