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.

Rock & Republic has been selling their entire cosmetic line for 50% off for quite some time (not much is left).
