BH Cosmetics '28 Color Neutral Eyeshadow Palette' Review and Swatches

Hi everyone :)

Today i'm going to review and swatch the "28 Color Neutral Eyeshadow Palette" which i bought from BH Cosmetics.

Price: $18.95 = INR 880 approximately.But i bought it during a 20% off sale..so i got it for a bit lesser price.

Availability: bhcosmetics.com or you can get similar palette from coastalscents.com too

Finish/Formula: Various.


Ingredients: 

Package: Comes sealed in a carboard box.The surface of the palette is matte and attracts less finger prints than the shiny ones.

This palette consists of 28 neutral eyeshadows which are quite useful for those who love and live on neutrals.

Size comparision with MAC eyeshadow in "vanilla": 

General thoughts: Most of them are decently pigmented.DO NOT EXPECT MAC/INGLOT/BEN NYE/SLEEK/SUGARPILL  LEVEL OF PIGMENTATION / TEXTURE! Yes..these are a lot less pigmented than them and the texture is hard when compared to those eyeshadows.Also some 'matte' and 'matte with micro glitter' kind of eyeshadows feel chalky and are very poorly pigmented.So, it is a must to use a good eyeshadow base which helps in intensifying the colour and also prevents the fallout of micro glitter which are present in some shadows.The best shadows from this palette are those which have 'shimmer' and 'pearl/soft metallic' finish.They are very well pigmented when compared to mattes.Last but not the least..This palette lacks a basic matte black eyeshadow!!!

PROS: 

• 28 neutral colours in one single palette.
• Great palette for beginners.
• 'shimmer'/ 'soft metallic finish' colours are very well pigmented.
• Affordable.

CONS:

• Mattes feel a bit hard and less pigmented.They definitely need a base to make them more intense.
• Lacks a basic matte black eyeshadow.
• 'Matte eyeshadows with microglitter' are the ones with worst pigmentation.

Rating: 5.5/10


Final thoughts: All in all,this palette is best for beginners who want to try out a cheaper option to decide the best colours for them before investing in the little bit more pricey ones OR for people who want to practice and improve their skills without shelling big bucks.So,if you are in no need of improving any skills/deciding shades,then you better invest in much better options like Sleek i-divine eyeshadow palettes(The best!)/Coastal scents hot pots/Ben nye eyeshadows/Sugar pill eyeshadows/Inglot eyeshadows(Freedom system is the best) which are low-moderately priced and if you have no problem with shelling out big bucks,then you probably what your options are..right? ;)

SWATCHES: I divided the palette in to four parts and swatched accordingly with a creamy concealer as base (2-3 swipes each).
