    February 16, 2018 / 0 Comments

    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.

    Happy Friday, loves!  I hope you all had a wonderful week.  Today, I'm bringing you my review of the highly controversial Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette!  Wow, has there ever been this much of an uproar over eyeshadow?  I am a huge fan of the ABH Eyeshadow Palettes, particularly the cult fave Modern Renaissance Palette (review here) and the Master Palette by Mario (review here).  I'll admit firsthand, I've watched plenty of review videos on the Subculture Palette, ranging from favorable to highly critical.  Still, I'm here to give the palette a fair shot and provide my honest opinions, based on my own experience.

    Happy November, loves!  Today, I am so stoked to kick off the new month by reviewing the much anticipated Anastasia Beverly Hills Master Palette by Mario!  I previously reviewed the ABH Modern Renaissance Palette (review here) and I LOVED the stunning assortment of high quality eye shadows.  It easily became one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes of all time!  I immediately ordered the Mario Palette the moment it went live on the Ulta App, as I was eager to dive into it and see how it stacks up to my beloved ABH Eyeshadow Palettes.
