Hi guys! so I haven't posted in a while I didn't even realise how long it had been. The days have been going so fast and now its December, I cant believe it! Is everyone prepared for Christmas? I am nearly there, I love to be organized and buy everything early.
So today I am talking about Carli Bybel and her limited edition palette she has created, don't know if any of you watch her on YouTube? I haven't been watching her for that long but when I saw these beautiful shades she has in her palette, I really wanted to get it! Its from BHCosmetics, its an American website so I was a little worried to order from their at first due to shipping costs etc. However i was lucky and didn't get any other fee's apart from basic postage which is really good! This item has been out of stock for ages, so I signed up to the newsletter to be able to purchase it, its available for anyone to buy now though.
The price they have been selling the pallet's for, originally when they were first released, the price was $12.50, so around £8, but now it says on the website the original price is $20/£13, so I am presuming that is what they will bring it up to later on.

Above are images of what the packaging looks like, i really love the white scheme she has chosen and it looks like a bed frame in the background which is different from the normal plain palettes. There is a cute pink Penguin next to her name, because she loves them, and there is a quote under the mirror that says, 'Aspire to Inspire'. I have noticed she loves inspirational quotes and always uses them in the beginning of her videos.
This palette has 14 eye shadows and highlighters, the highlighters can be both used for face and eyes. The palette also states that it wasn't tested on animals, which is very cute and nice to know. I think the postage took quite long, around 8 days or more for it to arrive but it was definitely worth the wait. The only problem I had with this palette is that the packaging wasn't the best, the eye shadows were all wonky, but this might of been due to the shipping, i'm not sure? And the actual packaging itself, which the palette sits in was creased. I mentioned it on twitter but wasn't really that bothered about complaining and getting another one, but she sent me a direct message on twitter which I thought was really nice, in which she offered to get another sent out to me! It arrived not as bad but the shadows were still not in the right place. (Image below of how some of it looked).

mI find the little flower pattern in the four highlighters more interesting than just making it plain, I love all the little detail they have thought about. All the colours are neutral, browns and mauve colours, they are all suited and all go together really nice, I have used this palette a lot since getting it and I always use a shade from it. I love the first creamy colour shade to be applied under my brow bone, I think this colour is very bold and shows really well underneath and applies very deep and pigmented.
There are some matte and shimmer shades in this, I love how i get two options, I think it gives you more choice, like if you was taking just this palette somewhere you wouldn't need to take a variety of palettes to get the look you wanted to create. Even the idea of having the highlighters in it makes it a lot easier than taking more stuff in your make up bag away with you, or wherever you are going.

Here are the swatches in order going downwards with 3 shades, and then the last two on the end. The above images really show how pigmented the eye shadows are. I like how smooth and creamy these are, and intense when applied. All of the shades are very noticeable, when applying a thin layer the colours show up really well. Overall I love this palette and would advise anyone to buy it now its still cheap, even though its not much more money when it will go back to the original price, it is limited edition so it will sell out super fast.

I don't have an image from when I applied the gold highlighter on my face but I can tell you it is very outstanding and gorgeous above the cheeks!

Above are some eye looks I created using the Carli Bybel palette, I was using different eyeliners because I got them new and wanted to try them out, however I think some of the eyeliner colours ruined the look, but I really love the first blue one, I think it makes it look very different from your every day black eyeliner. In the bottom image I have a gold line above the black and I actually created that with the gold highlight colour in the palette, i think its crazy that it worked out so well! I used just a normal eyeliner brush and applied the product on and followed the black line underneath. In a lot of the images I have one of the gold eye shadows in my lower lash line and it stands out so well!
If any one was wondering in the first picture the lip colour is Limecrime's Velvetine Cashmere, I absolutely love it i have been wearing it alot recently.
Thank you for reading, hopefully have a new blog post up sooner this time.
Please like, share and comment any feedback or questions and I will answer them. Thanks!
