NYX Box of Smokey Look Collection Review

Hello beautiful friends! Today, I am going to talk about NYX Box of Smokey Look Collection. I bought this online in qoo10 in Singapore.

If I can remember it right it cost around SGD $24. I wanted to buy something that I can use for years and if possible an all in one makeup kit.

The packaging is quite sturdy. It is plastic and a bit bulky since there are a ton of makeup products inside.

It has a rectangular mirror inside.

As you can see in the image below, it already has a lot of scratches but so far no cracks or whatsoever.

The palette are split into 4 section - Classic Smokey, Purple Smokey, Bronze Smokey and Natural Smokey. It also has bronzer, highlighter, contour and blushes.

At the bottom, there's a drawer filled with 16 lip colors (some are like lipstick), 12 glitter creams and 4 concealers/correctors
.

The eyeshadow colors are lovely. Even though it says Smokey look, you can always create something you really want.

If you’re addicted to smokey eyes, this kit is custom-made for you. It contains a palette of pigmented eye shadows to create gray smokey eyes, purple smokey eyes, bronze smokey eyes and natural smokey eyes. Kit also contains 3 blushers, 3 face powders, 4 concealers, 16 lip colors, 12 glitter creams and 1 black eye liner.  (source: NYX cosmetics.com)

Here are the swatches for the Classic Smokey eye shadows...

Here are the swatches for the Purple Smokey eye shadows...

Here are the swatches for the Bronze Smokey eye shadows...

Here are the swatches for the Natural Smokey eye shadows...

It also comes with quad eye shadow palettes.

Verdict
Most of the eye shadows are pigmented although there are a few of them that are not so pigmented. As you may see in the above photos, some are not so obvious especially the neutral shades.

Overall, I am satisfied. Great value for money. Great for those makeup addict or begginers who are on a budget.

The quads are great as it gives you an idea which eye shadows to combine. If you are a beginner and is afraid to experiment, these quads are great to start with. The thing that I don't like with these quads is that I have to use it carefully to avoid mixing the 2 eye shadows together during application.

The 12 lip colors are just okay. There's one lip color that I keep on using (see the arrow).

I haven't used the concealers or correctors. The consistency is creamy. I haven't used it under my eyes yet.

The least touched product in this makeup set are the glitter creams. I don't go out to parties or special events so I never used it. Though, I tried testing the product and the glitters were fine in texture and it doesn't come off easily when I rub it. Definitely, a good addition to the palette especially for someone who likes to attend special events or a themed party.

The eye liner is also okay. Nothing fancy as I can recall.

I don't carry this around during normal days. I bring this whenever I travel outside Cebu City be it overseas or domestic.

Final Verdict

Yes, I am totally happy with this purchase. For a price of SGD$24 "Super Duper Sulit na talaga ito". The quality overall is good and you get a lot of products in it.
