I hope everyone had a great week-end and those in the GTA enjoyed soaking up all the beautiful sun we finally are being blessed with.
To finally round out all my NYX reviews I left by biggest item for last which is the SOHO GLAM COLLECTION.
This is a multi use kit with a lot of options in it. Now normally I am not a fan of these types of sets but I really like this one for a few different reasons. Lets start with the pictures then my thoughts.

The eyeshadow's in this collection were the biggest selling point for me. As you see in picture 1 there are a lot of options so you can do a bright summery look to a nice bronzy gold goddess look and then the silvers and browns and darker shadows to do a sexier smoky eye. There is 48 different shadows ranging in color and finish (matte or shimmer) in the top part of the tray. Then you slide the two trays out the sides to reveal a compartment underneath that houses 8 more eye shadows, 2 applicator sponges and a small brush. There is also 2 lip glosses and a lip liner. The lip glosses are pretty basic in color and leave just a gentle wash over the lips nothing outstanding, but they are very smooth and no tackiness. I'll use them up.
The color I love of the eye shadows in the top tray is the coppery shade which is in (picture3) below the bright blue shadow and also one of the swatches on my finger tip. I can see me self using it a lot over the summer, but this color seems versatile enough that you can play with it for autumn as well. Then there is a pull out tray at the bottom that reveals 3 blushes and one bronzer and 8 lip colors. The blushes seem velvety and apply nicely without chalkiness. The lip color's do feel sticky upon application, but surprisingly some of the colors are actually appealing unlike most multi-use palettes on the market usually the lip colors don't normally cut it.
The palette packaging over all is pretty sturdy, but basic. The only downside is the high shine finish on the case shows every single finger print which makes it look dirty.
I think this collection is great for a novice or pro to the makeup world and should be given a chance even though these types of collections are often frowned upon as not being up to standard in terms of quality, but I beg to differ on this one.
The SOHO GLAM COLLECTION can be purchased for $32.99 Cad or $30 U.S and is available on both websites.

oops i guess i started backwards, this is the first one I saw on my G+ feed. Those shadows looks so pretty thought and yes they are more for Spring/ Summer looks.
ReplyDeleteI feel that again Nyx is one of those companies that just doesn't get quite enough time on blast and yet they really do have some great products , one of my favorite flat shadow brushes is from them as well. Also the Nude on Nude palette is awesome I have been using it a lot again recently. Very good for the price. Thanks for reading :)
