Anastasia Glow Kit in Sun Dipped Review & Swatches

Hey Y'All,
Welcome back, this week I decided to do another review
since my Bh Cosmetics palette review did very well!
In this blog I'll be reviewing the famous, the queen of ALL
highlighting palettes....

This palette is recommended for darker skin tones BUT
as for me with my pasty white skin this palette is a dream...
for my face at least... 
I managed to purchase this from an instagram seller,
I'll keep her anonymous as I have no permission in exploiting her
name/company. I made sure this product is 100% authentic and came brand new too! I purchased this for $45 but yes, it's worth much more on the Anastasia Beverly Hills website and other retailers like BeautyBay.com

Firstly, the packaging is actually quite big and sturdy. Includes four big magnetic pans, which means you can take it out for your personal Z palettes. Packaging is very beautiful with the Glow Kit name and shade and the large ABH logo in the middle, with the signature gradient look on the exterior of all the glow kit palettes.

It has amazing big pans with four very different shades. 
Top left: Bronzed is a very beautiful shimmer bronzer that you can use for highlighter, bronzer itself, on top of a matte bronzer or eyeshadow. This is super pigmented as it has the most pigment/colour (darker) compared to the other three. I really like this shade as all skin tones can use this and for many different ways too.
Bottom left: Tourmaline is a very unique pinky lavender shade, which is a very fun colour for people that love to experiment with neutral colours on the cheeks. This purply shade looks quite wearable and doesn't stand out too much and anyone can use this shade on the cheeks or as eyeshadows. On my yellow under toned skin this shade looks amazing!
Top left: Summer is a beautiful yellow highlighter, great for people with Asain/yellow undertone complexion. Swatch isn't strong as the two shades on the left as its much lighter but I find that as you build on with the application it can get much more pigmented and glowly! (Personally my favourite)
Bottom left: Moonstone has the less amount of pigment and glow factor but regardless this shade is a great shade for pink undertones and can also be built up with application. This shade can be used for a subtle everyday glow too! This shade can come off as the most natural and wearable on the cheeks but also great for the inner corner of the eye for an eyeshadow look.






Overall, this palette is on the high end side and pricy but when compared and taken in consideration that it is a highlighting palette with four big pans it can last you a very long time and very worth for its value, smooth and blendable (don't go too overboard!), super easy to apply with fingers and makeup brushes, versatile palette; highlighter, eyeshadow and bronzer!

8/10 packaging as it's quite bulky 
9/10 as some shades needs more swatching and application more than others but overall THAT GLOW IS LIT LIT LIT AHAHAHA
Would I repurchase? YES YES YES recommend to everyone that's contemplating getting this palette!

Thanks for reading,
