Carli Bybel x BH Cosmetics Eyeshadow & Highlighter Palette | Review and Swatches
Wednesday, November 18, 2015
This Carli Bybel x BH Cosmetics palette was launched quite a while back and it was totally SOLD OUT. This is a limited edition palette which just came back in stock. I doubt Singapore has this but you can find it on Caoursell for About S$30-32. More expensive than the price online but still alright for the amount of products inside. Lets get on to the swatches and reviews/first impression.
p.s. I did a few makeup looks with this palette at the end of this post
ROW 1
4 matte shades and 1 shimmer shade. First shade will be a good all over lid nude colour to even out veins/darkness. Third and fourth matte shades I guess will be suitable to blend in the crease. Last shade is a dark burgundy colour - very pretty pigmented.
*Note: I did experience fall-outs from these shadows, so I will recommend you guys to either spray your brush with MAC Fix+ or just do your eye makeup first before moving on to the face.
ROW 2
This row has mainly shimmer shades and more gold and bronzey tones. I do like the last 3 shades the most as I do not see myself reaching the first two gold shades often. However, with that said, the first shade looks very interesting when swatched - almost like a subtle duochrome pinkish-gold colour!
All Shadows
The highlights and bronzers. I do enjoy the first two highlights, especially when they are mixed together. The two bronzers are way too dark for me but they are amazingly pigmented and perfect as shadows - I love the last shade the most (almost similar to Colourpop's Game Face)!
Overall I do think this is a value for money palette and certain shades are quite similar to my Morphe Brushes 35T (click on link for 35T review) with is full of taupe, burgundy, bronze shades as well. If you are on a budget and wish to get something new, I will definitely recommend this. It has great value and the highlighting and bronzing shades are amazing! It is so buttery and soft while swatching them.
Here's a summary of all the swatches :)

Updated 15 Dec - Another day time friendly look with more mauves and burgundy compared to the bronzey look below. This is a very wearable look for day to day and I love this. I wore this for close to 9 hours with primer underneath and this lasted so well. Looked exactly the same when I got home. Very impressed with the quality.
