BH Cosmetics Club Tropicana Foil Eyes Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
Club Tropicana
BH Cosmetics Club Tropicana Foil Eyeshadow Palette ($12.50 for 1.16 oz.) is a collection of brighter pops of color in the brand’s more shimmery formula. I’ve reviewed the Original Foil Eyes and more recent Foil Eyes 2 palettes in the past, and I find that the original is the easiest to work with across the palette, but Club Tropicana was the worst/hardest to use as-is. I think if you’re someone who enjoys very shimmery, sparkly, or metallic shades and typically works with a dampened brush or an adhesive base, you’ll find this palette useful and easier to use. There were just several shades that required a dampened brush to help improve binding and adhesion (for evenness) to the lid, and for me, traditional eyeshadow primer doesn’t do much as the issue was more texture/formula than a matter of pigmentation or longevity.
One thing I noticed was that the two previous Foil Eyeshadow Palettes contained 1.58 oz./1.60 oz. of product, whereas this one only contained 1.16 oz. The ingredient list was the same between Club Tropicana and Foil Eyes 2 (but the Original has a slightly different list/order of ingredients), so I’m not sure what accounted for such a dramatic decrease in weight. Even at 1.16 oz., it works out to be 0.04 oz. per shade, which is close to the average full-sized eyeshadow (0.05 oz.).
Club Tropicana #1
Club Tropicana #1 is a medium orange with hints of brown that muted the brightness of the color–but read more orange than brown to my eye–paired with a metallic finish. The consistency was quite dense, and when I pushed at the surface with my brush, it flaked off a bit, so it was messier to use and did not apply as evenly as I would have liked. It would be easier to use it with a slightly dampened brush, as it would help smooth out the consistency quite a bit and help it spread across the lid better. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours on me before creasing.

Club Tropicana #2
Club Tropicana #2 is a bright, light-medium mint green with cooler undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied unevenly to the skin. With this type of silicone-heavy formula, I do not personally find primer to help much, but using a slightly dampened brush or spritzing MAC Fix+ (which has glycerin in it) goes a long way to improving spreadability and evenness of coverage. The consistency was dense but dry, which resulted in looser, more uneven coverage. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Club Tropicana #3
Club Tropicana #3 is a medium pink with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, pearly sheen. It had slightly larger flecks of sparkle but the finish wasn’t as metallic as other shades in the palette. It had medium, buildable pigmentation that applied decently to bare skin. The texture was soft, a little loose, but not too dense in the pan, so it was easy to pickup with a brush. It wore well for seven and a half hours before creasing.

Club Tropicana #4
Club Tropicana #4 is a bright, medium blue with cool undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied well to bare skin, and it actually spread and blended out nicely but the thicker consistency of the actual eyeshadow made it more prone to emphasizing my lid’s texture. If I used a dampened brush, that emphasis was minimized. This shade started to crease on me after eight hours of wear.

Club Tropicana #5
Club Tropicana #5 is a bright chartreuse with warm, yellow undertones and a metallic finish. The pigmentation was fantastic, while the consistency was smooth, dense but too heavy or thick on the lid, and it blended out well. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly.

Club Tropicana #6
Club Tropicana #6 is a medium peachy-orange with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had good color payoff, though it was shy of full coverage, that applied evenly to bare skin. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy but not too dense, and was easy to manipulate on the lid. The eyeshadow started to fade on me after eight hours of wear.

Club Tropicana #7
Club Tropicana #7 is a medium-dark, brownish gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. There were larger sparkle particles in it, which seemed to contribute to it applying unevenly to the lid as the larger sparkles pulled the finer powder away from places as I blended it out. It had medium pigmentation, which was somewhat buildable, but it was easiest to use with a dampened brush. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me.

Club Tropicana #8
Club Tropicana #8 is a deep, taupe brown with warm, reddish undertones and a metallic sheen. It had good pigmentation that applied evenly for the most part, but the texture was quite dense, which made it harder to apply with typical eyeshadow brushes. I had the best luck using a flat, synthetic brush and pressing against the skin, rather than sweeping. This shade lasted well for eight hours on me.

Club Tropicana #10
Club Tropicana #10 is a vibrant, medium purple with warmer, pink undertones and a pearly sheen. The pigmentation was intense–totally opaque and barely any product was needed to achieve that! The texture was smooth, blendable, and almost cream-like as it was slightly dense and thick compared to the standard powder eyeshadow but still was easy to work with. It wore well for nine hours on me before creasing slightly.

Club Tropicana #11
Club Tropicana #11 is a sparkling, medium sivler with neutral-to-warm undertones. The texture was drier and looser, where a lot of the sparkle seemed to come away from the base product, which made it incredibly messy to work with. It looked uneven on the lid, and it was best applied with a fingertip, with a dampened brush, or over a glitter adhesive. This shade had significant fallout within four hours of wear.

