Today I have a review and swatches of these eyeshadows. NYX cosmetics is not a brand where it can be easily found in Canada except Rexall. Even at Rexall is not that many products that they carry and these palettes are not one of those products.
NYX cosmetics is a pretty good brand, just like any other brand that they have they're ups and downs.
These palette is a purple fans dream and I'm one of them. This palette is called Velvet Rope ( what kind of a name is that?) I think that the name is very lame, at least they should've come up with something more meaningful. What do you think? I would've named it .... Hmmm purple obsession ... Or maybe?!?! Hmm I didn't know that name picking was hard ... Ok let's move on then lol
This palette comes with 10 eyeshadows ranging from the lightest to the darkest purple, also has a big mirror that can be used, as it is big enough for makeup application.
Here in this picture can be seen the different shading of the eyeshadows in details. Also you can see a slot for the sponge tip applicator that every company bothers to add into their palettes, even if they are useless, simply because these applicators doesn't apply makeup flawlessly.
First Row: is a very much shades of purple except the second eyeshadow which is a dark navy purple, which is kind of unexpected and not commonly seen, none the less is a very pretty unique color. The last color has some finely milled glitter which is quite transferable to the Application not like Shadowy lady by Mac in which all the glitter isn't transferable at all; and you just end up with another dark purple eyeshadow, more like black to be honest!
Second Row: this row has two shades of purple. The second eyeshadow in this row tends to lean into a frosty pinky lavender shade which is very pretty. The fourth color is a very dark black purple very nice to do a smokey eye. And the last one is a frosty pink.
Overall I like this palette a lot, the pigmentation is phenomenal in very single eyeshadow in the palette and there is simply no let down at all. I really recommend this palette if you have access to it for purchasing.
I bought this palette along with Champagne and Caviar palette from the same collection, I ordered it online from eBay and with shipping and all it cost about $18 -$20 which is not bad at all. I have mine for around two years so I don't know how prices has fluctuated during this time.
