Anastasia Beverly Hills Tamanna Palette *Review*

So, I got the the Tamanna Palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills for Christmas, and it was the first eyeshadow palette I'd ever gotten from the company. Of course, I have most all of the brow products, so I am already familiar with Anastasia's line. 

Anyone even remotely aware of the beauty community or likes having their brows "on fleek" will recognize the Anastasia name. She is most commonly known as the "Brow Queen" or "Queen of Brows." 

It doesn't surprise me at all that she has this whole astounding makeup line cropping up, or that her eyeshadow palette collabs are of such great quality. Yes, I realize I just gave away my feelings on this palette a tad prematurely. 

Aside from the limited collab palettes, Anastasia just released this whole new single shadows line. I've heard and read great things about them, but have yet to purchase any. I do look forward to getting some of them a bit on down the road, though. If any of you have bought some of them or any of Anastasia's other palettes, I'd love to hear about your experiences with them. 

Just as a head's up, this palette retails at a VERY affordable price of $29. It's definitely a bang for your buck! 

Now, on to the palette review.. 

I found myself really liking the packaging in this palette, actually. I love the beautiful design on it and the rich red/maroon and gold. 

The back of it has the standard ingredients, company info, patents, etc. 

The material of the palette is the common cardboard type finish with a magnetized lid to open and close it.

I love the colors in this palette. They're mostly warm and just beautiful. The rich accents of the shadows really complement and/or go well with the packaging. 

I really like how the palette included a matte black shadow (called "Noir"), which will undoubtedly work well in smoking up any of the other shades for a night time look. The cocoa brown called "Chocolate" is also really nice. I love a warm-toned brown. "Custom" on the end of the first row is a shimmery taupe with a hint of silver, and is amazing. "Fresh" is a nice off white, which is great to use on the brow bone for a highlight. I also really like "Sangria" because with my hazel eyes, you all know I like any burgundy-wine colors to make my eyes appear more green.

I won't go through them all, though, since I've provided several photos of swatches below. The last one I do want to mention is the color "Bengal," which is the main matte transition shade in this palette. It's very earthy and clay-colored. It's probably my favorite color in the palette, because it's a transition shade and can be toned way down, but could also make a perfect pigmented lid shade, too. It's just very versatile. 

  

The brush in this palette isn't of exceptional quality, but if you were just starting out your collection, it would make a good crease/outer corner brush for blending and popping on the darker outer-V shades.

I hope the swatches give you a good idea on the color payoff. I apologize you can't really see "Fresh" on the top, but it's so close to my natural skin color and blends into my skin. 

If you asked me would I recommend this palette, then I'd definitely say yes. It's one of those palettes where you just can't help but like all of the shades. The only shade I don't prefer from the palette is the blue color "Venezia," and that's just because I don't think blue shades look as good with my eye color. I give this palette an A+ for quality, pigmentation, lasting power, smoothness and positive packaging. 

Comment any questions you might have regarding this palette. I always feel like I miss telling you something important when I do reviews. And look to my signature to be up within the next few posts. Mostly just whenever I get time to fix one.
