BH Cosmetics haul- Galaxy Chic palette & Floral Duo Blushes- pictures, mini review, and swatches + 39% off


So I was browsing the BH Cosmetics new products page on their website a few weeks ago and saw this galaxy themed eyeshadow palette and floral duo blushes and knew I had to have them. I am totally obsessed with anything galaxy or space themed and the floral blushes were just absolutely beautiful, so I wanted to hurry up and post some pictures and swatches on here so that you guys can take advantage of the 39% discount they're having on the eye palette right now!

BH Cosmetics "Galaxy Chic" 18 color baked eyeshadow palette:
-I was so amazed when I received this palette in the mail, because not only is this palette visually stunning, but the pigmentation is top notch. I was really glad that they chose to use baked eyeshadows for a galaxy themed palette, because a lot of baked shadows have that unique veining of other colors running through them that actually allow them to look like planets. A great thing about baked eyeshadows, also, is that they can be used wet or dry to get the pigmentation that you want. With most baked shadows that I own they're normally rather sheer until you use them wet, but with these they are so pigmented that I didn't find much of a different with them wet or dry- although some of them when used wet do allow some of the shimmer to show a bit more. This palette comes with a mix of neutral colors and fun/pop-y colors and all of them contain shimmer. I am absolutely blown away with how pigmented these shadows are and how well they apply. Good job BH! This is by far the best palette I own from them and I feel that this would be an asset to anyone's makeup collection- plus with the amazing price of this palette it's an amazing deal as well!

BH Cosmetics Floral Blush Duos:
-There are 5 blushes total in this collection, but only 3 of them I felt suited me. These blushes come with 2 shades in them that you can use alone as a blush or highlight, or you can mix the two shades to create your own shade. I am absolutely loving these blushes right now. They are soft, yet pigmented and even the shimmery shades look beautiful on the skin. I generally go for matte blushes, which one of these duos have, but I'm really liking how these shimmery ones look on my face. They really just make the skin look so alive. These blushes are only $4.95 a piece which is such a great deal for the pigmentation and amount of product you're getting. I'm really thinking about getting the other 2 blush duos just so I can have them for my kit.

Tulip Blush Duo:
-Tulip comes with a matte peach-orange shade and a shimmery rose bronze. Mixed together they create a shimmery coral shade.

Lilac Blush Duo:
-Lilac comes with a satin purple based pink and very light cool pink that works great as a highlight. Mixed together they create a very light shimmery pink


Rose Blush Duo:
-Rose comes with a shimmery deep red based pink and a lighter shimmery beige that would work as a highlighter on medium to dark skin tones, but I use it as a blush. Mixed together they create a slightly lighter version of the deep pink.

I am so happy with my purchases and couldn't reccomend them more. BH Cosmetics is so affordable and there products never cease to amaze me with the pigmentation and quality. They truly are a makeup junkie's dream.
