5 stars out of 5

Viseart Apricotine Petit Pro Palette ($30) is a new mini eyeshadow palette featuring eight eyeshadows in delicious peachy and bronze shades that launched for Spring 2019. You know, when you run across palettes like the Viseart Petit Pro Palette and you start using them you really have to question your sanity. I’ve spent plenty of money on a variety of different Too Faced Eyeshadow Palettes peach in theme that had more eyeshadows and were a bit more expensive in price but I’d much rather just sit and play with the Viseart Apricotine Petit Pro Palette because the quality just superior.

That’s when I have to ask myself, “WHY are you spending all this money on huge palettes when a simple, small 8-pan eyeshadow palette has everything you need to create the same look?”

Viseart Apricotine Petit Pro Palette does so please and it won’t break your bank account.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

4 stars out of 5

Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Eyeshadow Palette ($45) is a new, limited edition Spring/Summer 2019 14 shade palette that contains bright pops of color combined with a few warmer neutral shades. I’ve become quite boring in my old age which means this eyeshadow palette wasn’t terribly appealing to me but I love Anastasia’s eyeshadow formula so much that I decided to purchase it and see if I could get some fun looks out of it for Spring and Summer.

The palette is made in the USA however, it does contain three pressed pigment shades that are “not intended for use around the immediate eye area”. Stupidly, I noticed this AFTER I played with it. The shades are Bahamas, Cannes, and Palm. Palm came as a slight surprise because it’s just a boring old matte brown why would it be issue around the eye area? None the less these shades may contain ingredients not approved for use around the eye area by the FDA. That being said, if you’re willing to take the chance just keep in mind that there is staining involved with some of these shades. Both Bananas, Cannes, and even Seychelles (which is find for use around the eye area) all had a staining effect on my lids (I swatched on my arm and even on my arm they stained! You’ll see a photo below of what I mean). It was visible for about two days after I applied my eye look. It took about three to four washes before it started to fade. This applies of course, to the US only as the palette isn’t deemed unsafe in Canada.
