Hey lovlies! Ok, I was really excited a few days ago when I found out that NYX Cosmetics came out with some new palettes! I've seen all the swatches, and I must say, they're super pigmented! There are a total of three collections out - the Runway Collection, Caribbean and the For Your Eyes Only palettes. The palletes are said to be a combination of satin, matte, frost and shimmer colors - which is good because we all love variety of course! NYX has also stepped up their game and improved their packaging as you can see in the picture below.

So, let's start with the For Your Eyes Only Collection! So I was watching a video and it was said that NYX teamed up with makeup artists to custom pick colors that would make certain eye colors stand out.


Next, we have the Caribbean collection. There are ten palettes in this collection.


Lastly, we have the Runway collection. These are my favorite out of the bunch.


Right now as we speak these are flying off the shelves, so do try to get them while they're still in stock. So hurry, they're going fast! Shopping wise, the NYX Cosmetics site sells these palettes for $9USD, while other places like Cherry Culture and BeautyShopOC sells them from $8-8.25USD. The cheapest price for these palettes I've seen so far is $6.75-7.99USD on EBay.

I'm definitely going to purchase these soon and do swatches and reviews! They look really promising! To view more swatches, please head on to Makeup By MommaGee(she's awesome!). I'm definitely going to feature one of these palettes in my giveaway - so stay tuned! I hope everyone has a great week!

Oh and Lane, I know how much you like NYX, so I have a surprise for you when your birthday comes around! You too Hanna! ♥ (;

So, in an earlier post, I talked about getting a package that I would be doing a review later on. To start off, I have to admit that I'm not the type of person that does anything with my nails at all. I'm very low-maintence when it comes to nails - I like everything to be short and plain. So this is a major change from what I usually do with my own nails. So, I thought it was really awesome of Janet to offer me some samples to test out.

She was really nice to send me six different styles from this collection. She included 3 natural style nails and 3 dramatic style nails. Of course, I was more for the natural type nails. All of the nails were mid-length, which I think is a nice length for everyone. Anything longer than that would look too fake in my opinion. I was an idiot and wore this for a week and I forgot to take a picture of my nails, I realized this when I was taking these nails off, but here's a picture showing how natural it looks.

On my pinky, I am wearing #91097 Stella, which is similar to the third nail in the first picture above, but instead of black, its a light gray color so you can't see it in the picture. Now the glue that's provided with the nails, works really well. It dried literally in seconds and my word of advice, don't put so much - it'll get messy. If you get glue around your finger, it'll take a bit of patience to get it all off. I kind of underestimated the glue a bit so I had to deal with the consequence so to speak. The nails are of pretty good quality - it wasn't flimsy at all and sturdy. Usually, when it comes to nails like these, they never fit me since they're always so big in size. But it wasn't hard to find a nail that fit because there were so many sizes to choose from. These nails are very comfortable and feel like your own. Also, I had a problem with them alying flat on my nails. I pressed firmly and they still popped up a little and I had some bubbles and air pockets.

Now I'm quickly going to talk about their nail designs. The designs are very natural and aren't over the top. Even the more dramatic nails are still very subtle which is great for girls like me who are not into things that are too over-the-top. Plus for $8USD, you really can't go wrong with these. Would I recommend this product? Definitely. Would I buy personally buy it? No. Because I usually don't like doing anything with my nails.

PROS: Natural, Nice length, Great Designs, Affordable
CONS; Messy application (if you're clumsy like me), Takes a little long to remove

MY RATING: 3.5/5

Thanks Janet again for giving me this opportunity to try these out. And since she gave me a lot, I'll be giving some of these away in my future giveaway. So stay tuned!

Hey everyone, I'm still sick (my throat is killing me), but everything else seems to be getting better. I'm just coughing like an ugly cow. But I was looking up Japanese cosmetics yesterday and I came across this. I know I'm slow, but what the hell right? (: So I hear that Lavshuca's been coming out with boring collections lately, and to me, this collection is far from being boring. The packaging is beautiful and the colors are really nice.

Give it to Shiseido for wearable fall looks that aren't too dramatic for the weary. This collection gives sutble elegant colores and a sleek look that Maquillage always seem to pull off effortlessly. This collection was released since July I believe, but these images are really nice, so I figured I should post them up.
