The ABH Nouveau Palette is one of the most recent releases from Anastasia Beverly Hills. It is supposed to be somewhat green themed, containing 3 green-hued shades and one green-blue shade along with complimentary colors to go along with them.
Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stains come in four bright but translucent shades and give the lips a lightly glossy finish. They look and feel sort of like lip glosses at first but with a thinner texture.
Maybelline Shadow Blocks are a newer eyeshadow release that are available in 5 shade variations and retail for about $10 each. They come in stacks of 3 shades – two are mattes and there is one complementary shimmer.
Benefit has come out with new shades of their iconic boxed blushes and redesigned the packaging. There are 12 full size shades retailing for $29 each and 7 of them come in mini sizes for $17 each. I have all but one (Starlaa) swatched here for you.
I finally used up all of my exfoliators and it was time to either repurchase one of them or find a new one. On one of my recent trips to Trader Joe’s, I noticed the Nourish Microdermabrasion Scrub in their beauty/personal care section.
The Natasha Denona Pastel Palette contains 15 shades of (mostly) pastel eyeshadows in various formulas and finishes. 8 of them are matte (with half being creamy powders and the other half being true powders) and 7 of them are shimmers. Some shimmers are nothing but fine particles and some have larger sparkles mixed in. This is one of their midi-sized palettes which has smaller pan sizes and retails for $65.
I saw the Physicians Formula Diamond Metallic Liquid Eyeshadows on a display a while back and initially skipped over them because liquid eyeshadows are a pain to use. But there are only 4 shades and they are supposed to be somewhat multichrome so I decided to give them a try.
The NYX Lift & Snatch Brow Tint Pen is a brush-tip brow product that comes in 10 shades and retails for $12. The product inside is a semi-sheer liquid, similar to an eyeliner but not as pigmented and the brush tip is very fine and offers a high level of control.
Finally getting around to posting swatches of the Natasha Denona Pastel Palette. Out of the 15 shades, 8 of them are matte (with half being creams and the other half being powders) and 7 of them are shimmers. Some shimmers are nothing but fine particles and a some have larger sparkles mixed in.
