Nyx Ultimate Shadow Palette in Brights

hello everyone today i am reviewing the nyx ultimate shadow palette in brights. in this palette there are 13 eye shadows and 3 pressed pigments, though i am not sure which three are the pigments. each eye shadow has 0.02 ounces of product and this is made in china. in canada depending on where you buy this, it can range from $21 to $23.

each swatch is done with just a finger. sadly the eye shadows don't have names. here is the first row.

here is the second row

the third row

and the final row.

i applaud nyx for making a basically all matte palette with bright eye shadows. the colors themselves are hard to get a good formula and then to make these matte. good on you nyx. there are three shades in here that have micro glitter in here, but that doesn't seem to fallout when applied to the lid. when you are using these, if you want these shadows to be pigmented you are going to need a white base. when i first tried this palette i used my usual concealer and the colors were pretty washed out. then i used a white base, like the nyx jumbo pencil in milk and bam! i got color. the shades are quite hard and dry so when you use them you will get a bit of kickback. blending on these isn't the greatest, it takes a bit of work to keep it from being patchy. the packaging on this is really cheap. the little clasp the hold is closed broke on mine as soon as i opened it and will now no longer stay closed. i think the price of this is a lot considering how small the palette is and how little product you are actually getting. am i disappointed by this? ya i am, i've been trying to get my hands on it for a while now and i was expecting a better formula considering the price. is it the worst eye shadow ever? no, i've defiantly tried worse, i'm just salty about how much this is for a sub par product. would i recommend it? eh....maybe if you are just starting out with using colored eye shadows. if you use a lot of colorful eye shadows all the time, then this isn't going to be for you. yes they are for the most part matte, which is cool, but it's just not an amazing formula.
