BH Cosmetics Naughty Palette

I did a series of posts on Instagram, with 10 different looks using the holiday Naughty Palette from BH Cosmetics. So I thought it might be a good idea to post a quick review and some swatch pictures of it so you can get a better idea what all is going on in this thing.

I’ve been using BH eye shadows for years. I did a separate post on the first Zodiac palette (or I included it in some favorites or something…). I’ve tried face stuff from them - a foundation and concealer - and they’re just not for me. Too heavy, too thick, and pretty drying. HOWEVER, the eye shadows are a totally different animal.

(I paid for this palette with my own money so all opinions are my honest ones)

Some of these shades do kick up a bit of powder (understandably as they are pretty pigmented), that periwinkle shade in particular. Doesn’t stop me from loving them, though.

If you follow me on IG, you’ll have seen the 10 looks I created using this one palette, but I’m going to repost them here. I played with the filter edits on this computer, though, so they might look a bit smoother or fancier here.

I was a bit worried at first, because when I did 5 looks with BH’s original Zodiac palette, everything I created was much darker since there weren’t a lot of options for mid to light toned shades. Not really a problem with this palette!

Below are all the swatches of the shades. Read from bottom to top, each arm contains two rows of shadows.

I’m actually impressed with the swatches. Though most of the time, you can’t trust how a shadow will or will not perform on the eye by these things, I gotta say these look good. Really only two shades look very similar (Nutcracker and Brick) but otherwise, there’s a ton of variety - in colors and finishes. Even the pressed glitters look pretty good, though they perform more like toppers (unless you try to pack too much on and then it’s all ‘oh shit I got glitter in my eyeballs!’ which did happen to me and it wasn’t fun, but at least they weren’t big ass chunks of glitter).

If you’ve never tried BH Cosmetics before, and don’t have to worry about traveling with big palettes of makeup (and right now, who does?), I would highly recommend this. Last time I checked, it was on major sale at the BH website.

So what are you waiting for? DOOOO EEEET.
