The NYX Runway Palette In Bohemian Rhapsody : Does it compare to the Urban Decay Naked palette?

March 14, 2011 Paris B 20 Comments

I picked up the NYX Runway Palette in Bohemian Rhapsody for 2 reasons:-

  1. It made me hum “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen – “Mamma mia let me go…”; and
  2. It reminded me so much of the Urban Decay Naked palette I had to see if it was a dupe

It still makes me hum Bohemian Rhapsody everytime I use it, but as for the latter reason, you’re going to have to make your own mind up when you see the swatches and comparisons below 🙂

nyx bohemian rhapsody runway palette eyeshadow swatches review

I like (or liked) NYX eyeshadows. The past tense is because I’m now so bummed about using eyeshadow singles, preferring to use palettes, that I’ve disposed of most my NYX shadow singles. The quality of the shadows are good for the small price that you pay and that in itself should make you happy. I used to have the NYX Eyeshadow trios too, which I’d tell you to avoid, because to me, they are NOT representative of the quality of NYX shadows. Its been a while since I returned to NYX and truth to tell, I rather like the NYX Runway Palette. I got 2 – Bohemian Rhapsody and Haute Model, but I’ll tell you about the other one later.

What you get in this palette is 10 eyeshadows of varying neutral tones in a mix of matte and shimmer textures. You also get a double ended sponge tip applicator which I promptly tossed 😛 I prefer to just use my regular brushes.

The texture of the shadows are a bit of a mix. Some swatch smooth, some don’t. In terms of colour pigment, some are more pigmented than others. The swatches below should give you an idea of the Bohemian Rhapsody palette.

The top row of swatches are the bottom row of colours in the palette. They are matte shadows and I do not quite like the peach and white, which do not show up very well or at all. Pigment is certainly lacking in those. The other 3 colours, a taupe, dark grey and black fare much better.

The bottom row of swatches are the top row of colours in the palette. They are shimmer shadows and all swatch quite true to colour. The light blue is a bit of a surprise and the pale shimmer beige makes a lovely highlighter. The colours are a lovely mix of warm and cool tones, but mostly cool, which suits me perfectly fine.

NYX Mosaic Highlighter and Guerlain Meteorites compared

June 17, 2010 Paris B 6 Comments

If you are a regular reader, you will know of my love for the Guerlain Meteorites powder. But its expensive for the most part. So let me tell you of a cheaper alternative.

NYX Mosaic Powder highlighter does the trick – sort of.

I will not call it a “dupe” because the NYX Mosaic powder does not give me as ethereal a glow as the Meteorites do and the powder isn’t as finely milled. What it is is a cheaper alternative that more or less does the same thing at a pinch i.e. highlight skin at a cheaper price.

If you can get your hands on it.

Day 13 : NYX Round Lipstick – Peach

June 13, 2009 Paris B 5 Comments

Day 13 of the the 30 lipsticks in 30 days project features a really cheap but great lipstick from NYX Cosmetics. This is the NYX Round Lipstick which was a gift from a friend but a line I would consider getting more from.

NYX Cosmetics Round Lipstick – Peach

NYX round lipstick peach

When I first saw the name of the lipstick I thought they labeled the lipstick wrongly. The name was Peach but the colour was nowhere near Peach. In the tube its a metallic deep berry. Again I did a double take but yep! It says Peach on the label.

On the lips, NYX Peach is a Rosy Berry Red with nice high shine. Its a lovely colour, make no mistake – its just not Peach no matter what the label says! I love it but then its my sort of colour 🙂

Day 2: NYX Black Label Lipstick – Opium

June 2, 2009 Paris B 20 Comments

Day 2 of the 30 lipsticks in 30 days Project features another red lippie!

NYX Black Label lipstick – Opium

Opium is one of my favourite warm red lipsticks. Just like opium the drug, Opium  the colour is intoxicating and a delight to my senses, adding a shot of color to an otherwise neutral look.

NYX Black Label Opium

I pair Opium with neutral coloured eyeshadow and lots of black eyeliner and mascara. When the day is dull and dreary or when I’m feeling down Opium cheers me right up <- didn’t quite sound right eh? 😛
