I tried Pixie Epoxy by Fyrinnae, UDPP, TF Shadow Insurance, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk and the Julep eyeshadow primer, and it just would not stay on. While it looks amazingly gorgeous on, it doesn’t photograph well, and it doesn’t last, even with heavy duty primer. Gold Bar is one shade that I wasn’t quite as happy with. This one is a bit more pigmented than Salted Caramel from the Chocolate Bar Palette, but very close to the same color. It’s good for neutral looks, transition/crease shades, or just as an all-over look. I can’t get over how gorgeous the shade is!Ĭaramel is a staple shade in any palette. I’d use this as an all-over shadow or as a pop of shine on an otherwise matte eye. At first glance, it reminded me a lot of Black Forest Truffle from the Chocolate Bar Palette, but the application was just out of this world! It’s a little more pink than BFT, and the shimmer is a lot more pronounced. Again, easy to remove but lasts all day, with or without primer. I’d use this for some of my more over-the-top cut crease looks, as a shimmery transition shade versus a matte one. It’s very easy to remove!įresh Peach is a near-matte, but not quite, and a pinky-orange. Although the shadow is soft, it doesn’t crumble or produce fallout, and removing it doesn’t leave behind that extra bit of sparkle that takes extra elbow grease to get off. Medium pigmentation, easily buildable and smooth as can be, this is in my top three favorites of this palette. It is, however, a bit patchy on the application and requires some work to get it even.Īqua is gorgeous with or without primer. Just the slightest hint of shimmer gives it that little something extra that many white shades are lacking. Vanilla will definitely be a highlight shade. I found the pigmentation to be a bit lighter with this one, but it applied smoothly and was easy to build up. Warm Taupe is another staple, used for neutral looks and smokey eyes. They were always either patchy or too light, but this is on point! Blended out, this is a perfect transition/crease color, or it can just be used all over the lid for a spicy look that’s wearable yet exotic! This matte shade is one I haven’t been able to get right in any other palettes. I can see this being used a lot as a liner. It also applied a little patchy without a primer.ĭeep Brown is very pigmented and buttery smooth. Nude is unfortunately almost a spot-on match for my pale skin, so it’s probably going to be very rare that I get to use it, unless using it as a blender or a browbone highlight, possibly. I actually tossed them without thinking about it so I didn’t get to take my own photos! As they were just a little extra in the palette, I didn’t mind having them in there, but I really didn’t find the looks very attractive. I’ve included a photo from a blog I found, called Lethal Glam, of the five “Get the look” cards that came included with this palette. My personal favorites are Glisten, Fresh Peach and Aqua! Soft without being powdery, they glide onto your skin easily and clearly, and blend like a dream. I found the pigmentation to be moderate, but very easy to build up. Some matte, shimmers, a lot of neutrals and some bold pops of color. I wanted to give myself time to try it a few times before posting about it!Īs you can see, there are 10 gorgeous shades in the palette. Those reasons seemed good enough for me, so I ordered the palette early last week. Third, because I have never had a bad product from ABH, and for $29, you can’t really go wrong. Second, the packaging! We all know I’m a sucker for pretty things, and have you seen it? So gorgeous! I chose Maya Mia for a number of reasons.įirst, one of my favorite YouTube MUAs/Bloggers, Sam from Batalash has been using it, and I just love the looks she’s created! Designed in collaboration with YouTube/Instagram Makeup Guru Maya Janeska and Anastasia Beverly Hills, I thought this was a really cool idea! There are also two other palette collaborations, Amrezy and Tamanna. I recently got the Anastasia Beverly Hills Maya Mia palette. I was busy moving and stressing and budgeting the last month and a half, but now that that’s all over with, I can get back on track! I know it’s been a WHILE since my last post.
