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

Swatched without primer - check the lack of pigmentation :(

Next up, NYX Taupe Blush and Benefit Hoola matte bronzer

  2. 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

  4. 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

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

  10. 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

  11. The NYX blushers and lipsticks look so nice! X

  12. 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