The eyeshadow was soft, a little drier in the pan compared to other shades, but it applied fairly smoothly on the lid without having to exert much effort. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me but had a touch of fallout.

Club Tropicana #14
Club Tropicana #14 is a bright white with neutral-to-cool undertones and a metallic finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage in one layer, but the texture seemed to clump on itself and appear chunky and uneven on the lid. It also emphasized the texture of my lids. This shade started to crease on me after seven hours of wear.

Club Tropicana #15
Club Tropicana #15 is a medium-dark lavender purple with subtle, cool undertones and a metallic finish. The texture was dense, a little chunky to work with, and it resulted in less even application to the lid and sheerer coverage. It was somewhat buildable, but I found it hard to work with unless I used it with a dampened brush. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Club Tropicana #16
Club Tropicana #16 is a meidum-dark copper with warm, brown undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had good color payoff paired with a soft, lightly loose texture that sheered out a bit on the lid but I was able to blend back-and-forth to get opaque coverage as it seemed to “melt” on the lid as I worked. The color started to fade on me after eight hours of wear but had a bit of fallout over time.

Club Tropicana #17
Club Tropicana #17 is a bright, medium pink-coral with warm undertones and a metallic finish. The consistency was soft, looser but not dry, and tended to over-apply product as a result, as it was quite pigmented on its own. At this point, I undoubtedly sound like a broken record, but it would be the type of shade I would use with a dampened brush as it would help smooth out the product and make it easier to use (but still get coverage and blendability out of the product). It wore well for eight hours on me before creasing slightly.

Club Tropicana #18
Club Tropicana #18 is a bright, medium bluish-teal with subtle, cool undertones and a frosted sheen. It had good color coverage that applied evenly and blended out nicely on the lid.

Club Tropicana #21
Club Tropicana #21 is a light-medium pink with warm undertones and a metallic finish. The texture was drier and looser, which resulted in semi-sheer coverage and lots of fallout during application. The only way to salvage this shade was to use it with a dampened brush, which helped improve binding and adhesion. It lasted for six hours on me and had some fallout over time.

Club Tropicana #24
Club Tropicana #24 is a bright, medium purple with cool undertones and a frosted finish. The consistency was looser in the pan, which resulted in chunkier product that came away from it and really needed to be pressed and pushed onto the skin rather than swept. Using fingertips helped a lot for evenness, but again, a dampened brush goes a long way to making this shade apply better and blend out more easily. It wore well for seven and a half hours and had some fallout.

Club Tropicana #26

It was somewhat blendable but could have been easier to work with overall. It had good pigmentation that lasted well for eight hours on me.

Club Tropicana #28
Club Tropicana #28 is a bright, medium fuchsia pink with cool undertones and a sparkling, pearly sheen. The pigmentation was opaque, while the texture was soft, a little loose but not dry, and blendable on the lid. This shade started to fade on me after eight and a half hours of wear.

