BH Cosmetics 88 Matte Palette Review!

I've owned this palette for almost a year now and I thought I shall do a review. I got it off bh cosmetics which is a beauty website based in the US (Pretty much the same as coastalscents). This site sells a huge variety of different palettes aswell as brushes and other beauty related items. Shipping from when I can remember took about 2 weeks which is alright considering it was comming from the States. When it arrived it came in massive box with heaps of bubble wrap so there is really no chance of it breaking. The site always has daily sales and I got my palette for $10 plus shipping so cost came to about $23, which is not bad. I believe palette retails for about $19 and I am pretty sure this company ships this site ships world wide, including Australia.


This Palette has 88 eyeshadows from neutrals to lots of crazy and fun colours. Although this is a matte palette it still contains quite a few satin/shimmer eyeshadows in it, which I probably use more than the matte ones. These Eyeshadows are really pigmented and last quite a long time on your lids. I tend to use the more neutral colours and sometimes use the colours for parties and coloured liner.

                  
This is a photo of the palette compared to the size of a 5 cent coin! Yes the eyeshadows are very small but then again you get 88! (BTW If you do not live in Australia a 5 cent coin is the smallest coin). I recommend this product to people who are starting out with makeup or want these colours for special occasions. I must admit that I don't tend to reach for this as I don't these colours on an everyday basis.


  
These are the two greys shades at the far right, one is matte, the other is shimmer.

 Overall I think this product is great quality for people who want/need 88 coloured eyeshadows in their collection. You can defiantly attempt many different looks with this from a smokey eye to and no makeup makeup look and thats one of the reasons why I love this palette!
