NYX Natural Palette

A palette so great, I had to swatch it. 

I've always been a fan of NYX products, especially their eyeshadow palettes. They always come in nice packagings, wide variety of shades and not to mention, it works just as good as the expensive shadows in the market today for a way cheaper price. 

                

The NYX Natural palette comes with 6 shades: 2 highlighters, 2 base colors and 2 crease colors, all the shades you'll basically need for an everyday look in one, hence, the Natural palette!

                

HITS: 

• all colors, inluding the highlighters are very pigmented, as usual!

• comes in a nice solid and compact packaging which is perfect for travelling

• all colors applies smoothly, especially after using an eyelid primer.

• it's a steal at 450php from Digital Traincase.

MISSES:

• the lighter shades are a bit chalky.

REVIEW: ELF 100-piece Palette ('12 Spring Collection)

I've been practicing eye make up recently, but all I have in my mini collection are eye-shadow duos. So I looked up cheap but good quality eye-shadow palettes and this one always comes up. I agree with what most reviewers said. It is indeed a great palette for starters. PRICE: Php. 899.00

HITS:

• every color you'll need is in this palette.
• the white and cream tones on the left side are great for highlighting.
• the colors are arranged properly. The colors belonging in the same shades are lined up in the same row.
• the white container makes it look expensive.
• unlike other palettes, this one comes with a mirror (located behind the ELF logo).

MISSES:

• the lighter colors are a bit chalky.
• you might need a primer to make some colors show up.
• most colors are not blend-able.
• the white container indeed looks nice, but it's not sturdy, like it could break almost instantly once it's accidentally dropped.

Below are the swatches for some of the darker tones.

Wanted to know if blue suits me. What do you think?

I've been practicing eye make up recently but the ones I took before just didn't register well in pictures, plus they're not blog-worthy. But this one is (I think).
