Anastasia Norvina Vol. 2 Pigment Palette Swatches
Next in the Norvina palette series is Anastasia Norvina Vol. 2 Pro Pigment Palette ($60.00), which is limited edition and exclusive to Sephora. It features 25 shades across mattes and shimmers with dominant blue and green hues.
I would love this one so much more if it didn’t have dupes of its own shades upon dupes! Especially when 3 blues are only slightly different from each other, a few of the greens, too. Otherwise, the quality looks fairly solid and nearly flawless.
Although…it sure would work nicely with PMG Nocturnal Nirvana quad for some very cool toned but brilliant eye looks, now wouldn’t it? ????
My eyes literally widened at the macro shot of A4. What an ethereal, dreamy one-and-done shade. If this were released as a single, I’d pick it up for sure.
Exactly.
I’ve got a dupe for you! It doesn’t look like it as much on their site, but when I swatched in on myself it looked identical to A4! Cassiopeia from Beauty Escape Cosmetics 🙂
Thank you so much for the recommend!
Happy to help!
Some of these seem too white-based or one-dimensional, if that makes sense. I’m sure they will appeal to others though.
Most of it looks pretty good. D5 is sketchy, though. I like the color story.
Love the colors but so many dupe each other! The matte yellows, dark matte blue, bright matte blue, and warm browns.
Too many internal color similarities!
OMG – another one and lots and lots of duplicate shades too. What is the brand thinking? 4 matte greens, 5 similar blues and a wobbly looking purple/blue…overwhelming that’s what it is.
I just swatched these in store. A4 is a beautiful and unique shade. I don’t think I have anything like it in my collection. But as someone else noted, there’s a pile of dupes within this palette and also between this and volume 3.
Between the two, volume 3 has more pigmentation but that’s because the red/brown spectrum seems easier to formulate well, vs the green/blues.
If you could pop these out I would buy them, as there are enough great shades (at least on swatch) and the value is there if even half of them perform well on the lid.
This is my favorite so far. I’d almost buy it just for A4 but I’ve got so many neons thanks to the Huda palettes that it’s hard to justify the buy. And while I realize this is supposed to be for MUAs this just seems too summery going into fall. It seems like Norvina should have released these over the summer as opposed to practically releasing them all in one month. Maybe they just weren’t ready??
Sometimes I despair how my brain works!! I had no problem forking over almost $130 for two Nocturnal Nirvana palettes with four shadows and am balking at $60 for for 25 shades. I think part of it is that there are so many repetitive shades here that while they look a little different in the pan are just going to register the same on the lid. I also have a few of these more pastel type shades and really don’t use them all that much. I probably wouldn’t use this at all as we are definitely into fall/winter here and this looks very spring/summer to me. I am definitely not getting this and will put my money towards either the new PMGL palette or the Bobbi Brown palette which I am straight up only considering because of Christine’s eye look using the palette!
Its so huge ! But it may be on my Christmas list ? love the nice blues and the greens , even the pinks are very nice .
I wish these had been edited down to smaller palettes. they’re pretty but have too many similar shades!
I like this one too! A shame the first has a “B” from you. It seemed so well on a few You Tubers work, but I trust your reviews a lot and have purchased B+’s and felt you were right on so, I don’t think I’ll go there on any of ABH’s pro palettes unless it’s B+ or more.
