comin soon!

I love value sets at Sephora (who doesn't) and Anastasia of Beverly Hills gave me the See and Be Seen set to preview early!!!! It includes a tinted brow gel which is just freakin genius for us blondies with invisible brows. It's a caramel color that works great for just a little bit more brow definition. I like it in addition to Anastasia's brow powders. The shadows are a little bit more sunny and copper-toned than this photo seems making it perfect for summer after you've gotten sun-kissed skin. They are shimmery and well pigmented. Lastly the gloss is worth the whole kit, serious color payoff, barbie-doll pink and hot coral lips. The color stays long after the gloss is gone. Lovvvvvvve these! The specs on this fun summer kit:

• Two new HydraFull Gloss colors in Heiress and Plastic. These limited edition colors were created specifically for the theme of “Make It Happen” and are not available anywhere except in the See and Be Seen Kit. Anastasia’s Hydrafull Gloss contains lip tint to maintain longer lasting color while maximizing lip hydration and fullness.

• The new caramel tinted Brow Gel. Anastasia’s brow gel sets your perfect brow look with a hint of tint and is fortified with botanical hair conditioners and essential oils to keep brows feeling as great as they look.

• The soft pink and golden hues of the ILLUMIN8 Shadow duo in On Set. ILLUMIN8 Eye Shadow Duos are designed to illuminate, firm, and smooth the appearance of skin while also soothing, softening and hydrating.

The See and Be Seen kit will retail for $44 (with $80 value) when it arrives at Sephora and Anastasia.net this May and is a great opportunity to try – at a discount – the eye shadow duo and tinted brow gel.

Anastasia brows!!!

A couple weeks ago I mentioned I was lucky enough to try and review Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Express for Brows and Eyes. It's a fabulous palette esp for us blondies with pale, hard to see brows. It comes with stencils to fill in, wax to set, perfect shades of brow powder and a shadow and highlighter for a finished natural look. Above you can see the before and after. It's easy to use and will replace my Urban Decay brow box. I found that the wax was smoother and less sticky than UD (which I prefer) and although it doesn't have tweezers like the UD it makes up for that with a larger brush and highlighter. If you have any hesitation in shaping your brows, these stencils will be a godsend. It comes with 5 different shapes and sizes so you can pick the most natural shape for you. It lasts all day and is a great value for all you get. Pick one up at Sephora!
