BH Cosmetics Haul

Yes, if it isn't obvious already, I have a bad habit of wanting to "collect" things.

I was at Rina's place the other day talking about how I wanted a few more brushes. I wanted something a bit smaller to use as an eyeliner brush. Plus, it's nice to have more than one set of eye brushes for eye shadow unless you ritualistically clean you brushes after using them which I don't always get the chance to do.


Here comes the 24 piece Synthetic Brush Set from BH Cosmetics! After buying my Vortex Brush kit from Sedona Lace I mentioned wanted their 12 piece Professional Synthetic Brush Kit. What was I thinking? I really don't need to shell out another $90+ on brushes, I already have a really good set! Again, I just needed a few extras.

The brush case holds exactly 24 brushes.

The bigger brushes.

The smaller brushes.

24 synthetics brushes and a roll up case for only $23.95, that's about $0.95/piece! It ends up being cheaper than ELF's synthetic brushes at $3/piece, but is it better?! Well, we'll just have to post a review & comparison about that now won't we? These aren't labeled which makes it a little difficult to compare to others but many brushes are multipurpose anyways.

I went a little blush crazy again but I couldn't resist the cute packaging (and price).

What lovely packaging!

Cute right?

I purchased 3 out of 5 of their Floral Blush Duos in the colors Tulip, Daisy, and Rose for $2.95 each. In each box there are two different colors of "blush" (can also serve as a highlighter for some). You can use each color individually or swirl them together and use it that way. With that we can safely say you get 3 colors for about $3 which isn't so bad in the end.

I also purchased 2 more of their Creme Luxe Lipsticks for $3.75 a piece, one in Toasted and one Naked Peach.

The Mini Angled Kabuki Brush + 3 Creme Luxe Lipsticks.

Finally, I got their "Nude Steal" combo which included the Forever Nude Makeup Palette (sale price @ $12.95), a Creme Luxe Lipstick in Forever Nude (sale price @ $3.75), and a Gold Mini Angled Kabuki Brush (sale price @ $3.95) all for only $11.95! They had a purple kabuki brush with another deal but I wasn't diggin' the palette that came with it. I chose the Forever Nude palette because I wanted to cut back on the bulk I bring with me when traveling. The palette includes 2 shades of blush, 1 highlight, 6 eyeshadows, and 2 shades of lip gloss.

All this was $11.95!

It's a pretty basic palette, but  that's exactly what I needed for traveling.

I'm such a sucker for sales, ahhh! Well, I had to have a total of $50 to qualify for free shipping which was $12 so that explains the madness.

All in all this cost me a total of $55.65 for 24 synthetic brushes + roll up case, 3 blush duos, 3 lipsticks, 1 palette, and one kabuki brush.
