Firstly Happy New Year to all my followers! Thanks for staying ;-)
One of my friends introduced me to these palettes, and i wasted no time in getting them myself. These compact, sleek Lipstick Palettes certainly won me over.
I got the chance to put it to the test on myself and a few clients, and i must say i am pleased with these buys. Check it out!
Each palette retails for US$20 on the Black Opal website.

My thoughts:
I liked these because of the size of the palette, it’s not heavy at all and the amount of the product in each pan was a pleasant surprise. The mirror is HUGE, can’t go wrong with that!
I wanted some lipstick palettes for some time now for my makeup kit and these fit the bill perfectly. The nudes are a dream for the “naturalista” and perfect for brides and the plums well, they are for the divas (like me!) The lipsticks themselves are creamy and do not dry out the lips. I will still suggest that you apply a lip balm prior to applying the colors for added moisture. These lipsticks are all wearable individually or can be mixed for some added drama. I paired the nudes with some lipgloss as well.
These beauties retail at Pennywise Cosmetics for TT$113.00 per palette. A great buy if you ask me.
Have you tried Black Opal lipsticks? What are your thoughts?