Well that’s disappointing, although I guess still not too terrible for a $12 palette. I wish they would go back to the original Foil Eyes formula, though!
For $12, it wouldn’t necessarily mean skip it since there are some good shades in it and if you don’t mind using them with a dampened brush, it’s probably worth it (even if $12 is your entire budget for the month). It’s bumming me out since the original was better (and the same price) 🙁
Awww, this looks like such a fun palette, too bad the shadows are a mixed bag. Still, for $12, if I could de-pot and only keep the A/B shades, this will be worth it, but I don’t have the skill or time to do it.
Yes, that would definitely be one way to do it! I tried depotting again a few months ago, and no thank you, LOL.
I just pick this up from the post office today. Sad to see a few shades fail but this overall bright palette intrigued me so I’m still glad the shadows were still workable consider a single pot MAC shadow is now $21CAN. I’ll take the lumps with the gems. 😉
Keep us posted on how you enjoy it 🙂
I didn’t realize that you are Canadian (me too)! I’ve read your blog and looked for your input on a few things (MUR mainly, I think). How long did it take your package to arrive? Mine shipped yesterday!
At just $12.99, one could de-pot whichever shades they love and know that they’d use, and put them in a magnetized customizable palette! I am certainly considering doing just that.
One thing that is a bug in my bonnet with this one is the redundancy of certain shades. Like; do we really need FOUR fuchsia/vivid pinks in one palette? Oh well, that’s just my perfectionistic tendencies speaking out!
Yeah, I have no idea why there are SO many pinks in it!
Strange that there are some amazing shades there and yet a few real duds in one palette! I’ll definitely buy this when I have money though, it’s not a bad dupe for Viseart Boheme Dream which is more expensive!
Ooh, I can see the linkage between this and Boheme Dream!
I bought this after seeing your preview swatches (thank you)! I needed some bright sparkly shades I was missing for my lids and was willing to pay that much for a good turquoise alone! Got it for $8.75 on sale and threw in the other two Foil Eyes palettes based on your reviews. I’m looking forward to receiving this.
I do often work with a damp synthetic brush for my small lid space to intensify things (ELF spray), so I think this will work well for me! I really needed some of these shades and I think enough will work to make it more than worth the asking price!
$8.75 is a great deal!! 🙂
Glad to hear this will still work with you. Keep us posted on how you like the palettes when you’ve had a chance to play!
I will definitely be back with my thoughts! Hopefully it should be here in 1-2 weeks (Canadian).
Excited to play with all those colors!
Interesting review despite the fact that these are not shades that I would necessarily ever wear at this point in my life. I just received some palettes from my first order from BH Cosmetics just last week and upon my first test wearing they irritated my eyes. They got itchy and scratchy (not the cartoon) and I finally threw in the towel and took it all off. I’ll try again this week. Anyone else out there have this issue? I look forward to the answers, thanks!
Hmm, what palettes did you get? Are any of them by chance neons? Possibly a dye issue. Maybe talc? Talc is common in powder products, so I’d be surprised if you hadn’t experienced it with some other powder eyeshadow by now but possibly!
I purchased the Essential Eyes – 28 Color Eyeshadow Palette and the Studio Pro Dual Effect Wet/Dry Eyeshadow Palette: Universal. I’ve used a lot of eyeshadows in my life -in both dry and wet form powder, cream & stick – by all brands and have never had the itching and scratchy feel that I had with this brand. I tried it again this morning and had the same result. Needless to say, I am quite disappointed and I didn’t apply anything else that was different and used my usual brushes which I keep scrupulously clean. There is nobody else here that would even dare look at, let alone touch or use my war paint as that would be a death penalty offense – LOL! You may be correct about the dyes, because that is the only thing that came to my mind, or it could have something to do with the type of talc that is used and where it may have been mined. Beats me.
Very strange! I just know [edit: wrong ingredient] bismuth oxychloride can make some feel itchy. I also know that some neon-hued powders look like eyeshadows but are technically not safe for eyes (though worth noting, this is true in the US but the same pigments are safe for use on eyes in Canada and EU!).
Sorry to hear you’re having a reaction!
Pretty good grade for a fun, colorful palette to play with for such a great price point.
It was fun to play with!
I still bought this on sale for the shades that were good (it hasn’t arrived yet). I wonder why BH changed the formula, when the first Foil Eyes was so good? I have to say, the cost of the palette is worth it for the vivid, shimmery purple alone as far as I’m concerned.
I’m not sure! I didn’t notice as much of a difference between 1st and 2nd, but I really felt it in this one.
That one A+ bright purple makes the whole palette worth it! Those are few and far between.
Go figure that the purple would be great!
What a mammoth effort Christine to review all of these shades! Thank you so much, we really appreciate your hard work.
Now to the palette: firstly, there seems to be a lot of doubling up here of blue, pink and purple shades – BH could have reduced the palette by half.
Secondly, a few truly dud shades, a couple of so-so shades and some stellar ones, but I think if you have the original Foil Eyes, you would pretty much have most of them.
For the price, it is pretty good – but you would need some good mattes and softer shades to help you even out your eye look.
Mattes would be great to pair with it! I definitely don’t think that the Foil Eyes Palettes are best on their own since they are all pretty intense shimmers!
I just filmed a review of this for YouTube and I had the same thoughts. I’ve been using mine with setting spray to dampen my brush for Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. When I tried it dry it was just chunky and uneven on the lid. I do like the effect when using a damp brush, but this is not a palette for beginners or people who want quick and easy shimmery shades. The purples were nice, though!
Yeah, Fix+ or the like helps a lot, but the first palette (and most of the second!) definitely could be used as-is.
Not bad I liked all of the swatches except for a couple of the shadows. And a good deal getting all of those colors for $12.50. I like BH Cosmetics
Definitely very affordable!
based of they new formula in this pallet do you feel the lacking shades would do well with nice sticky bases like Nyx Milk to grab on too to boost hem to acceptable and more opaque?
Honestly, I would just use a dampened brush, whether with water or something like MAC Fix+ (glycerin works wonders, which that has). That worked really well to help bind and smooth out clumpy/chunky textures and improve payoff, application, etc.
I bought the original Foil Eyes after reading your review, and I bought the 2nd and 3rd palettes as soon as they were released. I’m really disappointed in this palette as a huge fan of the first two! That said, I hardly have any regrets at the price point, and I don’t mind shimmer shades that require a little babying. I also love a good chartreuse!
On an unrelated note, I’m so impressed by the speed with which you turn out a thorough review of a huge palette like this. Thank you!
I know! Two weeks, not bad, LOL! I’m thankful that while LE, BH had plenty of stock.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t thrilled with this palette – as you said, for the money, I don’t feel like I wasted it, but we know it could be better.
