Up next? Ten NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow pencils! These little cult favorites have made their way into sooo many makeup collections, it's not even funny. Their main use is for eyeshadow or lining, but most people use them as an eyeshadow base.

Hautelook recently had a nice NYX sale, so I was held at lipgloss-point to purchase a few items. I had to! I picked up two of their newest palettes in Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit and Purple Smokey Look Kit ($11 each). These little bundles of joy come with 9 eyeshadows, 2 lip colors and a tiny lip brush and sponge-tip applicator. They're both about the size of a MAC mineralize blush and to be so cheap, they pack a nice punch.

I have sooo many NYX eyeshadows it's not even funny. Because I'm dedicated to helping you guys out, I'm going to slowly swatch them in batches so those of you who are looking for great inexpensive ways to beat your face, can know what to expect. NYX is one of my favorite low-end brands, and they seem to get more things right than wrong. A while ago I bought several of their Ultimate Pearl Shadows ($7) when they went on sale (I don't remember how much I paid), and for the most part they're pretty damn decent.

I had a little Meow-Mix this morning, felt a lil "rawr" and decided to cave in and do a smokey cat-eye look for you guys. This look is extremely simple, consisting of just two colors, and can be substituted with anything you have! I picked up Lithe pigment (now sold out) from the Fabulous Felines collection by MAC last week and wanted to use it, so here we go...

Here's a lip color that would look amazing on pretty much everyone. It's NYX Black Cherry round lipstick, and it costs around $4. It's a beautiful deep berry shade with hints of blue, but it's not too cool. Warm skin tones can definitely wear this. This lip would look extra seductive on med-to-dark skin tones, and vampy on lighter skin tones (which isn't a bad thing at all).

Smokey eyes are probably the most popular way to pimp your eyelids. There are so many ways to smoke out your eye -- and not look like a panda in the process. Insert the NYX Winter in Moscow Smokey Look palette ($19.50); a handbook sized folding palette with a mirror, 2 blushes and 5 lip colors on one side, and 14 eyeshadows and applicators on the other side. I received this item to review from my good friend in lipstick, Linda. She asked that I review it so here we go :)
