As I began to
prepare myself to purchase the new Norvina palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills,
I realized that I have yet to mention the Soft Glam palette by Anastasia Beverly
Hills on my blog! This is insane to me because the Soft Glam has been one of my
favorite palettes, and this palette has been my most used out of my collection since
I purchased it in March! So, I decided to quickly roll out this blog post so
you all can see just how beautiful this palette truly is.
When this palette first
came out, I knew I just had to have it. I was a little hesitant because I do own
the Modern Renaissance palette and I was worried that these two palettes would
be too similar. I also knew, that the formula was the same for both palettes,
and I really did love the Modern Renaissance Palette so this fact did persuade me
into buying it. Both palettes do have three of the same shades which are Burnt Orange,
Tempera, and Cyprus Umber. Other than that, these palettes are very different.
The Modern Renaissance palette has more mauve colors while the Soft glam has a
larger selection of brown shades. The Modern Renaissance is more of a daring
palette in comparison with the Soft Glam palette. If you are looking for more
of a pink hint in your eyeshadow collection, then I would go with the Modern Renaissance
palette. But, if you are wanting golds and browns, you NEED the Soft Glam
palette.
The colors are very
pigmented! If you know me, you know how important this fact is to me. I cannot
stand when I splurge for a palette and the shades are not true to color or
there is not a ton of pigment. Trust me, I have been deeply disappointed over
products I thought were going to be fantastic and had great reviews. This wasn’t
one of those cases. The colors are very beautiful and, for the most part, match
the color of it’s shade in the container.
When I used the Soft
Glam palette, I was able to go all day without this eyeshadow smearing or
creasing. I use the eyeshadow primer by Too Faced called ‘Shadow Insurance’ and
it is honestly the best eyeshadow primer ever. For the most part, it helps
reduce the creasing of my eyeshadow. That being said, I have oily skin and some
eyeshadows tend to still crease even if I use this primer. The Soft Glam
palette, however, went a whole 12 hours without creasing and without needing to
be touched up! I don’t know what this formula is, but my eyelids gets along
with it!
The final reason
this palette quickly became a favorite of mine is because there is barely any
fall out and the shades are so easy to blend! Of course the deeper shades do have
some fall out as do all deep shades, but the amount is very small compared to
most palettes. And, the fall out was none existent for the lighter colors. All of
the shades work together perfectly and blend nicely without the shades looking
basically the same as the next shade in the palette. I deeply do adore this
palette and highly suggest it to anyone on edge of purchasing it.
