NYX Eyeshadows

Have you been curious about NYX's new product that has been spotted around in stores? I sure have! I picked up a few items not too long ago. I already owned a few of the trio palettes, but these new, cute, little quilted print shadows in their sleek black pots were calling my name.

In true Kia fashion, I picked up these little minis. Adorable and great colors for the collection!

Pictured below (l-r) Gypsy, Fahrenheit, and Lime Juice.

Of course I liked these colors because they already existed in my collection! I swatched some colors that I felt the shadows were complete dupes of:

(top) Gypsy, (bottom) my fav Twinks by MAC

(top) Lime Juice, (bottom) Bitter by MAC (I think Eyepopping from the C Shock collection would have been a better match, but I didn't buy that because I already had Bitter! lol)

(top)Fahrenheit, (bottom) Expensive Pink by MAC

I know the flash washed out the swatch but you can see that they are close. Expensive Pink has a bit more gold.

These shadows are velvety with a bit more fall out or maybe I should call it "color pick up" lol, a good buy nonetheless, especially because of the color payoff. If you don't have the MAC colors, definitely pick up the NYX. Each one has a $3.99 price tag.

And from yours truly.. an fotd (umm not using the NYX colors) =)
p.s. don't mind the date stamp! lol
