she wears it well.

i was blown away with She Wears it Well, a fall eyeshadow palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills that was created to bring the beauty of hollywood's golden age to the modern girl. this mirrored palette consists of nine super versatile, matte and shimmery nudes and neutrals. these high-pigment shadows can be used wet or dry allowing you to create many different looks ranging from a natural daytime look to a dramatic evening look.  
 

i have been using She Wears it Well everyday, and there has been no shortage of combinations. i even tried a look without my eyeliner...which is something i never do.
mini-she says, "are you going for a natural look?!"
i look at her, and we both laugh. "i like it!" she says.

frosting + sunset + glow

i am truly enjoying the colors and love that the shimmery shades continue to firm and hydrate my lids. i have yet to try the shadows wet, which i know will bring on a whole new level of intensity. if you want a palette that can take you from day to night, this is the one to try. it's only available for a couple more weeks, so i think i might stock up.
hurry and get yours, too!

an [oomph] review. see and be seen.

just wanted to give you guys a peek into the see and be seen kit from Anastasia Beverly Hills. it is a four-piece limited edition set for the eyes and face and contains the following:
 - HydraFull gloss in plastic
- HydraFull gloss in heiress
- Illumin8 Eyeshadow Duo in on set
- Tinted Brow Gel in caramel


the kit provides shadows and glosses in colors that create my perfect day look...a natural eye with bright pink lips. however, the shadow pigment is rich enough to create a dramatic look as well. paired with the red gloss, you could create a nice
evening look.

there are also benefits to using these products. clinical studies showed an increase in skin hydration after one hour of wearing Illumin8 shadows. after four weeks of use,
skin appeared firmer and smoother.
after four weeks of using the HydraFull gloss, people saw an improvement in the texture of their lips and reported that their lips were hydrated. click here for more details.
  
the see and be seen kit is only available for a few more weeks and can be yours for only $44. ($80 value)
(buy)

on set duo (champagne shimmer/gold shimmer)
wearing champagne shimmer from liner to brows, gold on the lids.
lightly dusted for subtle color here, but keep layering
for a more dramatic look!
plastic is straight-up pink while heiress leans toward red.
the glosses are thick, but worked well on my dry lips.
 hydrafull gloss in plastic.
the glosses are true to color...what you see is what you get.
as it should be!

an [oomph.] review. anastasia of beverly hills.

a while back i mentioned that i was excited about this brow kit from anastasia of beverly hills. i finally had a chance to try it and was not disappointed. i chose the brunette palette which comes with five stencils, brow pencil, brow wax/base and shadows. the concept is simple - apply brow wax to your brow area, fill in chosen stencil, touch up and highlight.

pros:
  • five stencils allow you to get the best match
  • palette comes with everything you need...no separate base or highlighters to carry around
  • brow wax holds color all day
cons:
  • the only downside to this, and any stencil, is duplicating the results on the second brow.
    it's hard to get the stencil aligned just right, but the handy guidelines help.
i definitely recommend this beauty express brow kit.
