NYX Cosmetics Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder Review

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Thank you, NYX Cosmetics for sending me these items as a part of a PR package. It’s been a joy to try them out!nyx cosmetics highlighter, nyx cosmetics duo chromatic illuminating powder, nyx cosmetics duo chromatic illuminating powder swatches, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver fashion bloggers, NYX Cosmetics Snow Rose, NYX Cosmetics Synthetica, NYX Cosmetics Crushed Bloom, NYX Cosmetics Lavender Steel, Nyx Cosmetics Twilight Tint

Lately, it’s seemed like everyone and their mom, and their mom’s dog, has been hopping on the chromatic trend. With the whole unicorn craze taking over (speaking of which, I shared my list of unicorn approved beauty products) it makes sense that these shiny, duo-chrome products are also taking over. As someone who loves beauty, makeup, and creating new looks (as you can see on my makeup and beauty youtube channel!) I was super excited to try these products out, and today I am even more excited to share them with you. So, if you’re looking to duo-chrome up your beauty routine than keep on reading!

NYX Cosmetics Chromatics Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder Review

Packaging:
The packaging is quite simple. It is just a plastic compact which holds .21oz. The packaging does not include a mirror, and overall is very basic. Considering these duo-chromatic highlighters are just $12.99 (CA) though, it is understandable why the packaging is such a minimal design. Texture: While overall I do like these powders, I will say they are a bit dry and could appear a bit powdery on the skin if you don’t blend them well. I would also recommend finishing up your look with a finishing spray to ensure you’re adding a bit of moisture into your look at the end. That way, you’ll really meld your look together. Cost: In Canada, you can purchase these at London Drugs for $12.99. In the USA, they are available at Ulta and Target for approx. $7.99

NYX Cosmetics Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder Shades

In the pan, it appears on the white/silver side but once applied it has a strong and bold blue finish. Sadly this highlighter broke while it was being sent to me, so the image I am sharing with you really doesn’t showcase how beautiful this colour is – sorry!

This highlighter has a soft cream look in the pan, but when applied it shows a strong pink sheen. In the daylight, this colour shines as a pink/lavender rather than just a pink. It’s really gorgeous.

When applied this highlighter has a deeper magenta pink/lavender highlight to it. This one is slightly more dramatic than Snow Rose, but it still works really wonderfully on fair skin tones.

This coral toned highlight shines a beautiful orange-gold sheen when you turn in the light. I really adore this highlight and think it will be particularly gorgeous during the summer. I also found it worked really beautifully when mixed with Snow Rose.

It’s a really beautiful shade to look at, and then it packs a punch of rosy pink and peach highlight to it. This one is surprisingly wearable for fair skin tones considering how dark it looks in the pan, and I think it would be really gorgeous on darker skin tones as well. This colour definitely makes it into my “favourites” list.

    Awesome! That pink rose looks really nice. I like a very subtle look so that one would be great.

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛

I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the loss and illness that so many have experienced from C. It has been an extraordinarily hard two years for many, many people, for all sorts of different reasons and it is not my aim to diminish any of them. What I am trying to express is that we are at a breaking point societally. 

If we continue to move forward with coercion, mandates, restrictions, and divisive passports based on fear (or a hope) then we risk setting precedents that we may not be comfortable leaning on in the future. We also risk dividing our society to such a degree that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to ever bring back together. Despite all of the debates, arguments, and comments made over the last few years, I do not believe that deep down Canadians want to live in a state of perpetual division.

If this is not the time to unite and end these mandates, when is? It is our systems that are broken, and they have been broken for a very long time. We all know this. Let's unite and fix them, and more together 💛

Creating our own peace ☮️

Nearing the end of 2021, one thing that Jer & I wanted to prioritize was creating our own peace. Life has been exhausting for the last long while and, like most people, our mental well-being suffered from the current state of Canada. We knew we needed to make some changes, add something to our lives to remove us (even temporarily, now and again) from the chaos that is now the “new normal”. So, we began making road trips around BC to find our very own home away from home. I feel immensely lucky to now have this remote sanctuary in our lives. It is somewhere we can go when life gets too overwhelming, somewhere we could live eventually if life continues to be overwhelming. In just the first few days here, I’ve already felt a shift in my mindset. I feel incredibly lucky to have this place and already it feels like home. 💖
✨Growing pains✨ . . . 2021, for many of us, w ✨Growing pains✨
. . . 
2021, for many of us, was a year of growth. Some of it was painful, most of it inspiring, and all of it necessary. Sometimes growing means needing to shed the older versions of ourselves and sometimes that can be difficult or cause a loss in friendships or relationships. It can be challenging - believe me, I get it. But, anything or anyone who couldn't respect your growth then won't respect your future growth. While growth can be painful it is not nearly as painful as the dull consistent ache of feeling stuck.
