Reader Question

Q: Vanessa - how do you like the eyeshadows from nixie cosmetics? I am thinking of buying some of their shadows. Does the nixie shadow pans fit into a mac palette? thanks!
_____________________________________________________________________________
A: The Nixie eyeshadows are awesome, and HUGE! The color payoff (pigmentation) is equivalent to MAC. And NO the Nixie eyeshadows DO NOT fit in the MAC Palette! The MAC eyeshadows are very small so it can only fit the E.L.F quad palettes or their own MAC 15 pan palettes (which I am selling as well as blush palettes, email me for info). You MUST order the Nixie Palette itself for the Nixie eyeshadows, ULTA eyeshadows DO FIT in the Nixie Palettes as they are the SAME exact size. To gauge the difference in size, look up at the banner on top of this blog, the MAC eyeshadows are in the black palette on the top left of the banner, and the ULTA/Nixie eyeshadows are on the right and are much larger.

Nixie Palette Arrived!

My palette from Nixie arrived yesterday and I am so unbelievably happy that it fits all my ULTA eyeshadows as well!

I also went to the MAC counter today and they were doing make-overs for their newest collection "smoke signals". I just picked me up their eyeshadow in "Freshwater", I also wanted their pretty neutral brown eyeshadow called "Patina" but they ran out. :( So i'll try the MAC Store in Woodland Hills....

My Nixie Palette:




A little palette happy....

NIXIE and ULTA Cosmetics

So I figured out that I can fit my ULTA Eyeshadows along with my Nixie Eyeshadows in the Nixie Well Palettes, so I begun depotting all my ULTA eyeshadows to put in the palette and I am quite pleased that they fit perfectly, which means I can get more ULTA eyeshadows!

So far I bought: Gold Leaf, Amethyst, Gold Olive, Marble, Lustre, Turquoise, Camel, and Sterling. Need to buy Peacock and Cashmere.
