My Anastasia Haul I purchased the liquid lipsticks and cream contour palette from Anastasia.com. I didn't plan on buying the gloss but after swatching them in Macy's yesterday....I was sold. I must say, the lip glosses are so beautiful, creamy and opaque, i bought 2 and plan on buying more. This is coming from someone who does not like lip gloss.

How do you ladies feel about the cream contour kits? I wanted to grab one but I'm not sure if they run too warm? Feels like you can't trust anything reviewers or IG artists say about ABH!

As a makeup artist, they are way too warm, as are her powder contours, and every other contour kit in the market.

Exactly. I'm hard pressed to call them contour kits. More like highlighters and bronzers. But people insist they are the greatest. I have the powder kits BUT I never felt like they were contouring powders. One was gifted to me and the other one I practically got for free because of points.

YES!!! They're are definitely highlights and bronzers for sure! You might be lucky to get a contour-esque colour in there for some skin tone, but it might not be for the skin tone that you're buying it for. Sets are just pointless. Even a lot of individual contour powders are pointless. But honestly, buying then individually for your specific skin tone is everyone's best bet.

I have her original powder palette and find it pretty lacklustre. I only ever use the two middle shades so I was looking at the Marc Jacobs #instamarc compact in Mirage which seems much nicer and pretty similar in colour but 3x the size. However that still leaves me wanting a cream option. Any thoughts on the Cover FX palettes? I agree that everything seems way too warm-toned to be marketed as contouring products.
