Review: NYX Winter in Moscow Silver Gray Smokey Look Palette

Hey girls! So for concluding the month of July, I will review the last product that I got that NYX released for the summer/fall time. It’s called the NYX Winter in Moscow Silver Gray Smokey Look Palette. In this $19.50 set, you get 2 blushes, 5 sheer lip glosses, and 14 shadows. The first blush is a soft baby pink which is matte and the second blush is a pinky dark coral with gold shimmers (it reminded me of NARS Orgasm). The shadows include several grays (both shimmer and glittery), a matte white, and several shades of black. The glosses are sheer and range in shades from clear base with gold glitter to a sheer mauve color. You can find these palettes on their website. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!


Pro(s):
-The glosses are sheer and pair up nicely with the looks you can get by using the shadows.
-The shadows are nicely pigmented, last about 5-7 hours and are smooth when applied.
-The blushes are pigmented, lasted an entire working day on me and you don’t need that much for a flush of color.
-It’s very affordable and budget friendly!


Con(s):
-Since the powders and glosses are together, the glosses can get easily contaminated so you would have to keep the plastic in.
-There’s quite some fallout from some of the velvety shadows.


Overall review: I absolutely love this set especially because I’m a collector of palettes and this seems to be the best value. It's only $19.50 and you get amazingly pigmented shadows and blushes not to forget the glosses. I’m not being too picky about the glosses because they’re not meant to be super pigmented. They just look great with the looks you would make because for smokey looks, you’re always supposed to pair it up with a light lip and blush the colored that is provided in the palette. The shadows are very smooth, but you get tons of fallout so you might want to get some shadow shields. Thee blushes are ultra pigmented so you just need a little bit to get color. I overall love this palette and I hope you all can get in on this offer!

Review: NYX Matte Smokey Look One Night in Morocco

Hey girls! There are so many new products being released for summer and fall and I’m getting really excited on reviewing everything, but let’s do this one step at a time. Today’s review will be on the newly released NYX Matte Smokey Look One Night in Morocco Palette. It features 8 eye shadows, an eye shadow base, and four sheer lip glosses. It retails for $15 on their website and Cherry Culture as well as Ulta stores and various other places that carry NYX Cosmetics. Now, let’s get on with the review!



Pro(s):
-The shadow base helps the shadows stay on for about 5 hours when I used it.
-The shadows are greatly pigmented, smooth, and you get little to not fallout when using them. The base helps them stick on.
-The lip colors are very sheer and nice if used on top of a lipstick. They can be used on their own since they’re meant to be sheer.



Con(s):
-Since the powders are with the shadow base, the base will get discolored and powdery.
-The pull out lip gloss palette seems childish.



Overall review: I overall really like the idea of this amazing palette. You get four smoky colors and four neutral shades that you can use to do a smoky brown neutral look. Since all of the shades are matte, they’re very pigmented and the formula is so smooth and buttery/velvety so you don’t get much fallout if any. The only thing was that the lip glosses look super pigmented in the palette, but they actually turn out to be really sheer. I think that this is a great palette for people on a budget or people who love makeup all together. I think that all high-end and low-end buyers will be attracted to this palette. I hope everyone enjoyed and more reviews will be coming soon!

Review: NEW NYX Studio Liquid Liner

Hey girls! Today I will be reviewing a new product by NYX Cosmetics and it’s called the NYX Studio Liquid Eyeliner. It’s a new product for the summer and released in July. It’s already making appearances at e-tailers such as http://CherryCulture.com and http://NYXCosmetics.com where they retail for $4.50 a piece. These liquid liners were created for dramatic and intense color. There are currently12 shades available from Extreme Black to Extreme Pink. The shades shown in the pictures are Extreme Coffee, Extreme Blue, and Extreme Purple. Let’s see if they live up to what they claim!

Pro(s):
-Very pigmented and intense color.
-Fine brush applicator so it’s easy to make thin or thick lines.
-They have a huge range of shades available (have you ever heard any company have PINK eye liner).
-I got about 6-7 hours of wear with these.

Con(s):
-It’s easily rubbed off when wet thus it’s not sweat proof.

Overall review: I really like these. They also have a pink liquid liner which is amazing. They wear great and I like their fine brush tip applicator. I used this on the bride when I went to a wedding this weekend and she never needed only one touchup. The thing that was a downfall was that they aren’t waterproof. When I went to shower, I forgot these were on my eyelids and lower lash line and I rubbed my eyes. I got scared because I saw blue rubbery pieces coming off of my face and when I looked in the mirror, the liquid liner was PEELING off. Well, other than that, they’re a great bang for your buck and I suggest them to everybody. The rating just goes down because of the peeling. Thanks to Arianna for requesting and I hope all of you enjoyed!
