Hello lovely fashionistas! With fashion weeks and trends for the looming seasons it brings forth inspiration not solely for apparel, but beauty as well. Anastasia has new arrivals from their holiday collection!
After I hurriedly popped in and out of work my associate saw this parcel and instantly texted me, “Hey M, you’re going to LOVE it!” I finally opened it up and yes, I did love the treats inside!
Once again, my attention is always on the marketing as well as the product, and they certainly produce it very well. So, here’s the verdict!
_______________________________________________________________________
For The Cool Kitties: it’s the little things:
The theme for this kit had a ’70s rock influence from music title colour names to memorable jargon inspired from the period. Before opening the goods it was that special nostalgia embedded in the packaging that immediately caught my eye—let’s face it, is there anyone who hasn’t heard of Roxanne! Anyone?
This shadow kit comes in a clutch style box with a magnet closure resembling a luxe brushed velvet, but with copper glowing chains embossed atop displaying the collection’s name. Just in case one had forgotten the theme or proper palette names the vinyl size marketing showcased the details in an LP format for viewing pleasure, which is definitely a keeper!
The Beauty Mix:
Want You To Want Me: includes a liquid eyeliner, mini clear brow gel, high pigment shadows, and neutral “long wearing” shadows. To love: The playful names like, Ziggy, Brass in Pocket, and Platform Wedge!
Kisses On My List: The variety pack of 6 hydrating lip glosses, includes matte and shimmer shades, and wear all-day Hypercolour glosses. To love: Memorable tunes with the names Jolene, Sharona, and Roxanne! My favourite lip shades were Jolene and Moi.
The Groovy Details:
The differences that I found in this kit than the vintage glam one were the pink and lavender based hues, I liked this kit especially for creating a more sultry look. Perhaps, it could be best for date night or a glowing evening event, however the pale neutral tones worked good for a day glam look as well.
I did find myself drawn to the shadow colour Iron On (the deep burgundy tint ), likely because I am obsessed with oxblood hues for the autumn season. I mixed Iron On with Power Ballad and Front Row Center to achieve my look.
Although it’s only September and you’re probably not even thinking about anything remotely close to holidays it doesn’t mean that you have to wait to grab new make up hues!
*What Say You … Yay or Nay?*
This holiday kit gets a complete thumbs up! It’s an excellent buy in my opinion, especially for the rich shadow hues, they seemed to stay on nicely. Although, I liked the brow gel from this kit best, I will give this clear gel a go a few more times. Lastly, out of the entire lip gloss pack 5 out of 6 colours work well on me and all are easy to mix with other colours, so this pretty much gets … wait for it … that’s right a whopping 10 out of 10! I know, it’s the first 10 I’ve given and I am quite proud. Superb concept/packaging and product, period!
Stay tuned for more fashion goodies in the coming week!

Anastasia always makes wonderful products. I tried and loved their eyebrow kit years ago. I love the theme to this packaging. It truly makes it fun. The colors are gorgeous also. Great review.

Looks like a really great kit and love how your eyebrows look. I tend to stick with Nars and Laura Mercier, but I will have to check out Anastasia soon.

Those kits look amazing! Plus your makeup skills is also quite impressive!
Great things, no doubt! I'll be honest: I'm sure the products are great, but because this name "A…" brings me bad memories, I wouldn't wear them… I know it sounds silly, but… better than seeing it everyday and thinkink of the strange person!
Have never used this makeup but it looks great. Love all the natural colors.
Yes, yes, yes! This would be the perfect holiday gift for beauty lovers – I may need to add it to my Sephora wish list ASAP!! 🙂
Beautiful products and they definitely have that great 70-ies vibe!You look absolutely stunning btw
