Et tu ABH?
Another brand going the way of pressed glitter, oy vey. But I do like the shade selection overall, so IDK how I feel about the palette as a whole yet.
I always like how ABH palettes are structured by quads… but this one doesn’t seem a good concept for me. New Yawker and OK, and Gemini and Gorgina are too similar to be in the same quad, the full shimmer left side (of the screen) doesn’t make sense.
I do hope ABH takes also the opportunity to repromote the Amrezy highlighter, I know many people love it.
They just need to make it permanent already, or actually make the product in sufficient quantities to last more than an hour. I know a lot of people love it, but I always wonder how many of those purchases are FOMO since it’s always deliberately under produced.
I’m actually curious how the release will go, considering some of the most recent limited editions launches from other brands where… disappointing.
It would be also interesting to see if they would re-promote the same quantity of highlighter with the palette.
But do people really want it to be permanent? Jeffree Star got tons of backlash when he merely suggested making Peppermint Frost permanent. It seems that many actually want the FOMO of a limited edition item. It’s just because the ABH and Jeffree Star audience are slightly different? It’s easier to backlash on Jeffree Star than on ABH? Do his products have a higher mark-up on the `black market` than ABH?
With limited edition it’s also hard to get many good reviews, since some avoid showcasing them in tutorials and favorites, so they rarely use it. I personally trust more the reviews on a item someone tried again and again, than a `it’s nice, but it’s limited edition so I barely use it`.
And sometimes the FOMO makes you like more a limited edition product even if it’s basic, since it’s `rare` and `precious` and related to a person you appreciate.
The Amrezy highlighter is definitely not that
under produced or FOMO since I personally waited a whole month to purchase it. The supply at sephora lasted about or even longer than 2 months. Last time I checked like 2 months ago, it is still available at Macy’s.
At the second release, I was able to walk right into an Ulta (in a smaller town) and just buy it. I was underwhelmed. It’s beautiful in the package, but I think Ofra, Maybelline, and Becca all make better highlights.
Influencer collabs are primarily of interest to those who follow beauty culture, and Ulta has been opening up in so many locations, that some stores are bound to have things like this not sell out.
Repromoting the highlighter would be a really smart move.
Selling it as a bundle with the palette would make more people get both, but if they sell it separately ABH would probably get in the odd situations of selling out the highlighter not the palette. 😆 Either way, ABH will make money out of it.
Good point!
I feel like this loos too much like Soft Glam and Riviera and stuff we have already seen from ABH. I do like the highlighter and when I worked at Ulta, it did seem to sell fairly quickly, but ABH is definitely not in the same class as. Jeffree Star when it comes to limited edition and selling out, the collab he did with Shane Dawson literally broke Shopify, along with several records in how much they sold during the original release. I am a total sucker for Limited Edition things and I agree it also has to do with liking the person it’s associated with, even if it’s a product you might rarely use.
It’s pretty, but I’m super stoked for Sydney Grace.
me, too!!
Another warm toned brown palette with a pop of blue and purple (or is it hot pink, it looks different in each photo)… but now with pressed glitter. I do like the pinks and would love to see more pink palettes with cool tone browns coming out in the future. I know that pink isn’t everyone’s thing, but they work well on me and I think those who like warm tones likely have tons of options in their stash now! I have these warm tones and a black just from ABH in spades. Plus, I really don’t care to add more pressed glitter to my collection. What I have is plenty and I rarely use them as is. Still curious to see these colors swatched because some look pretty, but I won’t be getting this palette.
Pink, pink, orange and more pink. It does look a lot like springtime but not like a palette I’d get much use from. The words “pressed glitter” make me nervous.
I just can’t with ABH anymore. Slow down and think it through instead of just churning it out for the sake of churning it out!
When I first skimmed the page super quickly, my brain read “Anxiety.” ?
Not my favorite ABH palette. I haven’t really liked an ABH palette for awhile. In fact, next to PMGL releases I haven’t been stoked about anything. I am looking forward to getting a few more Sydney Grace shadows and palettes, however!
It seems to me a mix between the norvina (for the shimmers) and the modern.a reainnasence for the mattes, plus a random Electric blu, Just to pretend to be something different from the past. Instead It’s Always the same stuff. ABH palettes have a great formula, but they are very repetitive. Once you own One of them, you are okay (that It Is not necessary not a bad thing)
Warm tones, pop of blue, and now more pressed glitters I’m living in eyeshadow palette purgatory lately, but my wallet sure is happy!
