NYX 10-Color Eyeshadow Palette Swatches Part 1: Brights!

I've gotten a lot of question about the colors I used in my Secret Garden look so I figured I'd throw up some swatches of not only the NYX Secret Garden palette, but all the 10-Color palettes I own.  I've had these for some time and they've remained on the top of my "So Glad I Have These In My Life" list since I bought them.  The grand majority of these shadows are velvety smooth and beautifully pigmented.  They include a good variety of matte, satin, and shimmer shades and vary from essential nudes/naturals to bright and vibrant.  For Part 1, I'm going to present the brighter palettes:  Velvet Rope, Secret Garden, and Haute Model.  Check out their swatches after the jump!

Secret Garden

This palette really does remind me of a garden with its lush variety of green shades on the bottom.  The top row features 4 peach-toned shades each with chunky glitter and a dark maroon with glitter as well.  I especially appreciate the included maroon as its a shade that I'm lacking in my collection.

For the Secret Garden FOTD I used the top middle shade (pinky-peach w/ glitter), the bottom second from right shade (dark matte green), and the bottom right-most shade (frosty mint).


Velvet Rope

Velvet Rope has the most vibrant purples of any palette I own.  They're blue-toned violets and also comes with a dark true navy, matte black, black with purple shimmer, a light frosty pink, and a violet pink.

Haute Model

I got this palette because I thought I would be a good, cheaper alternative to Urban Decay's Black palette.  Both of these palettes have black shades concentrated with colored shimmer.  I can't say whether or not it is, indeed, a substitute since I never got the UD one, but I can say this is a very unique palette.  The shimmer turns all these blacks into different shades and makes it perfect for use with smoky looks using colors.  You also get a bright electric teal and  light frosty pink.

So that's it for Part 1, check out Part 2!
