Anastasia Beverly Hills: Artist Palette

The new Anastasia Beverly Hills Artist Palette was just released last week. I got mine last night. I could not wait to get my hands on this after reading all rave reviews on Instagram. It retails for $30 and has 12 different colors ranging from navy blue (blue velvet) to a bright mustard yellow (phresh).

 

After getting is home and taking a good look at it one thing came to mind... 6 out of the 12 colors are very close to those in the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette. Which only really stood out because I use Vice 3 on the regular.

Ok pros: 12 is a decent amount of colors. Within that selection there is a big range of shades which allow you to come up with some creative looks with out dipping into another palette. There is an even mix of shimmer and matte. The colors are highly pigmented yet easily bendable.


Cons. First thing that stood out to me was the case it comes in looks cheap. Does that affect the shadows... of course not I just prefer a pretty plastic case that snaps close. As I mentioned before half of the colors are very similar to those in Vice 3 by Urban Decay.  Normally when I buy a new palette I know what I want to do with it before I even get it home. I remember when UPS brought my Kat Von D Chrysalis insanely late but I still needed to try it that night... I didn't feel that way about this one. Instead of the possibilities feeling endless it took me awhile to figure out what I would do with it.


Here is what I came up with...
The colors written in purple are UD the colors written in white are ABH
