It certainly was for me. I just got my ABH Contour Kits in the mail, only 28 (28!!!) hours after purchasing. I am SO impressed with how fast they were sent out to me; a whopping 2 days earlier than my scheduled arrival time. And the fact that everything was correct, in order, packaged well, and just went smoothly in general was a major plus.
So the two kits I purchased were part of the "Build Your Own Palette" out of the kit refills that launched on Monday, July 28th. I mixed and matched colors and got enough shades for personal use, and then some extras for my kit for when I freelance.
But without any further ado, here are the photos:

The palettes arrived empty and all shades were packaged individually like this, which made it really easy to see the shades & their names. All names were also printed on the backsides of all pots:
Overall:
I am so excited to get started with these shades! A few of the highlights are too dark for my fair skin, but I plan to use them as eyeshadows, for layering, or with other clients. The deep tones are beautiful and smooth, not at all chalky, and none of them run too orange or yellow. My favorites so far are Vanilla, Champagne, Fawn, Clay, Macchiato, and Terracotta. Just beautiful shades!
The refill shades can be purchased on Anastasia Beverly Hills website (links below) individually for $14 each, or 6 for $40 with a free empty palette. I purchased two full kits and paid for two-day shipping, which came to $96.08 after tax. It's definitely worth it to build a palette and get the 6 for 40 deal, considering 3 individuals cost more than a whole new palette.
I'll be doing an in depth review with all of the shades as soon as I get time to play with them all and get a feel for them. Until then, I highly recommend these. Check it out!
