Haul & Review: NYX Cosmetics’ 10-Color Eyeshadow Palette in Smokey Eyes

I bought this palette from NYX Cosmetics last month but didn’t have the time to upload some pictures of it. So here’s a quick, belated haul entry. The palette is from the brand’s 10-Color Eyeshadow Palette range and is titled ESP10CSMEY Smokey Eyes. You can check out the entire range here.

There are no names for the individual shades, so in future references, I’ll be naming them by number, starting from the top left to the bottom right. The palette has a mixture of matte and shimmery, light and dark shades and is therefore a great one for creating smokey eye looks for the day and evening. Shades 1, 2, 8, and 9 are perfect for the day while the rest work for the night. Shade 10 acts as a base and/or highlighter and can be used at all times. If I could only take one palette with me on the plane, this would be it. The eyeshadows are extremely soft to the touch and very pigmented. My only gripe is that shades 4 and 7 are too similar to each other, although 4 is darker and 7 is a little on the reddish side.
