NYX Makeup Artist Kit

So a few months back I won a giveaway from one of my favorite YouTube beauty guru, K.L. You guys might know her better as her channel name, Secretlifeofabionerd (I will link her channel at the end of this post). She was having a mass giveaway and I was lucky enough to be one of the giveaway winners :) Keep in mind that everything in this post are my personal opinions.

This retail for $30.00 on the NYX website (link at the end)

The packaging of it is pretty nice 

Dimension: 7.25"W x 7.25"H x 1.5"D

(Pretty good size for a two layer palette) 

Layer one of the palette 

36 Colors

The eye shadow colors are divided 50/50 with earthy & warm colors and bright & pop colors. Only one of the eye shadow in this entire palette is matte matte, a few looks matte when apply on your lids. The 36 eye shadow colors in this  palette is pretty amazing, but the quality of these shadows are not the greatest. Almost all of the shadows in this palette has insane fall outs! 

For someone like me that has sensitive eyes, this is not a palette for me. I would say 1/3 of the shadows apply nicely, but the rest are either too sheer or too chalky. Overall, the shadows are okay, but the fall outs are just way too much.

Here are some swatches of the shadows:

From left to right:
5 lip colors, 4 blushes, 2 bronzers, 1 contour/highlight 

*I threw away the applicators*

Compared to the eye shadows, the blushes, bronzers, and lippies was MUCH better! I love the blushes in this palette, all of the blushes are super pretty, pigmented, and easy to blend. My favorite one is the light pink, it gives a soft innocent glow when you apply it to the apples of your cheek. Since the palette included 2 shades of bronzers it was really easy to work with. The mini lip pans are awesome they are super pigmented and moisturizing.

SCORE: 3.5 out of 5 stars

FINAL VERDICT: Overall, the palette has a great variety of colors and it is basically all in one kind of a deal. All you need is a foundation, eyeliner, and mascara and you're all set! Even though the palette have great variations in color and usage, the eye shadows are not the greatest. Would I recommend this palette? Not really, for $30.00 It is not worth the money to purchase this palette when there are plenty more better products out there. Even though this product was kind of a miss for me, I really do enjoy the blushes, bronzers, and the lippies a lot!
