Anastasia Beverly Hills X Jackie Aina Palette

This palette is in collaboration with Jackie Aina, who is a Beauty Influencer on YouTube. It is mean’t to be limited edition, but it has been out almost a year now and it is still for sale. I feel like it didn’t quite get it’s full moment and time to shine as the Carli Bybel (also a Beauty Influencer on YouTube) collaboration palette was released not long after. Up until the pandemic hit, Anastasia Beverly Hills were known for quickly putting out new products with little time left in between new launches. Nevertheless, this palette does look beautiful.
The packaging is the usual ABH slim rectangle shape and it is made out of metallic faux leather and has a crocodile scale print. The base of the print is a kind of nude shade and it reflects green, blue, pink, yellow, orange and purple. Almost like a duo-chrome eyeshadow. It has a magnetic closing which you lift up to reveal the inside. The inside has a black base containing the small square eyeshadow pans, the shade names are written in gold underneath each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid.  It is a limited edition product available for £46.00 ($45.00) from AnastasiaBeverlyHills.co.uk, AnastasiaBeverlyHills.com and BeautyBay.com.

You get fourteen 0.7g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) finishes.

The following shades are Pressed Pigments and are not intended for use around the immediate eye area; Supreme, Pinker and Big Wig. Pressed pigments can cause temporary staining to the area of skin they are applied to.

You also get a dual ended eyeshadow brush; A12 Small Contour Brush and A3 Firm Shader Brush.

There are not really any claims for this palette, but I am expecting the shades to be vibrant and extremely pigmented. I am also expecting them to blend easily. There should be some kick back in the eyeshadow pans, but I am not expecting lots of fallout on my face. The palette is cruelty-free, but not vegan (contains Carmine).
This palette is amazing quality and I love the packaging. The eyeshadows are extremely pigmented, blend easily and seamlessly and are long wearing. I always recommend using a sticky base/eye primer to enhance the eyeshadows. I didn’t really notice any staining from the pressed pigment shades; this may be down to using a base. You will always get kick-back in the eyeshadow pans, mostly from the matte shades and it can seem like a lot. I only got a little fall-out from the metallic shades, especially the shade Zamn, which I wasn’t expecting from the first use of it. I recommend applying glitter glue before using Zamn, as it has more of a cream and glitter texture and you really want it to stick to your eye and the other metallic shades will pop more if used wet. I find using a stiff flat synthetic brush or your finger is the best way to apply the metallic shades.

My favourite shades are Zamn and Trust Issues. Zamn is absolutely stunning and very reflective and Trust Issues looks like a frosty white in the pan but on the eye it is a beautiful sort of duo-chrome gold and it is the perfect inner corner highlight shade. There are no downsides for me with this palette, but some people would miss the fact that there isn’t a light matte shade to set your base with or use under the brow bone. I never set my eye base and I can always use a different eyeshadow for under my brow if Trust Issues looks too intense there.  

This is without a doubt, the best ABH palette I’ve used so far! I have previously owned the Couture World Traveller, Norvina and Modern Renaissance Palettes and I currently have the Riviera Palette and this palette beats all of those! I would still really like to try the Carli Bybel and Amrezy Collaboration Palettes, but I think I will hold off for now. I am also interested in the ABH Norvina Volume 4 Palette, but I believe the formula is mean’t to be different and it is extremely expensive!! Overall I am so glad that I decided to pick up the Jackie Aina Palette and I 100% recommend it.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too!

You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.
