The much hyped highlight palette, has beautiful hues of pinks and golds. And can we talk about this soft barbie pink packaging 😍

Natural sunlight

Such perfect shades for spring and summer ☀️ 🌺 🌷🌻

Let me start off by saying I wanted to love this palette a 💯 % but I didn't.

Anastasia Beverly Hills collaboration with Nicole Guerrero has been the talk of the Instagram community for some time now and it's finally available for the public. Sephora had an early access through their app Feb 27th. The official release date was March 3rd on Sephora and abh's website and March 15th is the official day it will hit all Sephora stores. The palette retails for $40. Mark your calendars ladies.

Before I get into my thoughts and review of the palette itself, I want to mention that this is by far the “biggest” abh palette to date. Not only is the packaging bigger, but also the pans themselves are significantly bigger, meaning way more product to use! I’m never going to hit pan.

Let’s get into the review, shall we…

I’m just going to start off with all my cons. I found a few of the shades to be very chalky (note swatch picture above). There was a lot of "kickback" when I used a brush or just went in with my fingers. Personally for me that’s not a huge issue but I know for many it might be.

My first impressions of the highlights were, that they were streaky and even chunky. I did find that once applied to the face it blends itself out a lot nicer and doesn’t leave that “chalky-streaky-chunky” look. BLEND BABY BLEND!

Maybe I just got a dud. I’ve seen the swatches of other people posting and I’m like “WTF” lol.

Many people that I’ve spoken to told me that they’ve complained about getting broken palettes in the mail. So, as I looked into this matter more, I believe there might have been some sort of damage in one of her bulk shipments. I can’t imagine another reason as to why some many people would be receiving damaged goods.

Ok, now some positives about this palette…because they’re definitely were.

They’re silky soft to the touch and blend-able when worked into the face very well. Yes, I know that's a contradiction to my earlier statement but these shades are a bit of both. The glow kit is not going to disappoint in the ✨insanely shimmery✨ department haha.The pictures don’t do the shades justice. These colors are very vibrant and highly pigmented.

These shades will stand out on a multitude of skin tones, not to mention how adorable the names are😍 (Top row) Kitty Kat (a warm pink), Forever Young (icy pink), Daydream (shimmering peach). (Bottom row) Forever Lit (cool platinum), Glo Getter (warm gold), and 143 (bronze). For all you youngster’s out there 143 was code for “I Love You” when we used pagers back in the day. Oh yea, I’m showing my age now hehe.

I would say that this is comparable to the “sweets” glow kit. There is a familiarity with the colors and the buttery texture.

The Nicole Guerrero x Anastasia Beverly Hills glow kit is definitely something you'll have to test out for yourself to see if it's a right fit for your makeup collection or not. I give it a 7/10 👍🏽

My two favorite shades would have to be Kitty Kat and Daydream!

What was your favorite shade in the palette?

Kisses Lovers!
