Today I want to share with you my thoughts on the BH Cosmetics Essential Eyes 28 Color Eyeshadow Palette.  I got it this past December, and I’ve been loving it ever since!

Most of the time, when I wear makeup, I lean toward neutral coloured eyeshadows and liners, and sometimes I go a bit more colourful with my lip colour.  So, because I use neutral eyeshadow colours most of the time, I tend to go through them relatively quickly.  I was so excited to get this palette because it has 28 neutral shades that I’ll be able to get a lot of use out of and will last me a while!

I found the BH Cosmetics Essential Eyes 28 Color Eyeshadow Palette at a Winners store a neighbourhood over from where I live.  I thought it was absolutely gorgeous and I knew that I’d be able to get a tonne of use out of it.  I was very impressed with the price …I mean 28 eyeshadows for $9.99 CAD?!  Yes, please!  I’d never tried anything from BH cosmetics before, and I knew that the company was cruelty-free, so I decided to pick it up and try it out.

I am so impressed with this palette!  I was pretty sure that the eyeshadows would be decent because BH Cosmetics is a popular brand, but I didn’t know that the eyeshadows would be as good-quality as they are.  The pigmentation of these colours is so good and the eyeshadows are quite velvety.  I was shocked, and still am, how good these eyeshadows are for the price.  In addition to the excellent quality of the eyeshadow, they are also very long lasting.  I didn’t have to touch up my eyeshadow at all through out the day.

I would definitely compare these eyeshadows to eyeshadows from some high-end brands, like Urban Decay and Too Faced, but for a fraction of the cost.  The only negative, I would say, to these eyeshadows is that there is a very small amount of fallout when applying them; however, it’s not enough that it will completely mess up a makeup look!  I typically blow on my eyeshadow brush before applying my eyeshadow, so that fallout is not really a problem.

Some pros and cons of the BH Cosmetics Essential Eyes 28 Color Eyeshadow Palette are:

Pros:
Cruelty-free
Excellent colour payoff
Long lasting
28 colours
Price – $9.99 CAD

Cons:
Very light eyeshadow fallout

I know I’m going to be able to get a lot of use out of this palette; I’ve been using it almost every day since I got it!  It’s such an amazing palette that’s going to be a staple in my makeup routine for a while!

Have you guys tried this palette?
