Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today to review the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit. I know, I'm a little late to the game, but I've had this awhile and wanted to use it and get to know it before I reviewed it. To start off this kit comes in a thin black cardboard with a magnetic closure. I feel like this won't open, unless you open it yourself. I would have really loved a mirror, but there isn't one, so that kind of sucks, but the world will go on. It contains 6 powder shades with 3 highlighters on the top and 3 contour shades. All of them are matte, except for Sand which has a slight shimmer. Each pan can be removed and replaced when you use a shade up or you want to order a different shade, which there are many on the Anastasia website. 

Vanilla - This shade is a light off white cream shade. It is completely matte and blends really well. I like to use this to brighten up my under eye area.

Banana - This shade is a pale yellow/white color and is matte. I really love using this shade to set under eye concealer. It sets the concealer and helps brighten dark circles.

Sand - This shade is a shimmery nude, almost champagne color. It's not over the top shimmer, it's gives off that perfect dewy sheen on your cheekbones. It's the perfect highlight shade for any skin tone. 

Java - This shade is a warm matte brown but with neutral undertones. It can be easy to go a little heavy handed with this shade, so tap off your brush before applying.

Fawn - This shade is a cool neutral matte taupe color. I LOVE this shade, it is so perfect for contouring your cheekbones, forehead, nose, and jawline.

Havana - This shade is a very warm red based matte brown. It can tend to be a little orange, so I don't use this shade too often. 

Too finish off the review, I adore this palette. I think it's great for beginners or professional makeup artists and everyone in between. Any skin tone can use this palette. If you would like to purchase this, you can for $40 here.

Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW Pomade Review & Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here with a review of Anastasia DIPBROW in Chocolate. This is an eyebrow pomade that is in a deep warm brown color. This stuff is worth every penny. I finally understand all the hype that surrounds this product. It is insanely pigmented and does not budge at all. I put this on with an angled brow brush and combed through it with a spoolie and it did not smudge at all. It's crazy. I wore this when I jumped in the shower and after I got out, all my makeup was gone, but my eyebrows! It is very creamy and blends very well, but when it dries, it doesn't move. Seriously. All day. It's awesome. It is so easy to use and can look very natural. They have five different colors and I totally recommend it for anybody. If you would like to purchase this you can for $18 here, but it is sold out at this moment.

Anstasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz Review

Hey guys! I'm here today with a review of Anastasia's Brow Wiz. It retails for $21 and I got the color Ash Blonde for my grandmother. I obviously know this isn't my color because I have black hair, but I still used it to see if I would like the product for myself (in a different color). The first thing I noticed when I swatched this on my hand is that the twist up stick is really hard. I thought I didn't like that at first but then I remembered this is an eyebrow pencil, not an eyeliner. So it's a good thing that it won't smudge all over your eyebrows. There is great color payoff and you can groom your brows and sheer out the color with the spoolie on the other end of the pencil. I noticed my brows look really natural and it didn't wear off during the day which is awesome. The pencil itself is really small, so you can really get in there and define your brows. I will definitely buy this in another color! (Maybe in Brunette or Soft Brown). If you would like to purchase this product you can here.
