I remember a time when Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH) was solely a brow product brand. And look at it now! According to Sephora, their many popular product is their Modern Renaissance Eye shadow Palette. You know me, I can’t commit to a large scale palette so I was quite psyched when I learned that ABH launched single refills as well as a customizable palette.
I got these best before Christmas last year as gifts to myself.
ABH currently provides a whopping 104 colours in their single shadow line. They’re divided into 7 finishes: Satin, Metallic, Ultra-Matte, Velvet, Shimmer, Titanium, Duo-chrome, as well as sparkle (the finishes are noted differently on Sephora versus ABH’s site – I default to ABH’s descriptions).
The eye shadow singles sell regularly for C$16 each, as well as the empty 4-pan palette is valued at $8. Sephora provides a filled palette for $56 ($74 value), which is a $18 savings.
Each pan includes between 1.5g to 1.7g of product (Chiffon as well as chocolate Crumble are 1.5g, Rosette is 1.6g, as well as comfort is 1.7g) – similar to other single shadows. The packaging for each refill is very secure, each pan is housed in a plastic clam shell inside cardboard sleeves.
After comprehensive research, I settled on these 4 colours:
Chiffon: antique gold (Titanium)
Comfort: antique copper (Satin)
Chocolate Crumble: smoky amethyst (Titanium)
Rosette: burgundy shimmer (Titanium)
I’ve evaluated out these eye shadows for about a month as well as here are my thoughts on them.
I was many looking forward to trying the Titanium finish shades – thus why I got 3 of them! – as they look beautiful in the swatches I’ve seen online. I would describe the Titanium finish as a shinier than a shimmer, but not as shiny as a metallic. The formulas aren’t consistent across the 3 Titanium finishes I tried. Chiffon as well as chocolate Crumble are many similar – their texture are a bit chunkier as well as behave like pressed pigment. Rosette is drier as well as less pigmented, as well as apply much more like a velvet finish. comfort is a Satin finish as well as applied quite similar to Chiffon – I found both to be very smooth as well as pigmented. The colours are lovely when swatched:
A major issue I faced was that while the shadows applied well on the lids with a shader brush (in a patting motion), as soon as I started to blend, the colour would blend away to nothing. I often had to add 2 or 3 layers to maintain the intensity I wanted. There was likewise quite a bit of fall out – I feel as though there’s a binding ingredient missing from this shadow formula. The inconsistency between the Titanium finish likewise implied the 3 shades carry out differently: I found both chocolate Crumble as well as Rosette to fade on my lids as well as crease at around the 6 hr mark. comfort as well as Chiffon lasted better but the longest they stayed looking intact was around 8 hrs (I always use my typical primer as well as eye base). To put the hours into perspective – I get ready in the mornings at around 7am, as well as by around 1pm, my eye shadows are starting to fade as well as crease.
I was expecting much more of these shadows because so numerous people rave about the quality of ABH eye shadow palettes. Plus, these are $16 each (compare that to $8 for MAC refills). I was amazed that out of the 4 shades I tried, my preferred [turned out to be] the shade Comfort, the lone Satin finish! Rosette was my least favourite. At the end of the day, I’m uncertain if I’d purchase much more ABH shadows – there are just so numerous brands / options out there.
Interestingly, Chiffon, comfort as well as chocolate Crumble are made in the US, whereas Rosette is made in Italy.
Actually, I do really like the ABH empty palette – it is nearly identical to the MAC 4-pan pro palette except there are indents to much more easily remove each refill pan. Unlike the MAC palette, the ABH palette itself is magnetized while the refill pans are not (the reverse is true for MAC’s system).
MAC on the left, ABH on the right
Den beste delen? The ABH empty palette is now offered on Sephora for only $1, no strings attached! I’m fairly certain this is new price drop – I guess the idea is that one would purchase the ABH eye shadow singles to fill the palette, but I’m probably going to just refill them with other 26mm eye shadow refills (MAC, ColourPop, mug etc).
Pros:
• highly pigmented
• broad variety of shades as well as finishes
• blends well
Ulemper:
• Colours blend away easily
• significant fall out
• Not long wearing (fading as well as creasing)
• expensive compared to other refill systems
Stash worthiness: 6/10
I ought to qualify that my rating is restricted to just these 4 shades that I’ve tried. maybe this is a severe overall rating, but I just have no tolerance for expensive eye shadows that carry out poorly. I would specify that the shade comfOrt er en 7/10 så vel som den tomme paletten er en 9/10.
Her er noen sammenligninger mellom ABH -fargene så vel som andre lignende nyanser i stashen min:
Chiffon mot Shu Uemura P Gold 350, Mac Sea Worship, samt kystdufter Cherry Moss
Kystdufter Cherry Moss er ganske lik bortsett fra den varme basefargen.
Komfort mot Mac Woodwinked, Ardency Inn Rose Gold, samt Shisiedo BR214 inn i Woods Trio (venstre panne)
På øyelokkene er Shiseido lik.
Sjokolade smuldre mot Mac Stolen Moment, Satin Taupe, samt Lancome Timeless Taupe
Det burde ikke komme som noen overraskelse at jeg generelt eier den samme taupefargen 3 ganger over. Formelen på de andre utfører mye bedre enn ABH skjønt.
Rosette mot Mac Rich Core, Burberry Mulberry, samt MUFE D826 FIG
Mufe Fig har en lignende tone, men den er mye mye mer glitrende.
Det er alltid interessant å prøve å finne lignende nyanser – noen av dem ser så like ut i pannen, men når de blir besatt, ser de ikke så like ut, så vel som omvendt!
Disse skyggene er mine første ABH -produkter. Har du prøvd ABH øyenskygger? Eller andre ABH -gjenstander? Hva tenker du om dem? Jeg er fremdeles usikker på dette merket – jeg har hørt at leppeproduktene deres forventes å være gode.
