Re: NYX Products
Hi! Has anyone noticed the new large NYX palettes (78 e/s, 80something lip colours) at Cherry Culture? Are these available in drugstores in the US already?
Has anybody actually gotten their hands on any of these? I'm curious about the quality and particularly the pigmentation of the e/s, especially since the 10-colour palettes seem to have the occasional chalky and/or weakly-pigmented colour.
Sorry about all the questions, but curious minds want to know.

So sad, where will I get my cheapo NYX fix now?
Sojourner, I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it (apologies if I'm repeating anything), but besides cherryculture.com (with which I've had great shopping experiences also), you could also try the makeupgeek.com store.
The owner, Marlena, is also a Specktra frequenter, and although the size of her collection may not be as large as that of cherryculture's, it's quite decent anyway and the prices are comparable. Plus, service is speedy. I have nothing but praise for them.
HTH, and good luck!

No, I haven't seen those yet anywhere. But I second your question about the quality of the palettes! Hopefully they are not like the trios
On a side note, I was looking for the palette you were tlaking about and I found this:
Blog Archive Depotting NYX and Container
Does anyone depot their NYX singles (the square ones)? I am getting a few now (over 15) and am starting to think it will be much easier to have them all in one palette. But I am wondering how hard it is to depot them? Is it worth it? I am SO HAPPY I depotted all my MAC shadow singles (over 4 of the 12 pro palettes worth!) It made it SO MUCH easier to find them and travel with too.

Re: NYX Products
^Those do look amazing! Thanks for the pic and link! I hope the quality is good though. I am a bit skeptical of some of those big sets like that. The Sephora one was horrible quality and same with Ulta's blockbuster sets. I still have about 4 different Sephora ones and I never use them because the pigmentation just disappears
Let us know if you try these from NYX. I would love to hear any reviews

Re: NYX Products
Speaking of NYX, has anyone tried the Body Bronzer? It looks really nice but I haven't ever tried there bronzers or blushes for that matter. Any reviews on it?

Re: NYX Products
^Oh that sucks! I'm not sure what I will be getting, if not I might skip out till next month too, I know CherryCulture has 20% sales at least once a month, or if not pretty frequent. I was eyeing the lil makeup artist sets...But I will wait till others have input on those!

Re: NYX Products
So I just noticed that a lot of things I wanted are sold out on cherry culture. This is a good thing so I don't spend this month haha. I think because of the swatches everyone went out and bough mauve and natural lipliner!

Re: NYX Products
has anyone had any customer service issues with NYX? i ordered the starter kit A awhile ago. i got the kit, but two items were missing since they were out of stock. the owner told me to email her and let her know what i wanted to replace those items. i sent her one, but she never responded. this was about a month ago. i called a week ago to find out what happened with the two items i was suppose to get. i talked with a rep and she stated that they were shipping the items out to me and that i would be getting them in a couple of days. i have been home all week and haven't received anything. i am going to call them again today. i am so upset. one of those products i could have used for a job that i had. i need to be compensated for that. i spent a lot of money with that company. over $700.

Re: NYX Products
^I would try getting a hold of them one more time and tell them that you are going to do a chargeback if they don't either send you the missing items or refund you. Did you pay with credit card or your bank? You can just call your bank or Credit Card company and explain to them what happened and they will do a chargeback for you.

NYX is horrible at informing people right away that items are out of stock.
You should keep contacting them until your stuff is sent because THEY WILL FORGET and you will not get it. Trust me! I know.

They aren't looking for Reps lately. I was a Rep, they changed the rules... and for the bad... as if you were purchasing for an actual stores.

Re: NYX Products
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet but NYX is having a great sale!
I was all set to confirm my order only to see that shipping to me in Canada would be $60! (My shopping cart was only $30, for a measly 14 sale items) SMH.
To everyone else though, Enjoy!

Re: NYX Products
Another link for the Uk'ers and Europeans:
Cosmetics range by NYX Cosmetics from CheapSmells.com
I've never ordered from them, but thought some of you might be interested. Again, they're a bit more expensive than Cherryculture or ebay, but at least you can order from EU without worrying about customs. Delivery is £1 per item
