(review) Revlon eyeshadow 580 FREE SPIRIT

I had to go over these swatches (rubbing) a few times to get color payoff, they apply splotchy.

I used these colors over NYX "eyeshadow base with pearl" (there's a little shimmer). I used the tan color on my brow bone, black in crease, blue on my lid and light blue in my inner corner.

WARNING: trying to blend any of these colors will make the pigment disappear and you will be left with a "smoky" eye mess!

I even tried applying the eyeshadows with a damp brush and the color payoff sucked.

The black is usable but not blendable; it goes on strong so use a light hand.

The darker blue has some pigment but it doesn't blend well, very patchy!

The tan color is barely pigmented, invisible on my pasty skin... WTF

The light blue color blends out to a chalky greyish hue. Ugly.

haul: NYX Cosmetics and credit card fraud

 

I like NYX makeup (eventho quality has one downhill since L'Oreal bought them)... but I do NOT recommend ordering from NYXCosmetics.com. There were fraudulent charges on my credit card, customer service doesn't exist, and shipping took over 2 weeks. If I ever buy NYX makeup again I will only do it at Ulta when it's on sale.

Credit Card Scamming: I ordered from NYX cosmetics & days later found extra fraudulent charges on my credit card from L'Oréal, YAY!! So my card number wasn't hacked or stolen online, NYX was the criminal trying to steal from me. BUYER BEWARE! **Also, because NYX's customer service sucks you will need to contact your credit card company to get the fraudulent charges removed.

NYX Customer Service: I messaged NYX on their website and never got a message back. I wrote to them on Facebook and a week later they responded "contact our customer service on our website"- HA! I also tried calling NYX but never reached a human. So basically they ignore customers, yay.

NYX Shipping: I didn't get a shipping notice for 2weeks, then my package arrived 3 days later. WTF.

Missing Items: an eyeshadow was missing from my order, according to the package invoice slip apparently it was out of stock and I was not charged for it-- but why wasn't I notified via email before shipping?! RUDE

So finally here's my haul:
Concealer Stick: Porcelain, Lavender (NOT WATERPROOF!)
Round Lipsticks: Haute Coutour, Gem, Lip Du Jour, Athena, Rose Bouquet, Sash
Xtreme Lip Cream: Absolute Red, Dolly Girl
