Wow, that’s crazy. I didn’t even see soft glam when I saw that Nabla palette and I have soft glam. Soft Glam keeps me from buying tons!! I’m amazed companies keeping putting out palettes that look like it! Great to know this. I haven’t tried Nabla yet. Thanks!!
This justifies my immediate reaction of “ooohhhhhh” and then the realization that I have all those colors. I didn’t immediately think of Soft Glam and Sultry which I have so yay me :) it’s a lovely palette and I love the Nabla formula 👍
Thank you SO much for this! I am newer to makeup palettes and have neither of the ABH palettes and was eyeing the Nabla Side by Side. I had also seen that Sultry was brought back. Thank you for narrowing it down for me - Nabla Side by Side it is!
THANK YOU for posting this! When I first saw the Nabla palette I immediately thought of ABH Modern Renaissance (without the reds) and Soft Glam, but I've been ferociously wanting the Nabla palette because it looks so pretty! The Nabla palette is now sold out at Ulta, but I don't regret not buying it since it made me get reacquainted with Soft Glam
I've watched this video at least 5 times. So helpful! Everytime I need to talk myself off the ledge about buying the Nabla. Please do more reviews like this! Thank you!
I love seeing comparisons, I try to keep my collection manageable but I get easily tempted so it helps me!! I love how you pronounced Noir... it's pronounced more like "nwar" and rhymes with "boudoir" it means black in French (French Canadian here). I speak a specific regional dialect of French so even I have trouble with French French, all that to say trust me when I say no shade is intended!! when you said it I was like "omg she is adorable and I love her".
@@drsallymanderchoi When companies put out a black shade and call it "noir"... it reminds me of when restaurants put the French translation on their menu to sound fancy... I get it though, noir sounds so mysterious and beurre blanc sounds MUCH better than "white butter sauce" lol
Wow.. Thank you. I was thinking that I needed this palette. I have the Abh palettes, so apparently I do not. I have the Nabla Cutie Platinum palette. It is a nice formula.
Hi Sally, I just found you, via a reference from Jen Phelps. You're juggling a lot, working through medical school and developing a youtube channel! I love this video and look forward to more. Keep up the good work. And best of luck with the studies. Now, more than ever, we need talented and energetic medical professionals. And it doesn't hurt that they're beautiful. lol
I can't say right now because I need to use the Nabla a bit more vs I have been using the ABH for a long long time, but I think that I like the max pigment of the ABH shades (maybe because I'm used to them).
@@adlih Did you find them lackluster or not pigmented enough? I don't have any of these abh palettes and I was thinking about purchasing nabla or abh soft glam
Most of my collection exists of Nabla palettes and they are good but for some reason some of the matte tones can be a bit patchy for me when I'm building up colours (from the side by side palette: tempera, clan, beauty mark) and they do not blend as easily and as well as the mattes from my ABH modern renaissance palette. With Nabla I have a few shades that are very easy to apply and are stunning but with ABH all of the shades "behave" the same way. I think it really depends on what kind of formula you prefer and I feel like ABH works a lot better for me.
I’m always up for seeing swatches 😊 It would be good to see the non- overlapping shades as well, to see what one has that the other doesn’t, if that makes sense. I always have that same thought when watching Jen’s swatch comparisons.
Thank you!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 I was wondering if I needed to get the sultry and the soft glam.. Now with this video i feel like I can buy the Nabla palette instead!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩Thanks again!!!
@@drsallymanderchoi I always find ABH formula more consistent quality wise than Nabla's. I have a few of their palettes and some shades under perform IMO.
I’m glad to see this actually... I LOVE ABH soft glam’s color story, but I don’t like ABH’s formula... super psyched that I got the nabla palette because I like their formula for sure
I have all three of these palette and the nabla one is my perfect neutral palette! I colors are just slightly better for me than the soft glam and I much prefer the shimmers in the nabla one because I don’t like the shimmers in the soft glam at all. This was a great comparison video tho! Super good information to have. Thanks!
If you want to complete your clownery (is that a word?) you can get the nabla Dreamy which is kind of a hybrid btw Soft Glam and Modern Renaissance with like... a soft coral and two shimmer plums thrown in there (I actually shattered the two plums in the palette so I pressed acouple of neutral shimmer singles I had so mine is even more similar). Nabla Soul Blooming is very similar to ABH Norvina too. All this from what I’ve seen because I can’t use ABH shades. Also, I’m not saying one is copying the other I just find it really interesting.
Yes it is a word! The Dreamy 2 instead of the original Dreamy has been calling me for a long time but I want some time to familiarize myself with the Nabla formula before I spend on a second one. Soul Blooming looks gorgeous too! I agree that a lot of the time, the same colors look good together so no one is copying anyone per se
You know I was actually thinking about getting this trendmood box too. I have soft glam also so now that I've watch your video I'm pretty happy that I didn't end up buying it. Lol
Omg? I just discover you chanel and you saved me about 100€ ...I was wondering if I need this Nabla palette and I dont cause I own abh sultry.Thanks a lot. Definitely earned subscribe. ;)
Whoa. Those palettes are way more similar that they seem at first glance. I already have Soft Clam and do not like cool tones on myself so I definitely do not need the Nabla palettes. I also have Urban Decay Naked Reloaded and that’s pretty close to Sultry. I have been trying to condense my palettes down to things that I use frequently anyway. It’s not going well!
I'm a clown but I justify my actions to have my first Nabla palette in a color story I will (ideally) use to death)
Wow, that’s crazy. I didn’t even see soft glam when I saw that Nabla palette and I have soft glam. Soft Glam keeps me from buying tons!! I’m amazed companies keeping putting out palettes that look like it! Great to know this. I haven’t tried Nabla yet. Thanks!!
Always glad to provide helpful info!
Try the dreamy palette or the soul blooming. They’re stunning😍
Wow. I was literally looking at both these Anastasia palettes but I’ve already ordered the Nabla one. Thank you! 🤯
Happy to help!
same!
This justifies my immediate reaction of “ooohhhhhh” and then the realization that I have all those colors. I didn’t immediately think of Soft Glam and Sultry which I have so yay me :) it’s a lovely palette and I love the Nabla formula 👍
Lmao you were one of the lucky ones who didn’t fall for it
Thank you SO much for this! I am newer to makeup palettes and have neither of the ABH palettes and was eyeing the Nabla Side by Side. I had also seen that Sultry was brought back. Thank you for narrowing it down for me - Nabla Side by Side it is!
Aw thank YOU so much for your comment! I am always so happy to hear that I helped somebody make the smartest decision for their own collection.
🤣 the thumbnail and intro omg lol. I like options in my palettes and have been super interested in trying Nabla so I love seeing these comparisons.
i had a moment of weakness, I gotta admit haha

