Some of you may remember from my IMATs post that I picked up a few makeup boxes from NYX. One of them was the Winter in Moscow Set which includes eyeshadows, blush and lipcolours.
This set, along with the other NYX sets are perfect for travelling with the fab range of colours that are fantastically pigmented and convenient packaging (which includes an essential mirror).
As the weather is warming up, my natural inclination is to move towards bronze toned makeup. However this morning I wanted to have a quick go with some of the colours in this set to see what they would look like on me.
Due to my USELESS camera it was very hard to capture the smokey effect I had managed to create with some of the colours, I still took a few shots for you all to have a peek at though so you get the gist of the looks you can create!
What I would say is that the colours are slightly darker in person and are great for creating that really smokey wide eyed look.
I would definitely recommend this palette - particularly if you are going away and know you want to bring some heavier eyeshadows to create a more dramatic evening look. The set is £19.95 and can be purchased from the NYX website here.

As you know last week I attended London IMATs at Alexandra Palace.
It was a great experience from start to finish, but I definitely found it very tiring.
I travelled down with L from beautifullyaddictedto and we got there for 9.30am. We quickly got our wristbands and headed through the stalls to the room showing the YouTube Gurus talk/question and answer.
We listened to hints and tips about makeup and blogging and then we were off to go shopping! Sensible as we are we decided that we would do a complete tour of the stalls and then decide where we wanted to head back to to make our purchases (with the exception of the NYX stall where we just bought what we wanted there and then!)
There was such a variety of stalls including makeup stalls such as NYX, Illamasqua, MUFE, MAC, Inglot etc. I also noticed quite a few brush stalls and then there appeared to be a lot of prosthetics and body art type stalls also.
The atmosphere was slightly chaotic and I distinctly remember standing at CrownBrush and Inglot for quite a period of time just to try and see the products. After a while I gave up. There is only so long I will wait to look at some makeup and brushes!
Overall the day was a success although I didn't actually take any pictures that are are really worth putting up on the blog - it was just too busy.
You can see my purchases below though so you get an indication of what what there for the average beauty obsessed girlie! You can also see them on my IMATs Video here.
The Valentine's Day Look I created earlier on in the week was done using the MUFE and some of the NYX products. They will definitely be featuring on some future blog posts!
I haven't included the prices because they were all discounted on the day, however if you would like to ask about any of the products and what I paid on the day just comment below or send me an email.
