Hello lovelies!

ahhh I know it's been a few days since I last posted, but I was caught up in some family stuff, so I didn't get a chance to take pictures of any of my new goodies!  I did swatch the NYX Pearl Mania pigments though.

I was SOOOO impressed by these pigments.  I don't own any MAC pigments, but I have swatched them at the counters and these NYX pigments are fantastic dupes for them!  The NYX pigments are very fine, so they apply very smoothly onto the eye.  For just a small fraction of the MAC pigment prices, these Pearl Mania pigments are a steal!

The best thing about these particular shades is that they can be used for neutral looks (for work, school, etc) and for more dramatic looks, such as a smokey eye.  Another thing I noticed when I used the pigments is that there was almost no fallout onto my cheeks!  I didn't have to reapply concealer/foundation to cover up the fallout at all.

There's only one down side to these NYX pigments.  I don't really use pigments in general because they're a little more difficult to apply than regular shadows.  What's worse about the NYX pigments is that the opening for the bottle is so narrow that it's nearly impossible to get your brush into the bottle.  I would suggest buying some small empty jars from Walmart or Michaels to refill the pigments in.  Other than that, the product is fantastic.
