anastasia beverly hills riviera eye shadow palette

hello everyone today i will be reviewing the anastasia beverly hills riviera eye shadow palette. this is my first ever palette from ABH.

this palette currently retails on sephora canada for $59 and it has 11 eye shadows and 3 pressed pigments. the shades that are pigments are bahamas, cannes and palm. there are 6 shimmers and the rest are matte. this is claimed to be paraban free, cruelty free and gluten free.

here are the swatches, each was done with just a finger.
the shades are sails, yacht, seychelles, palermo, seaside, inheritance and mediterranean.

next is estate, cabana, coastline, bahamas, monte carlo, cannes and palm.

the formula of these is super soft which kind of makes the packaging dirty as there is a bit of kickback. pretty much all of the shades are super pigmented. i was super surprised with how pigmented the white was. the shimmers work pretty well without wetting the brush but there will be fallout. the mattes take a bit of work to blend especially the three pigments but that is to be expected. i didn't experience as much fallout with the mattes as i did the shimmers. besides that i am pretty impressed with this palette. i do wish that there was maybe a dark navy blue but that is just my personal preference. seaside and mediterranean are probably my favorite shimmers in this, they are just so pretty. there are a decent amount of neutrals in this palette, which is kind of expected from ABH so i feel like someone who wants to try their hand at colour would like this palette. all in all i think it's a decent palette, i do wish the price was the same as the other ABH palettes, this one is a couple of bucks more. i can see myself getting some use out of it.
