I know I'm super duper late on this train, but I FINALLY got my hands on the BH Cosmetics collaboration with Carli Bybel eyeshadow and highlighter palette!!!
I ordered it last week, and it came in the mail yesterday!! And it's just SO beautiful!! And super inexpensive, too! It's $12.50USD on the website, and shipping was only $5USD! So with the exchange, it only came to around $22! Which is incredibly reasonable considering what is all in this palette!
There are 10 eyeshadows and 4 highlighters, which can double as eyeshadows. The total weight is 47.6 grams, or 1.68 ounces. It's very lightweight, so it's perfect for travel. It has a magnetic closure, and a decent sized mirror (a good quality mirror, too; not one of those circus mirrors you sometimes see inside inexpensive palettes). The front of the palette looks like a gorgeous tufted pillow and has her name written in reflective silver. The back of the palette gives an ingredients list as well as a little excerpt about why Carli made this palette.
The shadows and highlighters are mostly warm toned, which is directly up my alley when it comes to those types of powders. The shadows are about the size of a nickel, and the highlighters are about the size of a silver dollar (for those of you who know what a silver dollar is hahaha), and have an intricate flower imprint on each of them.
And now time for swatches!
First row:
Second row:
Highlighters:
They're nicely pigmented for the most part. I can obviously only use the first 2 highlight shades as actual highlighters. The last 2 shades I will use as eyeshadows. The second shade in the top row (soft pink) is probably the least pigmented shade in this whole palette, but if I spray a little fix + by Mac on my brush before using it, more pigment shows.
All in all this palette is a definite must if you like these kinds of shades and actually unbeatable for the price. Even with the exchange (which is going up in favour of Canadians lately).
That's all for today!!
Thanks for reading!!
Bye bye :):)
