[Review] Beauties Factory 64 Color Eyeshadow Palette #2 (BF-239)

Hello my beautiful readers!!

I hope you are all doing well :) Today I have a palette review for you. This one is from Beauties Factory Cosmetics and I actually won this in a giveaway. Nonetheless, my opinion about it will be as objective as possible and even though I didn't spend any money on it I will try to be as fair as I can when reviewing it. So let's begin!!


 The palette came sealed with triple bubble wrap and inside a puffy case to protect it, so thankfully none of the shadows was broken. The exterior is a thick carton case, which I obviously threw away since there was no reason to keep it.


 The case itself is very sturdy and thick, simple black. Excuse the picture, I rotated the photo a hundrend times but it refused to be uploaded correctly. The case actually has two palettes inside, one on top of the other. The upper part with the squares contains shimmery eyeshadows and the bottom part contains mostly matte shadows with the exeption of 3-4 shades that contain a bit of shimmer or are a bit metallic-y. Both pans can come out so you can arrange them as you like, depending on what you use the most.



The swatches below are taken in natural light and without a primer. In the first photo I have swatched some shimmery shades. As you can see they are quite pigmented. I was impressed because I know from experience that usually palettes like that tend to have very bad quality product in them. I won't say they aren't a bit chalky, cause I would lie, BUT they aren't that bad to be honest. I think the quality is ok!

Here is the palette in a better picture taken by beauties factory.


 These here are the matte shades. As you can see these are quite pigmented as well, some colors more than others, but overall the pigmentation is quite good, considering also that I didn't use a primer underneath and I only swiped my finger once to make the color show.


Overall: Some shadows are less chalky than others, even though all of them are ok under certain conditions. They are soft, easy to work with and they blend nicely and the palette has many nice colors; half of them are really wearable.
I would recommend this palette if:

* You are on the hunt for a multi colored palette for specific purposes (halloween makeup/ special events/ to play around before you go and buy something similar that costs a lot more).

* You are a beginner and you don't wanna spend a ton of money on single eyeshadows or palettes before you ensure that you have learnt the basics of makeup.

*You are a colored eyeshadows lover and you like to wear vibrant colors day to day or add some color accent even at work but you don't feel like spending a fortune on an expensive palette and singles.

*You are on a budget in general.

I tell you, there are other far superior palettes out there, but damn they are so expensive and as far as I know, these palettes aren't always available in every country. Beauties factory palettes aren't that expensive and they certainly have many alternatives and offers to choose from! I would say that their palettes are very very similar to BH -Cosmetics eyeshadow palettes. I am not sure if the latter are of better quality since I don't own any of them, but they do look very similar in my eyes.
