NYX Love in Rio Eye Shadow Palette in Caipirinhas on the Beach Swatches and Face of the Day

NYX has launched some new eyeshadow sets this spring.  Check out this trio in Caipirinhas on the Beach!

The colors are shimmery sea-foam light green,  a medium shimmery teal, and a medium shimmery blue.    I think of these as mermaidy colors.  So pretty!

The two green colors have excellent pigmentation, but the blue is a little sheer.  I do think all these colors can be built up for more intensity, especially if used wet or with a sticky base (like a NYX jumbo pencil).  They are a little stiff (not buttery), but perform much better than I expected.  Without a base this trio starts to fade slightly on my eyes after about 5 hours.
