NYX HD Eye Shadow Base Review
NYX HD Eye Shadow Base is an eyeshadow primer that is supposed to make eyeshadows look more vibrant and last longer. It also claims to make eyelids look “smoother, more even toned.”
March 2014 Glossybox
This month’s box looks like it’s going to have a lot of things that appeal to me – fragrance, jewelry, a luxurious face mask, a volumizing hair product, and a lip exfoliator. Let’s take a closer look.

Rockateur is one of Benefit’s newer Box o’ Powders. It is described as a rose gold shade that will give you a “provocative flush” and is supposed to have a “specialized formula” that will deliver 1.6 times the color payoff.
Almay Shadow Softies Review and Swatchfest
Here is a general overview and swatches of all 12 shades of the Almay Shadow Softies. Overall, these are fairly sheer but they apply evenly and are easy to blend out. The shimmer shades look great on their own and all the shades work well as eyeshadow bases.
NYX Adorable Eyeshadow Palette Review and Swatches
NYX Adorable Eyeshadow Palette is an inexpensive, mostly-neutral eyeshadow palette containing six eyeshadows. 4 of them are matte and 2 have glitter. What makes this one different than other neutral palettes is the inclusion of a baby pink eyeshadow. In general the shadows are sheer but do have plenty of color payoff when used with a primer.
EOTD – NYX Adorable Eyeshadow Palette
Here is a soft baby pink and light brown eyeshadow look created using the NYX Adorable Eyeshadow palette that recently came out. It’s almost like an everyday eye look except it’s a bit pinker on the upper lid and a little sparkly along the lower lash line. I think “Adorable” is a perfect name for this collection of colors.
EOTD – Pink & Purple Eyeshadow Look
Today, I felt like doing something with pink and purple since spring is almost here. This look is more involved than most of the looks I usually do so I tried to break it up into three main parts to make it easier to follow. I used a variety of products but you can recreate this with any similar colors you might have on hand. You need a set of neutral eyeshadows, a bright pink eyeshadow, purple and silver eyeliners, and a black liquid liner to recreate this look.
NYX Fireball Butter Lipstick Review and Swatch
Fireball is a very vibrant coral that can almost look red if applied heavily. It has a very soft balm-like sheen and has no glitter or shimmer in it. NYX Butter Lipstick comes in 22 shades and is supposed to offer intense color payoff while feeling lightweight and comfortable. These cost about $6.00 for 0.16 oz. / 4.5 g and can be found at Ulta and nyxcosmetics.com.
EOTD – Easy to Wear Green Eyeshadow Look
In the spirit of celebrating St. Patricks day, I created a simple, easy to wear look that anyone can recreate. I used the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette and the Pop Beauty Bright Up Your Life palette. In essence, you only need a few neutrals, a grass green, and a pale gold to do this look.
