Happy February!!!

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to blog more often, at least once a week. I got to the second week in January. Womp womp. I've taken on a lot this year so I'm always busy and when I'm not busy, I'm catching up on sleep. Not an excuse though, I am still trying! So I wanted to share with you high quality photos of what I got for Valentine's Day: The "Super Limited Edition" Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Book (shoutout to the best boyfriend ever)! I took a ton of photos so you can see these shades in different lighting. You can also click on these photos to see them in high quality.

I wanted this as soon as I had found out that Anastasia sent them out to (Instagram and Youtube) famous makeup artists some time last year. Not gonna lie, I was wildly jealous and outraged that ABH didn't want to share this rare Bible of Bronzer with some of us not so famous (but still hardworking, die hard makeup loving) makeup artists. When I got that email from Anastasia saying they're selling it for a limited time, I jumped on the chance as soon as I could. What a coincidence that V-Day was right around the corner. Forget the roses, chocolates and 50 Shades of Grey. I WANT 50 SHADES OF CONTOURING AND HIGHLIGHTING. Just kidding, 29 shades are more than plenty.

That's right! 29 shades total in 29 refillable pans that you can buy individually on Anastasia's website.

On the left side: 15 Highlighting shades

On the right side: 14 Contour shades

Starting on the left side, from left to right:

First Row: Sand, Champagne, Vanilla, Latte

Second Row: Sandstone, Peachy, L'Orange, Peaches & Cream


Third Row: Terracotta, Cream Soda, Nude, Golden Peach
Fourth Row: Banana, Mellow Yellow, 10K

 On the right side, from left to right:

First Row: Nutmeg, Macchiato, Camel, Earth

Second Row: Copper Brown, Havana, Clay, Cinnamon


Third Row: Fawn, Java, Ash Brown, Mink

Fourth Row: Espresso, Carob

This is the widest range of powder contour & highlight shades all in one on the market. There are similar products, none in the form of a book or with nearly this much product. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Book runs for $150 on their website and as they said it themselves, it is "Super Limited Edition" so whether you're an artist or just a makeup lover, get yours ASAP! I absolutely feel that it is worth the price considering all the product, the variety of shades, and the high quality/pigmentation of each shade. And if you are a makeup artist, this is a must and an investment for your professional kit. 

I don't think I'll be using this book on myself at all aside from swatching just because I specifically wanted this for clients and my professional kit. Also because on the Anastasia website, each of these 29 pans are refillable so I can buy my favorite shades and replace the empty ones in my original ABH contour and highlight palette (review here) or collect them in a z palette. 

You can buy this book at http://anastasiabeverlyhills.com/ (: I hope everyone had a lovely February. Thank you for reading! Xo
