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

NYX Powder Blush Espresso and Mauve

Hi frens.
How do feel while reading this post ?
The weather in the first month in January is very strange. Sometime is's rain and next day will be rain heavy.
The wind is very strong here. The flood is hitting some area in Indonesia, the height can reach the waist of adult. Hope the GOD will protect them there.

        Okay, Today I want to review two Blush On. I got them as Christmas Giveaway from Ce Josephine of Lalaluna Nail Parlour Blog. They are NYX Blush on. NYX is a well-known brand from USA. Here in Indonesia you can buy it in several counter in big cities. But yet, there is no counter in my city. Damn, I hate it ...

Good point of NYX is the affordable price and good quality. 

Packaging : 

The packaging quite cute and simple, since it comes in single. The material is from plastic with transparent on the cap. There is no brush come with it. For someone it's not that important. Yeah, in certain brand somehow the brush in unusable, small, hard, and brittle. But, it's quite important for someone who need the simplicity or travel without have to bring out the big brush. Just opinion.

They are in Mauve and Espresso

Texture : 

The texture is matte, good, and not powdery. And it's easy to apply and pigmented. It's said that this Brush last for hours. And I found it will fade away after 2 hours in my oily face. So sad ...

Color : 

Espresso comes with light choco color, and a little bit shimmer. But you can forgive it. You can get the glamour look. Mauve comes in sheer color, a little bit pinkish for me.

The left is Espresso and the right is Mauve

For me these products are :
(+) come in sheer and beautiful color
(+) pigmented
(+) not powdery
(+) really affordable about 5 USD

(-) bulky and uninteresting packaging
(-) so so staying powder

Will I repurchased ? : No sure. It's difficult to find in my hometown. If I want to buy it, I'm sure for trying other colors.
