Hey Pretties!
My first review is going to be on the BH 120 Colors Palette (2nd Edition). A friend of mine suggested it to me and I purchased it immediately. I'm not a fan of palettes and never really saw a point in getting them, but I love this one so far.
Before I bought this I compared it to the Manly 120 Colors Palette which was only available on Ebay and Amazon which makes me nervous because there wasn't a legit website. I compared pictures and I liked BH's 120 palette's better so I went for the most recent one, the 2nd edition. It was $29.95 from BH Cosmetics website. Which is very reasonable for what you get. It shipped quickly too!
Con: The packaging for this palette is a shiny black plastic. I couldn't really take a good picture without seeing my own reflection in it to show you BUT my problem with the packaging is that whenever you touch it you leave finger prints and smudges. I haven't even used it yet and there are a million smudges on it from just taking pics! I keep it in its paper box for storage to protect it a little, but I know that once I start using this for tutorials or when I do makeup for events it'll look terrible.
I swatched a few of them without a base in the pictures below and for the most part they are extremely pigmented which was a major plus point. When I was doing the swatches I noticed that they were powdery. I used a brush to apply them without a base and notice that they didn't turn out as pigmented when blended out but hopefully when I use a base that will change.
Overall this is a great palette to have whether it's for personal or professional use!
For tutorials done with this palette stay tuned!

Hello Rupa!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I appreciate it! I have heard of Coastal Scents I haven't gotten any of their palettes yet but they have very high quality products! Maybe I'll do a comparison in the future!
