Spellbound

Fusion




Circe & Honey are very similar but Circe is more orange & Honey is more yellow. B52 is just slightly less intense then Milan but basically the same color. Darling has more bronze then Ceto, I don't really like either color, maybe just because they are so frosty. Taupe is an awful color on me, it basically looks like I smeared chocolate all over my lips.

Review: NYX 10 Color Palette Champagne & Caviar


Quality: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 4 out of 5
Size: 4.5 inches long
Price: $9
Where To Buy: nyxcosmetics, cherryculture, nonpareilboutique, ebay
Would I Buy Again: Yes

This new palette from NYX is a must have. It has 10 neutral colors that I think will work for most skin tones. There are 3 matte colors (white, chocolate, black) & the rest are a mix of satin and shimmers. This palette has all the colors you need to make a natural everyday look or a smoky chocolate evening look. The white color is pigmented but sheer enough to work as a brow bone highlighter. All the other colors are very pigmented and have a silky texture.

The compact is glossy and chic, but shows finger prints easily. The entire inside lid is a mirror so you can see what you are doing very well. Its about 4.5 inches long but there is plenty of each color. My only complaint about this palette is that its a little hard to open and I'm afraid of breaking my nails. This is really a great product and perfect for traveling, runs between $8 - $10 depending on where you buy it.


PROS:
-pigmented
-can do several different looks
-works for many skin tones
-good for traveling
-has big mirror

CONS:
-case is hard to open & gets fingers prints

New products & color from NYX

NYX has made 2 new types of eye palettes, a 10 piece one and a 5 piece one with a lot of different color combinations ($9.00). They also have over 60 new single eyeshadow colors, 5 new trio palettes, and some new Mega Shine lip gloss shades.

Champagne & Caviar: great combo of neutral browns with both shimmer and satin colors

Pure Skin: peachy-nude matte color with fine glitter, it doesn't seem like the kind that will fall all over your face but I haven't tried it to be sure yet

Sparkle Cedar: sandy taupe very sparkly

Golden Amber: looks very bronze but applies a warm dark brown, has very fine gold shimmer/glitter, might be too warm for my neutral skin

Sensual: gorgeous dark dark purple with redish very fine glitter, my favorite color of the bunch, it reminds me of MAC's Beauty Marked with less glitter

NYX Single E/S Swatches

It took me 3 hours to do the swatches, take the pics, and crop/re-color/edit the photos. Now that I've got them all pretty I want to buy more colors to all to my collection. I forgot how much I liked the NYX e/s, I'm so use to using loose pigments.

Pretty much all these colors are good quality except Seafoam Green which is just chunky glitter. Cool Blue & Octorber Sky are quite sheer but layerable. All are swatched over UDPP.


Pure Skin - new color

Sparkle Cedar - new color

Golden Amber - new color (applies darker then appears in the pan)

Sensual - new color
