Hiya :)

Lots of things arrived for me this week so I thought I'd have a good old swatch session again for you :D

First up, e.l.f. Studio Eye Shadows in Pebble and Raspberry Truffle, and e.l.f. Duo Eye Shadow Cream in Butter Pecan


All swatched without primer

Next up, it's e.l.f.'s Autumn polishes :D
L-R: Red Velvet, Rosy Raisin, Purple Pleaser, Cranberry

L-R: Cranberry, Purple Pleaser, Rosy Raisin, Red Velvet


Next up we've got NYX Rouge Cream Blushes

I caved and bought 2 more NYX Round Lipsticks - bit disappointed but I'm sure I'll find a way to make them work for me. Or maybe I just need to embrace brighter colours...

NYX Sweet Oleander Eye Shadow

NYX Nude on Nude Palette

Shadows

Swatched without primer - check the lack of pigmentation :(

Lip Colours

Next up, NYX Taupe Blush and Benefit Hoola matte bronzer

Avon Tiger's Eye Quad

That's it for Swatch Sunday! There are some reviews, NOTDs and FOTDs coming up soon featuring these items so stay tuned :)

    oooh I like the look of ELF's purple pleaser nail polish. It's a shame the nyx palette hasn't got much pigmentation, I have the smokey look one which I love as it has great pigmentation :) xxx

    Hannahh - I've used it once and the pigmentation isn't brilliant and the shadows seem to fade when blending. I'll try it again with a primer and I'll do a review for you :) xx

    Katy - It's pretty :) I nearly got the smokey one, wish I had now! xx

    Thanks for the swatches, your right about the red velvet not being that snazzy. :)

    That's quite alright :) Yeah it's nothing special but nice to have in your collection. I think it looks the same as No 7's Salsa so this is a great cheap dupe for it :) xx

    The NYX blushers and lipsticks look so nice! X

    The blushers are lovely - not half as scary as they might seem in the pan! The lippies are quite nice too although I think Rose is a bit bright. I think I just need to embrace the brightness! xx
