NYX Eye Shadow The Carribean Collection : I Dream of Antigua

Hi fren 
Hope your life still lovely as usual, if not; I hope it will be wonderful soon.
Okay this time I would like to make a review of NYX Eyeshadow. Mine is The Carribean Collection ESP5C04 I Dream of Antigua. Hmmm, where the heck Antigua is ?
Lovely Blue of Antigua
So, Antigua (Waladli or Wadadli in native way) is an island of Antigua and Barbuda territory. An island which is famous for its white sand sunny beach in Caribbean area. Antigua and Barbuda itself is a country which under Constitutional Monarchy of England.  

And what are you hoping for a 'Caribbean Collection' eyeshadow ? Yupss, colorfull and bright colors, oceanic color. NYX claims this series as the collection of the popular.
The combination of popular colors we have in one palette, inspired from pretty and dominantly warm colors.
Free Translation from: NYX Indonesia 

Packaging 
The box and the eyeshadow case itself share same form. They have black with a lonely coconut tree. I know they want to give the Caribbean impression, but somehow that coconut tree is not cute, or elegant at all. It will be better if they get rid the lonely coconut. The packaging will be chic without it. The case comes with sturdy body, with large mirror and two applicators.


Color

The Caribbean Series has 7 numbers begin with I dream .... (several places in Caribbean area). Each of palette has 5 different colors. Mine is ESP5C04, it comes with 4 matte and 1 glitter.

Start with left side :
1. White Ivory : matte
2. Light Sky Blue : matte
3. Silver : matte
4. Grey : matte
5. Grey : glitter
This is my swatch without eye primer and without eye primer. I used Aubeau Eye Make Up Base :
The color is pigmented even without primer, but this color is not wearable in daily look. Will give you superb look, but very perfect for creating grey smokey eyes.


Texture and Staying Power
Sadly, this collection is easy to fallen and hit under your eyes. Ckckckck ... Once you pinch it, it will go like dandellion blown by wind. Fly away ... And the staying power is tralala. Like usual, so so. 
Just a newbie in applying Eyeshadow. Pardon me please.

For me this eyeshadow :

(+) Affordable, yet little expensive for some. Rp. 200.000,- (about $ 20)
(+) Pigmented
(+) Comes is colors variation
(+) Sturdy case with big mirror
(+) Gorgeous for party look

(-) Extravagant for daily look. 
(-) Fallen easily
(-) So so staying power

Will I buy it ? May be, considering 02 or 10

Oke here are my looks using this eyeshadow. Actually, I am a newbie in makeup, so do eyeshadow. 

Hahaha, drawing different  brows' shape 
This product will be different according to your terms and conditions.
Thanks
