BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Edition Palette ($22.50 for 1.06 oz.) includes 15 eyeshadows and six highlighters. It’s a new, limited life palette that is also available at Ulta. It will be available for a year, and then it will be removed from the line-up after that. I don’t expect to review this immediately, since it is not as urgent as several other palettes I have on my to-review list at the moment but hope to review it in the near future.

Very pretty. Wish the mattes looked a little better, but this would make a perfect weekender palette. I do have the original CB palette and there is definite similarity. Good value here. Looks like Ulta is now shipping to Canada. Doh.
Some of these shades are pretty! But, overall, I think this will be a pass! I wouldn’t use most of the shades!

I bought the first one. I wasn’t impressed with the texture and it was really boring so I decluttered it. This one appears a bit smoother and has some more variety. Won’t be purchasing though.. still too basic, and the only dark matte is quite awful. Would be a nice gift for a younger person or someone starting out.

I have mixed feelings about this palette. On one hand, I LOVE the highlighters. On the other hand, the eyeshadows are just okay. The shimmers are fine, but the mattes left me disappointed. They’re not very pigmented and as a dark-skinned lady, I want some pigmentation in my eyeshadows. I’m sure fair-medium skin tones would fare better with this palette.

Im dark and it works well for me. Sorry it didnt work well for you
This palette consists of very basic, staple shades, that at its price point, would appeal to younger makeup lovers who are starting their collections. A couple of standout shades: 4, 5 and 14 and a few matte duds.
I think there are probably too many highlighters in this offering too.
The original Carli Bybel was lovely.
It looks nice enough, but I am seriously chock full on neutrals at this point and may be able to find dupes around here for probably 75-80% of the eyeshadow shades, and even a few of the highlighters, too. I’m reserving judgement till after your review.

I really like the look of this palette, especially shade #4. All of these colors are ones that I’d wear. I might have to get this!

I love it… but I’ m waiting for your trustfull review before I order it…

I liked the first palette, I like the looks of this one too. It would make a nice weekend getaway palette if you wanted to pack light. I already have dupes for these colors in my stash, so I can save my money, but it would be a good palette for someone who doesn’t have a major makeup collection.
Silvia
Lovin the variation of shades for my cool self on this one over the Naked heated which I think would be all too warm. So pretty!
kellly
Oooh, I like those colors and there are enough shiny ones that I’ll probably buy this once it’s available at the Ultas around my area.

I wish that Too Faced Natural Love palette had been half as good as this looks. Seriously – Too Faced – look at color 4 – that’s what bunny nose should have looked like.

There’s a lot to like in this palette. Most are basics that I have dupes for, but a few look fun like 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 14; and at this price, why not. I don’t think we have these in stores around here though, am undecided if I will go to trouble to order online (I have no interest in dealing with Ulta.com). We’ll see. Thanks for posting this sneak peach, good to know about.
Not interested in this palette, but I have my eye on some of the colors. Can’t wait to see the dupes!

I purchased this about a week ago and it’s still in the mail. The shades look very pretty and the palette overall is unlike anything I already own. I’ve never purchased anything from BH Cosmetics before, so I’m curious to see how this performs. Based on these swatches I have high hopes. I’m glad you’ll be reviewing it Christine!
Overall, very nice. I like the first CB palette a lot.

#14 and #16 are STUNNING. I actually love the colour scheme here!!
I seem to be a sucker for the basics!!
The highlighters look nice, but the shadows are meh, wish the highlighters were sold separately
I’m impressed! This looks pretty solid – I definitely don’t need it but if I see it, I might snag it 🙂
I like colors like these, use them all the time, I like her original palette as well. If it rates well I will probably get it eventually.

The original Carli Bybel was lovely.
I have the first one and I like it. But I thought this new one was too similar to justify buying it.
14 and 21!!! Super excited for this. The first seven colors remind me of the TF Sweet Peach palette.
