NYX FULL THROTTLE LIPSTICKS REVIEW AND SWATCHES



 

Hey Everyone,

Today I am going to talk about my recent buy NYX FULL THROTTLE LIPSTICKS. I was never a big fan of Nyx Cosmetics and that’s why I never bought many things from this brand. But recently when I spotted one of my friend wearing NYX FULL THROTTLE LIPSTICK I was so tempted seeing the finish and color of the lipstick that I immediately ordered two shade from this range.

Price:- Rs.600/-
Availability:- Nyx stores, Nykaa stores, and online store.

Packaging:-

 
The lipstick comes in a sleek black kind of packaging. The bottom of the lipstick had the same color matching to the inside shade of the lipstick case for which it is easy to pick the color from the stash. The bullet of the lipstick is slim and slanting for which it is very easy to apply the color on thin lips.

My experience:-

The lipsticks are matte in texture. They glide smoothly on lips without any tugging or pulling of lips. The pigmentation of the lipsticks is really awesome. One or two swipe is enough to get opaque coverage. The lipsticks are so good in pigmentation that they are capable to hide lip pigmentation too. The lipstick is bit transferable after few minutes of the application.But slowly it turns totally matte on lips giving a velvety finish look. The lipstick stays pretty 7 hours on my lips with slight fading if I have some drinks or oily food but still the lipstick stain my lips so well that I can carry it 1-2 hours more after a bit fading too. These lipsticks are perfect matte lipsticks for matte lipstick lover. But for dry lips beauties, these might turn a little bit dry after few hours of application, so removing the flaky layer of the lipsticks and reapplication of it is highly recommended.

Overall, in short, these are my favorite line of matte lipsticks and I am going to try out few more shades from this range soon.











That’s all for today. Until next time…
Love Sammy :*

REVIEW & SWATCHES OF URBAN DECAY ELECTRIC PALETTE :-



"Bright shades describe me and it actually defines my mood always...
I love neutrals only when I want to play safe but I love brights when I am experimental on my own way..."

You must be wondering what I am saying today. Actually, today's post is all about URBAN DECAY ELECTRIC PALETTE. The palette that has 10 beautiful bright shades, the palette that finally completes my initial collection (as urban decay have huge eyeshadow range) is the talk of the post today.


Price:-  Rs.3790/- (I brought it by a gift coupon and royalty discount for which I had to pay 3275/- for my palette, no customs).

Availability :- Strawberrynet.com

A little info about the URBAN DECAY ELECTRIC PALETTE:-



It is an Electric Pressed Pigment Palette: 10x Pressed Pigment, 1x Double Ended Pressed Pigment Brush.

Product details :-



  •     Electric Pressed Pigment Palette:
  •     10x Pressed Pigment (Chaos, Freak, Fringe, Gonzo, Jilted, Revolt, Savage, Slowburn, Thrash, Urban) 1.2g/0.04oz
  •     1x Double Ended Pressed Pigment Brush
  •     Contains ten of the brightest, most amazing eyeshadows
  •     Ranges from ultra-smooth mattes to highly dimensional shimmers
  •     Developed with patented Pigment Infusion SystemTM for velvety texture
  •     Delivers serious color payout, superior staying power & bendability
  •     Housed in a slim, sleek palette with a huge mirror


My experience:-


Urban decay is one of the leading brands that makes some perfect eyeshadows always. The eyeshadows are at their best quality. After grabbing URBAN DECAY NK 1, 2, 3 palettes, URBAN DECAY ELECTRIC PALETTE, was on my list long back. So when I receive a gift coupon from Strawberrynet for which my palette was in discount I just blindly grab this palette to complete my collection of URBAN DECAY EYESHADOW PALETTE (I know another palette is already launching and that too I might grab in near future if only I want some neutral best matte eyeshadows).

 The palette comes in a beautiful sturdy colorful packaging. Both the outer box and the palette have similar colorful outlook. The palette is pretty sturdy and little heavy, which makes the eyeshadow really safe.

The palette has the magnetic closure for which it is travel-friendly too. It comes with a dual ended brush and with a huge mirror which is enough for applying the eyeshadow or for any touch ups. As the palette is colorful and so are the bristles of the brush too that comes with this palette( which are purple in color instead of usual black or white or shaded one). The brush is a dual ended pressed pigment brush, as I told you earlier. It's one side is perfect for applying and blending eyeshadows over lids while the other side is good for precise application.

Coming to the shades, SLOWBURN, JILTED, SAVAGE & URBAN are not meant for sensitive part of eye area like tear duct one. Rest all can be applied on waterline. I used the above mention shadows for my lower lashline avoiding tear duct area and they are quite ok. But still I would not recommend you all to try those shades on waterline.

The palette consists of 10 beautiful brights shades that are perfect for creating any bright look. The shades are super pigmented. And there are no fallouts in any shades. The shades work at its best if they are applied by dabbing the shadows over the lid with a semi wet brush.
The eyeshadows without any primer stay 6 hours on my oily lids without any creasing. After 6 hours , I saw a slight creasing on my crease area which can be avoided with a proper primer over the lid.


The brush that comes with the palette is pretty helpful one and in fact, one can create any look using that brush only. The sky blue, the orange, the lime shades are light shades in the palette but still they are super pigmented which are just beyond my expectation.

Over in all my thoughts regarding this URBAN DECAY, ELECTRIC PALETTE is " when it is URBAN DECAY eyeshadow palette, you don't need any recommendation to try it". I am very happy with my purchase and do recommend everyone to grab this palette if you are a bright eyeshadow lover like me ;) .

