Hello, my Pretties!
If you follow me on Twitter, you know I have been talking about BH Cosmetics for such a long time. I had been wanting to buy them forever and I kept asking you all for recommendations. I knew December would be the month that I would get my BH order placed because December is my birthday and Christmas only days apart. I was anticipating getting money so that's what I was going to buy my palettes with. Luckily, I didn't have to pay for it. My very generous sweet-tart picked up the tab on this one.
But I was nice enough to place my order when BH Cosmetics was having a fantastic sale. All eyeshadow palettes were 50% off and FREE shipping with a $50.00 order. I cannot say no to anything 50% (or more) off.

| I waited for this baby for so long! |
I wasn't sure what to get other than the 1st Edition 120 Palette. I had seen that baby so many times on other blogs and on YouTube channels so I knew I just had to have that one!
But you all know me so well. If there is more than one version of a single item available, I'm getting them all!

Aren't these palettes exquisite? I love them all! I swatched a few shadows the day I got them and they are so wonderfully pigmented. I tried a red shadow out of one of these palettes on my hand and even after I washed it off, my had still had a red tint. Crazy!
The first 3 Editions are a mix of matte and shimmer shadows. The 4th Edition is all shimmer shadows.
I did want to swatch these for you but there are so many. I don't know if I should just swatch my favorite/more interesting shadows in each of the palettes OR dedicate a blog post to each palette and swatch all the shadows. I don't know. Let me know what you all want me to do for you!
If you only want one 120 palette, then I recommend the 3rd Edition. You get bright colors on the top layer and smoky/neutrals on the bottom layer. You get the best of both worlds!
I placed my order on the BH website on 12/15/11 which I believe was a Thursday. I received it Friday, 12/23/11. And since I spent over $50.00, my order was shipped for FREE via UPS Ground (2-6 days). It took 7 days to receive my package. Not sure if that's their norm since it was my first time buying from them or if it was due to the holidays. Either way, 7 days felt like forever!
All in all, my sweet-tart paid $64.92 for my birthday gift and I think it's worth every single penny.
Luv & Luk,

ReplyDelete@babyvmacgirl, yes buy now! They are having a 50% off sale again! Go! Go! Go!
@Hunter87, I hope you do get it. I can see how the 3rd Edition will come in very handy!
@sahar awan, I think I love the 4th Edition a lot! The colors are very bold and vibrant! And they are all shimmery. I love shimmery eyeshadows.

@Jacquelyn, haha! I'm so happy I got them but I'm still dying to wear them. I've swatched them and they are wonderful! Go to the site now, they are having their 50% off sale again!
@Amber, I'm so happy that he got these for me. Best present ever! Haha. I'm excited to create some looks with them. I'm drooling over the bright shadows. You know me and my bright eyeshadows :)
Wow they all look so nice! I really want to try the all matte one since I don't have a lot of matte shadows. The 50% off sale is really calling me lol
ReplyDelete@Kristen, if you're going to buy, buy now! The half off sale makes a difference. LOL. I want to try their matte shadows. I don't ever use matte shadows to these palettes have a nice mix of finishes so I think the matte are going to be the first I use!
ReplyDeleteOk, that reminds me I still need to get my new paletes as well, I am so behing schedule with that. Let's see what happens next year :)
ReplyDelete@Miss Lego, let's hope for good things next year! If you plan on getting some of these palettes, do it! They are really nice :) HAPPY NEW YEAR!
