NYX Single Eye Shadow in Copper : Review , Swatch, Price, EOTD

Hi Everyone,

Seriously what is wrong with Delhi's weather? Sometimes it is hot and the next day it is raining :(

Anyway I am falling short of my reviews in comparison to the number of products I have :P

Till date I have not reviewed a mono eye shadow in my blog. So today I have brought to you an Eye Shadow from the international brand NYX - the NYX Single Eye Shadow in Copper shade.


NYX is said to have some of the world's best products and that too in a super affordable prices. Till some time ago it was not available in India, But thanks to Sephora and also some online portals, we can now buy NYX in India too *super grin*



Price

It is priced at INR 375, but I got it for INR 300. You can buy it HERE


My Experience

I got this eyeshadow when there was this GOSF sale going on. And I am proud that I have made no mistake by purchasing the product. I am super thankful to myself :D

Actually I was super drawn by the magnificent super rich copper color and I just wanted it anyhow. The stocks were limited and I just had to buy it.

It is a bright copper color which is highly pigmented and has shimmer in it. One can easily wear it to work too and also wear it to parties. The best part is it can be worn in a nude makeup combination too if blended properly and used it right quantity.



The eye shadow stays on my eye lids for a good 9 hours without a primer :D So just imagine with a primer what wonders will it make.

The packaging is also very handy and easily can be put into your bag for long or short travels.


Wish it had a brush to it. But I can live with that! :)

Maybelline New York Diamond Glow Eye Shadow -Gray Pink : Review

Hi everyone!

Every girl wants to look good always but in a pocket friendly way. We all want to have products which make us look good, does its work and yet which is budget friendly.

Today I have one such Budget eyeshadow from the Maybelline New York kitty. It is an eye shadow quad which means you pay for one and get four at a time Superrr!!

It is the Maybelline New York Diamond Glow Eye Shadow in Gray Pink.



Every Girl wants to highlight their eyes and wants to look gorgeous. This eye shadow has four shadows. One for highlighting, one to use on the crease, one on the lid and the other at the corners and lash line. It is a complete package towards a great eye do-up.

The Price of the eye shadow quad is INR 475.

It comes in four shades as you can see- starting from left to right - a silver white shiny shade, sparkly pink, shimmery grayish silver and sparky shimmery black.



If you notice, you can see all the shades are full of shimmer and is chalky. There is a lot of fall offs when I try applying it.

The white silver is for highlighting brow bones, inner corners, pink is for the eye lid, the gray is for the crease and the black can be used on the lash lines and outer corners. It has well specified at the back of the pack.



The pay off the shadow is decent with a wear time of 3-4 hrs maximum. After that it starts to fade. Try Use a primer base, it might then stay a bit longer I hope. Well, at this price I think it is good to go. But I wish Maybelline had given a thought on the pigmentation more.



It is not highly pigmented nor it is under pigmented. It is just Ok.

Also, I feel this particular quad is not great for dusky beauties. It has all shimmers and sparkles. This might suit the fair skin beauties.

Also, I am not happy with the brush that comes along. It is not a professional brush at all. Every time I try using it it seems the sponge will come out. :(
