Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminator Peach Nectar and Riviera

Better than never! These two have been in my stash for months and I never have a chance to do review in detail. So, let me share few photos to satisfy your love for beautiful make up!

Anastasia launched four gorgeous shades of single illuminator. All of them are stunning, but I only bought two shades since Starlight is too white for me (now not available anymore in ABH website) and eventhough So Hollywood is so beautiful in all skintone (at least in all pictures my friends have posted), I have few similar shades in my collection. I guess I should be satisfied with only two.

I picked Peach Nectar (apricot gold) and Riviera (rose gold) that are more unique than the other two. The packaging is a hard plastic in black color which is travel friendly and sleek. There is mirror inside but no applicator provided.

I love the embossing. Simple but beautiful! It is not too soft so the embossing is not easily wiped off. There is no strong smell from the product. 

The powder looks hard but it gives subtle glow and creates natural sheen on the skin. The particle is so soft, blends easily and not too shimmery. It is quite pigmented so better use light hand while applying the product.

Talking about the quality, they are indeed very good. In my opinion, Riviera is in my top three favorite highlighter among all highlighters that I have. They last for 6.5 - 7 hours on me.

I really love ABH Illuminators. Have you tried them? 

Thank you for reading.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

People love Anastasia. From the infamous brow product to the liquid lipsticks.. Who don't.. One of the bomb is this Contour Kit. Last year Contouring Game is a hot topic everywhere and now been upgraded to the cream contouring style which is even more intense. While I love sitting here watching MUA and bloggers' videos showing their high contouring skill and completely amazed, I don't find that a strong contouring is my style. I never want to apply that much layer on my face. 

The simplest way to say it is I never succeed to contour my chubby face, so please bear with me if my swatch does not satisfy you. Another thing, this post won't show a brand new product. It is my old collection and I want to make myself fall in love again with this stuff. 

There are 6 shades in this palette which consists of 3 highlighting and 3 contouring powder. It supposed to sculpt, define and enhance our natural feature. There are 3 choices of palette, mine is a light/medium palette for light to medium skin.

There is no fall out when applied. The color payoff is more intense than Nars Paloma (reviewed here) and create more gradient on my face. It is quite blendable and easy to use but don't forget to slowly build it up than to go for a bold at once.

I love using the Middle Highligher for my undereye and the Left or Right for Highlighting. Go for the Right if you want a stronger one. 

I'm using the Left and Middle Contour for sculpting and the Right one for bronzing. This is quite long lasting, with primer and setting spray it last for 8 hours.

If you notice in these pictures, my eye make up is different between left and right eyes. I usually do review of some products altogether. The eyeshadows are Gucci Eye Shadow Mono (reviewed here). You don't think I'm going out with that crazy looks on my face, do you?

Here's the final looks.. Thank you for reading guys.
