NYX EYESHADOW PALETTES (PHOTO HEAVY)

WELCOME EVERYONE,


Today I will be sharing with you a few palettes and two trio's I picked up about three weeks ago from the NYX line. This is going to be a fairly lengthy post, but mostly photo heavy. I have not had a lot of time to play with them and create looks using them. However I often can tell from swatching and touching the shadows to know if I am going to love or hate them. So lets get started.


The first two I am showing are the trios

LOVE IN RIO- CAIPIRINHAS ON THE BEACH 3g
A stunning vibrant trio of aquatic blues with strong pigmentation

I find shades of blue such as these tend to often have the best colour payoff and often times purples are the weakest.

LOVE IN RIO- EN FUEGO 3g

I find this a very pretty sultry little trio with lovely shades suitable for evening looks

These particular colours and the texture make me think of suede and I love that rich burgundy berry tone in the middle.

Moving on the next are the 5 of the LOVE IN PARIS 9 pan palette

06- C'EST LA VIE

A nice complimentary mix of neutrals and gem tones

The three shades at the bottom are the real highlights of this palette, all shadows are shimmer in this one.

07-PARDON MY FRENCH

This is my favourite of all these palettes because all the colours are equally balanced and the colour payoff was the best overall. I love that its very earthy and their are some great orange toned shadows to be had in this palette.

My favourites in this palette is the light minty green, the orange gold beside it to the right and the chocolate brown with fine gold fleck glitter in the very middle.

09-MERCI BEAUCOUP

This palette is a mix of neutrals and pinky red based colours. There is also a good mix of matte, satin and shimmer finishes. However 4 of the 9 colours had extremely poor colour payoff as you will see in the photo's. If the pigmentation had have been more consistent this could have been an excellent palette for everyday use:(

As you can see really the two main standout shades here are the top middle and the one below it, also the reddish colour on the bottom right is decent. However I would probably skip this palette all together as its least favourable.

10-JE NE SAIS QUOI

This palette offers up shimmer, glitter, matte finishes and the colour payoff of the black and cream colour above it are phenomenal. The black is so saturated and the cream colour is the perfect finish and colour for brow bone highlight.

I would say 5 of the colours that are the light shimmer tones are to close in colour and the variations could have been a little better, however I love that black and actually the photo does not do it justice.

and lastly is

11-YOU ARE IN SEINE

So the black in this palette has chunky silver glitter and then the brown beside it is satin and the middle colour that's a peachy gold is shimmer and same with the gold at top left. All the other 5 colours in the palette are matte which I think will be a big selling point for some people. However again some of the shades are weak, but the true star in this palette is the matte indigo/teal blue on the bottom left.

Again that one really light shade in the middle to the far left is almost non-apparent, but this palette is still quite nice overall.













So that concludes my initial thoughts on these offerings from NYX. I hope you found a palette that has caught your eye. I just wished that they were all a little more consistent with the exception of "Pardon My French" which I feel was best overall.

The trios are 3g and were $8.99 CAD

The 9 pan palettes are $11.99 CAD

LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE TRIED ANY OF THE LOVE IN..... TRIO'S OR PALETTES FROM NYX?????
