MAYA MIA is a rising star in Makeup & Beauty Blogging industry. Famous for her YouTube channel and Instagram, this Tanzanian Makeup Artist and Blogger is as beautiful & flawless as her makeup tutorials. She collaborated with Anastasia Beverly Hills and came out with “Maya Mia” eyeshadow palette which consists of natural, jewel toned and bright colors. The website describes the colors are ideal for Summer, but why don’t we incorporate some warmth in Winter-almost Spring?!

“Designed in collaboration with Maya Janeska, these refreshing neutral hues combine with two pops of color to create the ideal palette for summertime looks with a hint of mod style. 10 shades that coordinate flawlessly.”

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY:

This palette retails for $29 and it can be found on- Anastasia Beverly Hills.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

This palette comes with 1 eyeshadow palette with 10 shadows, 5 tutorial cards by Maya Mia and a small double ended brush.

The packaging of this palette is eye-catching. The colors speak what’s within the palette with shades of peachy-pink, aqua, green, gold and brown tones. The front of the palette has MAYA MIA inscribed on it.

If you have keen on ingredients, then you can find those on the back of the palette, with also cruelty free sign.

As I have mentioned in my Tamanna palette review, I am not very happy with the Duo Shadow brush these palettes include. But these small brushes are okay, if you are travelling or need a brush in a hurry.

The 5 tutorials included in the palette is really helpful. 5 different eye makeup looks with different techniques is easy to follow and master.
