A few days back, I updated my Gosh Army population, and today it’s NYX’s turn. I don’t mean to brag about this, this is more for my personal reference of what I already have – in case I’m tempted to order some more, and for your reference if you need any swatches

These eyeshadows are from one of the bulk sales NYX did on their website. As shipping to Canada would cost $60 (I checked), I asked a friend in the US helped and he gave them to my sis when he went home for vacation. I just got them back from her. Mom and sis picked out a few that they liked, 4 broke on the way here (*sad face*), so this is what I have left.

The neutral/ highlight group:

First row, from L-R: Skin, Shimmer, Peach, Jazzy Bronze and 24 Karet (exactly what it said on the label).

Second row: Toffee, Cedar Wood, Walnut Bronze, Slate, Beanie and Egg White.

I didn’t use flash, but the light in my room wasn’t the perfect natural light, so the colours appeared a bit differently.

The blue/ purple/ green group:

First row, from L-R: October Sky, Navy, Red Bean and Ballerina.

Second row: Algae, Jade, Marrakesh, Aqua Marine and Sweet Lagoon.

It’s interesting that green seemed to be the dominant colour in the whole bunch.

The last group:

Olive Green, Khaki on the top.

Alaska, Earthy at the bottom.

I could probably put the first 2 in the green group, but somehow I didn’t. The last 2 are for smoky effect or crease colours, don’t fit to any group.

The trios:

From the left, clockwise:

First trio: Princess Pink/ Flamenco/ Violet
Second: Velvet Blue/ Ocean Frost/ Space
Third: White/ Tropical/ Silver.

I am so glad that NYX now have 5-colour palettes (Caribbean Collection) and 10-colour palettes (Runway & For Your Eyes Collection), and kits to satisfy makeup lovers. I so hope they would do a big sale on these or the nail polishes

What’s your experience with NYX eyeshadows? Do you like them?
