Subculture - first impressions

Anastasia Beverly Hills is a brand I've only ever tried 1 product from before, and that didn't go well. 

I've always seen their products and palettes floating around the internet, especially on Instagram, 

however I've never got around to trying anything else out because I felt I could get better for a more 

affordable price. Despite all of the past controversy and hate towards this I picked it up anyway.

After strolling into TK-MAXXX I found the subculture palette sitting on a shelf waiting to be taken 

home with me! This was on sale for only £24.99, saving over £18. At first I wasn't at all impressed by 

the palette as the colours looked dull and boring, and was probably going to be another palette just 

sitting in the bottom of my drawer. However when I looked at each shade individually I realised that 

I would use this a lot more than some of my other palettes and that the shades looked amazing! 

This is a 14 shadow palette, with 11 mattes, 2 duo-chromes and 1 metallic. Each shade is highly 

pigmented and soft to swatch, with little fall out. My favourite shade out of them all is adorn, because 

of the duo-chrome finish and antique bronze shade. All shades can be worn together but also work 

perfectly alongside other shadows and palettes for a variety of different looks and styles.

Cube - duo-chrome pink

Dawn - matte peach sand

Destiny - matte khaki

Adorn - metallic bronze

All star - matte burgundy

Mercury - matte grey brown

Axis - matte deep blue

Roxy - matte coral

Electric - duo chrome lime

Fudge - matte warm brown

New wave - matte creamy orange

Untamed - matte tarnished green

Edge - matte mustard

Rowdy - matte deep plum

This palette isn't going to be for everyone however, if you are looking for a simple and 

versatile palette that can be used for any type of look then I highly suggest trying this out!

You can purchase this palette on the Anastasia website for £43.
