The thing I have found with all of the NYX shadows I've tried so far, is that you REALLY need a primer with them. It makes them last much longer... They blend well and the colors are beautiful. I still think that MAC is better (if you can afford it). But NYX shadows are really pretty and better if you're on a budget
Here are the swatches of NYX Rust color (left) and the MAC Cranberry (right):
I like the Nyx one more, I think I need to buy this one....
Great thread, some of the MAC eyehadows like Humid, Stars N Rockets and some other one I´ve been wanting to ty but since I can´t efford them right now this is a very good idea to compre them with NYX. Now I have a good reason to buy some NYX as well....

Wow, I'mma go get NYX's rust instead of cranberry then! I was actually thinking about getting the MAC one for a while, but that falls through now. Thanks!
