Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I am in love with Nix'ie right now! The only thing is I can't figure out how to get the eyeshadows out of the palette! I got the complementary 6-e/s palette for signing up as a pro member, and I was wondering what shades they are. But I can't figure out how to get them out! I'm sure it's really obvious and I'm just dumb and totally missing something. XD

NIX'IE COSMETICS or ULTA?
HAVE ANY OF YOU tried the Nixie Cosmetics, and what do you think of Ulta Eyeshadows?

Re: NIX'IE COSMETICS or ULTA?
I have 34 of the Nix'ie Eye Shadows (and another huge order on it's way), and like 6 of their pigments. I LOVE them!!
The color in the pan is pretty much what you get on your eye. Obviously some have slightly better pay off than others, but they really are fantastic!!
If you want to compare them to MAC (since it seems most people know nothing but MAC, LOL!) Nix'ie products are the same quality, color pay off is the same, prices are WAY better.
Nix'ie eye shadows are HUGE and cost less than MAC. The eye shadow refill pan is 4.4g/0.16oz, and I think they are $12.50 without a discount.
The Nix'ie pigments are identical to MAC as well. The texture & consistency is exactly the same. I don't think i would be able to tell the difference. They have that same crumbly, fluffy looking texture. I have some odd colored ones (just to try something different & unique), but the color pay off is identical to MAC pigments.
The colors last on me for over 14 hours. The other day I actually had them on for over 24 hours! Yes over 24 hours!! LOL (Don't ask...) And they seriously looked as fresh as when I first applied them. I usually just use NYX concealer as a base, sometimes a MAC Paint Pot.
I have one of the eye shadow sticks from Nix'ie, too. Identical to MAC shadesticks, with the exception being that Nix'ie's are packed full of glitter. So, if you're looking for a sparkly, glittery look, the Nix'ie shadow sticks are the way to go.
I just placed an order for some of their lip stains & lip glosses, so I'm excited to try those. I will also have to get some of their blushes eventually, and probably everything else they have ;p LOL I'm seriously addicted to them now!
I have ONE Ulta eye shadow - not digging that at all. Very mediocre color pay off. It's not horrible, but there definitely are better options. But since I only have one, it's hard to really say how well the other colors work! Definitely worth a try I guess.

I have 6 palettes of their eye shadows, a bunch of their pigments, and one of the eye shadow sticks.
I have another huge order on the way (more shadows, and some lip glosses & lip stains)
I am completely addicted to Nix'ie!!
All of their eye shadows are excellent quality & fabulous color pay off. As far as I am concerned they are the same quality as MAC, if not nicer. The pigments are identical to MAC pigments, exact same texture, too!
The shadow stick is the same as MAC shadestick, except Nix'ie's is packed full of glitter & sparkle!
The Nix'ie eye shadow refill pans are 4.4g/0.16oz and cost like $12.50 without a discount i believe - HUGE compared to MAC shadows!!
I have actually worn some of the Nix'ie shadows for over 24 hours (don't ask! LOL) and they stayed fresh & looked the same as when first applied! And i usually just use a NYX concealer as a base, occasionally a MAC Paint Pot.
I will HAVE to buy more of their products to try - lip stuff & blushes are next on my list ;p

Hey, I'm in Ottawa and I ordered some NYX stuff from Cherryculture. I ordered like 10 of their ultra pearl mania loose shadows (they were really cheap) and I love them
. I just hate the tiny jars so i move the contents into sample jars.
My order got here in about 3 weeks. HTH

Here are some APPROXIMATE measurements of refill pans for four different make up brands I have:
AMP Cosmetics: 1 3/8" wide (36 mm)
Nix'ie Cosmetics: 1 3/8" wide (36 mm)
Make Up For Ever: 1 3/8" wide (35 mm)
MAC: 1" (26 mm)
I just did very crude measurements with a measure tape. The MUFE are slightly smaller than AMP and Nix'ie. You can put MUFE refill pans into AMP or Nix'ie Palettes, but you CANNOT fit AMP or Nix'ie refill pans into MUFE palettes ;p
And obviously MAC is the smallest of everything!
Nix'ie Eye Shadow Singles (no idea how to depot these easily yet!) are approximately: 1 1/8" (29mm) so they will not fit into MAC palettes, and won't fit properly into Nix'ie palettes either (unless you don't mind huge gaps between the pan & palette!)
Hope this helps!! =)

I have a bunch of videos on YouTube of Nix'ie swatches - shadows, pigments & the eye shadow stick. Just go to my videos & then do a refined search for "Nix'ie" or "Nixie" You should find several.

Actually, if this link works, it will show you all my Nix'ie videos:

I only have two MUFE eye shadows - bright purple matte ones. I don't have anything really comparable in the Nix'ie. The Nix'ie purples I have are more like MAC's purples - not quite as much color payoff as you want. They look really bright in the pan, but not quite so vibrant on your eye. They are pretty, but not that in-your-face overpowering kind of color. If that makes sense.
The MUFE purples I have give me very vibrant color payoff, but I hate matte, so I don't like them overly well ;p LOL
