All the Vanity Blog :: Beauty, Fashion & Shopping

I was amidst posting this when a 3.0 magnitude earthquake struck here in The Fort. Thank goodness all was well!

Going back, here’s another makeup purchase I had weeks ago aside from my yummy EOS lippie.

I got curious about NYX whilst browsing through Digital Traincase’s Multiply store (thanks to beauty blogger Nikki’s strong clout ). I’d been seeing reviews (mostly raves) about the brand when I was still adamant to makeup — say, a few years back. Because of the price, I didn’t hesitate to add NYX 10 Colour Eyeshadow Palette in my mini loot.

Plain Black Casing

This NYX 10 Colour Eyeshadow Palette is part of its Runway Collection. The casing is mainly tinged in midnight black. I find it nice and simple, although the overall hardware lacks sophistication (perhaps, given the affordable price tag). But hey, I’m more into the content than the packaging this time around.

NYX Casting Call Palette

I got mine in Casting Call which is mostly composed of shimmery, satiny and matte  colours in taupes — think of neutral colours like that of greys and blacks (with bronze on the side). I’ve been eyeing to pull off a smokey eye look on my peepers for a dramatic change, far from the usual beige-brownish  makeup-no makeup look that I don all most of the time.

I was too lazy to create my own swatch, and decided to provide you the one from Digital Traincase instead.

I looked for individual reviews, and I found Pink Sith’s quite useful.

The colours stand out more when Urban Decay Primer Potion is used prior to eye shadow application. Good thing I still have mine in Sin. I’ll try playing with this palette should I have enough time, and post some EOTDs. But first, I need to do some major research, and a new decent set of makeup brushes!

The nicest thing abouy NYX palettes is that they’re very affordable (did I say it a while ago? )! I bought mine for only Php 450 in Digital Traincase. I’m thinking of getting more palettes in the future, and rekindle my affinity for makeup.
