Anastasia Beverly Hills – Worth The Hype?

For the longest time I found myself in awe of the perfectly contoured makeup looks and the expertly defined brows using some of Anastasia Beverly Hills most talked about products. I was so pleased when I finally got my hands on some of their most hyped products: The Pro Series Contour Kit and Brow Wiz, from Cult Beauty.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in dark brown

When I first opened the brow wiz I have to admit, I thought it didn’t look too dissimilar to the Sleek Brow Stylist, which is half the price. However, one thing I did notice is that the pencil/crayon end of the Brow Wiz is significantly slimmer than the Brow Stylist.

The application of Brow Wiz is so easy because it doesn’t come out too heavy and its slim tip means that it is easy to create very natural looking eyebrow stokes. The brush end is also extremely useful for helping to comb and shape the brows. Since having this product I’ve not stopped using it and I can easily say that this is the best brow product I’ve used so far. I love the formula and even when I’m on the go I’m never without it!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Pro Series Contour Kit in light/medium

At first I had no idea where to start with the Pro Series Contour Kit. Although I regularly ‘contour’, as anyone who has seen my YouTube makeup videos will know, my technique is pretty basic and so I wasn’t sure what to do with multiple shades.

I’m not really a fan of the super heavy makeup look so I was slightly cautious at first, but one thing I discovered is that this contour kit is actually really easy to work with. I was really impressed with with the results after having first tried out the contour kit and now it’s become a part of my daily makeup routine. The shades blend so naturally with my skin tone and I’m able to use the contour kit when doing subtle day time makeup, which is something I especially love.

So the veridic is in – I say that yes Anastasia Beverly Hills products do actually live up to the hype. I’ve intoduced two new products into my makeup routine which I love and feel I couldn’t go without now! Next on my list is some of their fabulous looking lip stains! Have you tried them?
