BH Cosmetics Wild & Alluring Palette Swatches

I really like the bh cosmetics Galaxy Chic Palette, so when I saw the Wild & Alluring Baked Eyeshadow & Highlighter Palette, I decided to get that one too. And I wasn't disappointed, this palette is pretty awesome!


The palette has six baked eye shadows, a baked blush and a baked bronzer.

Here are some quick swatches, no primer, one swipe of each:

As you can see, these are pretty pigmented! First up on the left is the blush, which is a pretty frosty pink. Next up is the bronzer, which is rather pigmented as well. If you read my introduction on the right, you know that I'm about the palest girl there is, so this bronzer will probably not work for me as such, but it does make a pretty bronze eye shadow instead.

Next are the three top eye shadows, which I don't care for as much as the rest. The first one is a shimmery pink with some violet undertones, then a violet-bronze eye shadow and last a bronze-violet eye shadow. The two last eye shadows are pretty much the same two colors switched around.



 Next up is the second row of the eye shadows starting with multi-color one, which comes out as a pale green gold, very pretty! The second one is a paler pink and last is a lovely turquoise-aqua eye shadow. I was really impressed with the pigmentation of the aqua eye shadow.

The last three are from the bottom row of eye shadows. The first one is a pale khaki gold, I really like it! Second one is a very pretty pale green and third one is teal-bronze. The whole bottom row is pretty darn gorgeous!

While some of the colors look a bit similar, the palette was definitely worth the $10 I spent on it.
Bh cosmetics often has sales, so you might score it at an even lower price. I've been using the baked bronzer as an eyeshadow as well as the whole bottom row, liking the palette a lot!

If you got this palette, what did you think of it?

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Sally Beauty Supply Bitzy - quick swatches

Sally Beauty Supply launched their Bitzy collection earlier this month. This collection replaces their Sally Girl collection, which I absolutely loved, so I decided to try some of the Bitzy items.

All the items in the Bitzy collection are $1.69 ($1.59 with the Sally Beauty Club card), so very affordable.

I purchased three of the Bitzy eyeshadows. From the left: Treasure Glitter Cream Eye Shadow, Independence Eye Shadow and Diamond Glitter Cream Eyeshadow.

Here are some quick swatches and as you can see the glitter ones are indeed very glittery!
I also really liked the blueish gray from Independence. The pink was very sheer, but probably buildable like the Sally Girl eye shadows.

Here's a size comparison to some of the Sally Girl items. 
I don't know if you can see from the photo, but I hit the pan when I swatched the Bitzy Cream Eye Shadow in Diamond :o So while the Bitzy line might appear a bit bigger, there's a rather thin layer of glitter there. Not that you'd probably need more glitter than that! :D

Have you tried the Bitzy line products? 
Which ones are your favorites?

Hope everyone is having a great week!
