 Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I am going to be reviewing and showing you three different tutorials using the brand new APH Norvina Volume 4 palette. So if you are interested in hearing my thoughts, seeing swatches as well as three very different tutorials, then just keep watching. It feels really nice to be sitting down and doing a full palette dedicated video. I feel like I haven't done a whole review of a palette in a while, so I am very happy to be sitting down and doing this. And it's really funny because I was getting all of these messages from you guys and you were like, you're going to break your lo-bi and buy this, right? Guys, remember, if I'm doing a full dedicated review, it's not breaking the lo-bi. I just want to stop myself from buying things that aren't for my channel just for me personally. So this is for you guys and for me because I'm in love with this palette. So this is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Pro Pigment Palette in a volume 4. She has three others that had come out last year and I purchased all three of those. I'm going to be straight up with you guys. Like I love those. I think those palettes were very, very good. The quality was great. The inspiration that I felt from those palettes was very, very special. So I was actually very excited to see them come out with this one. I know we're all like yawn as far as APH palettes goes, but I really do enjoy the big Norvina palettes. By the way, excuse my nails in this video. I'm just lazy. So let's go over the major details of the sky so that this video doesn't run too long. This palette is $60. You can currently pick it up at this for a website and the APH website as well. And it says it is a limited edition. Now, as far as I'm aware, this should be the only Norvina palette that comes out this year because that's what Norvina said, but I don't know if you can actually follow that or not. And online, it is described as a professional grade artistry palette that features high performance eyeshadows and pigments with a spring-inspired color theory. And definitely just kind of looking at the palette. It is very springy and I think that's why I love this palette. So let's go on into the packaging. It's the same packaging that all of the other Norvina palettes have. Just a simple hard case and I absolutely love this one because it's a very light pink. Everything about this palette is me and you guys know it too. You guys told me I had to get it because you knew I would love this color story and everything about this launch, I think it's by far the prettiest. And then you open it up and then you have this really pretty light lilac, neutral, natural pastel, pinky, pretty color story, perfect for spring. And of course you get a giant mirror with this. I like these palettes. I like how they don't get fancy with the names. It's just a number and a letter and that's the colorness because this does contain 25 shades. So as you can see, the one thing, and I say this all the time, the one thing I don't like about these Norvina palettes is how they are arranged because I feel like the colors are arranged so sporadically so it can be very confusing or very uninspiring if, you know, you don't have the eye for color theory and creating looks like that. So this palette definitely could be rearranged in a way that makes it more consumer-friendly and easier to be able to create a look with. So when I was looking at this, I saw three major color stories. I saw a bright pink color story, a neutral brown color story, and of course a more lavender color story. So that's what I based my three looks off of to hopefully make it more approachable for you guys. And overall, I really do enjoy the color story. It is a perfect spring color story, perfect for this time of year. The only thing that I do have to critique on is the lack of depth in this palette. I even found that when I was creating these looks, I couldn't add too much depth. There are a few shades that add depth and that is going to be this shade right here, but this one was patchy and then also this shade. But this shade didn't show up as deep as I would have liked for it to. So this palette does lack depth, but I feel like that's a very common thing as far as spring-themed palettes goes. They all seem to kind of lack depth. So let's talk about the formulation of this palette. My thoughts on the quality and all that. You have mattes, you have shimmers, you have duochromes, and two new formulas that aren't in the other ones. You have two pressed glitters, which I know some of you guys are going to be disappointed in because there's a large amount of people who don't like pressed glitters personally. I don't mind them. I think they're fine. Especially since this is an artistry palette, I think there is room for glitters in a palette of that kind of nature. Even though I love this color story and it is by far my favorite out of all of the palettes that she's come out with. Unfortunately, the quality I don't think really matches up to the first three and I don't know if that has to do with the nature of the color story, but I just found some of the formulas to fall flat. Let's talk about it. First of all, as far as the pinks go, I think there are way too many hot pinks in here. They all kind of blended into each other to look like the same color. So I don't think it was necessary to add literally about five hot pink shades in here. I would have liked to have seen different depths and tones and shades of purple personally, but you know, I'm a little biased when it comes to purple. So that was annoying. And then I did find I struggled with this matte shade in particular. The others seemed completely fine, but this dark shade right here, I'm assuming it's because it's a harder shade to create. It's a purple that this actually was extremely patchy and you'll see that in the tutorial. And then this shade right here, C3, does not show up on the eyelid at all. So that's a waste of