i just ordered my first anastasia palette! my sister just started working at a certain retailer that sells a lot of brands (abh, lime crime.. i think you can figure out where she is) and family usually gets 25% off ... but we get 40% off this month soooo....
they only had maya mia, so i grabbed it... pretty excited! everyone has said so many great things that i couldn't pass it up for $18 shipped.. :x

i felt kind of bad since i bought a lot of colourpop, but @Dolly Snow was very encouraging and affirmed my decision (thankyouuu!!!)

Finally broke down and got the contour kit from Ulta. I figured I might as well use the 20% coupon on it along with the giftcard I received...that way if I'm not thrilled with it i wouldn't care so much since I didn't pay for it myself lol

How do you like it? I'm enjoying mine but find it to be a little powdery looking sometimes. I'm hoping it may just be an issue of my moisturizer not being up to par with winter weather, and/or my foundation causing it. It's really just the top right shade that cakes up though, so it could just be a one-off. I'm going to pick up a bottle of Fix+ and see if that remedies anything. If not, I'm waiting on a package of skincare products my cousin sent me from Aus. *dances* Does anyone have any experience with the Pro Pencil vs Brow Duality? I'm looking for something to "carve out" and highlight my eyebrows as I really can't be bothered with liquid concealer on the daily. I was leaning towards the Pro Pencil so I can use it around my lipline with nude lipsticks, but I'm assuming this could also be done with the matte side of Brow Duality. I guess it really comes down to formulas and colours! For the record, I'm looking at PP Base #1 and BD "Shell/Lace".

I've only used it once so far for some light contouring (because honestly I don't have a need to contour my face too often) and highlighting. I didn't have any trouble with it looking too powdery or caking, but I can't recall ever having that issue with any powder products that I use. I used my NARS Ita brush for the contour shade and the Cozzette S165 for highlighting. :shrugs: Overall I like it, but I don't think the contour shades are the best for anyone that wants to do some hardcore contouring.

I've used the contouring palette on several faces and none of them looked powdery. The contouring was not heavy but you could see it. They were very light skinned. I've used it and I have medium skin. My husband noticed. He's a photographer so makeup is something we talk about.
