In a previous post I showed one of my newer purchases, the Caviar & Bubbles (AKA Champagne & Caviar) palette from Nyx, so I've been playing around with it in the past couple of weeks and here's what I think of it!
The Palette
Packaging: In a sturdy compact palette with a large mirror, perfect for traveling.
Colours: 5 matte & 5 shimmery neutral eyeshadows which mostly leans towards a cool tone. Most of the light shimmery colours are very similar to each other in the swatches/ pan but come out different on the eyes.
Pigmentation: Fairly pigmented with one swipe but I'd still recommend a base to make the most of the colours. The matte colours can come off a little bit chalky & not as pigmented so a base would prevent that.
Swatches done without base & one swipe |
Price: $10 from Cherry Culture but prices depend on where you're buying from.
FOTD
Face | Rimmel Wake Me Up & Stay Matte powder, Nars Laguna & MAC Lightscapade, Nyx Angel blush
Eyes | Nyx Caviar & Bubbles palette: Lid: 1 Crease: 2 Blending: 3 Outer V/ Slightly under eyes: 4 Highlight: 5
Sleek Gel liner, Nyx Wonder Pencil, Maybelline One by One mascara
Lips | Sleek Pout Paints in Pinkini & Peachykeen
Overall I really like this palette, but I'm uhmming & ahhing over whether I really need any more neutral colours that I can easily get from my Naked 2 & Day & Night palette, but for the price the quality is pretty good, so I would definitely recommend this.
Have you tried any of the Runway palettes from Nyx before?

This is a nice palette and the lippie looks gorgeous on you! I love how bright it is. I think I have almost if not all of the NYX runway palettes. Hoard them like crazy when I first started with makeup, lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I knew I needed to go bright with such a neutral eye! Ahh cool haha x
DeleteI have the same palette! Its so great for travelling. I remember taking only this while planning to go to another city for my friends wedding! The eye makeup is beautiful and kinda off topic but you have great eyebrows.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of bringing it traveling because it would be so handy, but not sure now because I'm bringing my naked 2 palette and they are sort of similar. Thank you, I was having a good eyebrow day hehe x
DeleteI really do like your lip color
