NYX Prismatic Shadows

So first off I have to say I have been trying to get my hands on these shadows since January 2015.  I have been to Ulta stores here in West Palm Beach, Miami and in Orlando and have not been able to locate them as they have always been sold out.   This should tell you how popular these shadows are.  Finally I gave in and purchased them on Ulta.com and the waiting game began.  I received the shadows in the mail on Friday and could not wait to give them a try.

My opinion........... I absolutely love, love them.  The shadows are highly pigmented, smooth and I encountered no fall out.   The colors transfer beautifully with a brush and when I used my finger.  They were easily blendable and the staying power is amazing.  I wore the colors for about 7 hours and there was no fading or shifting.

I currently own 6 of the 12 colors.  The colors I own are Tin, Frostbite, Smoke and Mirrors, Girl Talk, Fireball and Golden Peach. I purchased these as mentioned from Ulta.com.  Regular price is $6.00 a pot, however Ulta does have a sale currently underway buy 1 get 1 50% off. I fully intend to purchase the remaining colors in the collection.

One word to the wise, be careful not to drop the pots as the shadows  can shatter.  If this does happen do not fear they are still very usable and gives the same effect.

Have fun and don't be afraid to play with color.

Shany Bold and Bright Collection in Vivid

Shany Bold and Bright Collection in Vivid contains 120 vibrant colors.  The palette comes with a mixture of matte and shimmer colors that are long lasting and smudge resistant.  The colors can be used both wet and dry.  When used wet the shadows present in a more dramatic way and the colors are more pigmented.  When used dry the colors are also dramatic but present is a softer manner.  The colors can be used to create casual, formal or dramatic funky looks. 

The palette includes pinks, oranges, yellows, blues, greens and more.  The half inch square eye shadow palette contain two pans with 60 colors in each pan.  The pans are seperated by a plastic film to protect the product.  There is a ribbon on the end of each pan for easily removal of each pan from the case.  The case is sturdy and built for easy travel.

The shadows were easy to apply with either a brush or your finger and I found them to be very rich and creamy.  I used the shadows to create the look below, and incorporated a total of six different  colors in to my look.  I wore this look for approximately six hours and did not notice any shifting of the shadow or smudging.

The product is of high quality and very easy to work with.  There was very very minimum fall out and clean up was a breeze.  Removing the shadows was also a snap.  One swipe of a make-up remover cloth and bye bye product.

Overall I was very highly impressed with the product and would recommend the palette to someone who loves to play with color.  The palette can be purchased fromm the Shany Cosmetics website for $18.00.
