My Experience with NYX ES 96 Hot Pink Eyeshadow:

Packaging:
Nyx single eye shadows comes in a cute little rectangular packaging. The front is transparent to help you see the shade clearly. It opens and shuts with an audible click. Once locked, it doesn’t open up if kept in your purse or handbag. I like the simple packaging.

Color/Pigmentation:
The reason why I bought ‘Hot Pink’ is that, I knew I could easily double it up as a pretty blush :p From outside it looked like a beautiful mauvy pink shade with blue shimmer and so, I picked it up. There wasn’t any tester around, so I judged it just by looking at it. When i came home and swatched it, it seemed very hard and the color just did not show up no matter how much product I used. The blue shimmers were quite big to call them ‘shimmers’. I would rather call them glitters. They moved everywhere making the swatch look like a glittery mess.

Texture:
This one is very hard and not at all smooth like the previous eyeshadows. It is rough but it does blend easily. I am really not a fan of its texture. It applies very patchy and you have to blend it to get the color distributed well. While you do that, the glitters spread everywhere instead of staying put.
