Well, here we go..... NYX Glitter Cream Pallet in Ocean Breeze

So, this is my first blog for makeup reviews.  I have always wanted to do this, so let's see how well this works.  LOL....


My first product up for review is NYX Glitter Cream Pallet.  The one I got is the Ocean Breeze GCP11.  This product has 5 different shades of glitter cream in it.  The first shade is a light blue.  I have found the shade very similar to a light blue glitter I have from MAC.  The next shade is more of an aqua. The third reminds me of the OPI nail color Mad as a Hatter.  (From the Alice in Wonderland collection).  The fourth shade is more of a purple and deep blue.  The very last shade is more of a teal.  
I originally bought this product for a fantasy makeup contest I am currently in.  My fantasy theme is a mermaid.  I use a lot of glitter on her, and thought this might work as well.  I will say that I was happy about how easily the glitter cream goes on.  You end up using way less that what I thought.  (I had tried Hard Candy cream glitter and had much difficulty with this issue.)  The only real problem I see with it is that the glitter does come off the skin rather easily.  I'm not sure if a mixing medium would help this.  If I can find some I will add to this review.  Overall I was satisfied with the product.  In my case it only has to be on for a short period of time.  Not sure if I would risk it for a "night look" due to the lack of staying power.  Any other questions about this product, just ask away!  Thanks for checking my blog out!
