This
past fall Anastasia Beverly Hills outdid themselves with the release of their
new Catwalk palette and Lavish Kit for Brows and Eyes. Of course, both palettes
were sold on the Anastasia website but each palette could only be purchased at
specific beauty vendors.
The two palettes have similar shadows that have very warm colors but they do need a little work and a good base to get that color payoff. I personally love both of the palettes and kit and recommend both of them as good fall palettes but it’s not necessary to have both of them. One palette works just fine.
The
$29 Catwalk palette can be purchased in stores or online at Ulta. The Lavish
Brow and Eye Kit is no longer available at Sephora or Nordstrom but can be
found on various biding sites for purchase.The Lavish palette is sold separately online.
This
fall Anastasia Beverly Hill’s new products were all the buzz online for must
have fall palettes. Of course I had to get my hands on them to see what all the
fuss was all about. They had released a couple of palettes and one of them was the
Catwalk palette. This palette consists of shadows that vary in texture and
finishes and come in a variation of 10 shades that fall in the warm tones and a
double ended brush that has a paddle shaped brush and a pencil brush on
opposite sides.
The actual palette itself is cat themed. It has a yellow base and a black felt leopard pattern on the cover. The pattern is also printed onto the flat surfaces of the inside of the palette and is shaded a cool blue and green. It has a reasonable sized mirror for the size of the palette but isn’t very convenient when doing a full face of makeup.
This palette is loveable because it is full of warm neutrals that are easily transition from a day to night look. I think this palette is reasonably priced and worth the price if you want a little sparkle in your usual neutral looks.
This
The Lavish Kit for Brows and Eyes does not only include a set of shadows but it also has a bonus kit
of items that hidden beneath the 10 shade removable eyeshadow palette. These items are all placed in a
beautifully made box with a built-in mirror, that also holds a booklet that
demonstrates step-by-step instructions on looks
that can easily be recreated. The items include a full-sized tweezers, a miniature Perfect Eyebrow Pencil in 'Dark
Brown', a Covet Waterproof Eyeliner in 'Noir' and a double ended lining and blending eyeshadow brush.
If
you don’t already own one you need to get your hands on a set of Anastasia
tweezers. I must say that theses tweezers perform very well.
I was thrilled to be able to try them and I was not disappointed. I’m a
sucker for waxed eyeliner pencils and am not too crazy about the crayons but it
did the job and I can’t complain. The Covet Waterproof Eyeliner is easily
smudged before setting for a smoky look and it
glides on with ease and is dark with great pigmentation.
The
removable palette contains an array of shadows from glitters to shimmer and
even a couple of mattes to even out the palette. These shadows are nicely
paired together and definitely remind me of the color of fall. They can be worn
toned down for an everyday look, or glam your look up for a fancy date or a
night out on the town.
Top row shades names from left to right: cream, antique, rum cake, moss, and truffle
Bottom row shades from left to right: balette, orange soda, sienna, pink sapphire, and black diamond.
To
sum it up, this kit is a staple in my collection and I've already had a lot of
use out of it! It may seem a little pricey but for the amount of items you
receive in this kit, it is well worth the price, especially if you’re just
starting out and are looking to try new things by different companies to see
what you like. It's definitely convenient for traveling as it has all of the
basic essentials a makeup obsessed person as myself could possibly need on the
road. The
Lavish Brow and Eye Kit is no longer available at Sephora or Nordstrom but can
be found on various biding sites for purchase online The Lavish palette is sold separately from the kit and can be found online.
