Review: Makeup: NYX Cosmetics eyeshadows

September 19, 2007 Paris B 8 Comments

NYX eyeshadows have been compared to MAC eyeshadows in terms of quality. They are very pigmented and are of good quality. I am not much of a MAC cosmetics fan, so when faced with this comparison, I’d stick my head out and say that NYX eyeshadows are even better than MAC.

This review is for the pressed eyeshadows which I have – the Ultimate Pearl shadows (round pan) and the regular eyeshadows (square pan).

The Ultimate Pearl shadows come in a large round pan with a quilted pattern on the surface. They are highly shimmery and have a soft texture. This makes it easy to apply but also easy to shatter. The pigmentation is sheer so it isn’t for those who like strong pigment but it works well to have some colour on your lids at work. I found that the older ones were actually larger than the newer editions. You can see it in the picture. That said, they are really large, so its not likely you’ll ever finish one up anyway. I’ve since gained some colours and lost some others so this is just an idea. They cost about US$6 each retail but can usually be found in beauty shops or drugstores for a lot less.

The regular eyeshadows come in a square pan. I have the old versions which are flat on the top. The new ones have a quilted top. These ones have excellent pigmentation. The colours are intense and stay on for hours. The colour selection is large and in a word – amazing. I’d definitely say these are worth every single penny, especially so when they cost only about US$5 each and similarly can be found for a lot less at beauty stores and drugstores.

I’ve heard that this brand can now be found at certain Guardian pharmacies in Singapore. I have not seen them for myself so it would be nice if someone from there could confirm their availability and how much these cost there.

Pros: Cheap and excellent quality

Cons: Hard to find

    Hi. this is the first time i’m commenting, but i’ve been a regular new reader (found your blog a few weeks ago).

    Yup. I just saw NYX in S’pore’s Vivocity Guardian. It was the first time i saw the brand here so i took note of it. Such a coincidence that you blogged about it.

    PB says: Thanks for your support Mara. NYX has nice stuff. Do check them out! And you are lucky to have them in Singapore!

    The Guardian at Suntec has NYX too.

    But they only have their lip color and eye shadow trio and nail color.

    No single eye shadows or blush.. sad to say….

    PB says: Thanks for the update! Maybe they’ll bring in the singles and blushes later?

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️

Housed at the base of Kapas Condominium, (enter from Jalan Penaga), you’ll find the brand new Lex’s Patio Pantry, a curated grocer with pantry staples and a little cafe set up offering breakfast and lunch. It’s a lovely spot that is quiet and green, filled with all sorts of wonderful goodies, and is best of all, pet friendly! Scroll to the end to see what my efforts are like trying to get a photo with the kid 😒

This explains my lack of updates generally. Been very busy preparing for this, and amazingly enough, moving operations again! It’s a long sucky story but it might have just turned out for the best for us so as they say about windows opening and closing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and look for the open window when doors close.
