Greetings, dear readers, and happy Monday! I hope you weekend was fabulous and this week has fun things in store for you. I wanted to start off this week with another set of products I brought home with me from last month's Cosmoprof North America. BYS Cosmetics is one of the cosmetic brands I visited, and I must say, they stole my heart right away.
Based in Australia, this brand offers quality products at an affordable price, and they are definitely one of my favorite finds from this year's show! From the colourful packaging to the gorgeous pigmentation, my breath was stolen away with each swatch I did of the testers they had out on the showroom floor. Let's jump in and get a closer look at the products I brought home with me!
Let's just be real here: those that are really into makeup have seen similar peach-themed palettes from other brands. After all, brands create products in shades that sell, and these peachy hues are really lovely when it comes to makeup looks in general. If I may take out the colours for a moment and draw your attention to two other reasons to pay attention to this palette over others: the twelve shadows come in a sleek metal tin that snaps closed for a secure seal and the price is only $14.95 AUD ($11.57 US). Oh yes, this is undoubtably an affordable palette! But what about the colours?
The 12 eye shadows are a nice mix of both matte and metallic finishes, and they are definitely pigmented. Colour is easily picked up with my brushes, but they are not powdery and making a mess all over the rest of my palette. I've also not had issues of fall out when applying these to my eyes, a feature I can appreciate as I often do my face makeup first and don't like having fall out to clean up!
I've worn this palette several times since I got home, and this is one of my favorite looks I've done.
Halo eyeshadow looks are so pretty, and the pinks and light peach hues in the palette pair together so perfectly for this look!
If you're in the market for a peach and pink palette with these sorts of colours, I definitely recommend this eyeshadow palette. The colours are gorgeous, and to be frank, I have found the quality to be just as good, if not better, than many brands that cost over four times as much.
In addition to the Peach Palette, I brought home a set of gold glitters to test out. Retailing for $7.95 AUD ($6.10 US), the set includes fine gold glitter, medium sized hexagon-shaped glitters, and a tube of Glitter Fix Primer.
When I first received this particular product, I was very unsure as to how I wanted to use it. While I where some shimmery eyeshadows, it is very unusual for me to wear straight glitter unless I'm attending a costume party or an event for Halloween. I knew I wanted to do something other than applying these on top of my eyelids, and rather than waiting for October to come around, I opted to go outside my normal comfort zone with these. Check out the look I created with these below!
I used both sizes of glitters on this look to add a little more dimension. While this isn't my typical kind of look, I actually really love the way this came out!
In addition to the glitter set, I also utilized shades from the Peach eyeshadow palette that I did not use in my previous look so you could see more of the shade option in use.
I was a little wary of these glitters, especially since the Glitter Fix Primer never really felt like it got tacky prior to applying the glitters. In spite of that, the glitters clung to my skin and stayed in place all day until I removed them myself with soap and water.
My five year old was watching me take pictures and requested I take a "silly face" photo for my blog. This is his favorite one, so I'm including it here just for him! Don't let this photo fool you- I have really liked trying out these products from BYS Cosmetics and have been thoroughly impressed by my experience with the brand! Those in Australia can purchase directly from the brand; international shoppers can check out their distributor list to find their best supplier. US customers can purchase BYS Cosmetics products from Amazon.com. While not all products are on the site, there are still many things to choose from. There are so many beautiful products from the brand so I'm hoping to see more come to the site. With such an affordable price tag, you can create all the beautiful looks you want without breaking the bank!
Have you tried any products from BYS Cosmetics? What products would you be most interested in trying? I'd love to hear from you!
Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful day!
XO!
