 Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I am going to be talking about my experiences with the new Anastasia Beverly Hills and Jackie Aina palette. So if you are interested in hearing my thoughts, seeing this tutorial as well as a neutral look, then just keep watching. Okay, so I feel like in this review, I'm not going to get into the details so much about the colors individually and what they are and things like that just because that's already been presented to you and so many other videos. I also feel that Jackie Aina, since it's her palette, I am going to refer you to her video if you haven't seen it because that is how you're going to get to the best insight of the creation of this palette. And as always, I just want to say that my channel is not about politics in the makeup world at all. It's about makeup and the makeup palette. So I'm just gonna talk strictly about the palette. So let's get into it. Details about this palette. It is available right now on the Anastasia Beverly Hills website. It will be available online and in stores at Sephora August 15th as well as other places as well. This palette is going to be sold globally wherever you can find ABH. This palette is $45 along with the other 14-pan palettes from Anastasia. It is a limited edition and like I said, it is a collaboration with YouTuber Jackie Aina. I really like Jackie Aina. I think I have learned a lot from her about doing makeup on deeper skin tones. So I wanted to support her with this launch and not to mention the palette is gorgeous. So let's get into it. So the packaging is the same shape as all of the other ABH palettes. It has beautiful iridescence padding on it with Jackie Aina and it's a little bit more soft. So I feel like if this were to hit the ground, it does have a little bit of extra cushion there. And then you open it up. It has the mirror. It comes with a brush and then you have 14 beautiful shades. In this palette, you are getting six mattes and eight shadows that are some form of shimmer, foil, glitter, things along that nature. So online, this is described as a collaboration of ABH and Jackie Aina. This limited edition palette features Jackie's must-have colors for gorgeous looks. For this collaboration, I know Jackie just wanted to do a color scheme. That was her. So this is supposed to be a full pigment formula that is easy to blend and delivers high payoff and buildable intensity in both matte and metallic finishes. You're supposed to be able to create so many different looks like bright eyes, neutral looks, shimmering, glam looks, bold looks, smoky eyes. I, by the way, completely agree with that. Also, she wanted to create a palette that was geared more towards deeper skin tones, which I think is absolutely wonderful. It actually made it even more exciting for me to pick this palette up because it could potentially be something that I do end up using in my kit. But I am telling you right now, this does work on a range of many different skin tones. I, as you can see, I am not deep in the slightest and I really love how these colors worked on me. So let's start moving on to the formulas and how they work. So there are three pressed pigments in this palette. Now, if you watch my channel and you know I absolutely hate pressed pigments, I feel like they are made to be an excuse for non-blendable eyeshadows. But I have to say, these pressed pigments are quite impressive. They are Supreme, Pinker, and Big Wig. These are the only pressed pigments in this palette and honestly, I think they worked wonderful. They did blend. I did struggle a touch with Big Wig, but I still made it work. It's a purple and I think that's just the nature of purples. All of these three pressed pigments I think are wonderful. The other three masks right here, same regular ABH formula. Good amount of fallout if you're not careful, if you don't tap off your brush. But great pigmentation, great creaminess, and great blendability. They definitely do run deeper. I found myself kind of wishing there was lighter shades, but I know that's not the nature of this palette. Not going to complain about it. I think the color selection for the masks is beautiful. You have some neutral colors, some warm colors, and of course these brighter colors to really play up the looks. So let's talk about the more foiled formula. So Soleil is absolutely stunning. I love it. It's a great creamy formula. Now, I did wear Lituation today and I did kind of struggle with this on a brush. I feel like you kind of need to put some glitter glue down, or you're really going to have to pack it on, use it with your finger. But what I really like about this color is that you can wear it alone. I actually use this as a taupey color just all over my lid. Blend it out with a blending brush, no other colors. I think it would have looked a little bit better had I put a transition color in. But you do have the option to do a one color smokey eye. This one is not as metallic as the other shades in the palette, but it is so pretty. I think this is a great addition, and this is going to look so good on medium to deep skin tones as a neutral everyday color. Xam is a very unique formula in this palette. It's kind of, it's not a pressed glitter, but it