Review: NYX Dreamcatcher Palette- Dusk Til Dawn

"A limited edition collection of eye shadows that will be the answer to your dreams."

Around mid-January I purchased this palette from the Ulta website for $14.99 with Ult'as 20%off coupon. The NYX Dreamcatcher Palette comes in three different sets:

• Dusk Til Dawn (picture shown above)
• Stormy Eyes
• Golden Horizons

About the Product:

• The palette comes in this pretty rosey-pink plastic packaging with clear round windows on top so you can easily see the shadows inside.

• The palette comes with 10 eyeshadows.
• Dusk Til Dawn palette comes with two matte shadows:
• matte light brown (great to use for the crease/ transition color)
• matte black (to use as a liner or darken the outer "V")
• And the other 8 eyeshadows are more on the shimmery/satin finish
• The purple shadow (on the very top left of the palette) has some micro-glitters in it
• The eyeshadow plate inside slides to the right to reveal a mirror and eyeshadow sponge applicator underneath! 

Arm Swatches:

three of the eyeshadows I used the most

• I have recently used this on a "Face of The Day" post here:
• 1 Palette Date: A Valentine's Day Collaboration

My Verdict:

• This has been my go-to palette since I got it last month!
• This has all the eyeshadows I need to do an everyday eye or smokey eye makeup look.
• The cream shadow with satin finish is just perfect to use as inner corner and brow highlight!
• The matte black and the purple shadows aren't as dark as I thought. The swatches took me a few swipes on the pan to get it that deep.
• to darken my outer "V" I use the dark brown shadows on the bottom row
• These are pretty creamy shadows and you can see from the swatches how pigmented they are!
• No fall outs.
• Blends easily.
• They may not be LoracPro eyeshadow quality but for a drugstore brand the color pay off is great! 
• tip: Pat on the shadow first then blend it afterwards. *patting helps to pack on the shadow on the lids and keep the shadow where you want it!
• I have never used this without an eye primer so I don't know if this creases without using any.

Overall this is a great palette to have. The shadows are pretty neutral enough that like I mentioned before you can use this as your everyday palette or for a nice smokey eye! Pretty much a very versatile palette. For the price, definitely a bargain for the quality of these eyeshadows! 

Have you tried any of these palette yet?
