Hey everyone! So this is going to be my first review, on the Lavish palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills. I'm going to start off by saying it is definitely a FALL FAVOURITE for me. I use it almost daily, and the colours are very versatile and easy to work with and apply.
Inside the palette is a small booklet with pictorals from Youtube&Instagram Gurus and some helpful tips on applying the eyeshadows, also a terrrible mirror that I don't think I'll ever use, unless I want to look like I'm doing my makeup in a fun-house.
The bottom of the palette contains tweezers(which are AWESOME), an eyebrow pencil in Dark Brown, an black waterproof retractable eyeliner(also very nice) and a double sided brush. One side is a fluffy paddle-type, and the other side is a small dome shape. I never used the brush so I can't tell you how well it is, but it's very soft.
And finally, the colours! The palette has a slide out cover, which I don't particularly like. I prefer a cover that folds over because I feel like it protects the shadows more.
Close up of the two lightest colours-Cream and Ballet. They are both VERY sheer and mostly just enhance my dry eyelids(yaaay-not)
The swatch pictures were taken in natural daylight, beside a window with Too Faced Shadow Insurance underneath.
CREAM
BALLET
ANTIQUE
ORANGE SODA
RUM CAKE
SIENNA
MOSS
PINK SAPPHIRE -I was pretty bummed about this colour, honestly it was the reason I wanted the pallete. It's difficult to apply, I had to really pack on the colour and the fallout is horrible! Disappointing
TRUFFLE
BLACK DIAMOND -On the pan this has multi-coloured glitter in it, although when applied it looks more matte. The glitter seemed to disappear and fall all over my face
OVERALL
Packaging: 3/5 It's pretty bulky, and I feel like you couldn't just take the palette, you need the whole box or the shadows could break.
Colour Payoff: 4/5 The shadows apply amazing, are easy to blend and there is minimal fallout-minus a few colours
Price: 5/5 Here in Canada it was $49 at Sephora, but for the amount you get I think it's definitely worth it, considering JUST tweezers and two eye pencils would probably amount to over $50
Do I recommend it? Absolutely! If you're in need of a gorgeous fall palette definitely take a look at this one, as I'm sure it wont disappoint.
Thanks for reading!
