B.H. Cosmetics Haul and Review Feat. That'sHeart Palette and Brush Review

That'sHeart Eyeshadow & Blush Palette

  
I got this palette on sale on the B.H. Cosmetics website for $9.95, I believe the original price is $20 but it's always on sale for like $15. This palette is very cute and sleek, light and portable. It has a magnetic closure and the packaging seems very sturdy. There are a total of 8 eyeshadows, one bronzer with highlighter that share the same spot, and a blush. Most of these eyeshadows are shimmery, 2 are glittery, 1 satin and 1 matte. These eyeshadows are somewhat inconsistant, some are creamy, some are okay, and the matte and satin one didn't show up that well. I got it for less than $10, it has a very cute packaging, I can't really complain much about the colors being hit and miss. The left picture is the palette without flash, and the right side is with flash.

Shades from left to right
1. Shimmery white with white glitter (very creamy)
2. Shimmery baby pink (decent)
3. Satin purple with blue in it (chalky)
4. Shimmery teal blue (creamy)
5. Shimmery golden champagne (creamy)
6. Shimmery warm golden bronze (decent)
7. Shimmery burgundy bronze (very creamy)
8. Looks like a matte black in pan
(very dry and comes out a light brown) 
As you can see, there are a variety of neutrals, and pops of color in these eye shadows. Gives you a nice selection of shades for different looks, but you're going to have to use a primer and pack color on for some decent opacity. 
Bronzer, Highlighter, Blush
Bronzer- Warm matte brown, the gold glitters only shows with flash (decent)
Highlighter- Shimmering pearl with a rose gold sheen to it (creamy)
Blush - Satin baby pink (decent)
The bronzer is something that I wouldn't really use, I have very fair skin tone with a pink undertone so I don't like warm bronzers. They make me look yellow.
The highlighter is very shimmery and pretty, reminds me of theBalm's Mary-LouManizer.
The blush is pretty good, its a very bright pink that looks nice on my skin, not sure on darker skin.

I did a look featuring this palette   HERE

Duo Fiber Stippling Brush


I got this Duo Fiber Stippling Brush for $5.56, this wasn't really as dense as I imagine it. The bristles are very soft somewhat bouncy like the e.l.f. one but this has more of the white bristles. Comparing this to my Sigma F50, this is less dense and have more white bristles, but the F50 is more strong and this doesn't bend as much when you use it stipple. This does work with thinner liquid foundations, lightly distributing blush, bronzer, and setting powder. But probably wouldn't do a great job with thick cream products that requires full coverage. 



Round Stippling Brush

I got this brush for the same price as the Duo Fiber Brush, this brush has a lot of soft bendable bristles packed into a small area. This brush reminds me of the Bubbi HD Flawless brush, long bristles packed together making both very hard to clean the center. I use this for concealer, this can be used for foundation, and great precise job for contouring.



Round Angled Blending Brush


This brush was $4.21 and this is a dense angled flat top eyeshadow brush made out of natural bristles for better blending. This can be used for concealer because of its density, the flat angle top makes the tip ideal for contouring and blending. I dip the tip of the brush into some matte brown shadow and just swipe it onto my crease and blend, then I get a nicely defined crease.
