Collab w/ Nylon x Memebox
Nylon celebrated their 16th birthday by giving away the #ItGirlPalette to its surbscribers! I was also one of the lucky ones who received the palette to test out and play around with. :) Love Memebox's packaging; it is always consistent and comes with the palette bubble wrapped, pink shredded paper, and new samples!
The packaging and the exterior of the palette is super cute! Love how smooth and clean the exterior looks, and this palette comes with a double sided brush to use on the eye shadow colors. There are six smaller colors that consist of rosy and neutral shimmery colors, and a matte white called "Lilo" that can be used for the base and/or highlight of your eyes. "Paris" and "Mischa are darker rosy colors, and "Lana" and "Nicole" are nice, neutral browns that are perfect for everyday use. "Mary-Kate" is also a neutral color, but more towards a light forest green that is a really nice complement to the browns. The two larger colors on the side include different variations of pink; one which is the iconic bright pink NYLON color that they named "Sweet 16," and the other a glittery light pink called "The Moment" that is the perfect highlighter for the inside of your eyes.
The pigments on this palette are really nice; the colors stayed on my eyes all day and did not fade whatsoever. The colors of the palette are named after their most iconic It Girls, which totally added to the theme and in my opinion, pretty unique. I started with the "Nicole" on the middle and outer lid of my eye forming an outer V, then added the "Lana" at the crease. After blending those colors, I added "Mary-Kate" to the middle of my lid for a pop. I then finished off with "Paris" on my inner lid and "The Moment" under my eyes for a highlight. I then used a little bit of the "Sweet 16" for blush on my cheekbones.
When the sun started to set, I added a little more color for brighter eyes that would pop out more at night. I added "Mischa" to the crease and outer V, and finished off the look with more blush and red lipstick.
I had so much fun playing around with this palette! I love the variety of versatile colors; you get a nice combination of neutral and rosy colors that you can use separately or even combine for a more playful look. I definitely want to try using "Sweet 16" on my eyes for a more intense look in the future! This would be a great go to palette for everyday eyes, and you can use the code 'NYLON4' for $4 off the palette or 'NYLON15' for 15% off any order containing the palette (i.e. mystery boxes).
