Makeup Monday | Anastasia Bold & Beautiful Kit

So I couldn't help myself when I was ordering my Anastasia Contour Kit, I just had to try one of her palettes as well. The Bold & Beautiful Kit was on sale for $14 which is why I picked it up...lol THAT and because it came with a bunch of stuff, so let's dive in and I will let you know about it what I thought about it!

If you can't tell, the packaging is pretty gorgeous and she's set it up to look like an Art Deco Book. Which of course appeals to me in all sorts of ways!

The Kit is set up into two smaller palettes, Vol.1 Beautiful Brows and Vol.2 Beautiful Eyes.

Vol.1 Beautiful Brows comes with what you see above, a pigmented darker brown eyebrow wax, a more taupe-cool tone brown brow powder, a mini of the famed Anastasia tweezers and then a mini double-ended brushed with one side a slanted thin brush for the powders/wax and the other side a spoolie so you can brush everything out.

I'm not going to lie, this is by far my favorite part of this kit. You can definitely tell this is why Anastasia of Beverly Hills is famous. The brow wax is beautifully pigmented and compliments the powder for the perfect brow and you can take it to fully sculpted or tone it down to a more natural feel. The tweezers have the perfect malleability so you can grab tiny hairs. The brush is super thin and works wonderfully in the products. I know for travel I will be grabbing this little palette and taking it with me.

Vol. 2 Beautiful Eyes on the other hand is just meh for me. I understand that they were going for a neutral palette that you could take smoky if you wanted to. The palette comes with 4 eye shadows all satin to shimmer shades and ranging from a bone color to a pink, taupe, and then a darker warm brown. As you can see in the picture of the palette itself, the brown holds a lot of glitter. The eye shadows are very powdery and from the swatches above, most of the light shades aren't very pigmented. In fact, it was hard to get good swatches.

It also came with a double-ended brush which was terrible so just put that to the side lol.


Overall, I would say the palette was okay for $14, which is what I paid for it on the Anastasia website, but I have seen it up to $36 on others, so definitely don't spend THAT much money on it. I'm disappointed because I've heard other palette's from Anastasia the eyeshadows people rave about. I am happy about the brow wax and that part of the palette, so for me it was worth the $14 and I understand what they were trying to do, by making this a palette you could travel with. But, had I known, I would have gone for the Lavish or Catwalk palettes instead.

So close to the mark, but not worth it to suggest to you guys!

I hope you are having a wonderful President's Day!!! Any new makeup you guys are loving that I should try??
