I used to love NYX before I got addicted to MAC shadows. I'm rediscovering my passion for NYX shadows. Some people don't like the gold sparkles, but for me, as long as I use a stippling/duo-fibre brush, I don't end up like a discoball. It's the perfect coral-pink that I'd hoped Orgasm, Deep Throat and Torrid would be but weren't (sadly, I used to own those colors but had to let them go). I am glad to include Super Orgasm to my little NARS blush collection.

These blushes look amazing on my skintone, so I decided to keep them. I swapped or gave away everything except seven: Angelika, Oasis, Sin, Matahari, Cactus Flower, Gina and Madly. I used to have a dozen NARS blushes, but realized that not all were flattering on my skintone. I finally got NARS Super Orgasm blush, a product I had been lemming for a while now. The shades are beautiful though and are must-haves if you are just starting to build your collection. It's not that Dame Edna has no products worthy of purchase, but it's just that I already own a lot of similar colors. I will definitely be getting Frozen Dream and Naked Frost - they are my kind of colors.Īs for Dame Edna, I didn't see anything that piqued my interest, but who knows, I might change my mind. They are gorgeously glossy, and to my mind, are not as sticky as the usual lipglasses that I have. The lipglasses from Chill, however, are beautiful. However, if you don't have the above-mentioned colors, the Chill collection can be a good start. If you have Black Tied, Knight Divine, Silver Ring, Gentle Fume quad from the Smoke Signals collection or any of the Holiday Smokey Eyes palettes, you can easily find something similar in place of the Chill eyeshadows, and the said shadows have better color payoff compared to Chill's. Another gripe is that apart from Arctic Grey, the other colors are easily dupe-able. I will definitely use this an inner lid or a highlight color. It has relatively good color payoff compared to the others, and the color is quite unique and beautiful. They would definitely work though if paired with a good colored base (like paints, shadesticks or paint pots), but I really expected more from the color payoff.

Chill has beautiful, neutral cool colors that are staples in any makeup traincase, but I am not too fond of the color payoff especially on an NC30 skintone like mine. Dame Edna sports products saturated with crazy, fun colors, while Chill is as tranquil as ice blue waters, showcasing colors an ice maiden I would imagine would have in her makeup arsenal. First impressions: these two collections are total opposites of each other. I checked out Dame Edna the day it came out, and here are swatches of some of the products including that of Chill.
