NYX Series - Butt Naked Palette - Swatches and Review

Hi Guys!

I thought I'd start off with a NYX series of posts, first one being on their Butt "Naked" Eyes Palette!

 Im absolutely obsessed with neutral eyeshadows, and I actually bought this palette before I got my UD Naked palette.
I love this one because:

•  it has more matte shades that the UD Naked
• it comes with 15 shades of eyeshadow, 4 blush colours and 2 highlighter shades all in one 
• it is way more affordable than the UD Naked ( I bought mine on cherryculture.com on sale for like $20 us I believe)

 Most of the shades in this palette are really amazing quality, but there are a few duds which are either very chalky or have no pigmentation at all. Of course you could apply these shades wet (foiling) for optimal colour payoff.

 

 My favourite shades from this palette are -
1) The pink colour in the second column and second row
2) The purple-brown next to it ( somewhat similar to Mac's Satin Taupe)
3) The cool-toned brown in the bottom left hand corner
4) The chocolate brown in the bottom row, second from the right
5) The shimmery dark purple on the bottom right hand corner

All of these shades are the most pigmented from the lot and are the easiest to blend. They are my personal picks from the palette.

The 4 blush colours are quite impressive as well, but they are a bit chalky.
 The first shimmery coral colour to the left of the palette reminds me of Nars Orgasm or Super Orgasm.

The bronzer colour is matte (which is always a good thing in my opinion), but it is quite orange toned - so ladies use a light hand when using this!
The two highlighters - one is a more white/gold shade, and the other is a more pinky rose gold colour - these are also quite chalky as well!

SWATCHES: :

Row 1 - Left  - Right

Row 1 - Left - Right

Row 2 - Left to Right

Row 3 - Left - Right

L-R - Bronzer, 2 highlighters

Blush L-R

Packaging - 4/5
Product - 3.5/5
This palette is a good alternative to the more expensive neutral eyeshadow palettes because it has great diversity.
However, with all cheaper alternatives they are not as amazing as the quality you would get with a more high-end product.

All in all, I still think this product is worth the money and worth the buy!

Hope you found this helpful!

Nail Of The Day - 01/01/13

Hey Everyone,

I just thought I'd do a quick post of my nails, on the first day of 2013!

This nail polish is by Revlon and it's #430 " Whimsical "
It's a mint green with loads of shimmers in it - pink & blue
I used 3 coats to build it up, but I think it would also look great layered over another colour!

Of course this post wouldn't be complete without an instagram picture!
