Anastasia Beverly Hills has recently launched three new products.\u00a0 These include the Maya Mia Palette, Waterproof Cr\u00e8me Color in Jet, and #3 Brush which can all be purchased on www.anastasiabeverlyhills.com.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First off, I want to talk about the Maya Mia Palette.\u00a0 It was designed in collaboration with @maya_mia_y on Instagram.\u00a0 I’ve been playing around with this palette for the past few weeks and I must say it’s easily become one of my go-to eyeshadow palettes.\u00a0 I enjoy the fact that it contains mostly neutral shadows but also incorporates a few pops of color.\u00a0 As far as pigmentation goes, these shadows are great quality.\u00a0 I’m also a big fan of the packaging.\u00a0 I like how it’s made of cardboard, has a magnetic closure, and is relatively thin and compact.\u00a0 Not to mention the design is too cute! The palette is cruelty free, retails for $29,\u00a0and is reasonably priced in my opinion, considering it includes 10 eyeshadows, a double ended eyeshadow brush, and “Get the Look” cards that show you how to achieve five different\u00a0eyeshadow looks. Below, I’ve included swatches of each shadow.<\/p>\n

The swatches above are of the first row of shadows in the palette.\u00a0 Vanilla has a satin finish,\u00a0Warm Taupe, Sienna, Deep Brown, and Nude–which blends in with my skin tone– are all matte.\u00a0 One thing I’d like to mention is that this palette, like the Lavish Palette also by Anastasia Beverly Hills, includes Sienna.\u00a0 However, that doesn’t bother me\u00a0seeing as\u00a0Sienna is one of my favorite transition shades.\u00a0 The only shadow in the palette that I’m not head over heals about is Nude just because it doesn’t really show up on my skin.\u00a0 Having said that, it does work as a base shadow.\u00a0 Also, I’d like to make note that all of the photos in this post are unedited.<\/p>\n

\"(No<\/a>

The bottom row of shadows only contains one matte shadow, that being Caramel.\u00a0 Aqua, Fresh Peach and Gold Bar have satin finishes and Glisten is shimmery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The accompanying brush is double sided\u00a0and is well-made.\u00a0 The bristles are soft and the flat shader brush side is good for packing on shadows, while the pointed pencil brush side is nice for applying shadow along the lower lash line or deepening your crease.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up is the Waterproof Cr\u00e8me Color in Jet.\u00a0 It retails for $18 and\u00a0comes in a glass pot just like the ABH Dipbrow Pomade.\u00a0 I really like the texture of this product and the fact that it’s matte.\u00a0 I’m not really into the whole glossy\/shiny\u00a0eyeliner look so this is right up my alley.\u00a0 This can be used as a liner or a cream shadow.\u00a0 It would make the perfect base for a dark, dramatic black smokey eye because it doesn’t crease or smudge.\u00a0 As for the waterproof claim, they aren’t kidding!\u00a0 I applied the product to my wrist, let it set, then rubbed vigorously and it didn’t even\u00a0budge.\u00a0 Oh, and I didn’t even mention the intensity of the product.\u00a0 This stuff is black! Not an off-black or grayish black, but a true inky black color. Below is a swatch of the Waterproof Cr\u00e8me Color.<\/p>\n

Lastly,\u00a0we have the #3 Brush.\u00a0 It retails for $18.\u00a0 It’s flat and tapers to a point which makes it ideal for lining the eyes.\u00a0 You can flip the brush on its side and create a super thin line or use the other side and create a much thicker line.\u00a0 I also find that this brush is helpful in creating winged liner looks. Below, I’ve drawn some lines using the #3 Brush and Waterproof Cr\u00e8me Color.<\/p>\n
