[SWATCHES] BH Cosmetics Eye Shadow Pro (TKQQGWK4WKSX)

I decided to buy the 15 Colors Customized Palette of BH Cosmetics Eye Shadow Pro during one of their sales after seeing them featured in some videos. Today, they actually have a 40% off their palettes which come in 6 or 15 and you can choose between warm (W), cool (C), and metallic (M) colors. They come in matte (M) and shimmery (S) variations.

To do a quick review:
- These are very pigmented.
- Kind of chalky sometimes and will have fallout.
- The shimmery variation is much more pigmented than the matte.

My swatches have no base underneath and they are taken with flash.

[REVIEW & SWATCHES] Revlon High Dimension Eyeliner


I recently found these Revlon High Dimension Eyeliner in my local cosmetic outlet for the price of $1.99. They are unfortunately discontinued which renders this review useless but you can probably get them at eBay, Amazon, or any cosmetic warehouses/outlets around your area.

I bought the shades 06 Gold Flash and 02 Steel Flash. These eyeliners are very soft, creamy and pigmented. The have a metallic sheen to them which adds drama, a subtle glitz and glamor to the eyes. These are absolutely fantastic on the lower and upper lashline and I love how Gold Flash looks on the inner corner of my eye. I do not recommend these on the waterline even though they are perfect for it because when I did that, it burned my eyes and felt like I got soap in them.. I`m not sure if my products are just old or possibly defective. I wouldn`t hold that against them because they are perfect as bases. They blend very easily. Another downside is that they aren`t long lasting. If you don`t set them, they will crease or smudge. Overall, I do recommend these products if you can get a hold of them.

[REVIEW & SWATCHES] Wet N Wild Silk Finish Lipstick


Review:
As I have stated, I am addicted to lipsticks. Since I am very cheap, I tend to splurge on the ones that are inexpensive or are on sale. These Wet N Wild Silk Finish Lipsticks are $1.57 at my local Walmart. Since they are cheap, the saying 'you get what you pay for' does apply in terms of staying power. However, they will surprise you. They are decently pigmented and they aren't drying. Even if they won't last the entire day, they don't come off within 2-3 hours either (unless you're going to eat a big meal). Mine stays in decent condition if I dab it on my lips (tapping or dabbing motion) before applying it completely (sliding motion) and blotting it well even without a liner or setting my lips around the edges. I think the colour selection is great and I will probably purchase more that are appropriate for the season since they are really inexpensive. If you are somebody who likes bold and dramatic lipsticks or if you are starting with makeup for yourself (not on clients), I recommend these since they are super fun especially for the price. In Canada, I think they can be found in Zellers and Walmart. If you are in the U.S. please refer to their website.

Swatch Guide:
521A Fuchsia with Blue Pearl: This is very true to its name. It has a blue undertone (great for skin with cool undertones). It's a bright fuchsia with blue shimmer that will brighten up your complexion and make some facial features pop.

552A Just Garnet: If you swatch this on a fair skin, it will look very similar to 521A but on actual lips, it's a lot closer to red than pink. It's a deep berry colour that's almost like wine with red shimmer. Perfect for fall for vampy lips trend!

502A Dark Pink Frost: I always take a risk with these shades. Since there were no samples to see how the swatches look, I never know if the colour will wash me out due to the frosty finish. This colour is cross between a nude pink and a hint of purple. It isn't as frosty as I thought and it doesn't look pale. It has gold shimmer and I think it's subtle way to upgrade a nude look.

I am a thrifter, a beauty hoarder, and lipstick collector. My style makes no sense most of the time and I'm a hot mess. But I like it and if you like it, yay.
