Talk to me about NYX eye shadows or a better alternative
I went into Ulta yesterday and saw a really pretty eye shadow trio and I'm contemplating going back to pick up some of them. The colors looked good and pretty pigmented but I don't want to buy them and find that they aren't so great.
So what are your thoughts on their shadows?
Any colors you love?
I'm a former MAC addict and we are trying to save for Europe so ALL of my spending is being cut down significantly so I'm looking for cheaper alternatives.

My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
I was reading that some of the colors in the palettes aren't as pigmented. Do you find that you have to build them to get a significant amount of color?
I really liked them and for the price I'm thinking...why not? lol
I've heard good things about NYX. I have one of their palettes that I really like.

This is it, the Carribean Collection. Yes, I would say it's on the side of "more sheer" and very natural compared to say, IDK, Too Faced Naked Eye (which I also have and use about 50% of)? This is much more neutral and sheer no big sparkles.

I love their shadows. Some colors can seem a little powdery (you have to tap on the brush to get excess off) but the colors are pretty pigmented and have great staying power.
I have all neutral colored shadows, can't think of the names offhand.
I just used it and it's ok.. The colors are pretty sheer and I don't know that I would use it over something else I have. I don't hate it, but don't love it. I have heard good things though so a different palette would probably be better. I can PM you a picture if you want.
