Stash Review: NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Palettes (Swatches)

Where to purchase: Ulta, CherryCulture.com or NYX website
Price: $8.00 - $9.00 depending on where you purchase, Ulta is usually regular retail price but you can get them when they have BOGO sales or 20% off sales at Cherry Culture



I purchase all my palettes from Cherry Culture when they did the 20% off sales on the entire site, every once in a while they would have a sale so do lookout for that.

For the price of these palettes they're not bad I like them for traveling because its very small and easy to carry in my bag and I don't have to feel bad when they break because I'm not spending too much money on them.

They have a variety of palettes and shades to choose from so everyone can have their perfect shades suitable for their skin color.

Swatches:

Jazz Night




For Eye Color Brown Palette This one is my favorite




Haute Model This palette has a lot of glittery shade, as much as I love glitter/shimmer eyeshadows this one was a disappointment because the pigmentation is chalky and the shimmers falls off even with a base :<




Champagne and Caviar





Casting Call




Overall these palettes have a lot of fall out and some shades are creamy while some are very chalky but for the price of these palettes their not bad, definitely purchase them when they're on sale and not for regular price.

Rating: 4/5
Would I buy these again?: only for the Brown Eye palette

Thanks for reading!

Disclaimer: I bought everything

Review: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

Review: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

Where to get them:
-CherryCulture.com
-NonparailBoutique.com
-mscuppycakes.com
-Ulta Stores
-Sometimes in independent own beauty supply stores





As some of you may notice I use these on my tutorials a lot as eyeshadow bases, I thought I give these a review :] I got all of at once from CherryCulture.com

These are really nice it glides on smooth and effortless, the pigmentation is vibrant and amazing. Putting these on before eyeshadow will make your shadows pop and true to the color thats in the pan even drugstore brand shadows!

My complaint about these shadows is they crease. I try putting them over my eyeshadow primer (Urban Decay Primer Potion) and it still creases in less then a hour even with a little amount of them on my lid it still manage to crease slowly. I use Revlon Cream Shadows and they don't crease on me with the primer on, without the primer the revlon does crease but not as much as the NYX do. So if you have oily lids like me I wouldn't recommend using these, the only reason why you see me using it on tutorials is because I don't want to throw them out so I thought I use it for tutorials only. Otherwise if It didn't crease on me I would of love them :[

Would I buy it again: Unfortunately no

NYX Lipgloss Review

NYX Lipgloss Review

I am going to review my new favorite lip glosses from the brand called "NYX" that I purchase from www.nonpareilboutique.com which is my number one site to go to purchase NYX stuff aside from Cherry Culture.

I have 5 GOTN (Goddess of the Night) glosses and 5 Round Glosses. Theirs not much differences between the two kinds except the GOTN is a little thicker consistency and smells like a hint of cherry while the Round Lip gloss is tinner and smells like lemon dish soap lol but I don't mind the smell really. Both are really pigmented and they have variety of shades in matte or shimmer. Its hard for me to choose which I like better because I like both equally.



1) Pink Frost - is my least favorite shade because of the frost, i'm not a big fan of frosty lips and I don't know what I was thinking when I got this.

2) Beige - Although they say beige it looks like mauve o_o but I really like this color it has no shimmer so its matte and really nice for a natural lip color.

3) La-La- In the tube it looks like a hot neon pink (camera doesn't show well) but on the lips its just a pretty light pink with no shimmer

4) Perfect - Is just a simple light peach gloss with a little shimmer, the colors doesn't show up on my lips so its quite sheer.

5) Baby Rose - Is a very light pink sheer color with shimmers, basically acts like a clear gloss with shimmers.

6) Muave - A beautiful mauve color, this is a matte shade and they show up very nicely on my lips! My favorites

7) Ballerina Pink - a really nice barbie pink, this is such a cute shade and does contain very little shimmer.

8) Doll - is a hot pink shade, this gloss really shows the hot pink on my lips! I just use it very lightly so it looks natural.

9) Caffe Latte - is a nude color, perfect color if you do that smokey eye look

10) Whipped- a peachy nude color, this is also my favorite nude color and its matte.


Applicators GOTN: left and Round Lipgloss: right. As you can tell from the image they are sponge tip applicators. Most people prefer brush because sponge applicators tend to get less product out of the tube so people usually have to apply them many times but for the GOTN applicator is a little longer then the Round lipgloss which I like better because it grabs more product but really it doesn't matter for me.

Price: GOTN is $3.98 and Round Lipgloss $2.00
Rating: 5/5
Would I buy this again?: yes!
