Anastasia Beverly Hills -Tamanna Eye Shadow Palette

2014-11-12T13:33:00.001-05:00

The perfect fall and holiday palette designed in collaboration with makeup artist Tamanna Roashan, @dressyourface.

This collection of versatile shadows constitutes Tamanna’s “must have” shades to achieve her most requested looks on any skin tone. The combination of warm and cool tones combine to create anything from smokey eyes to intricate cut creases, all from a single palette. Specially formulated, high-impact pigments in rich neutrals and shimmering jewel tones go on smoothly and eliminate the need for overbuilding when applying. - Anastasia Beverly Hills

My Thoughts:

I have to agree that this is the perfect palette for fall. It has become a rare occasion when I can do a complete eye look from one palette and this is one of those rare occasions.

For me, this palette offers everything that I would need for a complete eye look. I can see myself using Sangria, Gilded and China Rose for my one eye shadow look days, while Venezia and Sangria can be used to wake up any boring eye shadow look. Bengal, Chocolate and Noir sealed the deal for me with this palette. Bengal is the perfect transition color for me, and Chocolate is perfect for creating a more dramatic look. Noir is perfect for setting my Eyeliner and turning a daytime look into a night time look.

Needless to say, this palette has quickly become a favorite for me. The quality and pigmentation for these eye shadows leave nothing to be desired. I would definitely purchase this again.

Sephora

My thoughts:

I really want this one, but the reviews on these have been mixed; mostly in favor negative. I purchased a lot of the Kat Von D Tainted Love Lipsticks and they did not age well, so I'm hesitant to try these.

I don't have a Sephora in my city, so returning products is a bit of a headache. With this, I am in need of some help. If you have purchased these, I would love to hear your thoughts on them as a comment below.

Sephora

My Thoughts:

This is on my wishlist of items that I "don't need but I want". Right away, the colors in the palettes look right up my alley, though the one thing that concerns me about this palette are the cream colors. I have never had good luck with any palette that includes cream and powder products in the same palette; the powder products always in up in the cream products.

If you purchased this one please, I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Is it a good palette?

My thoughts:
The Best in Black set comes with one eyeshadow, two eyeliners and a mascara for $69.00; for me, this is not a good deal. If the gift card and costume jewelry are included in the price of the set, then it's not a good deal for me at all. When buying makeup, I'm not buying costume jewelry and a gift card to a place where I do not shop, which is of no use to me.

I may be missing something with this set, so if you get why this is a good value, please explain it to me. Needless to say, this is not on my wish list.

Make Up For Ever - 30 Years. 30 Colors. 30 Artists. Swatches

2014-09-06T19:22:00.000-04:00

The Smoky Palette:

All of these Eyeshadows in this palette were a dream to swatch. I wanted to see how the Eyeshadows performed on their own, so I didn't use an Eyeshadow primer.

The Neutral Palette:

This palette was also easy to swatch. All of the eyeshadows applied smoothly with minimal fallout.

The Artistic Palette:

I-922 was difficult to swatch, as I had to apply several layers to get the color to look as vibrant as in the pan. Overall, I would say that the Artistic Palette is the most vibrant of the collection.

These are just swatches - I want to take some time and use these before I review them. Stay tuned - you don't want to miss out on the review!

Make Up For Ever - 30 Years. 30 Colors. 30 Artists.

2014-09-06T12:53:00.000-04:00

Available: September 04, 2014 for VIB Rouge only =and September 09, 2014 for everyone.

What it is:
A limited-edition eye shadow palette featuring 30 shades with five finishes and an included pamphlet with tricks and tips for creating eye looks.

What it does:
Make Up For Ever’s 30th Anniversary Palette was curated by 30 elite makeup artists to bring together 30 rare palette shades that are inspired by each artist’s unique journey within the industry. Separated into individual palettes of smoky, neutral, and artistic shades, this extensive collection features a vast range of shades with five different finishes, and it includes a collectible pamphlet with tips and tricks from each of the 30 elite artists. Its innovative, gel-powder formula has super-saturated pigments that provide intense color payoff with superior blendability. Mix and match your favorite shadows create your own unique eye looks.

What else you need to know:
This palette includes a collectible pamphlet featuring tips and tricks from each of the 30 elite artists and 30 eye shadow shades that range from smoky to neutral to artistic colors. The shades range from smoky, to nude, to one-of-a-kind artistic eye shadows.

