NYX I Dream of St. Marteen 5-Color Eye Shadow Palette

Like a sunset blazing over a tropical beach, these collections each of five best-selling NYX eye shadow colors are undeniably dreamy. Each of the 10 different eye shadow palettes is inspired by an island getaway. Expect rich pigments, lasting payoff and jet-set glamour.

This palette is part of the a mini NYX haul I got a few weeks ago. I Dream of St. Marteen features your basic nude browns which I'm pretty sure I'll be using almost everyday. The colors are mostly shimmery but in a very flattering kind of way. The shimmers are not frosty so you get a subtle shine. I use all of the shades in the palette and is very versatile. I can totally bring just this palette on a weekend trip or short vacation.

Swatches: NYX I Dream of St. Marteen 5-Color Eye Shadow Palette

(Swatched once on NC25 skin). You can create a lot of looks with NYX's I Dream of St. Marteen Eye Shadow palette, from subtle to smokey. The darker brown on the left can be used as contour. The next shade, I use as a base shade for the whole eyelid. The brown/taupe is used on the outer "v" of my eyes to make it look bigger and to add more definition. The lightest shade is applied subtly on my brow bones for highlighting. The coppery shade I use on the inner "v" of my eyes to make it pop even more. Sometimes, I also use this beautiful coppery color as a lower lid liner. This palette would be more flattering on warm skin tones and those with medium skin tones but would also work on a wide range of skin tones.

Pros:

- Cheap (Php 330 online, on sale)

- Travel-friendly and mostly sturdy packaging, with a good-sized mirror

- Very pigmented

- Decent staying power

- Blendable and smooth with minimal fallout

Cons:

- None!
