NYX Away We Glow Shadow Palette Is Yet Another Nude Palette I Want

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I have to admit I do want the NYX Away We Glow Shadow Palette ($21.99). Yes, I know, it’s another warm palette but I do so love my warmer nudes. NYX released this palette in two shade selections called Lovedbeam and Hooked On Glow. In promo images they actually look a lot alike but it seems like one has more duskier pinks, mauves and nudes where as the other contains an assortment of nudes and earthy greens.

Each palette holds 10 shades and promises a buttery texture. I have to admit that NYX’s prices throw me lately though! $21.99 for a palette? That’s pretty mid-range pricing there. These better knock my socks clear off for that price.

The NYX Away We Glow Shadow Palette is available now at ulta.com.

P.S. Anyone see a Quiet Place yet? I went to see it with some friends last night and we left the theater with mixed emotions. I think we read into a lot of the hype on the Internet and many of the ravings reviews so we expect a little more than we got. I won’t ruin it for anyone (not that there’s much to ruin as it’s pretty much self explanatory if you’ve seen the trailers and posts about it) but I just thought it was lacking something and wasn’t nearly as groundbreaking and incredible and oh so amazing as everyone was saying. Did I miss something? I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

Maybelline Burgundy Bar Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Maybelline Burgundy Bar Eyeshadow Palette ($9.99) is one of the best eyeshadow palettes I’ve ever used from the brand. I am in love with this formula, these shades, this price, everything about this palette is spot on.

They did a truly wonderful job with this and I have hopes that in the future when releasing larger palettes like this they do more of the same. If I experienced this sort of formula with Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Eyeshadow Palette, the 24K Nudes Eyeshadow Palette, and many, many of the other 12 pan eyeshadow palettes they’ve launched over the years I’d be a happy, happy girl. I was thinking about it and I love the shades in the Blush Nudes Palette but the quality was really lacking. If they did a new version with the formula on par with the Burgundy Bar Eyeshadow Palette I’d probably buy backups!

I just can’t believe what a great job they did with this palette and I can’t understand why we’ve gotten so many flaky, horribly formulated 12 pan eyeshadow palettes from Maybelline over the years that are no where near this quality!

Needless to say the Maybelline Burgundy Bar Eyeshaodw Palette is a keeper.
