NYX Swatches: Single eyeshadows and Strawberry Milk Jumbo Eye Pencils

You may have spotted these shadows in my MAC Franken Palette. I actually picked these up in the UK at the same outlet shop I got my Angel blush in. From memory they cost about £4 which is more than they do in the US but I suppose I didn’t have to pay shipping. Here we have White Frost (er it’s white and frosty shock horror, Flamingo (shimmery peach which makes quite a nice blush actually) and Tropical (dirty pinkish beige).

All three are soft, pigmented and very easy to work with. These are swatched without a base. I use all my shadows with a primer and I’ve never suffered any fading or creasing. The quality of NYX shadows always impresses me. I need more I tell you! (Left to right White Frost, Flamingo, Tropical)

Just for kicks I’ll throw in a swatch of Strawberry Milk. I can’t for the life of me remember what this cost. The Jumbo Eye pencils make fantastic bases. I personally love using this under Barry M Pink/ Gold dazzle dust. It grabs the loose eyeshadow and sticks it to your lid like glue. The shimmery pink really intensifies any pink shadows you use over it and the creamy formula doesn’t tug on my lid. Love it! Just use a primer under them and a thin layer to prevent creasing.
