BH cosmetics 88 Matte palette + swatches+ EOTN

Every since I started loving makeup, I've been a sucker for makeup palettes from eye shadow to facemakep palettes . I have so many and I still get excited whenever I see one ^_^. I love how they are travel and makeup storage friendly because they fit anywhere and it really gets me when they have the cutest packaging. *sighs...* I guess you can never have too many palettes right? Anyway, I just want to share my new 88 Matte eyeshadow palette by BHcosmetics  from Valeree of MakeUpVideosAndMore. I won her little CONTEST a few weeks ago and it was one of my prizes whoo hoo!!

PRICE: $19.95

INGREDIENTS: 

   Talc, Mica, Mineral Oil, Kaolin, Titanium Dioxide, Magnesium Stearate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Lanolin, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

PACKAGING: A black rectangle palette with a glossy finish. It has a good mirror inside with 2 double sided sponge tip applicators inside. It is very light weight.

SIZE: Case size is 9" x 6.5" and the eye shadows are about a size of a dime.

TEXTURE: Even though it's called the "Matte Palette" is still has some eye shadows with shimmers in it. The texture varies and depends on the color but I can say that most of them are soft with good color payoff , easy to blend but a little powdery. There were only a few that were chalky and difficult to swatch.

This one doesn't have any BH cosmetics logo. It only has a sticker of how many eye shadows are in the palette which are 88.

I did some swatches with my fingers. The color payoff is pretty good with one swipe.

Swatches are on a white paper with no primer.



EOTN (eye-of-the-night) using the 88 Matte palette
After I did this Silver and Purple eye, I realized that I already did a similar LOOK a long time ago *shakes head * . But I still like it though and its a beautiful smokey eye for night time look. I used 2 shades of silver on the lids and 4 shades of purples on the outer corner, crease and above the crease.

PROS: 

• Very affordable even though I didn't buy it ^_^. For 20 bucks, you get 88 colors to play with.
• A great eye shadow palette to have if you are on a budget. 
• It has a really good matte black eye shadow. It's really black, matte and a really good color to do smokey eyes.
• Travel and makeup storage friendly because it's slim and light weight.
• Most of the shadows were easy to blend, soft and has good color pay off.

CONS:

• Some eye shadows were difficult to blend and were chalky.
• The texture is powdery so I suggest to pat on the color instead of brushing it. You get less fall out and you get better color pay off.
• The colors can be a little overwhelming if you are a beginner in makeup.

FINAL THOUGHT: 

Overall, this palette is a must have in your makeup collection in my opinion. It has all the colors you need to create endless makeup looks from neautrals, colorful to bold and dramatic. It has a mixture of matte and shimmers...well it has more matte than shimmers which makes it even better. Matte colors shows up really well in photographs while shimmers can wash it out. A good balance of matte and shimmers in an eye makeup is beautiful and this palette will help you to achieve it. Also, for less than 20 bucks, it's a steal!
