Anastasia of Beverly Hills: ILLUMIN8 EYE SHADOW DUO

Happy Wednesday!

Besides bright colors, I am also loving a "healthy, bronzy glow" -- nothing screams summer more than that, right?! ;)



Look we love: Sun-swept
We love a healthy bronzy glow, we love Shisheido makeup artist Dick Page, and we super-loved Michael Kors' spring show. Page swept bronzer along brow bones and cheeks, then dusted eyes and lips with soft beige. 
The result: gorgeous, fresh-from-vacation, sand-swirled tawniness.

Luckily, I have an eye shadow duo that helps me achieve a sun-kissed, bronzy eye look! ;)
Thanks again to Anastasia of Beverly Hills for sending me their See And Be Seen Kit:

On Set: champagne shimmer and gold shimmer

I am not much of an eye makeup person, but I do try to come up with some simple looks from time to time.
This eye shadow duo is perfect -- the shades are both beautiful and basic, it's kind of hard to go wrong with them. ;)

They blend easily and are highly-pigmented.
Both shades have just the right amount of shimmer.
They are long-lasting and I think the colors really complement each other.

I love the natural look this eye shadow duo gives.

I am quite happy and content with this, and hopefully I can finally move on and use my other eye shadow palettes (the ones with bolder colors, haha!). ;)

The ILLUMIN8 EYE SHADOW DUO also comes in other colors besides On Set.

   
On Set (champagne shimmer/ gold shimmer), At Chateau (tan shimmer/ bronze shimmer), My Bedford (pale pink shimmer/ violet sheen), Power Lunch (pink shimmer/ lavender mauve shimmer)

Price: $23
At $23, this is definitely pricier than the eye shadow palettes I normally buy... but, Anastasia of Beverly Hills truly has some of the most excellent and high-quality products I have ever tried.

I hope they release more color combinations, though... I'd love to see this eye shadow duo in other shades. :)

The ILLUMIN8 EYE SHADOW DUO is available at all Sephora stores or online at www.anastasia.net and www.sephora.com.
