NYX Nude on Nude palette!

I have heard a little bit around the internet about this new nude palette by NYX Cosmetics called Nude on Nude. This palette comes in a brown plastic case with "20 Deliciously Gorgeous Eye Shadows" and "10 Perfectly Chosen Lip Colors for Nude on Nude Look" I snagged this beauty for $24.99 at my local Ulta store.





As you can see from the picture, the lid opens up to reveal the 20 shadows, and a sliding drawer reveals the lip glosses. There is a thin mirror under the lid that is the length of the case and little windows to see the top row of the shadows. I wasn't really interesting in the lip colors, but the shadows seemed like a great alternative to the Naked palettes by Urban Decay. Though they are not dupes, they are similar.

There is a wonderful mix of matte and shimmer shadows in this palette. 13 shimmer and 7 matte.
The colors are mostly cool tones, but there are some warmer colors to choose from. The color payoff is great and lasting. I do pair it with my NYX HD eye primer.

These lip colors were just fine. Not sticky but not amazing. 
They would be nice to layer over a lip stick, though.




As a bonus, they give you two mini brushes, a double ended lip brush, and double ended eyeshadow sponge applicator. I don't plan on using the lip brushes, but the sponge applicators might be nice to have in a binde.

Overall, I am impressed with this palette. It has quality and quantity for a small price.

Have you heard about this affordable palette? Do you like it?