There’s something so visually unappealing to me about this palette
Me. Too! Lack of contrast? It’s fairly dark, but Amreezy is what NC35? I’m NW13. Makes more sense for her.
I guess pressed glitters are going to be a trend for a while. The colors look very pretty for spring, though. I like the pinky-purple theme. I wish the two oranges on the bottom had been cooler shades, as Anastasia puts oranges in many of thewir palettes. We’ll see actual swatches look like, though.
I like it but I feel that I can dupe the vibe with shades of palletes like Modern Renaissance, Sultry and Soft Glam except the blue and the pressed glitter. Although the browns seems to look cooler, what I like. It is interesting to see the swatches and dupes for this one.
What I do not understand is why ABH would miss the business opportunity of presenting a whole line of highlighters using the Amrezy’s highlighter formula. That formula is way ahead of many in the markets, and they can just put out many many shades and expand their brand in a more thought-through and better way. The whole puking out eyeshadow collabs is just so strange, making me feel like they do not actually have a professional business planning team at all.
They (ABH) may be contractually obligated.
It is very hard to believe so considering the case with Jaclyn Hill and Champagne pop… Especially Amrezy’s not really as much as a big name like J Hill, but Becca still got what it wanted anytime it wanted.
This will be an easy pass for me. After the last year of never-ending eyeshadow palettes it’s going to take something extraordinarily special to get me to spend money on eyeshadow again. I already have so many nice things just collection dust because who has more than two eyes??
Yes I agree. I’m glad I’m not a cyclops. ?️
I love pink/purple/peach and think this palette is very pretty, but other than a couple pink simmers and the blue I feel like I can find all the other colors in other ABH palettes, which I own many. I also am little nervous about the pressed glitter. I hope it is not one of the wet ones like Colourpop. I personally like glitters but I feel like they are just too fragile to be in a palette. They also get used up much quicker and I am always worried about them drying out.
If I finally hit pan on one of my palettes maybe I will pick this up, but not any time soon.
I do feel like lately there have been a lot of releases with this color scheme, but I do like ABH’s formula.
And somehow I totally did not know about Amrezy’s highlighter. I remember seeing it at my local Marshall’s one time and did not know it was a big deal.
Some really beautiful shades – but far too many mattes and is that glitter? in the palette for me.
So is $49 their new price point? Either way, I’m good without this in my collection. I used to have to have every new ABH release, but I don’t feel that way anymore. I picked up the Carli Bybel palette with Ulta points and a coupon, but regretted it because I just don’t want to reach for it.
There /is/ a loophole to return products bought with points. I forget what it is. Definitely look into it if it’s recent enough.
No loophole per se, you just don’t get the points back immediately – they post back to your account in about 7 days. ? (former prestige sales manager here).
I LOVED the last two collabs with Jackie and Carli (And I use the Carli palette a ton) but I hate this. Easy pass.
Not the palette for me .. and there are people in this world that I don’t like to support with my money “Amrezy”, I don’t like her and what she’s about and the palette has few shades that I won’t use. So .. Nope thank you.
Easy pass. About a third of the shades look straight outta ModRen and the rest are too glittery. This used to be a fun brand, worth waiting for releases, and now they just pump out reruns and not-special sparkles too often.
I feel very “meh” about this palette. I have Huda Beauty Nude Obsessions Light and I think that will cover my bases for the pinky/purpley tones. The rest I have in spades.
I could swear I’ve seen this palette before. Boring. Plus the glitter…
This looks to me like Modern Renaissance and Riviera had a baby. That said, I do like it and will probably get it.
It looks interesting, but too much sparkle for me, that’s a total turn off, easy pass.
Easy pass; based on the repetitive color story and pressed glitters. I wouldn’t even purchase this palette on sale. I have the Soft Glam, Sultry, and Jackie Aina collab palette. Based on the current direction of ABH releases I don’t see myself picking up new palettes from them in the near future.
This looks like a palette Barbie would own, and I WANT it!
This looks like it would work for a lot of people, but just too pink for me. I know I could wear them, but I just don’t want to (for now). LOL! And again, here we go with the pop of blue to try to reel you in. Ha!
