Anastasia Beverly Hills Shadow Couture| World Traveler Palette Swatches & Review

Assalamu wa Alaykum/ Hi,

Today's post is going to be about the new limited edition World Traveler palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills. This palette came out a couple weeks ago and I bought it from Sephora for $30.


 It comes with 12 eyeshadows and a dual ended eyeshadow brush.



All of the shadows in this palette are very creamy and smooth. I'm not very familiar with shadows from Anastasia. This my first time trying them and I must say that I'm impressed!

The only thing is that it looks like my palette is crooked on the inside. The bottom part of the palette doesn't seem to match up with the top.

Here are the swatches:



On my arm, some of the lighter shades (Bellini, Pink Champagne, and Chic) didn't last very long. They came off as my arm brushed my clothes as I walked around. I'm used to my shadows being able to stay for the most part. However, they did last as long as I needed them to on my eyes.

I have a makeup tutorial using this palette coming up on my YouTube channel this week. So, be on the look out for that.

I think this palette is definitely worth the money. If you like it and you want it definitely go pick it up!

So, That's it.
Until Next Time,

Aleema :)

Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Summer Liquid Lipstick & Waterproof creme color

Assalamu wa Alaykum/ Hi,

Today's post is going to be on the two products I picked from Anastasia Beverly Hills' summer collection. I know that she is coming out with some more liquid lipstick colors in July and I plan to pick one of those up too.

The two products I have are the liquid lipstick in Craft and the water color in Ice Blue. The lipstick is $20 and the waterproof creme color is $18



Craft is a pinkish berry color. 

This was my first time trying the ABH liquid lipsticks and I have to disagree with some of the negative reviews that they've received.
  • It does wear off if you eat greasy food. I had a hamburger and fries when I wore this lipstick and it only wore off in the middle of my lips. However, everywhere else it was fine.
  • It reapplies well. I reapplied the lipstick, after I ate, to the middle of my lips and it blended in with the lipstick from the first application well.
  • It doesn't bleed outside the lip line. Since this dries matte, it stayed within my lip line.
  • You can feel it on your lips. Especially on the inside of your lips where the lipstick ends, that line is noticeably dryer. However, it's not restricting.
  • It didn't go into the lines of my lips. However, I know some people said that it was the light colors that settled into the lines of the lips. 
  •  
     
I picked up one of the waterproof creme colors in the shade Ice Blue. Ice Blue is light bright blue. It reminds me of a sky blue.


  • It's more moisturizing than I thought it would be. It's not exactly creamy but it wasn't dry like I expected it to be. 
  • It dries relatively quickly. So, you have to be fast with it. You can't apply it to both eyes then blend it out.
  • You can use it as a base or a as an eyeliner. Some people have used the pink/reddish colors as lipstick. I used it as an eyeliner in the picture below.

So, I really like the two items that I picked up and I plan to pick up more things from this brand.

So, That's It.
Have you tried anything from the summer collection? What did you like?
