Blacklight Highlight Palette from BH Cosmetics

Hi cuties!

I am sorry for the long silence but I have had a crazy last 6 months. My grandma went to hospital and had everything you can imagine, now she is being fed by a tube because she refuses to eat...It's a very looong story.

Now, for something more cheerful! I have just receive the new Blacklight BH Cosmetics Highlight palette. Can I get an AMEN?! 'Cuz it took ages to get to me, thank to the Portuguese Custom Services.

Honestly, I've heard about this palette not so long ago, about a month I'd say. It took about a week to get to Portugal (by Spain) and then another week to get out of Customs...yeah...they take their time, alright.

Finally,let's take a look at this beauty...

Blacklight Highlighter Palette from BH Cosmetics

As you can see the palette comes with 6 very large pans of Highlighting shades. There is some controversy on the internet that it is a dupe to the Anastasia Beverly Hills MoonChild palette (I would die to get my hands in that one). I am unable to tell you if it is true because I do not own the ABH palette 😢.

What I can tell you, is that the colours are beautiful!! They might not look like much but when you put them on your skin, you can see how special they are.

I purchased them for 12 euros, because there was a sales going on. If you keep track of the BH Cosmetics website you'll know there is always a 25% or more campaign, which is great for us. Unfortunately, in Portugal, if you want to pay not Custom taxes, your order much be less than 22 euros in total, so I only ordered this (being that the shipping cost are about 7 euros).

I have swatched the colours from right to left. So from right to left we have: Electra, Laser, Kween, Strobe, On Point and Illusion.

Unfortunately, I am as pale as a wall and you can barely see the colours in the picture so I took the liberty of using one of the pictures BH Cosmetics has used on their Instagram. 

Here they started on the bottom row, from the right to the left.

As you can see there is a slight duo chrome effect to them, especially Illusion, which is my favorite 😊. The highlighters are a bit powdery but not much (I think they shall become less so with use). I have tried it on top of my clean face and there was no fall out, just a beautiful highlight. 

This is a palette to have fun with,I am absolutely in love with them! Even having the unicorn highlighter from I heart Makeup, because the unicorn one is just a normal, 5 colour highlighter, with no duo chrome effect at all, as you may see bellow.

Unicorn Heart highlighter from I heart Makeup. 

I cannot wait to play around with these and maybe make a youtube tutorial on it.

Hope you have enjoyed this small review and please leave your comments and suggestions down bellow.

Naked Chocolate - I ❤ Makeup

Hey Cuties!

Olá amores!

Yes, I got another Chocolate palete! I've been bad and been spending money on makeup...oops hehe but it's a little different from the other since this one is all about "nude colors" ( and it cost 10 euros so my wallet is happy too).

Sim, comprei outra palete Chocolate! Tenho andado a ser má e a gastar dinheiro em makeup...woops hehe mas esta é um pouco diferente da anterior pois é só constituída por cores "nude" (e custos 10 euros por isso a minha carteira também está feliz ^^).

 As you may have noticed already the packaging is a dupe for the Too Faced Chocolate palettes. And it's no surprised that these are called Chocolate too (this one even has a hint of chocolate smell, yummmmms). The I ❤ Makeup have several of these and I have already reviewed one of them here,

Como já devem ter reparado a embalagem é mais uma vez uma imitação das paletes Chocolate da Too Faced. E não é surpresa nenhuma que também se chamem Chocolate (esta até tem um cheirinho a chocolate yummmmm). A marca I ❤ Makeup tem várias paletes dentro desta linha e já fiz uma review de uma delas aqui.

I liked the quality of the Death by Chocolate palette so much that I had to get the Naked Chocolate. Also I love my nudes as you may have noticed already! But you can never go wrong with a nude, can you?! I don't think so!

Eu gostei tanto da qualidade da Death by Chocolate que tive que comprar a Naked Chocolate. Também tenho um amor por nudes, como já devem ter reparado! Mas podemos sempre confiar nos nudes, certo? 

I've read this is a dupe to one of the Lorac palettes. Since I don't own any of those I'll take their word for it.

Eu li que esta palete é um dupe de uma das paletes da Lorac. Honestamente, como não tenho nada da Lorac não vos posso dizer se é verdade.

Truth is, I really like this palette, there are good matte colors that can work as transition colors or as an all over the lid color and the shimmers look beautiful on the eyes! This is the kind of palete that you bring when you travel and don't want to pack too much. Here are a couple of looks I've made using only this palette

A verdade, é que eu adoro esta palete, os mattes são bons e funcionam tanto como cores de transição como para a pálpebra inteira e os shimmers ficam lindos nos olhos! Acho que é a paleta perfeita quando vamos para fora e não queremos levar muita coisa. Aqui estão alguns looks apenas com as cores desta palete 

As you can see the colors show beautifully and you can do a lot with these! Even cut crease!

Como podem ver as cores têm uma intensidade linda e dá para fazer vários looks! Até cut crease!

Hope you liked this review, please leave me any comments or suggestions of products you would like me to review :)

Espero que tenham gostado desta review, por favor deixem comentários ou sugestões de productos que gostassem de ver :)

Love you all and have a great week!

Adoro-vos a todos e tenham uma optima semana!

Makeup Revolution New trals vs Neutrals

Hey dolls!

So today I wanted to talked to you a bit about the Makeup Revolution palette: New trals vs Neutrals that I got for 6,95€ at the Maquillalia website . First of all, I absolutely LOVE this palette! It was the first  item I got from Makeup Revolutions and it became my favorite palette in just one use!

The palette is obviously a dupe for the Limecrime Venus I palette, that brought back that 90s grungy looks, but more affordable and with the benefit of also having the always reliable neutrals we love to use!

As you can see the colors are beautiful and the pigmentation is amazing! I have actually had the chance to use the Limecrime Venus palette and I like Makeup Revolution's palette way better! Even without a primer the colors show through very brightly, there is close to no fall out and they haven't caused any allergies (very common with pink and red pigments due to one of its components).

Here are some example of looks I have created with this palette.

The amount of different styles you can do with this palette is immense, whether it's a neutral cut crease, a red or brown smokey eye, halo looks, etc.

All in all I recommend this palette from all my heart and promise you won't regret spending 7 euros on it! Let me know what you think of it!

Xoxo
