Anastasia Beverly Hills: Modern Rennaisance Palette & Liquid Lipstick

We all know Anastasia Beverly Hills (abbrev. - ABH) is famous for their brow products.. especially their dipbrow pomade. However, since I've gotten my eyebrows embroided on, I'm not so big on brow products/ I'm really bad at drawing eyebrows. I don't know all of y'all do it, I completely salute you all i.e Girls who have to draw on their eyebrows every single day. If I didn't do eyebrow embroidery, my eyebrows would be a proper wreck. Can't even draw a straight line, imagine me trying to draw on two perfect brows. 

Anyway, ABH came out with their Modern Renaissance Palette recently and it was really love at first sight. I've been crazy about all the warmer colours for the eyelids recently.. oranges and red.. so when I saw this palette, I knew I had to have it. 




Apart from the amazing selection of colours (my favourites are Burnt Orange, Red Orche and Realgar.), the shadows are super pigmented and so very buttery. A little goes a long way with these and they blend effortlessly. I've yet to try the longevity of these, so I'll be testing them out next week but from what I've read online, they're meant to be long-lasting as well. Which is great for me cause I've got my make-up on for an average 12-14 hours a day usually. 

Of course I had to get some of the ABH liquid lipsticks that I have been seeing all over Instagram. I limited myself to just 3 colours and here are the chosen ones: 



(L-R) Ashton, Carina, Stripped
Verdict on these Liquid Lipsticks? 

Long wearing, comfortable and NOT drying. I wore Carina for dinner yesterday and it lasted throughout the entire meal and even when I did a touch up afterwards it was easy and smooth (unlike some other liquid lipsticks I've tried). There's no specific scent to them and they're completely waterproof. They are also quite opaque so one swipe of the liquid lipstick was enough.

I bought them off ABH's website it self with the Modern Renaissance Palette costing me USD42 and the Liquid Lipsticks at USD20 each. Delivery was only 5 days with DHL and I'm very happy with the whole process.  Actually, I'm just really happy about the entire purchase. #NORAGRETS

Lots of love,
