Not new. One of my favorite eyeshadow palettes used to be the abh Volume 5. I don't wear it as often anymore but I do happen to have it out right now to wear to the city tomorrow.  The top and left pallet images are more indicative of the color than the one on the bottom right. I won't be wearing anything like what the models in this picture shows.

Anatasia has many brow studios all over the place.

She has been around for what seems like forever,

 

! loved her brow wiz for a number of years then switched out as there wasn't much product for the money. Then it seems that everyone jumped on the brow wagon and there are tons of innovative products now.

Anastasia started the "brow movement' back in 1997. As her websites states, she invented brows.

 

Many now copy her products. I've had her do my brows when she was at Nordstrom. Her boutiques are in the larger Nordstrom stores. Love her products.

 

Her products are sold in many other stores. Sephora, Rack, Ulta. Besides her Beverly Hill, CA store location, I don't believe she has other free standing Anastasia stores.

 

I'm only commenting on her brow products and her as a "brow artist"! She's great.

I didn't see the show, but I used to use her brow products. I liked them; I just couldn't get the right color.

 

 

 

 I did try her liquid foundation once some years ago and liked it because it wasn't too heavy.

 

 

 

 I have never stopped using, and don't plan to, her eyelid primer. I get the travel size and it lasts forever.  Smiley Happy

Not new.  I've used it for years on and off.  It's new to the Q.

Got to thinking... my sweet husband prefers my eye looks with neutrals so instead of wearing the Anastasia Volume 5 palette I'm going to go with an oldie but goodie.  So glad I had sense enough not to get rid of this with the Great Declutter of 2023.

I'll use from the left side of the pallet. But as we get into Fall I'll be excited to dig into the right side, especially that last column. That column reminds me of an ad campaign that Hourglass did a few years ago

The first time used Anastasia brow products was about 20 years ago. I had my brows done at her Beverly Hills brow salon. I liked the product that was used so much I gave up Benefits BrowZings (which I had used since the early 80s).  I was thrilled when she expanded into high-end department stores and beauty stores such as Ulta and Sephora and other online beauty retailers so I could readily get my brow makeup.  These days Dip Brow is the brow product I use 95% of the time.  Once in a rare while, I will use Anastasia's Brow Powder Duo. I also like her liquid lipstick. It finishes a little dry, so I usually apply some Smith's Rosebud Salve or a gloss under it to get a less matte finish that lasts all day. The other makeup in the brand is fine, but not items that are in my "love it" or must-have category.

I watched most of the show.  It was nice except that with every product presented, Shawn made it all about her and what color should she use.  I think Anastasia was getting frustrated with her.  Usually, when the host is presenting makeup, they don't consume most of the product time asking what shade they should use.

Shawn did that the last time I saw her presentation a few months ago.  She made that show all about her, too.  It was like a private make-up consultation that we all had to endure.  I do like Anastasia's Brow Wiz.
