Not sure why, but I had never tried anything from Be A Bombshell before. This little quad has made me want to try out some more of their products because I am pretty impressed with it. Let me tell you why!
The packaging is pretty cute - it has a clear plastic cover with a sillouette of a girl checking herself out in a compact, along with a "b."
The 4 shadow shades are in a shape that kind of reminds me of a pinwheel ...
In this quad, you get a matte navy blue, an olive green that has a slight shimmer to it, a bright purple with a satin finish, and a baby blue shimmer. I think it's a pretty random quad and it's not a "full look" kind of product, but individually these shades are really nice!
Here they are with flash, one swipe of each with no primer/base:
And here they are without flash:
For being a matte, that navy isn't chalky at all and blends REALLY nicely. The other shades are great as well. I was really surprised with the pigmentation on these, especially because I'm always skeptical of shadows from brands I've never tried before. I've really been loving using a champagne shade on my lid, then I'll use the purple from this quad in my crease and blend the navy into the outer corner. The navy and purple look really good together and gives you a colorful smoky look.
They currently only have 4 eyeshadow quads to choose from, which you can buy here, but they also have a ton of other stuff, including some really unique looking blushes!
If you'd like to see live swatches, I did them in this video!

they sent out the bora bora one in my ipsy bag a while back. I was impressed pigmentation too!
ReplyDeleteI almost got that one too, I couldn't decide! lol
DeleteI was thinking about buying this quad too (I'm always drawn to this color range) but talked myself out of it, I'm trying to buy less makeup (lol) did you use the ipsy 30% off code? I hope :) but before you haul more ipsy is sending out BaB powder this month so they'll be a new code, I can give it to you when I get it if you want :)
ReplyDeletePs I like your new format Bc it's much easier for me to comment :) I can only get discus to work on my desk top computer but I always do my blog reading on my kindle :p
DeleteOh I actually got it on Hautelook a while back when they were on there! I think it was $12 or something like that, I completely forgot to mention that in the post lol. That was the first time I had seen them on there though!
DeleteOh and thank you for the feedback! I really wanted to make the blog easier to read/navigate so that makes me happy! :D
