Anastasia Beverly Hills - Contour Kit, Lipgloss & Liquid Lipsticks

These are my first Anastasia Beverly Hills Products and they definitely wont be the last! I love them! Everything from the packaging to the product inside has me hooked. They're so pretty and I cant wait to get my hands on more. I bought these from Macy's and I hunted around the cosmectics section for around 5 minutes and just when I thought that there wasnt any there, Matt found the stand tucked away on the other side of a Tarte stand. I couldnt decide what to get but I knew that lip products had to be on the list as theyre difficult to get hold of in the UK.

First of all I looked straight at the Liquid Lipsticks. Pure Hollywood was at the top of my list but unfortunately, that Lovely and another shade was out of stock. So I settled for the next two I wanted. Milkshake is nude colour with a light pink tone and Baby Pink is pretty self explanatory  but its a fun pink colour. I seriously want them all now, they're incredibly pigmented and very comfortable to wear on the lips. 

I knew that the Lipglosses came out but I didn't realise they were fully stocked in store so I was rather excited when I saw them underneath the Liquid Lips. They have such a large range of lipglosses, there really is a big enough range for everyones taste. I just picked up the one lipgloss as there were other things I wanted to buy. Undressed is a beige nude colour with a slight peachy tone which is my favourite nude shade to wear. Also, these lipglosses are only $16 which I think is such a bargain for what they are. I cant wait to get more when I go back!

I was just about to go to the counter and pay when I saw the contour kits all stacked nicely down one side. I couldn't resist as I dont have any contour kits so I was eager to pick one up. I then had to make a choice between cream or powder. I went for the powder purely becuase I find powder a lot easier to use on an everyday basis and I need some new tools to create a good cream contour with. So next time I go, i'll hopefully have new tools so I can pick it up!

I can see why a lot of people rave about this palette, it really is very pretty and the powders are great quality so theyre worth the $40. The contour shades are great and there is a really nice highlighting shade that has a really pretty sparkle to it. I'm looking forward to creating a look with the palette, as well as the rest of the products! I also love that I can replace on shade if I need too as they can all be bought separately. 

Let me know what ABH products you guys have and which ones I need to buy next time!

Dupe Alert! Burberry VS Makeup Revolution

 

So I opened up my free sample of the new Burberry Kisses lipstick and after playing around with it for a while, I noticed that I had seen a shade very similar to it before. Now yes, I know that we all like to indulge in an expensive brand now and again but sometimes, why spend so much on a lipstick when its the colour you want.

These two are incredibly similar, as you can see from the two pictures, when its with a flash or without, they really very close in matching. Also, the consistency is very similar too as they're average in pigmentation so both lipsticks have to be built up to get the bold colour that you would want from a red lipstick.

These two products maybe similar in colour but they're very different in price. Makeup Revolution Atomic Shade in Atomic Ruby is only £1 where as the Burberry Kisses lipstick in Military Red No.109 is £25! That is a huge difference in price so sometime you can see that it is the brand of pay for. I would love to own a few more full size Burberry Kisses Lipsticks as they are really nice but as I'm a little scared of bold colours, I'll definitely purchase some more bold colours from Makeup Revolution because if I decide I don't like them, for £1, it's not a major waste! 

What do you think? I think they're so similar!
