NYX Love in Paris Eyeshadow Palette in Mon Cherie Swatches and Mini Review

NYX introduced a new selection of eyeshadow palettes this past spring, but I just recently got to try a couple of the "Love in Paris" palettes which have nine shadows.  I have Mon Cherie to show you today.

These shadows are not chalky or powdery, and most are decently pigmented.  Some are more buttery than others, but they all perform better over a primer.

I swatched these both without and with primer (Urban Decay primer Potion), so you can see the difference it makes.

Far left row--top: shimmery reddish brown - soft, good pigmentation

                    middle:  shimmery orangey copper - soft, excellent pigmentation

                    bottom:  matte brownish black - a little stiff and slightly sheer

Middle row--top:  bright pinky purple - soft, decent pigmentation 

                   middle:  glittery forest green - kind of sheer (much better with primer)

                   bottom:  shimmery pink pearl - sheer

Far right row--top: glittery navy blue - kind of sheer (much better with primer)

                      medium: white with gold iridescence - soft

This is a lovely little palette.  It has a great selection of jewel tones, neutrals, and highlight colors.
