| BH Cosmetics Spree |
After reading some UK blogs that highly recommended the Jenni Riveria eyeshadow palette from BH Cosmetics, I have been itching to try it out for myself. Thanks to Singsale, I managed to get my hands on some BHCosmetics without needing to deal with the shipping myself. So I have gotten a 24 pcs Synthetic Brush Set, the 10 Color Professional Blush Palette and the Jenni Riveria 36 Eyeshadow and Blush Palette. Shipping took ultra long, about 1.5 month.

| Blusher brush (Each brush came with it's own shield) |
Amazing isn't it? $40 for 24 pcs of brushes, which boils down to less than $2 a brush. So is it worth it? Well, I do have mix reviews on the brush. The first time I tried the brush was with their own BH Cosmetics eyeshadow cause I reasoned, if anything should work, the brushes should work with their own family brand of cosmetics. Boy I was so wrong! The eyeshadow brush is soft to touch, but didn't managed to pick up much eyeshadow from the Jenni Riveria palette!
Despite the disappointment, especially after reading all the raves from the blogs and customer feedback which I didn't have the same sentiments, I tried the brushes again, this time with other eyeshadows from other brands, and viola! The brushes are really good especially the blending eyeshadow brush, which picks up color well and blends like a dream.

| 10 Color Professional Blush Palette (SGD$17) |
Next up is the 10 Color Professional Blush Palette. This is actually the first time I have picked up a blush with colors differing from my usual comfort zone of baby pink. It contained a beautiful bouquet of hues, from plush peaches and jazzy pinks to
intense reds, blooms in both creamy mattes and iridescent shimmers. I particularly like the top muted brown shade which doubles up as a bronzer really well. Unlike the eyeshadows from Jenni Rivera palette, the blushes are very pigmented and requires a very light hand.

| Jenni Rivera 36 Color Eyeshadow & Blush Palette (SGD$21) |
An exclusive makeup palette developed by the #1 Latin Singer sensation Jenni Rivera and premier cosmetics brand
BHCosmetics. It consists of 30 eyeshadows and 6 blushes.
At first glance, the colors of the palette looks quite amazing in the pan. The eyeshadows are mostly with shimmer, with a few matte ones, and the blushes are intensely pigmented. The blushes color are more accurate in the image from BH Cosmetics, while the eyeshadow colors are more accurate in the photos taken by me.
The eyeshadows and blushes are housed in a flimsy plastic well glued to the outer palette casing, and can be heard to shake when you hold the palette. The palette is huge and comes with a large mirror for the ease of applying makeup, but I cannot foresee anyone bring such a huge palette around!
Overall, the eyeshadows are sheer and can be slowly built up, and the color picks up properly only with my fingers, which makes it hard for precise application. The blushes are more to the dark reddish tone, and pigmentation is very good. So apply with a light hand. All in all, the palette is passable, but not a must have especially if you need to go through so much hassle to get it.
