NYX Ultra Pearl Mania - Various
Rating: 4
Price: 5 (you can get 'em for 0.99 right now at CherryCulture.com!)
Packaging: 1
Would you Repurchase? Yes

This is NYX's version of pigments. I am pretty impressed by these little powders, about the size of a large sample. I purchased them in Oro, Walnut and Sky Pink and I am not at all disappointed. They're smooth and shiny, very pretty. They would be great for someone curious about pigments or just otherwise looking for an inexpensive alternative.

These are great! I have tried Nude and Oro so far and they are every bit as good as MAC pigments. They blend easily, good colour payoff and are not overly glittery. Just a nice shimmer. The only annoying thing is the packaging, it's tricky getting your brush into the little jar. But for 99 cents I can live with it.

I bought one of these maybe 3-4 years ago. And I have only used it a couple times (nothing to do with the makeup, I just barely use half of my collection). Everytime I think of giving it away I swatch it on my hand and I can't do it. The color is just so gorgeous...I'm thinking of pressing this because it is really hard to use loose, with the little bottle.

Re: NYX Ultra Pearl Mania - Various
I have just about all of these. and at cherryculture.com theyre only 99 cents. But they are extremely pigmented . I use them wet and you only need a little bit , theyre amazing.

Love these. I bought Mink and Fanta and they last forever over UDPP and the color payoff is amazing. I just recently bought the other 22 from cherryculture.com and I'm so excited to get them. As others have mentioned, the packaging is challenging, and I wish they would have matte versions of the colors as well, but they are a bargain!

I got all 24 colours for $15 off eBay, and I love them! They all have a shimmer to them, but they're so pretty and you can blend them with practically anything. I use UDPP and/or my Faces Metaliglow as a base, and they stay on all day long. The packaging is absolutely crap though. I bought a lot of 5g jars from eBay to put them in because honestly, you can barely get any product out of them without spilling all over.

My only compliant is I wish they had more colour variety like the single pots. They only have 1 green (lime). Most colours are blues to pinks/rusts.

I purchased these off Ebay, all for $25. They have good color payoff and I think they are a great buy for the price but wouldn't purchase them again (they should last for a while). I think I only used them a few times and don't completely like the application. They go on smooth but if you pack too much on, it may get cakey and crease (maybe its just me or the base/ primers). I also don't like the fact that there are too many similar colors, like the charcoal and the black pearl are very similar in color. The packaging is horrible and you also can't press them like MAC pigments.
They are still something to look into buying if you can't afford MAC because of the price and the color payoff.

I really like these pigments for the price....you can't beat it. I do have a few issue with them though..One is the packaging, they are difficult to get out and when you do, you have a lot of wasted product. Two..I wish they'd make the cap "hollowed out" so you can use it to dip your brush into to get product more effectively.. Three, some different finishes would be nice... like matte or satin for example.
They offer great colors, some are similar but for .99...I'm not mad..lol.
