As promised, I have swatched the NYX Eyeshadow Singles that I received in the mail on Friday - now I definitely have a lot of colors to choose from! I have to admit, the texture, pigmentation, and staying power of these shadows are in a league of their own, especially for the price! I would put these up against any high end eyeshadows.

On Friday I came home to the NYX order I placed during their sale the other day. I ordered both the lipsticks and the eyeshadow lots, so I will be posting the shadows next.
These lipsticks are so rich and creamy! I very excited to have some colors that I normally wouldn't pick up - lots of pinks and reds, which I have very little of in my collection.
Each row is pictured individually and swatched below.
I got all my lipsticks and the eyeshadows from the NYX lot sale! Pictures coming soon....
You know when you look through your makeup and "re"discover something you haven't used in a while? Well that happened to me the other day when I came across Nars Earth Angel eyeshadow duo. I received this a few years ago as a gift for my birthday and used it religiously, and then it fell to the bottom of my collection, only to be lost for years!
I decided I needed a neutral look, so I used these eyeshadows, along with MAC's Vanilla pigment.
