BH Cosmetics - Day & Night // Tropical Shimmer Palette.
88 Tropical Shimmer Palette - £2060 Day & Night Palette - £15
I've been so excited to blog about these palettes so I'm not too sure why I haven't done it sooner!?
I picked these up in December while I was spending outrageous amounts of money at the Clothes Show, I picked up the two for £15 together, I was told by my friend and the woman at the stall that these are an American brand and used by lots of American youtubers, and being a sucker for both, I thought it was best to give it a go! Although I haven't been using these daily since my purchase, I'll grab these on the more experimental day, mainly because I'm spoilt for choice with colours.
For the price I paid, I was expecting something a little better...not that I don't love these, but the Day & Night palette, was the one I was most excited for and the one I'm most let down by. For such beautiful colours, I struggle to get the colour onto my skin or even to pick up the colour on my brush...practically no pigmentation in these colours, so forget the bright and obvious colouring from these. Yet the tropical shimmer is the total opposite, as you can see from the swatches (all from tropical shimmer palette) theres so much colour, shimmer & sparkle and enough pigmentation which means you can clearly see these colours and with enough options this now means within one palette I can create calm looks, smokey eyes, bright eyes and so many other options, oh I'm so excited!
I'm obsessed with palettes and I love the colours available...though I'm a little disappointed with the Day & Night colour pigmentation, I'm still happy I've got these two in my collection, hopefully in the future I can use all these colours a lot more.
Anyone else own BH Cosmetics products or hoping to purchase any soon?
I do like the pigmentation in these palettes for the price, I just never reach for mine as much as I should as I find it slightly overwhelming? Haha I tend to grab for smaller palettes like the Urban Decay ones. They are nice to keep in my pro kit though if I ever need brighter colours

Oh wow - that colour range is incredible! It's a shame that the quality isn't all too fantastic, I feel like you could probably get some cheaper palettes with slightly better pigmentation nowadays x

That's true! I'm loving the browns and dark shades in the palettes at the moment, the brighter colours will probably come out more in summer!

Oh me too! Some colours would look lovely in the next few months but theres just not enough colour in them! Oh true, I could've spent so much more!
ReplyDeletesarah xo
I'm so spoilt for choice with colours now!...but thats not always a good thing!
ReplyDeletesarah xo
Isn't it! Oh definitely, I'm glad these are part of my collection now and something to continue trying to use but it'll be so easy to pick up better pigmented palettes for so much less!
ReplyDeletesarah xo
It's worth a try! Some colours just don't really show on the brush. Still happy I have them!
ReplyDeletesarah xo
I know right! well I reccomend the tropical colours palette for sure!?
ReplyDeletesarah xo
Aren't they! I know but i'll keep trying...and attempt them wet actually :)
ReplyDeletesarah xo
