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.

BY BEAUTY BAY Fiery 16 Colour Palette

This is the third BY BEAUTY BAY make-up product I’ve tried and I did see it on the website when it first launched, but never picked it up. It was always sold out anyway so I couldn’t get it and the packaging has just been re-vamped for all of their palettes and all of the products were re-stocked. I decided to pick this one up because of the size, it’s not too small and it’s not too big. The nine shade version of this palette is all matte, and I really like shimmers/metallic and the massive forty-two shade version is too big (too many shades and too big to store in my drawers). I thought the sixteen shade palette would be the perfect medium. My palette actually arrived faulty; one of the eyeshadows is missing (Burnt Sienna). In the spot were Burnt Sienna should be there is actually a duplicate of another shade in the palette (Sunstone). Basically, I have two Sunstone eyeshadows and I should only have one. I don’t have the shade Burnt Sienna when I should have one of them (abov...

Morphe X Jaclyn Hill Volume II Palette

This palette has been out for a while now and I did purchase it a while ago, but I have only just decided to really play with it. Morphe palettes in general put me off because of the size of them, no shade names, boring packaging and too many shades in some palettes. The colour story of this palette in particular is really attractive to me. I didn’t buy Volume I as I didn’t want to jump on the band wagon, the size of the packaging and the colour story is just boring to me. I did pick up the Vault Collection (four palettes) and what a massive disappointment it was too (now decluttered)!! I was initially put off this palette due to my past experiences, but the colour story though! Also, a good thing about the Morphe website is that you can always get 10% off your order with an affiliate code.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is a quite large thin rectangular shape. It is made out of glossy white cardboard and it has the branding and information printed in metallic silver font on the fro...

Anastasia Beverly Hills X Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit

This palette became a cult favourite in the beauty sphere when it was first released as a limited edition product in collaboration with Nicole Guerriero (Beauty Influencer on YouTube), and there have been many calls to bring it back. In 2020, Anastasia Beverly Hills finally listened after three long years! I only actually heard about this palette after it had completely sold out and was no longer available. I must have been living under a rock at some point during 2017, because I completely missed this product! I am glad I finally got the chance to get my hands on this palette and I have heard nothing but raving reviews. There are six metallic highlighter shades, which should be highly luminous. They have a refined formula that should deliver buildable coverage with a smooth finish. The shades were created to flatter all skin tones and they can be applied anywhere on the face, eyes, lips and body. The palette is cruelty-free and vegan. You can purchase the palette for £42.00 (...
