Review: BH Cosmetics Ultimate Lips 28 Colour Lipstick Palette




Before jumping into my opinions on the palette I'm going to reference the website so that you can know a little bit about what they claim the product to like & all that good stuff. 

The ultimate lip palette for professional makeup artists or those that like to change their lip colour as often as their mood changes. Highly pigmented shades that range from nudes to deep reds, you'll find a shade for every occasion. Shades can be worn sheer & natural  or layered for a bold dramatic look. You can also custom blend a shade for an original look that stands out amongst the rest. 

Features & Benefits: 
- Full Coverage 
- Hydrating 
- Long Wearing 
- Customisable Colours
- Paraben Free 

That is was the BH Cosmetic site has to say about their lip palette & now lets jump to my opinions on the product. I wasn't a hundred percent sure about how the product would apply to the lips, I was expecting the product to be dry & not apply evenly at all, however, that first opinion did change very quickly. I found the lipsticks to be incredibly moisturising & pigmented exactly like the website suggests. Although they are moisturising I didn't find them to be too slippery on the lips.  I was also rather surprised at the staying power the these lipsticks, although I did notice fading after I had eaten & had a drink or two but I think the pretty standard with most lipsticks. 


Overall I really enjoyed these lipsticks. For the price, I really think it's worth it, especially if you're looking to try some new lipstick shades. Along with the 'BH Cosmetics Ultimate Lips 28 Colour Lipstick Palette' they also have a nudes palette too, 'BH Cosmetics Nude Lips 28 Colour Lipstick Palette'. I'll leave the links so you can check them out for yourself if you want too. 

If you have tried either of these palettes or have some lipstick recommendations then drop them in the comments below!

DIY: Facial Toner

I've been making my own facial toner for awhile now & I absolutely swear by it. The thing that I love most is that it has none of the nasty chemicals in it plus it's super easy to make.


All you will need is; 
- A Bottle 
- Tee Tree Oil 
- Distilled Water 
- Other Essential Oils (Optional)

All it is, is water with a few drops of Tee Tree Oil. Depending on how much you like the scent & how strong you want the Tee Tree Oil to be, will depend on how many drops you will want to put into the water. If you don't want to use Tee Tree Oil there are other essential oils that can be used & have great benefits for you skin. I found this particular page which some of you might find helpful if you'd like to look into other essential oils that your skin might benefit from. 

The reason I like to use Tee Tree Oil in a toner & on my skin is because it has amazing healing properties & is anti-bacterial which is why it is so great for acne & blemishes. 

If you end up making up any other toner concoctions, don't forget to share in the comment below. Also let us know in the comments, your favourite toner whether it is handmade or store bought.
