Hi there! Today’s post is about a little eyeshadow palette which I bought a while ago. It’s NYC Metro Quartet Eye Shadow 796B Queens Boulevard. I picked it up from a local bargain store (can’t remember which one) for either 99p or £1. In other words – it was super cheap, and I couldn’t resist. 🙂
As you can see, this eye palette is a small compact that comes with a tiny double-ended sponge applicator. And there are four eyeshadows in this palette. Shade 1 is a shimmery taupe. Shade 2 is a mix of blue and violet. Shade 3 is a shimmery champagne colour (highlighter). And shade 4 is a violet-tinted fuchsia.
The eyeshadows blend nicely, but they’re not very well pigmented. However, I really like the shades, so I don’t mind putting a little more effort into my eye make-up. And since this eye palette was £1 only, I can’t really complain. 🙂
Oh, and here’s a photo of what the eye palette looked like before I opened it!
Any comments? Feel free to get in touch! And thanks for reading! 🙂

Haven’t used NYC eye shadows in YEARS. I’ve read the general consensus is that the pigmentation is lacking and they don’t last well on the lids. Too bad – they need to up their game like Wet n Wild did!

I think it’s hit and miss with NYC. But I know I’ll be buying whatever looks nice for £1! 😉
