Anastasia of Beverly Hills: She Wears It Well Eye Shadow Palette

Happy Thursday/ Friday! :)

I meant to do this post earlier today, but things got a little crazy busy... and then I started watching reruns of Laguna Beach (#RetroMTV, anyone?). This drama-filled "reality" show is so bad, but so addicting, haha! 

One thing I noticed though is that (besides their less-than-fashionable outfits) they need help in the makeup department... 

And then I realized how far I've come myself when it comes to makeup -- I didn't use to care about putting on makeup at all. So thanks to all the makeup bloggers out there, I've really learned a lot! :)

Anyway, speaking of makeup, let's talk about the newest palette from Anastasia of Beverly Hills! :D

I can't get over how cool this black bubble wrap envelope is! ;)

She Wears It Well is Anastasia’s new Hollywood glamour with modern moxie inspired mirrored palette of nine pigment-rich matte and shimmer shadows in nude and neutral shades that impart a sophisticated smolder to the eyes.

How pretty, right?!

It came with exclusive promotional face charts that offer tips on how to get the most use out of the She Wears It Well palette -- they are amazing and so helpful (especially for someone who needs a lot of practice with eye makeup, haha!). 

I'll be sharing those face charts with you guys on a separate post, I'm so excited! ;)

But, back to the palette:

She Wears It Well Eye Shadow Palette 

(Price: $34)

Classic Hollywood glamour with modern moxie. Nude meets knockout with these nine pigment-rich matte and shimmer shadows that give your eyes enough sophisticated smolder to woo them, every time. 

No matter how you wear them, you’re sure to wear them well.

I love the look of the palette's cover -- it's modern, but classic at the same time.

The packaging is beautiful, but just a little difficult to capture in pictures, haha... I hope you can still see how pretty it is from these photos, though. :)

Nine beautiful shades! :)

Nude meets knockout with this pretty palette which offers shades in Trophy, Glow, Latte, Foxy, Sunset, Frosting, Onyx, Almond, and Toffee. 

No matter how you wear them, you’re sure to wear them well.

Features & Benefits

- Deluxe mirrored compact with professional dual brush that features 9 shadows for day and evening looks.

- Illumin8 formula featuring Youthful Synergy Complex® is clinically proven to illuminate, firm, and hydrate the skin.

- Long-wearing, Crease-Free, Can be worn wet and dry

My sisters and I had a lot of fun playing with this palette.

The colors are so so so beautiful, especially when worn. But of course, take into consideration that at first try, they won't really come out too much yet -- it's like there's one layer you have to get through first.
They come out better when the brush is wet/damp and also when you wear primer.

I love how there are matte and shimmery options -- you can definitely create different looks depending on your mood. You can go from dark smokey eyes to a light breezy look.

For makeup junkies who are experts at putting on eye makeup, the colors of this palette may be too basic.

But for people like me who are trying to test the waters when it comes to eye makeup, this is the perfect palette -- basic, but offers enough colors to cover different looks.

I think this would also be perfect for travel -- it's just the right size and again, the colors are versatile.

The palette comes with this brush -- one end is an eye shadow brush, while the other end is more of a pointed brush (comes in handy if you want to try a cat eye look).

Speaking of a cat eye look, here is a video tutorial from Anastasia of Beverly Hills:

Pretty, right?! :)