a shade. And it's a shame because I was really excited for this purple blue duo chrome. And then also all of these really shimmered metallic looking shades, they swatched really beautifully on the arm. I was very excited about them, but I found them to be more of a lid topper formula. They are gorgeous. That is what is the shiny and glittery particles on my eyes, but you can't really tell them apart. They don't have a pigmented base, whereas I felt the shimmers in the other palettes. They had that similar glitter finish. They also had a base color to them to differentiate them from one another. All of these kind of blended into each other. So in one look, I use these two shades together and I couldn't tell the light shade from the dark shade. On my eyelid today, I have this shade and this shade. And if the glitters weren't a different color, again, you still even really can't tell that they are different shades. I also feel as if they need to be applied with a glitter glue. I don't think they apply the greatest over a powder especially. They do apply fine with just a finger, but if you do want more of that pigmentation to show, definitely use a glitter glue. And overall I found the shimmers to be a little bit lackluster. It's not as good as what I have previously experienced with this type of palette. With the exception of that one matte shade, all of the other matte shades did work fine. I was very impressed with this lavender shade. And if there weren't five hot pinks in here, all of the hot pinks worked great. They just looked the same. But no, I didn't have any troubles with the mattes except for that one very dark one. And then as far as the pressed glitter shades go, I thought they were fine. I applied them with my finger without any glitter glue. But if you're going to wear pressed glitters for a long amount of time, definitely use a glitter glue. It's going to keep your eye area safe. The shadow is just going to last better over time if you have a glitter glue. Some other facts to keep in mind about this is that this is a pressed pigment palette, which means technically they are not eye safe. That doesn't really bother me, though I will say. I had the hot pink shadows on for maybe 10 to 15 minutes and they stained my eyelids pretty bad. So just be prepared for that and looking like you have pink eye for a little bit. This palette was made in PRC. It is vegan and cruelty free. And it looks like the lifespan is 18 months on this guy. So I think I hit the major points of the color story, the quality and facts that you need to know. So I'm going to get straight into the three tutorials that I created for this look. So I'm going to do two different looks on two different eyes just for the first two so I can play around with as many colors as possible. For the first look, I'm going to go full pink glitter Barbie doll. So that means we're going to start off with E1. I imagine this is a pressed pigment. So I'm going to be careful and this is blending out pretty easily. As you can see, it is extremely, extremely vibrant. Next, we're taking C2. I'm going to put this a little bit closer to the lid, not going quite as high with this shade, but the shade is a bit brighter for sure. If they refer number one brush, I'm going in with E5. And this looks like it's going to be the brightest hot pink shade. So I'm going to put this all over the outer part of my lid. We'll do the outer half. I don't think it was necessary to have all three of these hot pink shades. We are getting a little bit repetitive here. But as you can see, they're working very, very nice. Next, I'm going to be taking C1. Ignore my chipped nail. I'm going to apply this to the leftover lid area. I've been loving the shimmer shades in these palettes. And this one's pretty good. I want to play with the pressed glitter shade E3. We're going to try this without any glitter glue and I'm going to put it in between the shimmery shade and the matte shade. I wouldn't say this color is extremely cohesive with the look because it does have some purple and brown shimmers in there. But it's applying very, very easily. I'm going to use this brush and see if we can kind of disperse the glitter. Taking E5 again, the brightest shade. This is going to go all along my lower left eye. I'm going to take the shimmery shade I used for the inner corner. I'm going to use that as a brow bone highlight and I'm going to also just add a little extra. And I do want to add a little bit more depth. So I'm going to go into the shade E4. I'm just going to use like a tiny, tiny, tiny little bit just right out here for some added depth. Something to note is that I am struggling a little bit with this shade to get it to blend out. As you can see, it is a little bit patchy there and it does not seem to want to blend out. So I'm going to try and pat some more color though that may be the wrong idea. But let's see if it's the shade itself. The shade is definitely a little bit patchy. So just be aware of that. I'm going to kind of try and aid this and I'm going to do it liner and lashes and you'll see the final look. So here's the look with lashes. I know I put on giant lashes so you can't even see the look. But yeah, everything worked out really well except for the one dark purple shade, which might have gotten patchy because it stuck to the glue on the pressed glitter. But overall really love this look. Really fun for summer to do some hot paint shadow for sure. So this is look number one. So the look on this eye, I want to do an all-neutral look because there are actually neutrals in this palette. So we're going to start off with D1, which is this really great transition shade. I truly am so excited that there are actually neutrals in this formula. We're going to deepen up with A4, going to run this along the lower lash line as well. Next, we're going to take B5 right here. And I took a lot and we're going to try and smoke this look out a lot. Now what I am noticing is there really isn't a deeper