I am loving all of these Blogiversary giveaways just as much as you are, if not more. I am actually getting a bit jealous of all the awesome goodies that Alison from The Rosy Snail is rocking. I am totally missing out on some great stuff.
This review and giveaway is something I would really love. I have never tried bh cosmetics, but they look incredible, and being able to customize your own palate would be so amazing.
One super lucky fan is going to win all of the fabulous products reviewed below. That is so cool. Good luck!

In the Blogisphere, it’s hard to use the word “cheap”. To me “cheap”
can mean two VERY different things. It could mean something that you
paid a nominal price for. Meaning, you got it cheaply, therefor making
that item cheap…OR it could mean the more slang (for lack of a better
word) of that definition of that word meaning that it’s just junk. While
sometimes those two meanings can go hand-in-hand, I’ve quickly learned
the difference between “Cheap” and Affordable.
One of the more affordable (being cheap in terms of cost, but never quality) is BH Cosmetics.
Where high quality doesn’t have to have a high price tag! If you
recall, last year we had a review and giveaway from BH Cosmetics and
since using my first palette from them, I’ve been snatching up every
sale, deal and discount I can to get my hands on these colorful
palettes, easy to use brushes and more!
Most
recently, I decided to try one of their brush sets. I’ve heard great
things and for the price (normally $24.95 but there is always a
discount, currently the price is down 28%) it’s not something you can
ignore. This is the 12-pc Berry Brush Set.
Just looking at this set online, there were many things that appealed
to me. The color of the long handles, the berry tip of the synthetic
hairs, the variety in shapes, sizes and the multitude of uses for each
of these brushes, BUT it wasn’t until I received them n the mail that I
realized just how stunning they actually were.
Each
brush is flawlessly constructed and made with soft, dense hairs. Many
times, I’ll find that there will be a few soft brushes in a set, but
with these exception of the two brow brushes and one blunt shadow brush
(which were all intended to be stiff) ALL these brushes are soft on the
skin and a pleasure to use.
I’m
a big brush fan, but I was really happy to see a long handles spoolie
brush in this set. Each brush is between 8-9″. I use a spoolie ever day
and nothing is more frustrating than digging through your brushes to
find your TINY 4″ spoolie to tame your unruly brows.
Each
brush is also printed with the BHcosmetics logo. Overall, this brush
set it great for beginners, as a gift and even impresses someone like me
who has a vast brush collection. I think I’ll pick up a spare for work
or just to have in between cleanings. I’ve been using these for about 3
weeks now and washed them 4 times (counting the initial washing) and
they just get softer and easier to use.
BH
Cosmetics is also known for their eyeshadows. If you’re a fan of the
build-your-own palettes, like Stick With It or the Z Palettes, you might
be aware of BH for their single shadows. With over 100 colors, you can
get a single pan of eyeshadow as low as $.98 (which they are current;y
selling for with a 50% special on their website). I decided to check out
the 15 Color Eyeshadow Pro Palette.
With this 15 Color Palette, you select your colors from their full
collection and customize it to fit your needs. Everything arrived
individually wrapped and in perfect condition. I decided to go both
neutral and bold with my colors and got a wide range of colors.
Overall,
I couldn’t be happier with the color selection and the overall product.
These colors are pigmented, unique and extremely easy to blend.
Each pan is fairly large and pressed with a bh.
While these colors don’t have crazy names, each pan comes labeled
with the series and a number. This makes it easy to ID should you need
to repurchase your favorite colors.
I’ve been using these colors non-stop so be sure and check out my Instagram for swatches, eye looks and more!
Overall, I could not be happier with both of these items. They
performed better than I anticipated and I can’t wait to try more from BH
Cosmetics! BH was kind enough to send these products for review, but
they’re also offering the same products to one lucky reader! Enter below