That's crazy how close these palettes are! Thanks for all the swatches.
thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow, i liked so much the nabla palette but having already soft glam you have saved me some money. 💵👍😘
I'm glad!
Wow.. Thank you. I was thinking that I needed this palette. I have the Abh palettes, so apparently I do not. I have the Nabla Cutie Platinum palette. It is a nice formula.
Glad it was helpful! I am soooooooo close to buying the Nabla cutie platinum palette in Ulta's Cyber Monday sale because I want more Nabla
I like the idea of a combination of these two ABH palette in one! Thank you for your detailed comparison.
Glad it helped!

Hi, Maureen. I'm so happy to meet you! thank you for the sweet comment
The comparisons are super helpful. Which formula do you prefer?

This was helpful! Found you from Jen’s post, and I’m subbed now 😀
Ahh thank you! It was from your comment that I knew she shared my video! I am so happy to meet and have you :)
I have soft glam and sultry and I still want the side by side 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ great video!
LMAO obviously, same
I love that you actually compared them shade for shade a lot of UA-camr’s comparisons just show the swatches with no names.
I sometimes wish youtubers would tell us which shade is what too, so I did haha
Hi Sally, I like how you explain each palette you swatched and then explained the nabla palette was less flakier
I'm glad!
Glad I got rid of both ABH Sultry and Soft Glam, and just kept Nabla. Love it!
I really am sooooo glad i have the Nabla palette!
Why did you get rid of them if you don't mind me asking?
@@Blue-Mo0n I wasn't using them plus I really didn't care for ABH palettes, quite honestly.
@@adlih Did you find them lackluster or not pigmented enough? I don't have any of these abh palettes and I was thinking about purchasing nabla or abh soft glam
@@Blue-Mo0n in my opinion, ABH seems too powdery, too much fall out. And honestly, I rather buy Nabla, I prefer their formula

