Greens and Olive with Nyx The Runway Collection In Secret World

Hey girls I have added a new eyeshadow palette to my eyeshadow collection and I’m super excited. 

Ta dah! NYX 10 color eyeshadow palette from The Runway Collection in Secret World. A super nice palette that consists of different shades of greens, golds and oranges. 

This pallet reminds someone of that first falling leaf that marks the end of summer and the start of autumn. How I wish its so true here as well.

These colors are pigmented and rich, and the application is very smooth. I also love how the shadows looked on my lids. I'm sure that the finish is just the same as most high-end eyeshadows over, well,  a really good eyeshadow base.

Swatch this! ^_^

Top Row: L-R
1-Creamy yellow neutral with small flecks of glitter
2- Golden tan frosty -creamy texture
3-Soft peachy frost
4-Muted Orange frosty-satin
5-Reddish brown-satin

Bottom Row: L-R
1-Fresh Spring green-satin
2-Dark muted forest green-Frosty
3-Lime Green-Frosty
4-Forest Green- Satin-matte
5-Light fresh white green


All in all, the shades got shimmers or are pearl like, some may have glitters in them (more of a hint of glitters in them). As I have said above, they are really pigmented and creamy. They are easy to apply as well,  it took me one swipe to do the swatch and you won't be sorry with the light shades along with the neutral ones and they have colors to share themselves.


What to like:
- Pigmentation - these palette are great! 
 -Price- great sheer variety you get in one little palette AND they are not knockout
 -Buildable - colours are buildable if you want a stronger look and a lot better than than most drugstore level brands have to offer in terms of variety.
 -dupe for Kat Von D's True Romance Palette in Ludwig (uhm, I think the shades are similar)


What not to like:
 -not available locally!!
- if you're not into greens, this is not for you

Overall, this a great palette with 10 complimenting shades of greens, olives and neutrals ^_^ Definitely a go to palette ^_^

cheerio

Eyeshadow Palettes

I can't wait for this Tuesday when I will finally be getting my hands on 2 eyeshadow palettes!! Yeah, I'm getting addicted to eyeshadows and but then I'm the type who's too lazy pick out single eyeshadow and spend a lot of time in the mall or online looking for such. So, yeah, I'm a palette fan.


First up, Nyx The Runway Collection in Secret World

Pretty much after lots of reading reviews and checking swatches, I decided to buy  this.. I got this from carefreeshopper and she has like lots of Nyx goodies ^_^. 

This palette is a nice collection of greens and neutrals.

and of course, Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette-Beethoven

This is a Sephora exclusive as you could see in the picture above.

This is a nice collection of purples and blues.

 Kat Von D also has limited edition palettes but there is a downside though, 

so I decided to play safe with this palette.

I also got this from carefreeshopper and but was for pre-order. 

I had to wait for a while but I know it will be so worth it! ^_^ 

I will be getting my hands on these two this Tuesday! I'm so excited ;) And not to mention, carefreeshopper has got a new batch of Nyx round lipsticks! Oooh, I'm getting addicted to Nyx! I just love their lippies!

Well till here..

Will be doing a swatch of this soon

Cheerio! ^_^ 

Nyx Runway Collection in Romance

This is my is my first review of one of the products I have.


So here goes!

Let me introduce you to Nyx Runway Collection in Romance. Sad to day, before I purchased this palette, there is not much review about this product, and I took the risk of buying it and I sure got lucky! I super love this!!


NYX products are not sold locally and must be purchased online thru online sellers, but I got mine from an online seller who's based in my hometown! Isnt that great? I saved on shipping! Yippeee! 

It is a 10-color eye shadow palette in hues of bronzes and browns. The top part shades have somewhat kind of slighty chunky glitters which I don't mind at all. The rest are shimmery. ^_^ 

They are quite pigmented and stay all day on my eyelids!!  
Sorry for the not so good pics, Im using my mobile to take the pics.. But in person, the colors are pretty ^_^ 

 quite obvious which shades i use the most 

 Swatch time!!

 w/o flash

Swatch of with the bottom shades: L-R - mostly copper and bronze family with the last e/s shade light yellow to gold and is my fave from the group. This my highlighter ^_^ and to be fair, its one of the nicest highlighter for the browbone I have seen. 

Swatch of the Top Shades: L-R: Cant say which family this belongs to but it includes: white (chalky, most useless!), medium brown, pink (my fave!), dark brown-black and lightest brown.

Kinda hard to know the exact name of the shades as they don't have any labels at the back. Would have been nice if they did.

Well, I have been using them for the past few days. Texture and colour payoff wise, I would say the quality is quite impressive. Their frost or satin textures are great. They aren't glittery, or chunky, uhm except for one colour that is a little too powdery. But overall, the texture is easy to work with in terms of application and blending.  

Basically, its just your usually neutral eyeshadow palette. And this palette is very much suited to warm or olive tones ^_^


Likes:
 -pigmented
 -cheap (PhP 470 )
 -great quality

Dislikes:
 - not available locally
 -brushes that come with it are so-so


Overall, this is a great catch with 10 eyeshadows complimenting each other. Just don;t expect that this is as good as MAC and other high end products though. But for its price, its defnitely a steal!!! The colors stay true to shade!

Hope you find this helpful ^_^

Cheerio!!
