I absolutely adore Anastasia Beverly Hills products. I find them so easy to use and they never fail to impress me. I've used the Dipbrow and Brow-Wiz for a long time now and wouldn't even consider using anything different on my eyebrows! I also have a couple of liquid lipsticks that I am in love with. The formula of them enables it to stay on all day and it just glides on the lips so easily - it's certainly an ever-expanding collection of mine.

After receiving the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance as a Christmas present (thanks mum!), I completely fell in love with it. The colours are so pigmented and so original! They blend together so well, and it’s so easy to combine different colours to make different looks.

When I saw that the Subculture palette was announced, obviously I NEEDED it. The shades are amazing and perfect for my upcoming Autumn wardrobe. I managed to get my hands on one on the release date from the UK ABH website; I couldn’t believe it!

However, I then proceeded to see some mixed reviews about it. Holly Boon – a make-up artist and blogger whose opinion is like the holy grail – stated she didn’t like it and that it didn’t blend very well. I was quite surprised to be honest, Modern Renaissance was so successful; how could this not live up to the same standard?!

I’d already ordered it at this point so was pretty gutted. However, when it arrived, I didn’t have the heart to send it back. I’ve seen some beauty bloggers create some amazing looks with the palette, so I’m going to do what I usually do and attempt to poorly recreate them! My Modern Renaissance palette has quite a bit of fall out – something that a lot of people have complained about regarding the Subculture palette, so I’m not overly concerned about that.

I feel like the ABH palettes can’t really be compared to other palettes such as the Morphe ones – they are such different palettes with different ingredients, and to my knowledge, are pressed differently, creating a different outcome!

So far, I like it! I’ve swatched the colours and it seems fine to me so far. Each to their own, I guess! Everyone should form their own opinions of products, and not just completely rely on others opinions.
