Review: NYX Paradise Glitter Cream Pallet

NYX Glitter Pallet is available in a number of colors online from Cherry Culture or instore at Ulta. I chose the Paradise pallet because it had a good mix of colors to try the idea with.

I raced through trying this product for the first time yesterday in order to be on time for my hair cut. You can see how it went on uneven.

One reviewer talked about using this as liner and having to go over it several times to get the glitter line even, but that it lasted all night. I have other glitter liners that are a lot easier to use. I don’t know that I would try this as liner. Maybe! She talked about using it to highlight on her face, arms, decolletage, etc.

I need to play with it some more, but meantime I looked good enough to race around town anyway!I got my hair cut today, and it surely needed it! Everywhere I went, someone mentioned how well they liked my eye makeup. The pink glitter is very becoming. I used my fingers to apply it.

Here it is on lips:
So far, I prefer it on my skin. It shows up more.

Using the white (clear) with multi glitter on the center of my lip.
My first thought, as I applied it, was that the glitter was too big for lips, but as it settles in, it’s not.

It’s very subtle here, but it would be less so with lipstick. And I could have picked another of the colors in the set, but I wanted to try one I hadn’t used yet.

How to remove it
It stayed on my eyes really well, even until morning. And it didn’t bother my eyes, the way some glitter does.

It came off super easy with a cut piece of MAC wipes. I didn’t have to rub, I just applied a bit of pressure going over it once.

Verdict:
The jury is still out on this product. So far, minerals with glitter are easier for me to use because I am more familiar with them.

The pallet has great colors and I will definitely try it again. There are still two more colors to try: gold and silver.

It comes with 1 dual-ended sponge applicator and 1 applicator that has a sponge on one end and a brush on the other.

I don’t see how you could use the brush. The product is suspended in a heavy gel.

It’s not particularly waxy, but it means the glitter stays put and needs help removing it. This is my first day trying it, so I can’t speak to taking it off, but it is staying put.

What do you think?