Strawberrynet.com sometimes come up with 10% discount, so keep your eye on that site so that you can grab this palette in little discount or if you don't want to take risk from international site you can try out Instagram seller LAMAKEUPAFFAIR for this palette.

I know and I admit that URBAN DECAY is the brand that comes with a price tag which is why everyone can't afford it so here I am listing you few closer dupes of URBAN DECAY ELECTRIC PALETTE.

DUPE LIST and FROM WHERE TO GET IT:-

  • NYX ULTIMATE EYESHADOW PALETTE IN BRIGHTS (reviewed it here).
  • MORPHE EYESHADOW PALETTE IN 35B (reviewed here).

Both the eyeshadow palette I mentioned here are permanent one, so you can definitely grab it anytime. For NYX try out NYKAA.COM, as I bought the palette from there only and for MORPHE ONE there are few Instagram sellers who sell this Morphe palette like LAMAKEUPAFFAIR, LACHICWICK, THE_MAKEUP_STORE_INDIA, BEAUTY.SPLURGE and much more.

So, here I am ending my today's post with loads of pictures for you all to see and enjoy :)

















Have you tried URBAN DECAY PALETTE?
I will see you in my next post

[AS I AM GETTING SO MANY QUERIES REGARDING INSTAGRAM SELLERS,SO I DECIDED TO GIVE YOU A RECOMMENDATION AS MUCH AS I CAN IN MY EVERY MAKEUP RELATED POST].

Review and swatches of Nyx ultimate shadow palette in Brights:-



Hey Everyone,

As the fever of Nyx mania is increasing its hotness in me so I am here today with another Nyx product review. I already reviewed a beautiful Nyx matte lipstick (you can read it here) that I paired with my recent look ( I posted on my page a few days back). So today I am going to talk about the eyes, the look I created with Nyx ultimate Eyeshadow palette in shade Brights.

Only a Bright palette has the capability to create a bright look, and so when I lay my hands on this palette I came out with something different apart from my usual look. The palette that reminds me of Summer Bright looks finally drags me to create one.


Let’s head to the review…




Introduction:-


Nyx Ultimate Eyeshadow palette comes up in three different shades, Smokey and highlight, Brights and Warm Neutrals. Among the three I pick up “BRIGHTS” one.

Nyx Ultimate eyeshadow palette has 16 beautiful bright shades that come up in a small sturdy case. The palette has the mixture of bright matte and shimmer shades. It has four row that is beautifully coordinated with a range of colors. Among the 16 shades 13 are eyeshadows while 3 are pressed pigments.

The first row from the top has the range of reds and pinks while the second row has the range of violets and lavender. The third row has four pretty shades of blue that reminds me of the bright clear sky, while the last row having green and shades of yellow and orange reminds me a colorful scenario of summer.

 


Price:-


Rs.1725/- for 13.28g. Each eyeshadow is 0.83g/0.02 oz.
 

Expiry:-


3 years.

Availability :-


 Nykaa.com

 

Few words from the brand itself:-


NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette - 13.30g

1001 color combinations for your eyes! The pro-level palette is truly the Ultimate Shadow Palettes featuring 16 expertly coordinated color combination eyeshadows, from naturals to smokies to pop. Each set features a vivid mix of velvety-rich textures and mesmerizing finishes that range from mattes and satins to shimmers and metallics.

Features:


     16 professionally coordinated high-performance eye shadows.
      Velvety shades and highly pigmented.
        The range of finishes allows different looks from smoky to natural to pop.

List of ingredients picture is below:-

 


 

Packaging:-


The palette comes in a black case with a see through transparent lid having a black border. The case looks really classy and cute. All the shades are visible from outside and so it is easy to pick from stash full of eyeshadow palette. The lid closure close tightly with a click sound while one has to force the lid with nails to open it. So it is a travel-friendly palette. The palette is not huge that you can’t carry in bag neither so small that you can keep it in your purse. It is a nice 4 inch x 4-inch size palette.

 

My experience:-


First of all, I will admit that I am little disappointed with the size of palette compare to the big amount I invest to get it. The palette is just 4 by 4-inch size and each eyeshadow is 0.83gm. But as the tag of expiry has noted down below in the palette so after receiving it I was quite okay with it as I knew I need to use up this one pretty fast (although I know if proper hygiene is maintained, any eyeshadows last for ages. They don’t expire actually).

Coming to the texture, I must say all the shades are damn pretty and have buttery/velvety texture. They blend smoothly and there are minimal fallouts. The palette is a perfect combo of all bright shades. The shades are much pigmented. And they beautifully blend on eyelids. All the shades stay pretty 5 hours without primer and with primer it stays little longer. The size of each shade might be little bothering as they are so small according to eyeshadows from other brands. The palette again has no mirror or eyeshadow applicator/brush so one had to carry both separately.

Overall the palette is very pretty. All the shades are pigmented and have the velvety texture that blends flawlessly on my lids but I personally think the price of the palette is little pricey compared to the quantity we are getting in it. Otherwise, it is a great palette and if you are a makeup enthusiastic then this palette will increase the brightness of your stash and in your makeup.








 

My rating:-


4/5
 

Here are the swatches of eyeshadows along with an FOTD where I created the eye look using few shades from the palette along with the lipstick from Nyx too that I already reviewed here.










 Hope you like my today’s post and I will see you soon with another post in my blog :)
