Today I have a post featuring the NYX Smokey Shadow Collection palette. I was dying to get this palette after watching Leesha's (xsparkage) video on the Mortal Instruments Parallel Worlds Kit Review! I didn't find that I was too interested in the entire collection, but this palette looked gorgeous so I just had to try it out!
The Smokey Shadow palette contains 6 shadows ranging from dark to light. Although most of the shadows (except for the black which contains glitter) look matte, they actually have a satin finish.
Now for the swatches!
- All photos were taken in artificial lighting and shadow swatches were done with flash.
- All swatches were done over Too Faced Shadow Insurance.
My Thoughts:
I found these shadows to be a bit stiff to work with, especially the blue and the purple. I do absolutely love the purple, bronze, and the gray shadows! I definitely think that this palette is worth checking out!
The Smokey Shadow Collection palette can be found on the NYX website for $7.00! I was also able to find this palette at my local Ulta for $6.99.
Have any of you tried this palette? Which shadows are your favorite?

Pretty! I love that there are neutrals and colours in there. The sparkly grey in particular is awesome!