does have some chunks of glitter in it. So I do find that the best way to use this is probably to put it on top of a glitter glue. I did use this in my look yesterday, which I teased in yesterday's video, which I love the color, I loved how it looked, but there was a lot of fallout. I was a little bit of a mess, and I just felt like using some glitter glue would add a little bit of extra security and would really make the eyeshadow shine. So I definitely recommend using a glitter glue with that particular shade. The shimmer shades are a very creamy formula. They feel wet and creamy when you pick them up. Wiggly's is absolutely stunning. This applies great with a brush and just with your finger. Of course, you're going to get the best results with a finger, but this is such a gorgeous color on Jackie, so I know a lot of you are going to like it. Shookington is a little bit of a struggle. I used it with a brush today and it applied beautifully, but it's just a color you're going to have to kind of work into the skin, because if you just apply it, it's going to kind of rest on top of the skin. But if you kind of melt it in, use the warmth of your skin or use some pressure from the brush, it works just fine. I think it's a beautiful color. I'm very excited that she kind of has the matte version of it in here, Bigwig and Shookington. These two are going to create a gorgeous purple smokey eye, but I do really like this color. Just be aware that you're going to have to work it into the skin. Trust issues is a little bit chunkier than I would prefer, so just be careful with application. It's kind of a clear shade that doesn't have too much of a base to it. For this type of shade, I would use it more so as a lid topper, or potentially with some glitter glue underneath. I think that's the way to get best results with it, because it can come off a little bit chunky, and if you apply it straight with a brush, it can get a little bit messy and just look not as nice as it has the potential to look. With Dwarlas right here, I cannot get this to apply with a brush very well. It just applies very scattered and just doesn't look that good on the lid, but if you use your finger, that is how you're going to get the best application. So the shade is gorgeous. It's like a green-gold color, but it definitely needs worked into the skin and applied with a finger to get it to work, but it is stunning. That's like what is the inner part of my eyelid right now. I'm obsessed with it. And then the last shade to talk about is Sponsored. This is kind of that brown with a blue shift kind of color that a lot of different eyeshadows have, Think Club by MAC, always such a fun color. So this is like Hope with a teal twist. Now I have it on the center of my lid. You can't really see it as much because I wanted it to be more of a fade, but it is absolutely stunning. I think the formula of it is really beautiful. Again, apply it with your finger. But oh my gosh, I can't wait to put this shade all over my lid with a brown in the crease. So I think that is just a really fun element that was added to the palette and on chocolate skin. It's going to be stunning. So if you can't tell, I'm loving all of these shadows. Some you just have to be aware of how to apply them and the best way to apply them. But that is pretty typical for ABH. Sometimes they just require a little bit of extra thought. So if you are OK with that, the quality of this is awesome. And I think when you apply them right and how they need to be applied, you are going to really like this palette. So let me go over the color scheme of this palette. I think Jackie Aina did a fabulous job. I love the layout of it. I love the thought behind this. And I feel like you really can create so many different looks with this palette. And it just looks very easy. You guys know, I like to point out and give you a little bit of inspiration. So if you want more of a warm, wearable eye, I would stick more onto this side. You can use these warm colors with this green gold shade. That's going to be stunning. Or if you want a really simple look, use ginger and sole. Just together, that's going to create a really pretty everyday look. You can create a pink look right here and maybe put Soleil on the lid or Wiggly's. And then trust issues with just one matte transition color, whatever that may be, is going to create a really pretty everyday glittery look. Obviously, these two were made for each other. And I just feel like it's set up in a way that makes sense. And the looks that you can create are really endless. I feel so inspired from this palette. I think this is wonderful. The only color that I would take out in my opinion, because I don't really care too much for the formulation, is trust issues. But you know what? I still really like it. So I don't want to complain that much. I think this is a wonderful palette and Jackie did a fabulous job. So I did create a look in yesterday's video and it was just a quick little thron, but you guys asked how I did it. So I did film it for you. I thought this would be a good look to incorporate because it was super easy and it's super neutral. And you know, for my neutral lovers, I feel like this is a great way to show you that this palette