Some NYX Single Eyeshadow Staples: Herb and Highlight

Yes I’m going to moan again about how in the UK we can’t just walk into a drugstore and buy NYX. But still, it isn’t fair. These are fab! Here I have Highlight which is a pale matte cream. It doesn’t show up on my skin at all so is useless as an actual highlight however I use it all the time in the same way as I use MAC Blanc Type. It’s invaluable for blending out colours that I’ve over applied and softening any harsh edges. The colour is slightly deeper than Blanc Type so I’m using Highlight almost exclusively since my holiday. I also have Herb here which is a shimmery golden olive green. It is muted enough to be work appropriate so it gets a lot of use as a crease colour when I get bored of work safe taupe’s and browns.



The quality is fantastic, I find them to be pigmented and soft/ blendable. They can occasionally be a touch powder so do remember to tap any excess off your brush before applying. For a few US $ (prices vary from a couple up to around $5) you get 2.7g of product which represents fantastic value for money. For comparison an £11 MAC shadow gets you 1.5g of products.
The packaging is sleek, simple and black with a handy clear lid so you can find the colour you’re looking for easily. I like the quilted design on the product itself too. These just feel well thought through and better quality than the price would suggest. I’d happily buy more of these (in fact I have 3 others) and when Highlight runs out I may well be buying a replacement. Love them! Xxx
