BH COSMETICS- CARLI BYBEL 14 COLOR EYESHADOW AND HIGHLIGHTER PALETTE FIRST IMPRESSION

Hi everybody! I am so excited to talk about this palette! I did mention in my previous post that I will be blogging about a palette I got from BH Cosmetics. It's the Carli Bybel palette! I discovered Carli's youtube videos only a couple months ago and I am truly amazed by the quality of her videos. Her tutorials are very good and easy to follow. I love that her videos always start with a quote. It is very inspiring and gets you motivated. She got me into BH cosmetics and I discovered great quality make up for such an affordable price! Carli's palette was launched on September 8th I believe. It was so crazy because after it was launched the site crashed and it was all sold out :( I stayed up so late trying to get my hands on it but it just wouldn't go through! But two months later I finally got my hands on it and I love it! The launch price was $12.50. I don't remember if that's the price they are sticking with but I think that is a very good price for this palette. It is very affordable and everyone can get one if they want one. The design of this palette is so cute. A white colored palette is very different from a lot of the palettes out there. The palette is very light and I think it'll be a great travel size palette to bring along with me when I go places. I was just a little disappointed that the palette had a small torn on the side. The quality isn't as sturdy. But it's not very noticeable so I don't think be that much of a problem. Overall, I am very fond of the colors and I know I will constantly reach out for this palette.



I love the colors of this palette. It's natural and very wearable. There are 10 eye shadows and 4 highlighters. It goes great alone or as a base for darker shadows. It's super pigmented and blends so well. There are fall outs from these eye shadows but what eye shadows don't have fall outs? I like that there's a nice size mirror to look at yourself with. it's not too small or too big. 


Swatches of the eye shadows from the second row. Theses are more of the nudey and browner shades. I love the shimmer that these eye shadows have. It's not too shimmery so don't worry about looking like you have glitter all over your eyes. It's very subtle. 


Swatches of the eye shadows from the top row. These are more of the pink and muave shades. I love this row. I think I'm just obsessed with the muavey colors this fall. It just goes well with everything in my opinion.


Here are the swatches of the highlighters. I love it! I think the quality of these highlighters are very good. I've been really into highlighters lately so I know that I will constantly use good highlighters if I have them. I don't care if it's winter, I still love my highlighters!


As you can probably tell, I love this palette! Everything about it is just so good! I'm so happy she created such an everyday palette that people can constantly reach for. It's also very different and unique so I'm very happy I got it. I think the palette is still sold out on the BH Cosmetics website but, I'm pretty sure it's coming back real soon! I was constantly checking the website everyday and boom! I got one. I know you make-up lovers are going to love this one. I know I do!

OCTOBER FAVORITES!

Hi everyone! I'm alive!!! I have not been able to post anything up lately because I have been so busy! But now that I feel like I've settled down, I want to share some of my favorite products for the month of October. Besides being busy, the reason I haven't been posting my favorites for the last two months was because I haven't really tried any new products or seemed to have any new favorites. It's so hard to always find a new product to like when I'm still loving the same old products. But I have been collecting some new products for the last two months and I am excited to share them!

BH COSMETICS- 6TH EDITION 






Swatches of some of my favorite colors from the palette.  I wish there was names for each of these colors. They are beautiful.


This is my first time purchasing from BH Cosmetics and I am so bummed that I have not tried any products from this line until now. This line has so many amazing products and they are so affordable. I picked up this palette because I saw many colors that I like.This palette is everything right now. There are so many eye shadows for me to create endless looks with. The colors are so beautiful! It's so rich and pigmented. I use very little to apply on my eyes. The best part about this palette is that the price is so amazing. It is so affordable. I am so happy I caught this palette at a good time. It was on sale for only $12.00! The prices for these products changes around but it will not go over $25.00 or $30.00. I have been wanting to try some of their brushes because I've heard so many good reviews about it. There is so many good things about BH Cosmetics. You won't regret getting something from here. I have another palette that I recently bought from BH Cosmetics. I can't wait to share it! Stay tune for it in my next post! 


TARTE- TARTIEST CLAY PAINT LINER


I love this brush. It's very thin and curvy making it so easy to apply.


I finally understand the beauty of this product! It is innovative and very different from other eyeliners out there. It comes in a tube and it also comes with an angled eyeliner brush. This will help you create the finest and sharpest wing liner. I seriously love this thing! It helps quicken my makeup routine so much faster than before. It is also very smooth and easy to apply. Any newbies can create a pro wing liner like they've been doing it forever. I'm not going to lie, I am not the best at wing liners but this beauty here helped me so much. You don't even need a lot. A little goes a long way. I have my tube for almost two months now and I still have a full tube. I use it everyday too. It's quite pricey but it is so worth it. Hands down my favorite eyeliner. 

IT COSMETICS- BYE BYE UNDER EYE ANTI-AGING CONCEALER



I love this concealer. It is the best concealer I have ever owned. No lie! I've tried so many and it's so difficult to find one that can cover my panda eyes. The formula is so thick so a little goes a long way. I heard people said it's hard to use this concealer correctly and it's true. The thickness is no joke. It can get cakey under the eyes. It will help if you find a setting powder to keep it in place. Other than that, I know this is going to be in my collection for a while.

MAC- PREP+PRIME FIX+



After hearing so many good reviews and seeing everyone using this product I knew I had to try it out. I have used only one good setting spray and I was hoping this one will be as good. As it turned out, I love it! It keeps my make-up on all day. It's also very hydrating so those of you that have dry skin will love it. I see a technique that many people use with this spray. They would spritz some on their make-up brushes before applying their foundation or eye shadows. I heard it gives them better pigmentation. I've yet to try that but I will eventually.

THE BALM COSMETICS- MEET MATT(E) HUGHES LONG-LASTING LIQUID LIPSTICK




I didn't expect to like this liquid lipstick so much because of the color. I got this sample size liquid lipstick from my October ipsy glam bag. I've heard of so many good things about The Balm cosmetics and I have always wanted to try. I'm so happy I got this. For some reason I find this color to be very flattering on me. The color is pink. I don't usually go for pink lipsticks but this one looked too good to pass on. I like the formula as well because it stays on my lips all day. I don't even reapply the whole day! It also smells really good. It smells like mint. There is nothing better than a lipstick that smells good.

ESSIE NAIL POLISH- BRIDES TO BE



Usually for October I tend to go for darker nail polishes but this time, I went with a pale pinkish color. I love colors like this. It's a nice pastel pink which makes my nails look very chic and natural. The pastel color nail polishes are lighter so it does require more than one coating. I also love essie's nail polishes. 

JAPONESQUE- SOLID BRUSH CLEANSER




Cleaning brushes has never been so easy! I really don't know why I discovered this product so late. But it's okay, better late than never right? After discovering this brush cleanser, I have been so happy with the results of my brushes. It such a unique brush cleanser. It makes my brushes look and feel like it's new again. All I do is swirl my brushes around the "balm" of the cleanser and I can see the make-up on the brushes disappear! I love it! It's innovative and made for quick and easy brush cleaning. It makes cleaning brushes fun. No joke! If you've been on the hunt for a brush cleaner, get this one a try! You won't regret it!
