I'm Alive!! NYX Champagne & Caviar Swatches

Being a camera-less beauty blogger sucks. Of course, I end up getting mass amounts of cute makeup and nail stuff just after my camera breaks. I ordered one last week, but Amazon's "super saver shipping" BLOWS and the new ones not coming until March 2nd, grr!!

That said, this was an okay week to be without a camera. Busy bee! I've been working a lot and schools totally kicking my butt. Then I slept until 6pm yesterday (my husband kept calling and thought I was Lisa-napped...his words!).

So I'm looking through my loads of pictures on my computer and keep finding things I've never posted! Up today is the NYX 10 Color Shadow Runway Collection in Champagne & Caviar.

Each one is on top of ELF Studio Primer
1. warm golden frost
2. semi-matte cool taupe
3. matte warm clay
4. cool golden frost
5. medium golden brown
6. matte white
7. cool brown frost
8. matte deep brown
9. light pink with silver shimmer
10. matte black

Overall, I really like these shadows. #1, 2, 4, 7 & 8 are my favorites and its a great palette for when you just need to get your makeup done really fast! The staying power is pretty good, nothing special, but it will last on top of a primer for an 8 hour day.

I bought mine from a blog sale but you can buy it from Nonpareil Boutique for $8.00+shipping or Cherry Culture for $8.00+shipping (although CC always sells out fast when they have sales, so be quick!).

Here's a quick look I did with these shadows for an interview way back in December!

What I used:
-NYX Champagne & Caviar in #1, 2 & 8
-Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Underground- metallic taupe
-Wet n Wild Cream liner in black
-ELF Studio blush in Candid Coral
-NYX round lipstick in Circe

Super crappy closed-eye shot! Yay! Anyways...I used the warm golden frost all over eye from lid to browbone, the cool taupe in crease and the dark brown over Underground on bottom lid.

Have you tried out the coveted Champagne & Caviar palette yet? What are your thoughts on NYX palettes? (I think the trios are pure crap...I prefer the singles, but this palette rocked my socks!)
