Series: BH Cosmetics Look One

Hello, my Pretties!

I wear makeup often...sadly not everyday like I used to but I still play with it a couple times a week.  Since I work as a nanny, that doesn't require makeup and sometimes I have to be at work early so I don't have time to do my makeup.  Oh no, I'd rather take those makeup applying minutes and use them for sleep!

But recently my schedule at work got changed so I go in a couple of hours later now so now I do have time to apply my makeup. 

Even though I go in later, I am always trying to save some time in the mornings and hate to rummage through my stash which can be very time consuming.  So...I have rediscovered my love for my BH Cosmetics 120 Eyeshadow Palettes.  I have four of them, Editions 1-4, but all this week I have been using the 2nd Edition.

With 120 eyeshadows at your fingertips, how much easier can it get?!

 

 

 

 

Face Ingredients:

 

Face:

♥Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

♥Avon Ideal Flawless Matte Mousse Foundation in Natural Tan

♥E.L.F. Mineral Booster in Sheer

♥Avon True Color Blush in Classic Aura

 

Eyes:

♥Avon Eyeshadow Primer in Warm Beige

♥BH Cosmetics 120 Eyeshadow Palette 2nd Edition

♥Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliner in Copper

♥Almay One Coat Dial Up Mascara in Blackest Black

 

Lips:

♥Avon Tint 'n Go for Cheeks & Lips in Sunny

 

I used 6 eyeshadows to create this look.  I used a light green on my lid and a darker green shade on the outer V.  I used a medium brown in the crease but then deepened it with a brown a tad darker.  A matte white went on my brow high light and gold in the inner corner and over the light green shade.  A light blue shade was applied to the lower lash line.  The colors just blend so easily into one another.

 

I have another BH Cosmetics look to share with you and one other that I did that I loved but I forgot to photograph it so I will have to recreate it.  I will post these as a series because I want to see how many looks I can do with this single eyeshadow palette!

 

I'll be back with another look soon!

FOTD: Spring in My Step

Hello, my Pretties!

I guess it was about two Christmases ago that my sweet-tart gave me the BH Cosmetics 120 Palettes Editions 1-4 as my gift.  Two years ago!  And I've only used BH 120 2nd Edition and just recently, like three weeks ago, I opened up BH 120 3rd Edition.

Here is a look I created using only the eyeshadows in the BH 120 3rd Edition Palette.  I loved this look.  I have used it several times. 

 

 

 

FOTD INGREDIENTS:

 

FACE:

♥ Avon Ideal Flawless Matte Mousse Foundation in Medium Beige

♥ mark. Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation in Medium 7

♥ Avon True Color Blush in Classic Aura

 

EYES:

♥ Avon Eyelid Primer in Medium

♥ BH Cosmetics 120 Eyeshadow Palette 3rd Edition

   Light matte peach shade for the lids

   Metallic copper for the crease

   Shimmery cream for the brow high light

   Matte lime green for the lower lash line

♥ Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliner in Cosmic Brown

♥ Almay One Coat Dial Up Mascara in Blackest Black

 

LIPS:

♥ Avon Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Poppy Love

 

And there you have it, my loves.  A super fast and easy FOTD.  I have been loving more coral and peach shades on my eyes lately.  This look would look pretty without the green but you know me, I needed that POP! and that POP! is what got me so many compliments.  Haha.

 

Wishing you all a super fantastic Sunday fun day!

 

 



Almay Intense I-Color Trio for Hazels

At the end of last month, I won a giveaway hosted by Nicole V. of NV Beauty and I was so thrilled!! I don't have much luck when it comes to giveaways so this was so unexpected.

I blogged about this prize I won, already, which you can check out HERE. Nicole included much more than just the eyeshadow trio I was hoping for. So go take a peek and see.

This post is to focus on the main prize, the reason why I entered the giveaway in the first place. Nicole was giving away an Almay eyeshadow trio. I've never tried Almay before and the swatches that she showed off were so pretty.

Here, take a look and see for yourselves.

Obviously, I don't have hazel eyes but I loved these shadows. I believe that anyone with any eye color can wear any eyeshadow they want.

These colors are so pretty. I loved them all but my most favorite is the bottom shade, the steel gray shade. It is such a pretty shimmery taupe color. I loved it. I think it will look very nice all on its own for days that I don't feel like doing a full face of makeup.

All three shadows are shimmery and very soft. They apply very easily due to their great pigmentation. Blending these shadows was not a problem at all.

Thank you, Nicole, for choosing this trio as your giveaway prize. It's so great!

Luv & Luk,
