BH Cosmetics Galaxy Palette Tutorial- Star Child Eye Look

This week I decided to revisit some of my eye shadow palettes that have not received enough attention.  I came across my BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Palette that I purchased on sale back in December.  I forgot how truly awesome these eye shadows are.  The Palette comes in a compact case and a decent sized mirror.  The palette has 18 luxurious baked eye shadows that range from gorgeous neutrals to stunning pops of colors.  I like to use my MAC fix plus to amp up the pigmentation with the more colorful shades.  All of the eye shadows are pretty metallic and some have flecks of glitter, which I think are pretty.  If you purchase this palette, you will need to use some other eye shadows in your collection to create a completed look.  I use some of my matte eye shadows and lighter shades.  But this is a really great palette to get a number of fun looks.  The Galaxy Chic palette is currently out of stock on the BH Cosmetics website but you can have the company e-mail you when they restock.  Also, BH Comsetics has a number of sales every other week so the already very affordable price of $15.99 can be even lower. This is a fantastic and high quality palette.  I created a stunning eye shadow look with this palette.  If you want to recreate the look, just keep reading!

1.  Prime your eye.  Gently smooth your favorite eye primer on your eyelid to your brow bone.  I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion in Eden.

2.  Apply an eye shadow base to your entire eyelid.  Using a flat eye shadow brush, take a neutral eye shadow and apply it on your eyelid to your brow bone.  I like Urban Decay's Eye Shadow in Foxy.

3.  Apply Prometheus as your transition shade.  Take a clean blending brush and gently swipe in Prometheus.  Lightly apply Prometheus into your crease using a windshield wiper motion.

4.  Blend Aphrodite into your outer corner.  Using a pointed crease brush, dip into Aphrodite.  Be sure to tap off any excess eye shadow.  Apply Aprodite by gently pressing brush into the outer V of your eyelid in a small circular motion.  Take a clean blending brush and blend the upper portion of Aphrodite into your crease.

5.  Make your eyelids pop with Cosmic.  Dip an oval eye shadow brush in Cosmic.  Spray the eye shadow brush with Mac Fix Plus (or water) and gently press onto eyelid.

6.  Line your bottom lash line.  Take Prometheus with a smudge brush and line the bottom lash line.  Follow this by taking Aphrodite on a clean smudge brush and apply and blend on to the outer one-third bottom lash line.

7.  Define eyes.  Using a deep brown eyeliner, rim your bottom and upper lash line.  I like Mary

Kay's Deep Brown Eyeliner.

8.  Amp up the look with mascara.  Apply 2 coats of mascara with your favorite black mascara.  For this look, I used Tarte's ManEater Voluptuous mascara (upper lash) and Clique's Bottom lash mascara (lower lash).

There you have it my Star Child Eye Look!  Go out and shine lovelies!

Beauty Trove's Top 5 Picks for February 2017!

Just a few more months and we will be in Spring!  To celebrate the end of February, check out Beauty Trove's Top 5 Cosmetics I have been loving this month.

1.  Bath & Body Works Sleep Lavender Chamomile Cream ($15.00).  This B&BW cream was previously featured on an empties vlog by Coffee Break with Dani.  I purchased mine at the semi-annual sale and have been using it nonstop in February.  It is one of the more expensive items at B&BW but it is well worth the price.  Also, you can stock up on the cream and lotion line during one of their sales.  Just this past month the aromatherapy lines were on sale for 50% off.  I found the cream to be very hydrating and relaxing.  The best use for the cream is after a shower when you are getting ready for bed.  By doing this consistently after taking a shower at night, I associate the smell with sleep and it does relax me.

2.  Fiona Stiles Multidimensional Color Palette ($39).  This Ulta exclusive is extremely versatile, effortless, and gorgeous. The palette comes with 6 elegant shades of highlighters (2), universal bronzer (1), and blushes (3).   The universal bronzer may not be for darker skin tones.  However, the two highlighters are great for a natural lit from within look.  My favorite is the first highlighter in the palette.  All three blushes are fantastic.  The fist blush looks very intense, but with a light hand it applies sheer and provides just the right amount of color for a "I just came back from a brisk walk in the cold" look.  I really love combining the last two blush shades together.  Absolutely beautiful!

3.  Tarte ManEater Palette ($29).  If you have not purchased your ManEater Palette, do so now!  This is a limited edition palette and is now only available through the tarte website (was previously at Ulta).  This will be your everyday favorite palette.  The ManEater palette has a cute leopard print cover, sizable mirror, and 8 buttery eye shadows.  There is a large brow bone highlighter and 7 smaller pan, neutral eye shadows.  My favorite color hands down is saucy.  It is a great transition color, eyeliner, and crease color.  This palette works great for both day and night looks.  The ManEater palette along with the Fiona Stiles Multidimensional color palette has been my go to look for the past month.  Seriously, you won't regret buying this.

4.  Juvia's Place The Saharan Palette ($28).  Staying with the eye shadow theme...just look at these colors.  I love Juvia's Place eye shadow formula.  It is very creamy and blends well.  The colors are absolutely stunning.  My favorites in the palette are Woaddbe, Iman, and Jamila.  This palette launched in January but I have enjoyed wearing these colors on the weekends in February.  There is an option to bundle the palette with the Saharan gel eyeliners.  I haven't tried the gel eyeliners but they are all sold out, so I think that is saying something.  Before purchasing the Saharan Palette, do some online searches for a promo code.  There is usually one available to get 2-3 dollars off.

5.  Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Chihuahua ($21).  This is one of the new colors in the melted line.  It is a fantastic shade of neutral rose pink.  The melted formula is very hydrating and applies smooth.  I love this color.  It goes great with neutral and pops of color looks.  I've been wearing this with the ManEater palette, Fiona Stiles palette, and Saharan palette.  

That's a wrap for February 2017 favorites.  What were your favorites this month?  Have you tried any of these products and if so, what did you think of them?  Comment below!

Sparkle in 2017 with this Tarte Cosmetics Sale!

Tarte Cosmetics is ringing in the New Year with an up to 60% sale on select items.  My top pick is Skin Twinkle Lighting Palette ($28.00; orig. $42.00).  The Rainforest of the Sea palette has three lovely shades to bronze, highlight and contour.  The twinkle kit has sunlight (a champagne gold highlight), filtered light (matte sand, can also be used to set concealer), and moonlight (a rosy pearl; great for a lite contour).  Sale lasts until the final item is gone.  Also, did I mention that Tarte has free shipping on orders of $25 or more?
