| First of all, I want to give credit to Arashi, Jessica, Chic_Makeup, Choo_chiu_train, Sweetpea, swtaznlady, Feifei, Nessa, Sugabum and Dark Kunoichi for their contributions to this project. I realized how difficult it was to capture the true colors of these products when I tried to photograph them under all kinds of light settings via crappy digital camera. You guys did a great job with your swatches and you deserve big kudos for it! (also, pls let me know if I got your names and photos mixed up x_x;; )
Secondly, I want it to be known that this entry is intended to be ever-changing, depending on those who submit more swatches in the future or those who wish to update certain swatches. So, this entry is not finalized.
Please continue to submit contributions and I will update this entry in accordance. Naturally, I’ll notify you guys of the update as well. Also, suggestions and feedback on how this entry should be organized are more than welcome. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this and I sincerely hope that this entry is a lot of help to those considering ordering NYX products online.
This is for those who are interested in purchasing NYX but don’t know where to start because the swatches they show on the websites tell us nothing and many of us can’t access the products anywhere else. My personal favorite online source for NYX is www.cherryculture.com but you can also find them on www.nyxcosmetics.com and a handful of drugstore makeup sources.

Every swatch is so helpful! I’m waiting for the time they have it BOGOF at ulta. I don’t like paying shipping when I can’t buy the minimum amt for free ship. Those jumbo pencils at my ulta have been tampered. It’s annoying. |
| the purple looks like bruises lol, these photos are helpful |
| thanks so much for the swatches, girls! they’re so helpful...i think i may have to end my makeup hiatus... |
