Eyeshadow : Nyx Sexy Blue Eyes

I admit it, I am not a big fan of eyeshadows. I feel like, when I applied it on my eyelids, it will only exaggerate my look. But, upon discovering the blogging world, it changes everything. I learned to love colorful eyeshadows and started to wear it nowadays.

But since I am a snob when it comes to expensive makeup, last June, Makeup Suite had a blog sale, and I am very glad to find affordable pre-loved makeup. And it's my first time to have an eyeshadow palette from Nyx. And today I am going to show to you the NYX SEXY BLUE EYES EYESHADOW PALETTE.

COST : P200.00

WHERE : MAKEUP SUITE

CONDITION : PRE-LOVED

 It came up with a sturdy black palette with approximately 5 inches long.

 On the back part of the palette, you can see the information, ingredients and manufacturing details of the product.

 It is distributed by NYX Los Angeles California U.S.A

HOW IT LOOKS LIKE INSIDE:

navy blue, jeans blue, deep blue, light blue, silver-beige, orange, copper red, taupe, dark gold.

  This photo was taken under natural lighting without flash.

 This photo was taken with flash.

As you can see, it still contains a lot of product. When I bought this from Makeup Suite last June, parang 3% of the product has been used palang. 

And after 3 months, I still have 70-80 % of the product left. It goes to show, that a little goes a long way with this eyeshadows.

 It contains 10 shimmery (not glittery) eyeshadows.

SWATCH:

I took different pictures in different lighting for you to see it well.

WITH LOW FLASH.

WITHOUR FLASH, TEXTURIZED VERSION.

 On this shot, the eyeshadows may look too shimmery, but it isn't actually. It's not too shimmery not matte. Just in between.

WITHOUT FLASH, NATURAL LIGHTING

WITHOUT FLASH, DIM LIGHTING

WITH FLASH.

  CLOSER VIEW:

 The number 9 e/s is a great dupe for Urban Decay's SMOG.

 Pretty Things:
Cheap
(got this as pre-loved)
No weird scent

Easy to blend

A little goes a long way

 Contains a lot of product
The palette has a wide mirror

 May last 1-2 years (depends on usage)
The colors are very versatile you can come up with different color combination unlike the other palette from For your eyes only collection

Ugly Truth:
It has fallout
The applicator is useless
E/s number 7 and 9 almost looks like the same

The palette is prone to scratches and finger prints

But all in all, I really love this eyeshadow. I can use this during special occasions.  It has a lot of colors and I can come up with different look. It's easy to blend even with fingers. I do recommend this to everyone!

These are some of the pictures wering Nyx Sexy Blue eyes e/s:

Using e/s no. 6 and 7

Combination of e/s 1,2 and 6

Combination of e/s 7,8,9

That's it! I am a bit in a hurry now.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Love,

My First Online Shopping at U.S through House of Flair

I'm not afraid of shopping online locally, since I am not using credit card or paypal (dahil wala naman ako nun), much safer kasi for me kung ang payment ay through bank deposits. And of course I always make sure that the seller is trusted. But I haven't tried shopping at U.S online stores, cause I know, I don't have paypal or mastercards, and I am just annoyed on how much the shipping fee they would cost me for just a pair of shoes. I remember last August, when I heard that Tilly's.com wass having it's clearance sale and I saw items there that cost $0.99 for accessories and $4.00 for a pair of flats, such a steal right? So I added items on my cart, and upon proceeding to checkout, I was kinda, Oh My Men! You know how much the shipping fee from U.S to Philippines, double the total amount of the items on my cart. I was really heartbroken by the S.F :(, but I'm glad that House of Flair  came to the rescue. Or should I call it a Hero? lol

Well, if you haven't heard anything about HOF here's some info about the store:

"House of Flair is a Philippine-based business that allows Philippine residents to shop from their favorite USA online stores.

The House of Flair prides itself in being honest and trustworthy. Rest assured that all our products are ordered directly from USA online stores."

Ms.Suyen (owner of HOF) informed me that HOF can help me with my problem. And guess what, I only have to pay additional fees but not as much as what the site costs me. And I was literally shocked that the fees does not burn holes in my pocket.! So, last Thursday my package arrived! Wow! After almost 1 1/2 months of waiting finally, here comes my new babies!

"Don't be fooled by the box that I've got. . . gorgeous shoes are inside the box!"

 Amazing clothes inside :)

So, did the HOF give me a fair amount for my total purchase?
YES!!!

To sum up the total, I only paid P2335.00, inclusive of US Sales Tax, US Shipping & Handling, US to Phil Shipping & Handling, Phil Customs Fees & HOF processing Fee. Isn't it great right? This is such an amazing purchased that I've ever did. lol. It is really worth the wait and all my items are in excellent condition, nothing has any defect or whatsoever. I am really really happy with my purchase. House of Flair is really a hero! For a budget conscious like me, HOF is really the answer if I wanted to buy something imported! Therefore I conclude, that HOF is truly a trusted store!

I just wanted to say Thank you to Ms.Suyen for the smooth transaction! I will surely do business with you soon!

Happy weekend loves!

Days went too fast right? Well I wish we can make it slower during weekends.

Anyway, I noticed that I haven't post my "I nailed it" portion for a long time na, so I'm just going to show to you my NOTW. I was about to share 2-3 designs, but the pictures were on my computer at home and still, it isn't working so I wasn't able to make a backup. 

Here it is:

Product used:
Sassy Nail Polish in Black P17.00
Sassy Nail polish in Lime Green P17.00
Dotter

This is a very simple nail art. You just have to make random dots on the tip of your finger nails working from the very tip down to the lower part of your nails, while creating bigger dots on the tips and smaller dots on the lower area to create an illusion.

So if you are planning to have your nails done this weekend, you can always freely try this design!

Ooops, and by the way, new package arrived yesterday, maybe I can share it with you guys next week kapag naayos na pc ko sa bahay.

So that's it for today.

Thanks for always dropping by and posting some comments.

I really love reading it, I appreciate it a lot.

Happy weekend, ENJOY!

Thanks!
