It is an undeniable fact, that at 31, and the late bloomer that I am, I got hooked on makeup. And got hooked on it hard.
I wouldn't have guessed it really as for the years before that, I could've lived off BB cream and blush and be perfectly happy. Now, I am mildly obsessed and borderline addicted to collecting eyeshadow palettes. And to be honest, I probably already have all the shades I would ever need or wear! But alas, I still cannot have a full stop at buying them, especially when I discover ones with great reviews and at affordable prices!
Such was the story the last time I bought new eyeshadow palettes. Last December, I told myself I would be done buying them - I think I got four new palettes in a month so a full stop is the only next step to do. I did great for about three months - the longest streak since I started my little makeup collection.
I have no recollection how it happened but I found myself on the Shop Hush (saddens me to say this, but as of this writing, the site is now unavailable while they make some changes) and their huge banner said "60% off sitewide." Uhm, giiiiirl! SAY NO MORE! I was already familiar with the Bad Habit palettes that they sell and know them to be great dupes of popular brands at affordable prices. Add in this huge sale, and the palettes came to as low as $5! You bet by the first hour I've already put a purchase in!
I got them about three weeks after and they did not disappoint! The blendability is son point! They are powdery and have a bit of kickback on the palette but not too much that it's off-putting. Shadows are well-pigmented - at least with the Aphrodite palette. That's the only one I've used so far but it's already promising. The only regret that I have is that I didn't buy more before they shut down their website! I mean I only spent less than $30 for the four palettes I bought! WHAT? Right?
Anyway, on to the makeup look that I wore and swatches ~
