NYX Cosmetics, purveyors of some of my most favorite budget-friendly beauty products, has come out with a series of four new additions to their Runaway Collection 10-shadow palettes.
In comparison to the e.l.f. palette of shadows I’ve been sporting (and loving) this week, I have to say that the quality of the NYX shadows is clear step above in terms of blendability. With 10 shadows, there are plenty of options for exercising your creative abilites for the on-target price of $9.75. Now, go forth, and blend!
Base: Urban Decay Sin Primer Potion
Lid, Lower Lid, Outer Corner, Browbone: FromNYX Cosmetics Velvet Rope Palette
Liner: MAC Teddy Kohl
Brows: Stila Dark Brow Duo, darker shade
Mascara: CoverGirl Lash Blast
You can purchase NYX Cosmetics online, at Ulta, and select boutiques around the U.S. The Velvet Rope palette is available here.

I love that black with red sparkle in the upper right corner. I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to find a nail color like that.
Ooh, that would be an awesome nail polish. I’ll keep my eye out for you!
