February Favourites 2016

Happy Leap Year! February was a pretty good month. Took a trip to Vegas for a couple of days and picked up the ABH That Glow palette which as you can see is one of my favourites of the month along with a few other goodies. 

• Carli Bybel Palette by BH Cosmetics is so gorgeous. I love the eyeshadows because they are creamy and blendable and the colours are awesome. The highlighters are amazing as well.
• Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer - this is pretty nice for brightening up your undereyes
• Rimmel Matte Powder - for when you wanna be MATTE
• Milani Naked Matte Lipstick
• Loreal Fairest Nude Lipstick - do you see a trend of what I enjoyed wearing in Feb?
• The Balm Bahama Mama Bronzer
• Tarte Lights Camera Splashes - LOVE this mascara and it's very waterproof

So, those are all the products that I have been loving for the month of February. What have you been loving and what products would you recommend to try?

Review: Carlibybel Palette by BH Cosmetics

I got this beauty a couple of days ago in the mail and was so excited to swatch and try the eyeshadows and highlighters out. I've been a fan of Carli and BH Cosmetics for awhile now and was so happy to hear that they were doing a collab. I did stay up on launch day to get my hands on the palette and am happy that I was able to grab one. First off the colours are gorgeous! Loves me some neutral shades. The highlights have to be my favourite of this palette as they are all super pigmented and amazing! You get 10 eyeshadows and 4 highlights in this palette for a great price. I got mine for $12.50 which was the launch price, I am not sure if the price will change any time soon as the palette is currently out of stock but you can submit your email address to be notified when it comes back in stock at BH Cosmetics.

If you would like to see swatches of all the eyeshadows and highlighters they can be found after the jump below. The eyeshadows were all quite creamy and applied well. I thought some of the darker shades were just a tad bit patchy and needed a couple of application to really stand out but they were blendable and lovely for the price of this palette. As I noted above the highlights were my fave! They applied so well with one swipe and were super pigmented.

Overall, this palette is definitely awesome with a price that is equally as awesome! The shades are great for the fall season too as it has some purples and warm tones. Have you guys tried this palette out or have plans to purchase? I would love to hear about your experiences with this palette!

It'sJudyTime & That'sHeart Palette by BH Cosmetics Haul

To try and make up for the fact that I was half a month late with my favourites I am posting another post! This one is on the It'sJudyTime and That'sHeart Palettes by BH Cosmetics. I purchased these babies a couple of weeks ago on an impulse buy (well most of my cosmetic purchases are impulse buys lol). They arrived a few days ago so I haven't been able to really dig in and use them much. I have swatched some of the shadows and so far so good. 

I have more up close pictures of both palettes after the jump. If you would like swatches and a review of each palette let me know in the comments below :)

What is in my: Everyday Make-up Bag

I think I carry too many make-up items in my purse and to prove it here is a post on what is in my everyday make-up bag. I usually take this with me in my purse and use the items to touch up throughout the day.

BH Cosmetics Bronzer

I received this bronzer in the mail a couple weeks ago from BH Cosmetics and have been trying it out for a few days. Overall, I like the packaging I think its very sleek and simple. The product itself has good pigmentation and a smooth texture. I really like this bronzer and can't wait to use it more in the Spring & Summer! Check out BH Cosmetics and their other products on their website :) Have you guys tried any BH Cosmetic products that you would recommend?
