The Shaaanxo palette by BHcosmetics was one of those products that every person who follows/ed Shannon Harris, just had to have. Shannon is one of the top youtube beauty bloggers currently out there, she is warm, funny, genuine and down to earth with content to boot. When the palette was first shown on her youtube channel, the excitement from her followers was obvious, myself included.
BHcosmetics is known for its affordability and decent product; this collaboration was for everyone - not just those who had money spare to purchase one of these sought-after products. The best thing? Australians and Americans could purchase the product at the same time at the same price (bar the exchange rate) and the shipping was so, so prompt considering they were probably inundated with orders!
I've split this review into two parts - eyeshadows and lipsticks.
The eyeshadows are highly pigmented, blend so easily and are creamy, considering this product is 'drugstore' and affordable, the product within is definitely up there. The best thing about this palette is that the colours are so wearable, but also a little out-there too depending on your general look. Shannon and BH definitely combined the best colours within this palette, and it just screams for use. There are a few 'highlight' shades, beautiful transition colours, and some darker colours to really amp up a look for the night-time (or day, you do you!).
At first glance, I was a little worried about a couple of the colours, I am very neutral and don't tend to really deviate from neutral, warm colours, but once swatched I realised these colours were not scary at all and could really make a look. I often go straight for the reddish / teracotta colour and wear it alone which really makes for a different look, but totally wearable.
The best thing?
You have the best travel palette, as it comes with beautiful eyeshadow shades, AND lipsticks for every occasion!
There are a variety of lipstick shades to choose from, from neutral nudes to dark plums and cherry red/pink. I have not yet dared to try the brilliant pink or orange shades, but am very fond of the nudes, light pinks and berry tones. The best part of this palette, is depending on your mood and overall makeup look, you can choose from 9 different lip colours to really finish your look, and is (as I said above) perfect for travelling for this very reason - I never carry 9 lipsticks with me when travelling and only pack my 3 favourite nudes and pinks, until now!
Shannon and BHcosmetics have absolutely out-done themselves with this palette. The eyeshadows are pigmented, the lipsticks are pigmented, each shade compliments another and really complete a look for the most affordable price. This is my new travel companion and an absolute go-to for me. Anything that has Shannon's name against it, is well worth the money and hype. Outstanding.
