NYX Java Chrome Eyeshadow



I was just strolling in Garuda Mall the other day when my eyes fell on this temptress..NYX loose pigments!!!

For the make up uninitiated this would be a loose mineral powder which basically arms any make up addict to go to explore beyond the said norms...meaning you can experiment with this much to your hearts content.

I color I selected is called Java Chrome Eyeshadow.Here is a photographic representation of it.


It is an iridescent golden greenish loose powder that can be applied as an eyeshadow. I however had other ideas.

Lips- I mixed it a little vaseline and voila I have a lovely lip gloss at my disposal.

Highlighter- The same goes to highlight the eyebrow bone

Bronzer- This is the best of all. It acts as a bronzer when applied to the apple of the cheeks. Gives it a nice sun kissed complexion. This would also do well for night time looks.

Price: 480 INR

Good reasons for buying this:

1. You can experiment with loose pigments
2. Only a little amount is needed to blend in
3. The greenish golden shimmer is amazingly radiant and gives the face a nice sun kissed complexion.
4. It does not settle in the fine lines of lips and eye lids.
5. I have sensitive skin and there were no break outs or irritation

Now for the not so good reasons:
1. Its difficult to take the product out from the jar. Its advisable to use a plastic spatula or spoon rather than using a brush as the latter has a lot of fall outs.
2. Availability of the brand
