BH Cosmetics~Have you tried them?

Image
I discovered Bh Cosmetics on Youtube featuring the "Forever Nude" palette, and just had to have it! The palette consists of 2 blushes, highlighter, 6 eye shadows and 2 lip pots. I was pleasantly surprised. I found the basic eye looks to be a pink/dark purple (cooler) range and a more natural browns (warm) looks. Now they didn't swatch very well, but wear beautifully. Same goes with the blushes. And I usually don't like lip pots included in sets like this, but, there do wear well. Especially the pink shade: its a frosty pink, not what it appears in the pot. (Lips) I also tried a gel eyeliner in "gunmetal". Nice creamy application. A good selection of colors available, and very inexpensive, as I've found most of their products to be. I got a great deal on a set of brushes. Just $5.00 for this set of 10 brushes (eyebrow brush not shown) in a pink carrying case. I love the quality, shape and thickness to the brushes. Only one problem: th...

Birchbox review

Image
My first box: October 2014. What's inside? ~Beauty Protector~Protect & Detangle~ Two things I like about this product: It smells great! Something like a vanilla; and, it works! It does smooth the hair and help with the frizzies. I do have very curly, kinky, dry and color treated hair. I usually use 3 or 4 styling products in my hair. I might have to switch one out for this Beauty Protector. ~dr. brandt~pores no more vacuum cleaner: Not one I would purchase myself. It's claims are that it "draws out sebum and dirt like a magnet." I don't agree, but I will continue to try my sample tube, maybe I'll change my mind. Also this product contains GLYCOLIC ACID, SALICYLIC ACID, and natural lavender and rose oils-smells good, but some of these ingredients may be irritating to anyone with skin sensitivities. ~Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream~ Definitely a high end eye product (priced at $38.00). I like the feel and texture of this product, but haven't u...

My first Julep Maven box

Image
What it is: A monthly subscription box featuring Julep nail polishes and Julep cosmetic products that you can personalize to your likings. How it works: Join Julep . You can get your first box free, just pay the $2.99 shipping. You can find various codes for free boxes on the site. Then it costs $24.99/month. What I got in this box: (Geared toward Halloween), 3 Julep nail polishes and a Julep gel eye liner pencil. NAIL POLISHES: Ledi- A black with very, very tiny-almost invisible background glitter. Mary Lee- A dark red/burgundy And a "spray paint" top coat in Ana- clear coat with white flecks PLUS a Julep gel eye liner in "rich brown". I have so many liners that I did not swatch this one- I will probably save for a giveaway. In comparison with other nail polishes: I compared Julep with OPI , China Glaze , and Ulta brand. Overall, they all had similar if not the exact same first 5 ingredients. OPI and China Glaze have formaldehyde, Ulta brand, su...
