*NEW* Anastasia Beverly Hills Nouveau Palette-review, swatches, make up look and eye shadow durability test. Has the ABH done it again?

 

Hello darlings,

 

In this post I am going to be reviewing the new ABH Nouveau palette. Since the pandemic started and maybe even before, I haven’t been excited for the make up launches in general because of the overbearing feeling of having a new launche every single day and nothing just appealed to me as it all felt repetitive and generic. I was more focused on the skin care. Among the other brands, ABH had also launched a lot of product especially under the Norvina sub brand but those palettes were just overwhelming for me and I also did not like the formulation of these palettes.

Nevertheless, when the Nouveau palette launched, I was intrigued. This is, in my opinion, very original palette with the unique nudes and shimmers with olive green undertones. It looks similar to the other palettes such are Tiny Marvels or the Jaclyn Hill’s palette but it is quite different in the undertone. You can create both everyday nude looks and glam looks with this palette. I really like it because of the versatility of the colors and also, I just love green eye shadows. Nouveau in French means new and for me these olive and gold tones in palette remind me of the Art Nouveau which is an international style of art, architecture, and applied art, especially the decorative arts, which was most popular between 1890 and 1910.

The palette comes in a green box, and the palette itself is green, made from some textured material that feels like woven plastic material similar to the beach bags or to the ABH Riviera palette if you have it. Inside of the palette is gold. Compared to earlier ABH palettes, it contains 12 versus 14 shades, with larger pans, and it doesn’t come with the dual ended brush. In this palette, you get more product compared to earlier palettes; as you get 1.34g per shadow which equals 16.08g in total versus earlier palettes were you got 0.74g per shadow which equals 10.36g in total. It is cruelty free, made in USA and the price is little higher than previous palettes, 55$.

In the photo, you can see the swatches. Regarding the quality, I don’t think there is a significant change from their previous formulations. Shades descriptions:

WINGS  is  metallic silver green with sparkling reflects

  ISLE is metallic blonde gold

  BELLE is metallic antique bronze

Ingredients

Here you can see the make up look I created, using Paloma, Liberty, Hope and Wings. The only complain I have, it that I wish that the Muse color was matte instead of being shimmery.

Here you can see the durability of the shadows after 12h of wearing. I used Milani eye primer.

I think that this is the perfect palette for the summer and autumn, and in the sense of uniqueness it is comparable to the Modern Renaissance palette. ABH did it again! 

Until next post,

XOXO
