    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.
