they're small and super portable but almost impossible to actually get the right amount of product out of so I went to Wal-Mart and bought a plastic container that has 24 little plastic jars in it (I think that was about $7) and depotted all of them into the jars.
So here's what they look like now:
And I figured I would do swatches of them all for you. I did a stripe of TFSI, a stripe of NYX JEP "Milk", and a stripe of NYX JEP "Black Bean" so you can see what they look like on each of those bases:
 |
| See how, especially in this group, the colors totally pop over the black base? |
My favorites are most definitely Mocha, Silver, Lime, Ocean Blue, Turquoise, Nude, Rust, and Sky Pink. I don't really like the black one at all, the texture is very different than the rest of them, it reminds me of the beard from the toy "Wooly Willy" haha.
 |
| Hopefully you can see the chunky texture here |
 |
| Versus the smooth texture here (this is how all of the other ones look too) |
And since I'm showing all of these to you, I decided to do a look using only these (well, except my liner).
The colors I used are: True Purple, Silver, Black, Space, and White (as my highlight). I used them over NYX JEP in "Milk".
But I definitely think that for the price, these are definitely worth it (just don't buy the black one!!!). I really do use them all of the time (usually not all at once haha) and I love them!
I love the look! What brush do u use for the loose shadows? and the swatches are great..thanks for putting them over black bean as well..that is very helpful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome swatches- great job! I loooove your hair here so pretty! Thanks for the review, I will definitely keep my eye on these!
ReplyDeleteI love how you put these in those little containers. I have a few of them that are basically unused because I have yet to buy anything to put them in. I love your collection & your hair looks SO pretty.
ReplyDeleteI bought a few of those same containers a couple of months back and use them for glitter and my depotted NYX jumbo eye pencils. I love how the jars are removable! Amazing swatches and you look soooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have one, I think it's in rust, but I have not idea how to use it and what look to use it with, It's super hard to get just enough pigment out, so I never use it.
ReplyDeleteI love that you did the swatches with 3 colors underneath, that is a great way to do it. I was LMAO at the Wooly Willy. That was a GREAT comparison though it looks just like the ground up magnetic bits. That Wooly Willy was a lot of fun though.
ReplyDeleteI have turquoise and I really like it...I've only used it once and I did also find that it was really hard to work with because of the way they package it. I love your hair!!
ReplyDelete@Jess: I use my smudge brush that I got from Target.. I can't remember the name of the brand but I know the brush was like $2.50, I love that brush, I actually have 2 of them because I use them so so much.
ReplyDelete@Amalia: Thanks!!
@DreamingCrush41: Thank you so much! Yeah, the packaging they come in sucks... they really should think about changing it!
@Meme: Why didn't I think of that for my JEP??? I depotted a few because I had emptied pots of other products but I have a couple more and didn't even think to put them in there!
@Girtasic: you'll have to depot it and try it again, it would look beautiful on you (it's a bit warmer than their "Rust" eyeshadow)!
@Becki: hey thanks! Haha I had to google what he was called, I couldn't remember the name, I just remember playing with him!
@Danisaddiction: They say that cosmetic companies care what we think... well they should start listening and put these in different packaging and put a pump on Revlon Colorstay. Thank you!
Thank you for this great blogpost! Now, I have an overview about the colours and know, which ones I want :)
