The Runway Collection 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette

Photos of this palette don't do justice to the colors and finishes I saw when I first swatched this palette. This palette contains 10 very different shades in a variety of matte, duo-tone, and gently shimmering finishes. I'm usually not one to wear cool-toned shades, but this palette contains some beautiful, silver-shifting blues and lavenders that make the whole palette worth the price, considering that usually these palettes are $10, making each shade about $1.

The palette itself is very simple and sleek, with an applicator I don't care for and a very large mirror on the inside. Application of the shades is effortless as the product is silky to the touch, and both brush and fingertip application deposits high-intensity color. The darkest shades, maybe 2 of the 10, are a little on the chalkier side as far as texture, but it's not a bad thing as these are great for layering over the lighter shades to create the illusion of depth without having to resort to another eyeshadow product.

I absolutely adore this palette. I had the Beethoven palette by Kat Von D and was starting to run out of colors right before it broke :(. However, I went to Ulta before I went to Sephora and found this. This is the most perfect dupe for that palette, plus it comes with two extra colors. It is super pigmented and ideal for smokey eyes. I also own the Smokey Eyes, Champange & Caviar (aka Caviar & Bubbles), Versus, and Beautiful Green Eyes. All of the NYX palettes are perfection and so portable. Great for stocking stuffers or even a gift for yourself. Will definitely aim to get them all.

Love the colors and how they turn out on my eyes. I try to go with cheaper makeup since I'm still learning and this was just what I needed. You don't need to pack the shadow on to your brush to get a lot of product and it stays on wonderfully. Definitely a must have.

I have the Jazz Night and Brown Eyes palettes and adore them. I find myself using the Jazz Night palette more because I love the color combinations I can make. LOVE THE PACKAGING!! Seriously NYX has ruined other brand's palettes for me simply because I can't go without that huge mirror this collection comes with. <3 Will forever be one of my favorites. Eyeshadows last quite awhile and are really pigmented. I've never had any fallout with both matte and glitter shadows.

This palette is probably one of the best makeup investments I've ever made. Coming in a palette of ten colors, Jazz Night highlights colors for brown-eyed girls. There is a gorgeous silver that will bring out your eyes. I've been using the purple and playing with the blue eyeshadow. Highly pigmented and long-lasting, this is a great product for all the NYX fans and for the future of NYX fans. Bravo, NYX for another great product!

These palettes can be found at Ulta and some select drug stores for around $10. They come in four different themed palettes; Jazz Night, Champagne & Caviar, Secret World and Smokey Eyes. This palette (Jazz Night) was given to me by my best friend for my birthday :) These eyeshadow palettes come in a sleek black case with a good sized mirror. These palettes are perfect for girls (or guys) on the go, or for those needing to pack for a vacation. I'm not a fan of the spongy foam tip applicators, a small brush would make this palette much more appealing. As I mentioned in my previous post, some of these shadows are hit or miss. Some of the shades have less staying power than other shades and require more layering and packing. I find this to happen more with the matte shades than the shimmer shades. However, it does happen with both. Having browsed the other color palettes in this collection, I do like how the different colors are coordinated in each theme. You can create a variety of different looks with in each palette, which can be fun to play around with. For the price, I do think NYX delivers solid eyeshadows, but I don't know I would compare them to MAC just yet. Some shades are really nicely pigmented and others... not. I'm still on fence. Also, I want to mention that NYX is pronounced "nicks" not "N-Y-X." Every time I go to Ulta, the associates pronounce it wrong and then refute me when I let them know the correct way. The company named themselves after the Greek Goddess Nyx, or the "Goddess of the Night." www.izntlifesojuicy.blogspot.com
