NYX SUEDE EYESHADOW PALETTE REVIEW

I received this palette yesterday in my Nordstrom order. Wasn't that expensive so I added it to the order. So it has 1.7g x 8 shades. They're all shimmery/glittery. I suppose it's called the Suede palette because they're the typical colours for suede stuff - thats what I though anyways.



The packaging; the palette is around a similar thickness to Stila In The Garden. It's also a smooth cardboard packaging. The front window is just the thick plastic so it is a little flimsy but it works. The lid is just held down by a magnet.


These eyeshadows swatched really well but they definitely require a primer for the lid because they're come out fairly light otherwise and you'll have a hard time packing them on. I love golds, mossy greens etc so I think thats why I got this. Could do multiple looks with this palette alone, because it has a light cream tone as well as darker tones and in medium tones.

For the cost, it's worth giving it a try. I'm palette-crazy so thats why I bought it. Where can you buy this? I bought mine from Nordstrom (online). Australia has an online store called Crush Cosmetics, however, they do not stock all NYX products and didn't have this palette when I was looking for it. But for other NYX products, definitely get them through Crush Cosmetics. ta! K

LORAC PRO PALETTE 2 REVIEW

So excited to use this, got it today in my Nordstrom order. $42 aud.
The packaging and style is the same as the first palette. Total palette weight is 8.8g of eyeshadow, and there's 18 of them. All the eyeshadows are different to the first palette, especially that matte Navy colour. Very much the same texture and pigmentation as the first palette.
So the matte swatches on the left and the shimmery ones on the right. Some of the eyeshadows are the same as my skin tone basically so you can't really see them (buff & beige).

Gorgeous palette, definitely worth it. Also it comes with the mini Behind the Scenes Eye Primer - it's also amazing!

Nordstrom is definitely the cheapest place to get this palette if you're in Australia.
