ABH Master palette By Mario Review & Swatches

21st October 2016

Happy Friday loves!!

 

My post is all about this new stunning palette by Anastasia Beverly hills and Mario Dedivanovic you know the same Mario who just happens to be Kim Kardashians long-term makeup artist.

I am a huge fan of ABH and novrina, I have mentioned ABH lots of times on my blog, and I also love Mario and have been a fan of his for years so I had to have this palette regardless of what it looked it.

when it was finally revealed the shades took a while to grow on me not because they are bad but because I think I had just pictured something completely different in my head and thought Mario would have created something different,  but the more I saw these shades and the swatches I fell in love!! This is definitely a case of don’t judge a book by it’s cover. The shades screamed Autumn/winter Which is great for this time of year but also the palette is so versatile at the same time I could see myself using it all year round. I’m a huge lover of shimmer and matte shades, especially Browns and neutrals.

This palette does have more shimmer shades than Matte but I wasn’t bothered by that at all although some might prefer mattes. I would say ABH have one of the best eyeshadow formulas in my opinion I don’t actually own any other ABH eyeshadow palettes but I do own the singles shadows and I love them. I’m definitely going to pick more up when I go back to America next year. As we don’t get the full ABH collection In the UK.

When I did eventually see the shadows swatched all over Instagram and snapchat I could understand why Mario had created and picked these shades, especially when you see a lot if his work and looks he creates on celebrities. He can make a neutral smokey Eye look incredible just by adding some earthy tones to really Brighten up the eye.  Kim k has been rocking some stunning makeup looks recently with Mario using this palette which made me want this even more, not that I could look anything like Kim k but hey if she uses this then so can I.

The Packaging is so stylish and I love the black and gold.

Packaging is sturdy, great for travel and love the fact it comes with a decent Brush and good quality mirror.

palette comes with 12 stunning mostly warm toned shades with a mixture of shimmers, sheen and matte textured shadows.

The shades

  • hollywood / warm gold shimmer
  • NYC / warm brown/reddish sheen
  • Kim /warm toned orangey brown shimmer
  • Muse /  can only describe this a brick toned reddish brown
  • marina/ copper shimmer with peachy tones
  • Claudia / cool toned grey/blue with shimmer
  • Lula/ on me this looks cool toned. perfect matte taupe brown
  • Isabel/ matte orange/ brown
  • Violeta /matte brown with Red tones
  • 5th ave / more of a yellow toned gold to Hollywood
  • bronx/ dark olive, khaki green with gold shimmer
  • paris /warm copper toned brown

 

please forgive my shade description I suck at explaining, in my head I know what I’m on about and it makes sense I promise ha. It’s a very warm toned palette and some will say the shades are very similar.

Look at those shade names though, a palette really speaks to me when I love not only the shades but the names as well.

Mario actually said this about the names “all of the shades are named after the most influential women and places in my life. These women and places have all been very significant in my life and career”

I just  love that, even when I saw the names I knew Mario had  picked them himself, the fact we have Kim, muse, Paris, Bronx just to name a few.

Now on to the actual shades and formula, these are the same as all the other ABH shadows so if you haven’t tried them before they are amazing, so pigmented, blend effortlessly and silky to touch.

The shimmers  in this palette are insane, pigmented in just one swipe but also can be layered and used wet or dry, so using these wet would make them even more intense.

I’ve taken some swatches below although you really can’t tell how amazing these shimmers really are from these pictures.

First row

Hollywood, NYC, Kim, Muse, Marina, Claudia

 

2nd row

Lula, Isabel, Violeta, 5th Ave, Bronx, Paris

Doesn’t this second row just scream Autumn??

I’m in love with all of these shades, you can create some stunning brown and or gold smokey eyes using this, that’s without the shades like Bronx and Claudia. I don’t have many palettes with a shade like Bronx so I’m very excited to use this one, I’m loving olive at the moment, Few of my other favourite shades are 5th ave, Kim, and muse.

The palette is limited Edition I’m afraid so once it’s gone that’s it, it sold out super quick on ABH website that’s where I ordered it from for $45 as I don’t believe this will be stocked with any UK stocklists such as cult beauty or beauty bay which is a same but It was also available on Sephora, I’ve just checked and it seems to be sold out on Sephora now as well!! If you live in America or are visiting anytime soon you might have some luck picking it up in stores including Macy’s impulse stores. so sorry, but I still wanted to do this post as I love reviewing things for you all and I had to share this gorgeous palette.

I can’t wait to use this more and create some lovely Autumn looks.

Did you have your eye on this and manage to pick it up? Let me know below.

 

Thanks for reading, and happy weekend!! Xo

    Ugh, it’s so pretty! I didn’t think I was going to give into this one but now I’m second guessing. It’s just too pretty and ABH shadows are amazing quality.

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
