Carli Bybel, if you are unfamiliar with her, is a YouTube guru and blogger with over a million followers. I love her blog and her videos and I love her as a person, I think that she is a great role model for young girls. She recently collaborated with BH Cosmetics and made her own palette with 10 eyeshadows and 4 highlighters..... and the best part is that it is only $12.50!!!! SAY WHAT?! I just recieved mine and was not really sure what to expect but I was actually very impressed with the quality. The palette comes with 5 matte shadows and 5 shimmer shadows and then 4 highlight shades. The best part about this palette is how versatile it is. You can wear the highlighters as eyeshadows and vice versa, it's awesome! Whether you have extremely fair skin or you have dark skin, you could make this palette work for you, it will work on everyone! I would definetly recommend getting your hands on it ASAP. They sold out within hours of the release and I was lucky enough to get one, but don't worry they are restocking and they will be ready to purchase really soon here. Below are some pictures of the palette as well as some swatches! Hope you enjoy!
Even though the palette is made out of like cardboard or whatever, the outside detail is so cute! I love the white and the quilted detailing, it makes the palette look so chic!
The inside of the palette is even better than the outside. It comes with a full mirror with an adorable inspirational quote below saying "aspire to inspire." The small details that she added were super cute and definetly added a personal touch to the palette. My favorite part about the inside is the floral detailing on the highlighting shades. Even though it was a small detail, I feel like it made the palette look that much more gorgeous!
All of these colors are amazing and they are extremely creamy and pigmented! The eyeshadow colors do lean more towards the warm side (which i love) but there are still some with neutral undertones. These highlighters though.... they are AMAZING! The pigmentation of these bad boys are unreal and they feel like butter when you touch them.
Here is a picture of the eyeshadows swatched in natural lighting. As you can see the first color, the third, fourth, and fifth color as well as the last color are the matte colors and all the other ones are shimmer. None of the shimmer shadows are glittery and chunky, they just have a beautiful sheen.
This picture is taken in artifical lighting. The shimmer shades pop a bit more in this lighting making them appear lighter, but the matte shades look truest to color in this lighting while the shimmer colors look better in the natural lighting picture. As you can see you have a some transition shades, some dark shades to deepen any look, some browbone highlight shades as well as all over lid shades. You can make any look your own and play around with the colors and use them however you like!
Here is a picture of the highighter shades in natural lighting. Starting with the lightest shade, it is a frosty pink based highlighter. This color is gorgeous and is perfect for those with extremely fair skin or even people with fair skin could wear it as well. The second color is my personal favorite. It is the most perfect champagne beige color, perfect for light to medium skin. The next color is a beautiful golden copper shade with warm undertones and the last shade is true bronze color. The last two colors I would wear as bronzers but they would look amazing as highlighters on people with dark or deep complexions.
Here is one more picture of the highlighters in artifical lighting. All in all these highlighters are the bomb. I was blown away with their creamy texture and how intensely pigmented they were. The best part about these highlighters is that they are NOT GLITTER! No glitter chunks here! It is so hard to find affordable highlighters that are not glitter chunks all over your face. So the fact that you get 4 in this palette and 10 eyeshadows for $12.50, it's a must have in my book. Grab this gem once it is restocked, you will not be disappointed!!!
