Review | My Open Box Review of BH Cosmetics

I was really excited when I had discovered BH Cosmetics! Through the many YouTube beauty videos I have watched over the years, I was introduced to this site. They offer a wide array of gorgeous makeup palettes, specifically for eyes!  

BH Cosmetics allows for a start up makeup artist, a beauty enthusiast or even a Pro Makeup artist the opportunity to build a personal or a professional kit for the fraction of the cost.  From Eye & Face Palettes to makeup brushes, you can get everything you need with a few clicks and without having to break the bank.

When I heard that ItsJudyTime, from YouTube beauty fame, was going to launch an eye palette through a collaboration with BH Cosmetics, I was thrilled (Click here for that post!). I also was in need of more brushes (As a makeup artist, you can never have enough brushes!), so I placed my order for both items.

The paperwork side of the transaction was simple, easy and quick. The site is user friendly and I could have easily purchased a lot more, but kept it to the palette and the brush set. Almost instantly I received notification of the transaction details along with the timeline. Happily the package arrived before the 10 day timeline which is always a PLUS!

Presents all year round, even if this one I bought myself! ;)

The items were very tightly packed.

Included with my items was a flyer for new things!

The ultimate easy eye palette that goes from day to night in a minute! No cracked or loose shadows!

The brush set was perfect! It fits neatly and tightly into my kit and has all the essentials (except for a foundation brush) however the ones included are essentials. The brushes included are:

1. Dual Sided Brow & Lash
2. Spoolie
3. Skinny Eyeliner Brush
4. Fine Eyeliner Brush
5. Angled Eyeliner Brush
6. Smudge Brush
7. Fan Brush
8. Flat Eyeliner Brush
9. Small Eyeshadow Brush
10. Eyeshadow Brush
11. Blush Brush
12. Powder Brush

  

Sleek and Compact. Fits neatly into my kit!

Overall my experience with BH Cosmetics was amazing! I was very happy with my new goodies and have already put them into good use!  Check out the products that I purchased here:  Brushes & ItsJudyTime

Review | It'sJudyTime Eyeshadow Palette | BH Cosmetics

I am so excited to do this post on the It'sJudyTime Palette! Launched with BH Cosmetics, this is an exciting eyeshadow palette that I have wanted to get in my hands for some time now, better late than never!

To give you some insight on It'sJudyTime, Judy comes from the YouTube Beauty World. This world is the next generation and the new wave of beauty trend setters, editors and of course Vloggers. Now there are tons of YouTube Beauty Vloggers who are on YouTube, but my favourite is Judy. I have totally enjoyed, learned and have loved watching her makeup videos. Judy does a mix of makeup looks, reviews and also vlogs daily about her family life. A lovely spirit who reviews and provides information with her honest charm!

Judy announced the exciting news that she was launching this Eyeshadow palette with BH Cosmetics featuring staple colours that she loves to use in creating some of her looks, which means I had to have it! Check out my review below!

Packaging Review:

Overall I was very happy with the packaging. I loved the sleek black case, the gold foil lettering, and the use of Judy's beauty tag line: "Natural is beautiful, but makeup is glam!" Truthfully, the size of the shadow pans and the palette itself did surprise me since it was smaller than I thought it would be. But the pigment payoff makes up for it. Very little is needed to get the impact you want!

Palette Colours:

The colours are a gorgeous mix of neutrals, browns, bronze, gold, blues and violet. This gives a lot of versatility for this palette where you can take a daytime look and very easily turn it into a night time look. The colours are very pigmented which is another plus and are true to pan except for one shade that appears to be more plum/sparkle but is actually more black when you wear it. The shadows are a mix of finishes from shimmer, satin to matte.

Swatches:
Here is a close up look of the colours below!

Cost:
I ordered online from BH Cosmetics website and for under $15 dollars, this palette is a great one to start off with if you love makeup or to add to your Pro Makeup Kit. Money well spent!

It would be safe to say that I will be doing a number of eye makeup tutorials from this palette soon to really show how great they look for any occasion. A big THANK YOU to BH Cosmetics for such great customer service, efficient and timely delivery of this palette along with my new brushes (Post to come!).
