NYX s119 Nude On Nude Palette with Swatches on Dark Skin

I purchased my palette from
porkdaisy.com.
Price
It cost me $22.50. Shipping was $4.
I selected the least expensive shipping option, First Class Mail. The package was labelled with a neon orange fragile handle with care sticker. Despite this,
my envelope was ripped because of the weight of the palette.
It was enclosed in a bubble wrapped padded mailer. The shipper should have reinforced the end of the envelope. This resulted in a two day delay in the shipping. The USPS re wrapped the package an included a letter of apology for delay. I contacted porkdaisy about it. They apologized & said they would notify the shipping department of what transpired. Fortunately NYX made the palette so sturdily, that it arrived safely.




On to the swatches!
The palette comes with a hidden drawer of 10 lip colors.
I found these to be quite sheer. They would be perfect over a lip pencil or a lipstick.
They remind me of a waxy lip balm. Only three of the colors really showed up on my skin.

Bottom Eyeshadow Row

Top Eyeshadow Row

Packaging

The palette also comes with two tiny double-ended applicators.
One is a double-ended sponge tip applicator.
The other is a double-ended lip brush.

The casing is made of sturdy plastic. The palette contains a small mirror.
It is easy to open.
I think it would be very convenient for travel.
I agree with fellow YouTuber Traycee (KissSeventySeven)and think it would also make a nice gift for someone new to makeup or someone who loves neutrals.

Performance
The palette has a balanced number of matte, satin and shimmery eyeshadow shades.
I have not yet had the opportunity to experiment fully with all of the colors.
However, they are quite pigmented.

Some have asked whether or not this is a duplicate for the Urban Decay NAKED palette.
I would have to say, "No." There are a few colors that are similar, however none are exact duplicates.
Each palette stands on it's own merits. I have used them together to create neutral looks.

I am still playing with the NYX Nude On Nude palette.
With twenty eyeshadows, the combination of looks is endless.

My Thoughts
I would give this palette four out of five stars.
I would definitely order from porkdaisy again.
Despite the delay in the delivery of my package, their prices are reasonable,
and Customer Service department was professional.

Do you own this? Is this something that looks appealing to you?

Silver/Gray Smokey Eyes & Vampy Dark Lips

This look is "On Trend" for Fall 2009.

I entered a contest on YouTube. The challenge was to create a makeup look based on a cartoon or comic book character. Generally, I'm conservative, so this was a leap for me.

PEACOCK

I LOVE Peacock Feathers. I recently acquired some of these beauties from my local Ashley Stewart. You can find some like them @ my friend Candiecc from YouTube's website.

I did this look for a contest on YouTube. I was wearing a smaller pair of peacock feather earrings. I enjoyed making the video. I prefer to just get to business with the makeup, but she wanted us to chat it up. LOL

When I 1st started collecting makeup about a year ago, I created my own custom palettes. I used DVD holders, double sided tape & wax paper. This vid received almost as many views as my homemade pizza vid.

I upgraded to Coastal Scents Palettes. They now sell for $6.95 each.
I did a review on the palette & a blending brush from coastal scents.
