Gorgeous, buttery textures with rich, saturated colour; Anastasia Beverly Hills definitely hit the mark with their eyeshadows, with a huge range of shades and a variety of different finishes to compete with some of the best shadows on the market, proving that they're no longer just about eyebrows or contour kits. When you shop online at ABH's website, they offer bundle packages: if you get four eyeshadows, it's $40 USD and you get a free empty four-pan palette, and if you buy eight eyeshadows, it's $70 USD and you get a free empty eight-pan palette. These bundles are really only beneficial to you if you live in the US, however, since you must pay exchange rates as well as shipping and duties if you live outside the US.
Sephora now offers the same bundle deal for four pans of eyeshadow, and both Americans and Canadians can benefit from this (for Canadians, buying four pans of ABH eyeshadow from Sephora ends up being $52 CAD with the bundle deal because they end up being $13 each instead of $16). Canadians will also see that ABH is expanding at more and more Sephora locations, so that you can actually play with these eyeshadows in person now instead of relying on online swatch photos. That having been said, with so many makeup brands offering standard-sized (1.5 - 1.7 g) single eyeshadow pans these days, the ABH ones are significantly more expensive at $16 CAD ($12 USD) each — by comparison, both MAC's and Makeup Geek's eyeshadow pans are $8 CAD ($6 USD). I'm not saying the ABH ones aren't worth it, but I recommend grabbing their more unique shades (e.g. Chiffon, Peacock, Macaroon, Star Cobalt, etc.) and looking at other brands for the more dupeable ones.
