BH Cosmetics Shaaanxo Palette

I had been lusting after the BH Cosmetics Shaaanxo palette ever since it was released. I follow Shaaanxo's YouTube account and I was wowed by the palette. Also, coming from BH Cosmetics, I knew it would be well in my budget.

 Taken from BH Cosmetics- "...Shaaanxo had hand-picked a mix of dynamic and down-to-earth shades that add up to a multitude of wearable looks that flatter a variety of skin tones."

I love the pale pink and white marble look packaging. Very pretty.


Open up one side and there is 9 eye shadow shades.



 The other side reveals the lipsticks.

With this double sided palette your eye shadow look and lipstick is covered. I appreciate the magnetic closure, not only does it make the palette secure, but also is easy to open so my nails are safe, lol.

I found that using these eye shadows, I don't need another palette to complete an eye look. Perfect transition, crease and outer v colours. There's also a nice selection of shimmery shades for the lid. The mattes are a little powdery, but are smooth and blend beautifully. The shimmers are nicely pigmented and apply well to the lid.

I was less excited about the lipstick palette side. Don't get me wrong, they are decent lipsticks. Nice and creamy with decent colour pay off. Lipstick palettes are just not my favourite. I much prefer a tube.

I love this palette! To be honest, I would prefer just the eye shadows. Thankfully, the eye shadows and lipsticks are packaged separately.

    I'm the same with lipsticks, I don't like the ones in pans. But those eyeshadows look amazing, though! xx

    I prefer lipsticks in a tube rather than a pan as well - it means having to use a lip brush & I'm lazy & forget about that lol. The eyeshadow palette colours are right up my alley though! (If only I didn't have other similar palettes...)

      I really need to start considering the palettes I have before purchasing others that contain similar colours, but I just can't help myself. Lol xx

    I hate lipsticks in palettes, I think it's just way too complicated to reapply the color. On the other hand, they eyeshadows look great. I love alll loooka you've created with it.

    Looks like another winner from bh - this company does eye shadows SO well, I still reach for my Take Me To Brazil palette at least once a week. Love your looks Indie - I'm not so keen on lip palettes either, but some of these pinks are GORGEOUS! XXX

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.
