Anastasia Beverly Hills Rose Metals Palette Do We Want It?

Anastasia Beverly Hills Rose Metals Palette is now available at ulta.com and the question of the moment is, “Do we want it?” I’ve never had to ask this question before when it came to Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyeshadow Palettes. It was more a question of, “WHEN CAN I GET THIS? I NEED IT NOW!” But the last few releases have been meh for me and I find myself being very unexcited to pick them up. Also, dare I say it? The Norvina Palettes were just too much for me. I think those palettes were gorgeous and they’re thrilling for anyone who wants a bunch of bold eyeshadows in their life. But it doesn’t feel like a realistic selection of shades that the average consumer would use daily. It’s not like you’re going to go to the office in bright oranges and purples! Could be I’m getting older and just don’t appreciate loud shades as much as I used to.

We suffer no such issues with the Rose Metals Eyeshadow Palettes! No crazy colors here! No bright oranges or bold blues! This is a pretty elegant eyeshadow palette for Holiday or evening looks. It includes 12 brand new shades in matte and highly-reflective metallic shimmers. As you may have noticed it’s a “palette” and not an “eyeshadow palette” which means there are shades that can’t be used on the eyes. Lucky enough, it’s not an half or even quarter amount of shadows that aren not eye safe! It’s merely one. Dune is the shade no recommended for eye use.

Shades include:

  • Rose Quartz (metallic pink champagne with sparkling reflects)
  • Royal (sparkling burgundy with pink reflects)
  • Haze (metallic silver gold with multi-dimensional reflects)
  • Rose Fire (metallic fiery copper with multi-dimensional reflects)
  • Sunrose (matte peachy-brown with sparkling reflects)
  • Nova (metallic golden bronze with multi-dimensional reflects)
  • Heavenly (metallic platinum gold with multi-dimensional reflects)
  • Element (metallic rosy brown)
  • Ashes (matte greyish-taupe with sparkling reflects)
  • Dune (matte rustic brown)
  • Nocture (metallic greystone with sparkling reflects)
  • Noble (matte plum brown)

As with all things this palette has a bit of a price increase by around $10. Remember when the 12-pan eyeshadow palettes were $45? They are now $55!

The question of whether I want this or not is still unanswered. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps…but for now I’m not yet reaching for my wallet.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    Am I just getting old? All these palettes are the same. I went over to cream eyeshadows to get a little break. So far I’ve seen nothing that excites me for the holidays … YET.

    • Isabella Muse

      I’m in a constant debate with myself if I’m old or they are just not exciting!

  • Joyce B.

    Is it clearly marked on the package that Dune is not for use on the eyes? If I would have looked at this I would have assumed it was an eyeshadow palette. Why would they put that in there? And what do you do with it? Sorry for all the questions, I’m just flummoxed by this.

    • Isabella Muse

      I don’t have the palette so can’t say if it is clearly marked but on details and marketing for the palette it says this is a no go for eyes. See sephora/ulta website have listed it too. Lots of palettes do this. Huda Beauty was actually sued for it because it was disclosed but they hide the warning under a secondary sticker. Likewise for colourpop. It’s all small writing they disclose that “these are not safe for eyes”. Def always read the back of your palettes for info. I think they mean for you to use it around the eye area but not directly on the lid. Does that make sense? Also, even though they are sometimes not safe for eye use here in the US you might get a completely different warning or not warning in the UK/Europe.

        Wonder if it’s a go in the EU. Looking at the shade, methinks carmine. This whole ‘unsafe…eyes’ thing is far too non-specific. The mere mention of it always elicits a lot of questions. The fact that the specifics are not clear makes it sound as if it’s to protect corporate asses, rather than to heed the MDs and Ph.Ds that have research to back the warnings up.

    I hate to take this on a political bent, but I’m not purchasing anything from ABH until her actions begin to correspond with what she states her stance is on the Russian war on Ukraine.
    She *says* she’s not pro-Putin, but her actions speak otherwise.
    I know there is a debate, so until Anastasia herself makes things crystal clear and stops “Liking” posts about Putin being super awesome, I’m on a no-buy.
    I will not support anyone who supports the Russian attack on Ukraine.

    • Isabella Muse

      I actually wanted to mention it in this post but do try to keep politics out of makeup. It just makes things complicated if I start talking religion, politics, etc…I’ve tried to bring attention to important matters like BLM, etc but I get attacked for it. So, I’ll discuss the beauty faults, pros, and cons but I avoid discussing anything too political about a brand. Hope that makes sense.

        I agree and understand why you try not to express political views on a site about makeup. If someone wants to stop supporting a product for personal or spiritual reasons they should do so. I let the Holy Spirit direct my life in everything not a makeup company. My husband and I had a public Christian ministry and we were sensitive to everyone’s beliefs and always tried to have a loving attitude to everyone. You can show love just as Jesus does. Follow the fruits of the Spirit. Blessings.

      • ReaderRita

        I completely understand your position, and I’m so sorry to hear that you get attacked for voicing your own thoughts- it is your blog, after all…
        I have always appreciated your opinion when you have mentioned things.
        I like to understand where people are coming from. We all see things differently, and I think it’s swell if someone can help me see something in a different light. I might not agree; but at the very least I’ve heard them. (and if I feel the need, I can go and research the topic further on my own.)

        • Isabella Muse

          I like to think of it as our blog not my blog. This is a safe place for everyone to express themselves and converse 🙂 Thanks so much I truly appreciate that and I’m the same way! I try to understand everyone’s opinion and in doing so hopefully learn something new. Not everyone is going to agree, this is true, but we can all still be friends regardless if we don’t share the same views and opinions! That’s adulting the right way 😀

      Oh wow, Readerrita, I had NO idea that she was doing that or I NEVER would have purchased it! As it is, I take a stance of political neutrality, but not when it comes to war crimes and atrocities against civilians, especially hospitals and schools. That isn’t political, but basic human decency. Now I’m feeling salty about ordering it.

      • ReaderRita

        Nancy T – I haven’t gotten the full story, so please do investigate before you take my word for it. I am still trying to unravel this myself. I have seen that she has “liked” a bunch of (what seemed to be obviously) pro-Putin posts, though the ABH camp claims they were anti-Putin. (Political spin makes me crazy!) Waiting to hear from the woman herself, but she has been conspicuously absent from the conversation so far. Not lovin’ that.

  • Kristy

    I was definitely confused when I saw this product. I bought a Norvina palette last year and used it once. It was very powdery with a lot of fall out. Not impressed. Never used it again and the palette was huge but the colors were pretty. Lots of lavender and nice colors. I’ve never bout anything else from ABH. I have a huge collection of high end and will stay with those. Charlotte T , hourglass, Ester, Natasha Denonna. The list goes on. Lol. Maybe when you get it you could review it. Love your emails and honest reviews.

    Actually, this one gives me all the grungy shades that I immediately gravitate towards during autumn, as I’m a Jersey Girl for my 1st 43 years and still am at heart, and this palette just screams “fall” to me. And so this past Friday, I placed my order for it. It’s the first ABH palette I’ve bought since the Jackie Aina palette, so I’m stoked!
