nyx machinist grind eye shadow palette

hello everyone today i will be reviewing the nyx machinist eye shadow palette in grind.

this palette cost about $30 CND from a local drugstore but i'm sure you can find it else ware. in it you get 12 eye shadows with both matte and shimmer shades. there are 7 mattes and 5 shimmers with the eye shadows having 0.03 ounces of product. this palette also contains carmine so if you are vegan you will want to stay away from this palette.

here is the first row of swatches. each one is done with a finger and no base on what so ever.

here is the second row.

and here is the last row.

first off, the metallic brown shade with the greenish sheen on the last row is a pretty close dupe for urban decay's lounge. the mattes on this aren't super creamy feeling but they are pigmented and blend easily. the metallic are soft, pigmented and are also easy to work with. the shades in this i feel like are pretty unique. you have a super dark plum, a mustard and a dark green which isn't something i have a lot of in my collection. this palette is great for doing dark looks with pops of colorful shimmer. i've done a few looks with this palette and i seriously love it. now for the downside. i can't seem to find this palette anywhere. i've looked in the store where i got it and online. the only ones i cant find online are the steam and ignite palettes. if by some chance you can find this palette i highly recommend this as to me it's totally unique and the shadows themselves are fairly decent.
