BH Cosmetics 39 Color Special Occasion Palette
Amigo cherries!
I really hope my readers haven’t forgotten me as yet. That’s my fault actually; the hectic life routine actually drains me out at the end of the day, leaving me too tired to pen down an article.
Anyway, today’s product is the last one in my stash and my most adorable one: BH Cosmetics 39 Color Eye shadow & Blush Palette. I have been eyeing this palette since I first saw it online and how could have I missed adding it to my cart, while placing a huge order with the same brand? Let’s see if it was worth the wait or not..
Product Description: The BH Special Occasion Palette combines the most elegant shades for eyes and cheeks that make primping for your big event easy and fun. Coveted by makeup artists, these eye shadows and blushes have been carefully selected to be complimentary and flattering for any occasion.
Price: $24.95 but I purchased for $19.5 on sale. 🙂
Ingredients:
My Experience with BH Cosmetics 39 Color Special Occasion Palette:
The packaging is attractive, bright and girly, as the palette comes in a bright purple cardboard box, imprinted with all the necessary details of the product and the ingredient list. Inside, you will find a matte black, light-weight and sleek palette which includes 30 beautiful eye shadows with matte, satin and sparkly finishes and 9 face colours including 2 bronzers, 2 highlighters and 5 blushes. The palette shuts tightly and can be carried when you are travelling, preferably in a bubble wrap.
Now, moving to the actual products inside, the upper flap houses a regular sized mirror. No applicators are included with this palette. Personally, the absence of the regular sponge applicators is perfectly fine with me, as many of us use our own set of eye brushes, rather than working with sponge applicators, for a refined and precise look.
The palette contains 30 small pans for eye shadows. The quality of eye shadows is awesome. The shade selection is wise, which includes neutral to dark, everyday to festive colours. You will find matte white to starry black, shimmery dark blue to matte purple, satiny pink to peaches, matte & satiny neutrals to olive green and pinks in this array of eye shadow pans.
The finishes vary from sparkly, satiny to matte. The pigmentation is impressive; the swatches in the image are done with a sponge applicator, with single swipes and I have tried to include as many as possible. There is no fallout while application and no chalky shades. With an eye primer, the intensity of the shades increases, but even without primer, they can be used to create beautiful day and night looks. They stay good for 5-6 hours without primer, 8-9 hours with primer, without creasing and negligible fading.
Moving the right side of the palette, it includes the blush pans, the first two colours are for contouring. The first pan includes a matte medium toned bronzer for medium-light skin tones; the second pan with a satiny sun kissed bronzer, has an orange hue in it. The third shade is a slightly satiny highlighting shade (I wish it was more satiny to reflect light).
The second row houses a bright candy pink blush, the fourth includes a shiny peachy shade which can serve optimally as a highlighter rather than a blush. Sixth is a peachy pink blush, then a fuchsia pink blush, a dark bright pink blush and last comes a medium intensity true pink blush. You can see that most of the blushes belong to pink family and peachy or neutral shades are missing.
The pigmentation of these blushes are ideal, because if the blushes are too pigmented, it become difficult to work with them and there are chances of going overboard thereby ruining the entire look. There is minimum fallout and no chalky shades. The staying power of these blushes vary between 4-6 hours, depending on the shade and intensity of your strokes.
Both the eye shadows and blushes are finely milled with soft textures. I am overall very happy with my purchase.
