NYX Glitter Cream Palette - One Night In Luxy (12)

All the reviews I read on this glitter cream eyeshadow were horrible. I honestly didn't think it was that bad! lol. Maybe I am using it differently than others.

This is definitely NOT glitter eyeshadow, which is kinda what I was anticipating. It's more just like glitter in a cream base. If that makes sense. Using this doesn't actually give me the color of eyeshadow, but for me, it works great over top of eyeshadow.

When I am having a big night out, I will use this over top of my eyeliner or on the color I put on my eyelid for a more dramatic effect. The application is somewhat tedious, but this is the one time I found that the applicator that came with the palette comes in handy. Don't try to use a brush - that didn't work for me. I used the little cheap plastic applicator and used it to grab the glitter (I used a heavy hand) and then just place where I want on my eyes. I used the edge when I put it on over eye liner.


You will have a small bit of fall out during application, but once it's on, it doesn't flake off hardly at all. My swatches stayed on my arm until I washed them off and I did this entire blog entry with them on.

There weren't any actual color names printed on the package...So, I will do my best to describe them to you. lol.

Korres Lip Butter

I might be late to the party here, but I LOVE Korres Lip Butter. I just tried this for the first time maybe about two months ago and was instantly in love.

Korres makes natural products, so along with the wonderful hydration and juicy colors, you don't have to worry about what kinds of chemicals you are putting on your mouth.

"A rich buttery lip balm that melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish."

I agree.


The colors I have (From L to R, Top to bottom) are Wild Rose, Quince, Mango, and Jasmine.