My Thoughts:
This palette turned me into a stalker! I have been stalking Sephora's website since I heard about this palette a few weeks ago and I have finally got my hands on it! This palette is beautiful with its spot-on color choices, which couldn't be more perfect for me. I haven't swatched them yet, as I wanted to take some pictures of the palette first. Now that I have photographed it, it's time to play.

The price tag on this one is very high at first glance ($250), but when you break it down, it's a little more reasonable. Each Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow sells for $21 each and if you want a palette, you have to purchase it separately. The cost of each Eyeshadow in this palette is $8.33 each, so that's a big discount off the regular price, and you get a very nice palette.

This palette is limited edition, so if you are considering getting this, you should not wait too long as I'm sure this one will sell out fast. I will try very hard to have these swatched by the end of today.

My Thoughts:

I have been so excited about these palettes since I first saw them on the internet. There are four palettes in this collection: Body, Mind, Spirit, Soul. Each palettes has 12 eyeshadows. Being an eyeshadow palette junkie, I'm always in search of the next perfect palette. From the photos, these palettes look like my dream palette: Simple, elegant and classy. The packaging is absolutely beautiful with its glossy, mirror-like finish; Stila did a wonderful job in designing the packaging. I've had these for about a week now and wanted to take some time to play with these before I did my review on them. To see if the eyeshadows are as nice as the packaging, stay tuned for my review.

Since I couldn't just pick one or two palettes, the price was a little steep for all four. So after some digging and a lot of searching I figured out how to get a nice discount on these.

I was able to get 20% discount and 8% cash back on each palette. To do the same, go to Stilacosmetics.com and sign up for their newsletter. After signing up, you should receive an email with a 20% off code (new subscribers only). Go to Ebates.com and use the link for Stila Cosmetics to make your purchase. Use the discount code from the Stila Newsletter email and you will receive 20% off your purchase and 8% cash back from Ebates.

If you are a new customer to Ebates, you will receive an additional $5 sign up bonus when you make your first purchase of $25 or more.

Yes I actually do all the steps when purchasing anything. I refuse to pay more when I can pay less.

My Thoughts:
When I first saw this Bronzer, I thought that this could be a less expensive alternative to my Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Tailor-Made Bronzing Powder Ebony and it is. This is not a dupe - but an alternative to the Guerlain Bronzer.

There are three brown matte shades and one red matte shade in this palette. The three brown shades in this palette are perfect for a Bronzer; the darkest brown can be used as a contour color for my NC50 skintone. I'm not a fan of using Bronzer for contouring, but if in a bind, I just might give it a try. The red shade is perfect as Blush - it's actually a very pretty Blush.

Mixing all the shades together, I ended up with a Blush rather than a Bronzer. I tried several time to mix them together so that the red didn't overpower the other shades. When all the shades are mixed together, it's too red for me to use as a Bronzer. For me, the perfect Bronzer will have red or yellow undertones; this mix is just too red.

As with my Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Tailor-Made Bronzing Powder Ebony, I am using only the brown shades as a Bronzer and the red shade as a Blush. With only the brown shades mixed together, this is a very pretty Bronzer.

Overall, I really like this Bronzer and at $11.49, I would definitely purchase this over the $75 Guerlain Bronzer.

I will be doing a comparison of this Bronzer and the Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Tailor-Made Bronzing Powder Ebony soon, so stay tuned.

My Thoughts:
These are an instant love of me and my lipstick hoarding. I have decided to stop calling it a makeup colleciton and start calling it what it really is; hoarding gone wild. I still use my wall lisptick storage, but it's completely filled so I had to find something else to hold more lip products. While browsing the interenet, I found these. They each hold 60 lipsticks each and sit securely on top of my Ikea Alex 9 chests. All of my round lipsticks fit perfectly, as well as most of my square lipsticks. My Milani Color Statement lipsticks fit perfectly, while my Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick are a tight fit. I have yet to find any cons to these, so for all of you lipstick hoarders, this is yet another storage option.

While browsing Azar's website, I saw a lot of awesome storage options for makeup. The crazy in me put together a really beautiful makeup room, (in my mind, of course). The end result would have had my bedroom looking like a makeup store. I'm pretty sure that my husband would have moved me and my makeup collection into the garage. Since I don't want to sleep in the garage, I got a grip and moved on.

I am happy with the lipstick and lip gloss storage from Azar. If you decide to purchase some of these storage units, I would love to see what you put together. Feel free to email me your link and I will add it to this post.

I purchased these at Staples for $17.29 each with free shipping. You can also purchase these at Azar Displays, but with the shipping charges, Staples turned out to be cheaper.

I purchased the Azar Lip Gloss Holder from Staples as well.