neutral shade than this and this isn't quite as deep as I thought it was going to be. So as far as playing with all neutrals since there is not a black in this palette, it's not going to get really super dark if you are only just using these shades. So overall, just kind of looking down at the palette, there really isn't too much depth to begin with. And then I really can't wait to play with these two colors. So I'm going to use B4 on the outer half of my lid and then A5 on the inner half. This feels so buttery smooth. So not as creamy pigmented as I would have liked for it to be, honestly. And now let's use A5. Please ignore this horrid nail. Then we're taking B1 as the inner corner color. Okay, really beautiful. So I'm going to do it lighter in lashes and I'll be right back. Okay, so here is the final look for my neutral look. I absolutely love that this palette contains these neutral colors so you can actually do a really wearable look. I love the shimmers on the lid. They aren't as good as I was hoping for them to be for sure, but I enjoy this neutral look a lot and I like having these options in this palette. So we're going to do this really fun look. I actually really like it for the spring. I think it's awesome. I'm going to use this color D2 right here. This is such a random color in the palette. Honestly, I don't really think it fits in. I'm doing it to just show you a way that you can use it because there are ways that you can incorporate this color into the look, but honestly, I wish they would have put a different color in here, something like another shimmery color. But as you can see, it's a little bit sheer. If you want it to be more vibrant, put it on top of a white base. This color was the color I was most excited for in the palette C4. And this shade is going to go all over the crease as our transition shade. And I'm very impressed with this lavender. It's not as smooth as maybe another color would be, but for a lavender, I think it does a very nice job. It does require you to dip back into your palette a few times, but it's nice. I'm also going to put that color on my lower lash line. The next color I'm taking is A3. The shade is a lot brighter than I thought it was going to be, so I ended up using this as a lid color. I was going to use this as a crease color, but then when I saw how much brighter it was, I decided to use it on the outer half of my lid as a base color for the lid toppers. Yeah, and this pulls a lot more pink than I thought it would. Honestly, if you like filled this all the way in, this would be a cool look as well. I'm going to put that on my lower lash line as well to blend in with that periwinkle color. We're going to start off with C3. This shade I'm putting right in the outer corner. As you can see, this color doesn't really show up on the lid. I don't think it layers over shadow as well, so I did want to show you that this shade was kind of a fail. I think it would do better on a bare lid rather than on top of powder, but still not a good sign. I'm going to take A1, put that kind of over the yellow in the inner corner, and then I'm going to take this and blend this out into the purple pink. We're starting off with A1, which is one of my favorite shades in this palette. It is basically a lid topper, so I'm putting that over top the yellow, and then now I'm taking the purpley glitter shade, which is A2. I'm going to use that to blend it into the shade that we just put down. I'm so sorry for my nails, you guys. This is embarrassing. I wanted to add a fun pop, so I'm taking E2 right here. Then E2, I'm going to put along the inner half of my lower lash line. All right, so I'm going to do a liner and lashes, and I will be right back. And here is the final look with the lashes. I actually really ended up loving this look way more than I thought I would. So to bring you back with my collective thoughts, overall, I am a little bit disappointed with this palette, and the reason why I'm so, so happy to have it is honestly just because I am absolutely in love with this color story. It's lilacs, lavenders, and neutral shades. Honestly, I couldn't be any happier with the color story. However, I know that ABH can just do better. I like their other Norvina palettes better. I didn't find that I struggled with those palettes. I wouldn't necessarily say that I struggled with this palette, but there were a lot of things that I felt could have been improved about this palette. So I don't know if she changed the formula or what happened here, but quality-wise, it's not my favorite. It is still a good quality palette. I don't want you to say, oh, this palette is crap. It's not. It's a good quality palette, but they've done better. It's the point that I'm trying to get at, and I just think there are some shades that are too close to each other that could have been replaced with other colors to make this palette even more versatile. As always with these palettes, I wish she would rearrange where she put the colors. I don't know the thought process behind it, but I don't like it. I do feel like this is a very negative review only because the quality isn't there, and that's what the important thing is. But I must admit, I like the color story in here so much that I am willing to put just a little bit of extra work in to make these colors work. And the key for this particular palette, it's going to be glitter blue. That's going to be... You're saving a grace with this palette. So if you do like this color story, it's a pretty easy fix to make this work, so just keep that in mind. However, if you don't want to pay $60 for a palette that you have to make work, this might be something you want to reconsider getting, but that's just my own personal opinion. So anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I hope you found it helpful. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already, I hope you guys take the time to do so, and I will see you guys in the next one. Bye, guys. Have a good one.
