Swatchfest: BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Palette
BH Cosmetics is a pretty well known brand with inexpensive prices. I had never bought anything from them (though I looked browsed the site quite a lot) until I saw the Galaxy Chic palette.
The packaging is made of a sturdy cardboard. On the front of the palette, it features an illustration of two galaxy chic gals. It's really cute, but I'm one for sleek and simple packaging. There's a nicely sized mirror on the inside and all of the eyeshadow shade names are listed above each one. Overall, I do like the Galaxy Chic palette's packaging.
This palette includes 18 baked eyeshadows inspired by the planets and moons of our universe. All together, there is 35.4g of product and it retails for $22.95 (but it's been on sale for $14.95 for a long while).
Sun: Rose gold with red veining
Jupiter: Red toned pink
Promethius: Icy blue with burgundy veining
Aphrodite: Deep red
Milky Way: Icy white with icy purple veining
Cosmic: Icy lilac
Saturn: Yellow gold with red veining
Venus: Bright orange
Meteor: Icy blue-green with darker blue veining
Comet: Icy blue-green
Earth: Dark blue with icy blue veining
Neptune: Dark purpley-blue
Mercury: Reddish brown with icy blue veining
Mars: Deep reddish brown (coppery)
Asteroid: Reddish brown with dark blue veining
Uranus: Icy blue
Moon: Icy white/blue with reddish-brown veining
Eclipse: Prupley-charcoal
As always, all of the pictures were taken in natural lighting and the shadows were swatched dry on bare skin (no base or primer) with a finger. All of the shadows have really great pigmentation. I definitely wasn't disappointed by the amount of color each shadow has, but some of the colors are quite similar (like Milky Way & Cosmic). Other than that, the Galaxy Chic palette is definitely worth the price!
Some of these colors are really unique (not gonna lie, I had a hard time trying to describe a few of the shadow colors) and I'm sure that when used wet, these shadows will be even more intense! What's really cool is that every palette will be different because of the veining. I would definitely recommend picking this palette up, and for $14.95 (or even at the full price of $22.95), it's a ridiculous steal for the amount of product and the quality of the shadows.
Do you have the Galaxy Chic palette? What do you think of it? Which colors are your favorite?

| Halloween 2010 - Elendan Gardens |
1-10, how much do you enjoy Halloween?: 10, for sure.
Fondest Halloween memory: Halloween 2010 was probably my favorite. Ryan and I got engaged. He knew that I always wanted to get married on Halloween, but because of his military schedule he knew that it would be a long shot, so he proposed instead!
Have you always been a Halloween lover?: Absolutely. Even as a kid, I loved Halloween. Getting dressed up was a favorite, even back then. Oddly enough, I never really liked the "being scared" aspect of it though. I couldn't even watch scary movies until far into my teenage years, and don't ever try to get me into a Haunted House. Nooooo thank you! (I think it's the interacting that bothers me cos I totally dig gory makeup and spooky things.)
How do you get into the Halloween spirit?: I'm pretty much always in the Halloween spirit. I think that immediately after my birthday (27th of July), I'm ready for it to be the 31st of October.
Favorite Halloween decorations: Jack-o-lanterns! I really like seeing all of the different designs. Each jack-o-lantern is unique!
Favorite Halloween or fall scent?: Leaves and apple cider. Even though I never really loved drinking the warm apple cider at the pumpkin patch, I loved the smell.
Favorite candy: I'm a Snickers gal.
Vampires or zombies: Hm, I think that it really depends. Zombie makeup is more fun than vampire makeup, but I tend to like zombie movies more than vampire movies, but I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If I had to choose which I would rather be, it would have to be a vampire. If I could be friends with one, I would pick vampire again. I feel like zombies aren't really known for their conversational skills, ya know?
What is your weirdest fear?: I don't really think any of my fears are irrational. I have the basic insect/spider, small spaces, heights, crowds, and clown fears. I am terrified of my teeth falling out though. I guess that counts.
You all should fill this out and tell me about your Halloween festivities this year and share photos!
