Wanna see the makeup that I wore out on New Years Eve this year?
I wasn't going to post this yet as I'm not sure if I will upload the accompanying video or not.
BH Cosmetics sent me 3 palettes along with a brush set and eye/lip primer for review or tutorial, but they will be sponsoring my video so since the lighting on the tutorial that I have filmed for it turned out awful, I may have to film another one. I want it to be perfect before I upload it but I'll leave that 'til during the week, so for now I'll show some photo's and the product list, and if I do upload, it'll appear here in a couple of days time!!
(Mon 3rd Jan; It's a go :) Here's the video!! Enjoy, and again sorry about the poor lighting!!)
I went for a pink eyeshadow look, with classic liner, lashes and under-eye glitter to add a party element to the look. I used colours from the 120 BH Cosmetics Palette, 3rd edition. (See pics below of palette)
I can honestly say that these eyeshadows are impressive considering the inexpensive price tag of the palettes, and I have never even seen a 120 palette before in "real life" nor do I have any similar palettes to give me an idea of what to expect. I have heard mixed reviews on these types of palettes but never the less was delighted to be receiving them for consideration, and I am so happy that I did! I am well impressed by them and will have to ban myself from buying any more eyeshadows this year!!
Anyhu's, here's the 3rd edition 120 Palette.....
Top tray.....
Bottom Tray.....
It's a mixture of matte and shimmer eyeshadow colours and costs $34.95 which is .29c per shadow!!
This palette is new and is $5 more expensive than the previous 1st & 2nd editions, and is big enough in size at 9" x 6".
I'm not quite sure as to why it costs more than the others but I think it has something to do with the shadows having been reformulated. I haven't owned them long enough either to notice if there is much of a difference to warrant the price hike, but I personally think that either price is more than reasonable!
I will show the other palettes (1st edition 120 palette and 88 shimmer tropical), soon in a separate post and will also swatch some of my favourite colours from each so ye can see the colour pay-off for yourselves.
I was also sent the 10pc Deluxe Makeup Brush Set which comes in a wee black pouch and retails for $39.95 on the website.
I have only used them once so far and so haven't formed a solid opinion on them yet but they seem nice enough on first try. They are made up of a mixture of natural and synthetic fibres (Goat/Pony/Sable/Raccoon/ Taklon) and are full length brushes. I will probably do a review on these at a later date once I've had the chance to familiarise myself with them!!

Love what you did with your eyes,..
ReplyDeletei have this 120 Palette, but i don't think its similar with yours,..but yours is amazing,..

wish i could have the same 120 palette with yours,.=)
Aww Thanks:) Mine is available from BH Cosmetics if you're interested. What one do you own?? I'm sure most of them are the same!! xx
ReplyDeleteI am always eyeing these multi shadow palettes and haven't gotten any...yet. Love the pink and gold together!
ReplyDeleteIs BH Cosmetics do shipping in Philippines,.?
ReplyDeletewell, i got mine from an Online Shop here in the Philippines called Dollface Cosmetics,at www.swtangel.multiply.com,..
well,when i bought mine,it was in a Mark Down Price for some Eyeshadows are damaged, but since in her site, she have tutorials on how to fix damaged shadows,
i bought it because i want to use it for practising and experimenting new styles in applying shadows,.
So now, i'm looking for a New and also a Good Quality 120 Eyeshadow Palette to use.
As seen in your Video i think i would like to try one, same as yours, we don't know if in the pigments of the Shadows they might differ, and i would like to see the difference between the two palettes.
Thank You,.=),.Hope to see more Eye Tutorials,.
Thanks Tracy:) I wasn't bonkers about it at all until I added the Gold!! x

ReplyDeleteHey:)
I'm not sure if they ship to you but if you go onto the website I'm sure it'll say it there!
When I received it, it was very well packaged and came in perfect condition. I have seen other BH reviews where they say the same thing! Sure let me know anyhow if you do get them:) xx
Wow your eyes look Huge with that look. It's really nice. I was looking to get a brush set so let me know what you think of the BH ones!! Tho shipping to Ireland is as expensive as the brush set but not as expensive as 2 MAC brushes.
ReplyDeleteHi Paula!
ReplyDeleteShipping to Ireland is so overpriced by most companies it's so annoying!!
I'll definitely post a review at some stage:) x
You are a true artist. I love your tutorials; such a breath of fresh air.
ReplyDeleteThank you Austraeri ^_^ xx
