You’d probably be surprised about how obsessive I am over makeup. I am – very into it. I usually do not wear makeup but, that is because I’m lazy and do not have time for it. I know there are people out there who are motivated to get out of bed in the morning to do their makeup and look fabulous. However, when it comes to me I do not care if I look like a hag, I am going to continue sleeping. On the occasions, I have time to do my makeup, I go all out on my look especially, the eyeshadow bit. I believe that a person’s eyeshadow look gives them the power to express themselves while also pulling their look together. That’s why I feel that spending a lot of money on an eyeshadow palette is worth it. If I were to recommend a palette for you to buy, it would be Norvina by Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Norvina. This palette has a beautiful name and colour scheme. I feel that it has a perfect balance of glitter and matte shadows. With the colours in the palette, you can create both smokey eyes or natural looks. I really love the purple and pink tones because can combine them for a nice romantic look. The shadows are also v
ery pigmented, even the sparkly ones. Although, the glitter shadows can be more intensified if you wet your brush with either water or setting spray. From experience, the eyeshadow lasted about 6 hours without eyelid primer before I needed to reapply it. In comparison to other glittery eyeshadows, the ones in this palette have very little fall-out. The brush that comes with the palette is pretty basic. You can choose to use it or not but, I do say that it isn’t that bad of a brush. One thing that I do dislike about this palette is that not all of the shadows that appear to be matte or actually matte. Base, Soul, and Love appear to be matte, in reality, they have some shimmer to them. I wish that they were matte although, that is my own preference. Lastly, the cost of the pallet was around $60 (Canadian) when I bought it. For some, this may seem way too expensive. I thought so too, then I decided to spend my money on it. Now, I do not regret buying this palette, I have fallen in love with it. Norvina is totally worth its price and I bet that if you get it you will enjoy it just as much as I do.