Wow!! Thank you!! I have soft glam and sultry, so between the two I don’t need this!!!
I'm glad to help! If only I weren't too late to help myself
Wow...I havent seen anyone else make this comparison! Saved me money - thanks. I totally didnt make the connection lol
Thank you so much for the comparisons!
thank YOU for watching and commenting!
Nice job!!!! Oh....,Congrats on your engagement as well.
thank you!!
I’m always up for seeing swatches 😊
It would be good to see the non- overlapping shades as well, to see what one has that the other doesn’t, if that makes sense. I always have that same thought when watching Jen’s swatch comparisons.
oh never thought of that! In the future I will try to remember to share the non-overlapping shades too!
I don’t have Soft Glam, I’m sensitive or Carmine, it’s a pretty common allergy, so when I saw Nabla was vegan, I was so happy! Carmine free!
awesome!!
I’m excited now. I was sad I abh sultry was limited edition and now nabla is coming to replace my abh.
Thank you it was THE video I was waiting for!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 I was wondering if I needed to get the sultry and the soft glam.. Now with this video i feel like I can buy the Nabla palette instead!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩Thanks again!!!
Yes I stand behind that decision!!
I recently bought the soft glam and was considering buying the nabla as well. You just saved me 39€, thanks 🙂
I may like the Nabla more than soft glam at this moment but I also suspect that the Nabla being newer to me is heavily contributing to that!

Came from Jens recommendation! Just subscribed 😁
ahhh I owe Jen so much! Thank you for visiting me!
You are so cute! Love your energy!
Thank you!!
Thank you for saving me $40. I already have Soft Glam and Sultry!!
Glad I could help! I do really enjoy soft glam and sultry and side by side haha
I had a good giggle at you calling yourself a clown I'm sorry 😂
honestly same. Maybe I played it too safe and I should have gotten Dreamy 2 but I couldn't resist in the form of a subscription-like box
Super helpful comparison! Thank you. I think I’ll pass on the Nabla palette.
Whew, I’m glad!
You know I was actually thinking about getting this trendmood box too. I have soft glam also so now that I've watch your video I'm pretty happy that I didn't end up buying it. Lol
You lucky b- I’m just kidding haha you are smarter than me! Curse the unexplainable allure of subscription boxes to me
Ready to watch
Hooray!
Omg? I just discover you chanel and you saved me about 100€ ...I was wondering if I need this Nabla palette and I dont cause I own abh sultry.Thanks a lot. Definitely earned subscribe. ;)
I'm always glad to help you save money!
Is the Nabla formula creamier? I don't like how the ABH palettes are so powdery and dusty.
It is! There is very little if any kick up in Nabla
Whoa. Those palettes are way more similar that they seem at first glance. I already have Soft Clam and do not like cool tones on myself so I definitely do not need the Nabla palettes. I also have Urban Decay Naked Reloaded and that’s pretty close to Sultry. I have been trying to condense my palettes down to things that I use frequently anyway. It’s not going well!
I know, I was negatively shook, womp womp
@@drsallymanderchoi It's a really pretty palette, though!
Waaaaat! I must google and see if this is available in the UK
Is it??
@@drsallymanderchoi yes!!!! 😁
I don’t own either of those pallets but didn’t see the similarities. I just ordered the nabla tonight.
I am really loving using the nabla palette since getting it!
I really like Nabla's shades more! Textures look much nicer 😱😍 I ordered Dreamy 2 and can't wait to try the formula!!
With soft glam especially, which is more “old fashioned” in terms of finishes. Dreamy 2 is GORGEOUS
Which formula is better between ABH and Nabla's please ?
Also being french, I laughed so hard at your pronunciation of noir 😂
"NOWHERE??"
I think Nabla's formula is easier to work with, much less powdery, bonus that it is more affordable too!
@@drsallymanderchoi thanks 🥰
We've all been there, girl 😅
I usually am pretty good about trying to prevent repeats but here we are
Nice video 👌💕
Thanks 🤗
Cute nails 😊💅🏻
thank you!
Good video :)
