Beauty Product Reviews

Purchase On Sale Only

I have tried many pigmented shadows, both bright colors and pastels, that perform better on medium to dark skin tones. The Sugarpill Capsule collection is "OK" and worth the buy if you can purchase at sale price. I find both the mattes and the metallics to be really powdery in texture. Fall out is guaranteed so I recommend slowly packing on color for maximum color payoff. When blending colors, reapplication will be required. These colors do not swatch the best, but do perform well on the eyes. I highly recommend using a sticky/tacky eyeshadow base to grab on to the shadows. Overall, I like the color selection a lot. They are beautiful and unique, but take a bit of effort to get to work.

Great For Color Lovers!

I own the majority of ABH permanent line of eyeshadow palettes and I must say that this one is my favorite. If you're a big fan of bold and colorful makeup as well as the soft textured ABH eyeshadow formula, you will enjoy this palette. Colors are pigmented, and blend well together without too much fallout. The packaging is also nice and unique from that of their other palettes.

Must-Have for EveryDay Looks

I absolutely love this eyeshadow palette. Not only is the packaging nice, compact and relatively sturdy for travel, the eyeshadows perform beautifully. Both shimmer and mattes are pigmented and blend beautifully together (and with other eyeshadow brands). If I had to recommend one ABH eyeshadow palette it would be this one. These colors are very versatile and suitable for a wide range of skin tones. You can be subtle or bold with the glam looks created with this one.

Amazing Performance for Oily Skin

I have been using NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skintone for several years. If you're used to thick and creamy eyeshadow bases, this will be a huge difference for you. The ABh eyeshadow primer is a thin and liquid consistancy. Only a VERY small amount is needed to cover the entire eye lid. I recommend blending and spreading the product out with a fluffy brush for even coverage. This formula dries down within seconds and leaves a soft powdery feel to the eyelids. It *will* feel dry, but it DOES hold your eyeshadows on and allows them to be even more pigmented. My biggest issue is combating oil in the t-zone and on the eyelids by the end of the day. This product actually WORKS and has kept my eyeshadows looking bright, bold and in place all day with no creasing or moving around. I am really impressed with this and so happy I got it. I purchased the smallest 7ml size and for the tiny amount you need, this will last me a long time. $13 sounds like a great value now after purchasing and trying this product. PS- Cut crease looks are so much easier to do with this as well!

Complete Looks With 1 Palette!

I turned out to enjoy this palette much more than I thought! After seeing it and swatching in-store, I knew I had to have it. These shades are unique to my collection and the assortment allows for lots of different looks I wouldn't have put together myself. The best part about this palette, despite each shade being effortlessly pigmented and bendable, is the fact that you can do several COMPLETE looks with it, without having to reach for other palettes and colors. Highlight, crease and deepening colors as well as all over lid colors. It's the complete package and I love it!

Beautiful Color & Pigmentation

I was disappointed in the swatches of this palette, however do not judge it on the swatches alone! These shadows perform wonderfully on the eyes (especially paired with the ABH eyeshadow base). Colors are pigmented and bold just as you see in-pan. I did have a few shades that got patchy and wouldn't 'stick" to the base in certain spots, but for the most part even those were buildable, you just have to take your time with them and not blend away too much at once. I really am loving this cool toned palette with pops of warm color. Do I love it as much as Vol. 1 in terms of quality? No, but this is in it's rightful place as #2 !

Didn't Meet My Expectations

I've heard such rave reviews about Sugarpill eyeshadow, and here was my chance to try an assortment of colors without spending over $100. I suppose you get what you pay for, as the quality doesn't seem to be the same as regular SP singles. I found the shadows to be quite dry and hard pressed. I had to dip back into each shade many times to build up the pigmentation that is seen in the palette. With that being said, it *does* build up well and blends beautifully. I just had to work way too hard for color pay off. The packaging is adorable and a great travel size; but I wasn't impressed.

Love It!

If you're a fan of sunset makeup looks, you definitely would enjoy the Mini Breaker palette by JSC. I love the size, variety of shades and finishes and the quality is great. I honestly love this palette more than the larger Jawbreaker one! I can get a variety of looks and there is a good matte to metallic shadow ratio. Love it!

Beautiful Assortment of Unique Shades

I've been a fan of JSC eyeshadow for awhile now, so the release of their largest palette yet, was a no brainer on purchasing. I was happy that even the pastel color ranges in this palette showed up true to color on my medium-dark skin tone and did not fade throughout the day. Colors are bold and bright and blend well together. My only disappointment is the lack of shimmer shades (mostly matte) and I wouldn't see this as an all-in-one palette to create every day looks. Its definitely a palette full of unique bold colors that will pair well with other palettes.

Wonderful Eyeshadow Formula!

This is my first time trying any products by Anastasia Beverly Hills and I must say that I am quite impressed! The Norvina Pro Pigment Palette is beautiful, from the packaging to the eyeshadows. The formula of these e/s are so silky and buttery, for both matte and metallic/shimmer shades. Pigmentation is true to color as you see in pan, with only one swatch. That is saying a lot, as some shadows do not perform well on medium to darker skin tones; these did beautifully! Blending with these shadows is amazing and easily accomplished with little to no effort. I use NYX eyeshadow base with all of my looks and I did not get any weird patchiness or lifting of color when blending the mattes. There is plenty kick-up in the pan for all shadow finishes, but relatively little to no fall out on the eyes during application. I'm definitely a new fan of ABH now!
