Seven Days Of Makeup Using One Palette | Anastasia Beverly Hills


I was so excited when I found out that the extremely talented Amrezy was working with Anastasia Beverly Hills to launch her own eyeshadow palette. I knew that I would have to buy the palette because first of all I wanted to support her and her success and second I've always been interested in trying out Anastasia's shadow palettes. So obviously this was the perfect opportunity for me to show my support and test out the quality of their shadows.

The picture above is a shot of the palette packaging, it is so gorgeous! Have I ever mentioned that I love leopard print? The edges are a nice gold however the actual palette inside is not the same. The edges are more of a silver bronzy as you can see the palette below is not the same as the packing sleeve. I do love how Amrezy's name is incorporated on the palette.


The inside of the palette carries a mirror on the top and has a protective plastic over it. The mirror is real good quality not like others I have seen in other palettes. I personally keep the plastic over it because I don't use it and I don't want it getting dirty. Is that weird? Does anyone else do that with palettes? Anyway because it does have a nice mirror this is a nice palette to take with you when you travel.


Legend is a frosty yellow toned shade that is light enough for the tear duct area and can double as a highlight. Glisten is a shimmery peachy color perfect for the lid. Topaz is a gorgeous bronze for the lid and crease however I'm not exactly sure why they named it Topaz. Iridescent Purple is just that an Iridescent Purple and the best thing of all the purple does not irritate my eye (usually purple shadows make my eye whites red). Emerald is the perfect Forrest green and looks great on green eyes. Vanilla is a nice shade for the lid, brow bone, and inner tear duct. Camel is warm matte orange brown and and looks great in the crease as a transition color and in the lower lash line to ground your looks. Morocco is has more a brick red-orange tone that helps to darken the crease. Deep Plum swatches a bit blotchy but it works just fine when applied with a brush, looks great as a smokey eye. LBD is an OK black, it swatches just fine but I do have to say that the palette could do without it.

The Amrezy palette also comes with a dual ended brush which is so helpful. One side is small and fluffy perfect for concentrating color in the crease and lower lash line. The other side a larger shader brush which can double as a blending brush.
