NYX Doll Eye Mascara And Love In Florence Palette

It's no secret that I absolutely love NYX cosmetics, I'm constantly reviewing & raving about there products. I love the affordable price, the great quality & the fact that all there products are cruelty free.

So I can not explain to you how excited I was when NYX contacted me telling me I am there chosen 'blogger of the month' for October eeeek. NYX kindly sent me some products to review, so let's get stuck in

NYX have recently released three new eyeshadow palette collections 'Love in Paris' 'Love in Rio' & 'Love In Florence'. I received a palette from the 'Love in Florance' collection called 'Eat, love, be fab' containing five shadows created exclusively for this collection.

• Intense golden shimmer shadow with slight golden glitter reflect.
• Coral shade with a slight sheen to it, also containing a little golden glitter reflect.
• Matte brown shadow (that is lighter than it appears in the pallet) great for blending into the crease.
• Emerald green shimmery shadow (absolutely goooorgeous)
• Matte dark brown shadow with golden glitter reflects.

All five shades are beautifully smooth & rich in pigment. The one down side is that after an hour or so the colour does start to fade & isn't as intense, but this can easily be fixed by using a shadow primer.

To finish off the look I also received a Lengthening mascara from the Doll Eye range. All mascara's from this range contain a blend of natural oils, Vitamin E and  nylon fibers.

The thin hourglass wand is covered in natural bristles, and can really get to the root of the lash & reach those little lashes at the corner of the eye.

 When the wand is removed from the tube you can clearly see the wand covered in fibers, but when applied to the lashes I can't see any fibers at all so unfortunately they don't enhance the length of my lashes.

The consistency of the mascara is unusually dry, maybe this is because of the fibers. So you do have to layer the mascara, coating the back & the front of the lash.

Even though I don't see the fibers helping with lengthening my lashes, the hourglass shaped wand seems to create the lengthening effect itself.
