Modern Renaissance Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills

I wanted to pull this palette out for review, I bought it on its first release. And the reason to bring it out for review is because of the controversy on the new Sculpture palette. Now I have not received the new Sculpture palette just yet but I thought I would get back to the Modern Renaissance and refresh my memory. And while this palette was very much loved for the shades and pigmentation you can tell how unique the formula is for this palette comparing to any other palette on the market. There is a lot of kick back/ fall out but at the same time very pigmented and easy to blend with the exception of one or two shades. The two shimmer shades are so buttery and pigmented my favorite in the palette. But what I am trying to say is that I have not found a palette that I can claim to be perfect and specially because we are all different and have different opinions what might work for might not for you and vise versa. Regardless this palette has a great color scheme and can I work around the fall out? Yes I can. Do I want to take an extra step like apply under eye shields or apply my foundation last. Why not! The pigmentation is there and thats what I am looking for.

Tarte Make Believe In Yourself Eye & Cheek Palette

Straight to the point here.. I was not very impressed with this palette.. I mean the reason it caught my attention was the uniqueness of the colors and the discounted price. If you really want an even application on these eyeshadows you need to apply a setting mist on the brush or use your finger tip. More over I really don't thinks it is a cheek palette I am more of a medium skin tone and the highlight shade looks very white,  glittery and powdery it would work more for inner corner eye highlight. Some shadows are hit and miss for me because they can be a bit hard to apply.. the pigmentation is there but alone on the eyes it will disappear.  I am not 100% sure if this palette is limited edition but I bought it at a discounted price so I feel like it is. You only get one matte shadow, a very pretty one put not very pigmented. It can be used as a transition shade to blend out the glittery shades. Overall I am enjoying the uniqueness of the colors. Some colors that I don't already own. But you definitely need to pare this palette with another to create a perfect look.
