Review: NYX Perfect Filter Palette in Rustic Antique! (Swatches + Looks!)

New Fall Favorite?

Hey everyone! Today I'm reviewing the NYX Perfect Filter Palette in Rustic Antique. I know what you're thinking... "another warm toned palette?" I just can't stay away from those oranges and  cranberries, haha.
I wanted to see what the drugstore has to offer when it comes to warm tone palettes. The ones that I own are pricier than this one so I wanted to find something:  A. budget friendly and B. great formulation. I've played with it for a bit so let's get into my thoughts.

This palette is priced at $20. Kinda pricey for the drugstore but if you break it down it ends up being $2 per shadow which isn't bad at all! Plus NYX is a brand that runs a lot of sales (on their site and at Ulta) so you're more than likely to find it for cheaper.

This palette has all the basics when it comes to shadows: great transition and blending shades, one you can use to deepen your look and a nice selection of lid shades. I wish it had a deeper matte brown or matte black to take it to the next level when it comes to smokey looks. Aside from that I really enjoy this palette!

The colors are beautiful! I'm really impressed by the mattes because they blend so well! The two metallics on the top right are amazing too! ( intense pigmentation!)
Here are some looks I came up with using the palette:

Bottom line: This palette meets the criteria of being budget friendly and having a great formula! If you've been looking for a palette with warm tones that won't break the piggy bank this is a great option. Definetely look out for this one and keep your eyes peeled for a sale or coupon too! :-)

EOTD: Easy & Affordable Fall Eye Look Using E.L.F Cosmetics!

Drugstore Fall EOTD

Hey everyone! Today I have another Eye Of The Day (or EOTD for short) to share with you! :-) This one is also affordable and accessible because these palettes should be available at your local Target for $10 each. I used the ELF Cosmetics Mad For Matte 2 Palette and the ELF Cosmetics Sunset Prism Palette. They make the perfect pair because they're in the same color family and you have the best of both worlds when it comes to shadow finishes: an all matte palette and an all shimmer palette!

I went for an orange-brown as my transition and applied the second to last shade from the prism palette all over the lid for a beautiful pink touch. I then threw the matte plum in the crease and the shimmery champagne in the inner corner and Wah-La! ;-)

I love these palettes, definitely recommend getting them! Stay tuned for more posts coming soon and thanks for stopping by!
