    Hi, dolls!  I hope you all had a wonderful week.  Today, I'm bringing you my review of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism Eyeshadow Palette!  I'm generally a fan of the ABH Eyeshadow Palettes and have reviewed quite a few.  You can find my blogpost reviews on the cult fave Modern Renaissance Palette (review here), limited edition Master Palette by Mario (review here), and more controversial Subculture Palette (review here) .  Despite my previous varied experiences with Anastasia's Palettes, I felt I gave the palette a fair shot.
