NYC IndividualEyes in Smokin Blue and Smokin Green - swatches and review

I am loving how the cheaper, drugstore brands are really stepping up their game. I got these 2 palettes for under $5 each, and am pretty impressed with the quality.


The first one I reviewed is Smokin Blue.

Each palette comes with 4 shades, a primer and highlighter.

This one includes a light beige, light greige, medium golden brown and a dark plum-brown. Some interesting colours compared to other palettes for blue eyes I have seen (no bronze or blue).



As you can see, the colour pay off is not too bad! These are swatched on bare skin, not using the primer. I used the shadows for an eye look one day, and the primer does enhance the colour even more.

The second palette is Smokin Green. I got this one for my sister since she has green eyes.


This palette includes a shimmery white, light grey-violet, a wine coloured purple, and a dark grey-purple.



Colour pay off is great here too. I love these colours, maybe even more then the blue ones.


Here is the primer and highlighter. The primer is a good colour, matches my skin tone. It worked pretty well, lasting about 5 hours without any creases or smudges.

The highlighter is great, super sparkly and pretty :) I love these types of shadows.

Considering how cheap these palettes are, I am pretty impressed. I am going to post a look I did with them soon.

So, what do you think?
