My Favourite BH Cosmetics Lipsticks

So I'm a big fan of BH Cosmetics! I have a fair amount of products from the company ranging from concealers to lip glosses. But today I really wanted to focus on my four favourite lipsticks from BHC 
So I'm just going to jump right in and get started!

Te Amo
This colour is a true red with blue undertones. Any lip colour with a blue undertone will make your teeth appear whiter, and who doesn't like that, am I right? Anyway, I really like this colour because it's so pigmented, creamy, lasts a really long time, and it doesn't bleed, which I find happens a lot with reds. 

Moody Merlot
Now, this isn't my favourite dark red but it's a close second, My favourite is Kate Moss 107. The difference between these two lipsticks is the longevity. BHC lasts a lot longer, but the colour is slightly more brown than 107 and 107 has way more blue undertones.  BHC doesn't smell as delicious as 107 but 107 is slightly more expensive. Both colours are gorgeous and similar, but if I'm going out for a while, BHC Is my go to for a dark lip.

Pop Cultured 

Barbie. All of my barbie's I had as a child had this colour of lip. So when I seen it, I was instantly taken down memory lane and added it to my cart! Like every BHC Lipstick, this colour lasts FOR EVER! Perfectly pigmented and just an all around gorgeous pink!

Forever Nude
Every girl needs at least one nude lipstick in her lip collection. even if it's to place on top of another colour, there a great piece to any collection. This nude, I wouldn't say is the best formulated shade out there but it does it's job. this shade lasts a long time like the others and is petty pigmented, which again, is awesome.

My Make Up History! Part One

So for this post, I really want to talk about my history with cosmetics and how I got started with them and which products I used and how my knowledge has changed over the years and what products I use now.. I want to split this post into part one and part two because i know it will be quite loooong!

  So, Part One! lets get started!

My earliest memory of make up was when I was about five or six years old. I had this pale pink zip up make up case that I LOVED but didn't use often. It was filled with low end cosmetics, like eye shadow, lip gloss, lip stick, blush and Barbie perfume. I didn't really play with the make up because I knew I didn't know how to use it so I just admired it and waited for the day when i could be old enough and smart enough to play with it all properly.

Fast forward seven or eight years and I was in grade 6. This is the year I applied my first coat of mascara!
the second I finished my second eye, I remember stepping back from the mirror and looking at my eye. I remember noticing how much more my eyes "Popped" and how at that very moment, I was hooked on make-up! Sadly make-up was banned at my elementary school, so I only wore mascara on weekends.
Grade seven came and that's where I really got to experiment with make up and figure out what I liked and what I didn't. So, my make up routine. well it consisted of foundation, eye liner, mascara and lip gloss.

Foundation:
Almay Nearly Naked Touch Pad
Now,  this one looks a little different from the one  had, but it is the same thing. the one I had was a good shade darker than my actual skin. I remember I loved applying it, but it wouldn't last very long and I remember it was oily on my skin. now I don't even know if this product is still around, but if it is, I imagine they have changed the formula

Eye Liner:
 I used Rimmel soft kohl. I lined every part of my eye that I could. I rocked the raccoon eye and I  didn't care what anyone thought. I remember it went on smooth and dark which is what I wanted.

 Mascara:
I actually used to use two mascaras, and till this day, I still use two!
The first mascara I ever used was Maybelline Great Lash I LOVED how much product was distributed onto my lashes but I hated how chunky and wet they were so I started going over the first coat with a second mascara, which happened to be Cover Girl professional all in one mascara. I really liked this mascara and how it removed the clumps from my first coat. and it really completed the look I was going for with my lashes beautifully. I did not like using these mascaras by them selves as they did not meet all my needs

And last... but not least..

Lipgloss!

Back in the day I was a huge fan of Lip Smackers and really sweet glosses. so I always opted for super shiny lips or frosty lips and I was able to achieve those looks with Lip Smackers. of course they did not last long on my lips, but at that time, I didn't care. here are my two favourite Lip Smackers glosses that I used in middle school.

And that's that! that's all I used in middle school. I hope you enjoyed this blog post, if you did, then stick around for part two of what products I use now  and what I think about them!