can be wearable. So what I did was I started with ginger as my transition shade. And I just applied that all over my crease. Now, all my light skin is a touch dark. But what I was really impressed by was how well it blended in my crease and just out and it really faded from blending. That really did match my complexion and then took credit, which is a matte chocolate brown, which is an essential color in any palette, in my opinion. And I just use that in the outer corner again, blended. Absolutely beautiful. Added some great depth to the look. And then I finished off with Xam all over my lid. Now, I just used my finger to apply it and I got a ton of fallout. It was really pretty once it was on, but I wanted to use that glitter glue like I mentioned earlier. And I felt like that would have made all the difference, but really gorgeous, simple, everyday brown look. You guys seem to love that. So I did want to mention how I did that. Now, let's get into the fun look I've created for today's video. I wanted to try out a lot more colors and just create a really fun look. I started off with the shade Supreme and I applied that on the inner half of my crease. What I really like about this color is it is the perfect crease color for basically any colorful look if you're staying within the color scheme of the palette. Blended out beautiful. It's not too crazy colored and it was very complimentary to the look. The next shade I went into was Pinker. I used that as my transition shade to create the fade that I have up here. So I just put it right in the middle of the crease. This shade I felt like wasn't the most flattering to my texture on my eyes, but I mean, that's just me looking very far deep into it. And then I took the shade Big Wag and I would say I did struggle a little bit with this, but struggle is a strong word. It just didn't apply as easily as other shadows, but I applied that to the outer corner and winged it out. Really did not go light with that color. Just really belt it up and applied it to the outer corner, blended it out, and then the outer corner of my lid. Really liked that color though. Just be aware that it wasn't as seamless on the lid as I would want it to be, but it's a purple shade, so that's pretty hard to find anyways. I then just created a quick, simple cut crease and then I went in with the shade Dualos right here and I applied that to the inner third of my eyelid. I started off with a brush, wasn't that successful. Then I went in with my finger and then I took a brush to kind of get closer to the edges, but this shade is stunning. It's the most beautiful green gold. Green golds are very in right now and this one is just stunning. Then I took the shade Sponsored because I did want to implement it into a look because it is a unique color and I just used my finger and padded that into the center of my lid. It complements the green gold shade very well and I felt like it was a good transition into the purple. Then I took Shookington right here and I worked that into the outer third of my eyelid right on top of the matte purple. Like I said, it needed to be worked in, but it is really pretty and I just want to create bright purple smokey eye with that all over the lid. It's going to be beautiful. You don't come across shimmery purples with that tone very often. For my inner corner, I used Soleil and then I topped it with a bit of trust issues to add a little bit of extra glitter, but Soleil is such a smooth bright metallic color, a beautiful inner corner color, a beautiful light color as well. Like I said, trust issues isn't my favorite, but it really did add that extra pop to the inner corner. I basically kind of did the same thing with the matte colors on my lower lash line and then applied a little bit of Shookington right in the center of my lower lash line and then I used a purple eyeliner in my waterline, so that's what's making my look extra purple and that is how I got this look. So overall thoughts on this palette is I think it is a beautiful release. If you support Jackie, I don't think that you would be disappointed with this palette at all. I know it is a very popular palette, so most of you guys are probably picking it up already, but if you're on the fence, I think it's wonderful. If you like neutral looks, you can get neutral looks with it. There are some colors that are going to get you out of your comfort zone, but it's not too crazy. Like this palette can be colorful, but they're more like muted colors. Nothing is extremely bright or neon. It's a great way to transition into using more brighter colors, or this is a great evening palette to go out with at night because this can create some really stunning smoky eyes or just some more unique eyes that I feel like you would be more comfortable with at night. So I love this palette. I think it is beautiful. It is inspiring, and the quality is fantastic. And not to mention, I really do think this is a perfect palette for deeper skin tones, which is what Jackie Aina wanted and she succeeded. So that is all I have to say about today's video. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already, I hope you take the time to do so, and I will see you guys in my next video. Bye, guys. Have a good one.
