NYX: Dark Shadows "The Crimson Amulet Collection"

That looks like such an awesome palette! I really want to see that movie as well! I need to check that palette out! (I wish NYX was more accessible in Canada)

Looks amazing! Can't wait to see your thoughts and swatches about them.

Ohhh! I SO don't regret buying that palette now. That is the most perfect palette I've seen to date. I love how it has just about everything I would need for touch-ups. I can't

believe it even has eyeliner! Sweet! Gorgeous, vibrant colors, too! I took a bit of a chance, though, since I've only really tried NYX's glitter roll-on eye shadow from my glam

bag. I thought it was pretty nice. 

Thank you so much for posting those pictures!! Now I truly know what to expect when I get it. SO thrilled!!

Btw, I'm new here but couldn't resist posting to this thread. The 1966 and 1991 Dark Shadows are my absolute favorites!! <3 <3 I hope the movie doesn't disappoint! :) ~DJ

That is a gorgeous palette! I love all of the brown/gray shadows, and the blushes look great too. I'd love to see swatches of this palette.

The palette design is awesome, but Im not impressed with the layout inside.  Reminds me of an ELF palette.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, but for a mid price palette, I expect a little more.  Will have to check it out in person.

Apparently Orly came out with a nail polish line under the same name?  Oh Zadi?! Zadi, my nail polish guru... please enlighten me? lol

I'm pretty sure I saw Dr. Hoffman wearing the pale pink color in the trailer. It's CUTE! I'm getting all four. What can I say? I'm obsessed with makeup. Especially

when it's devoted to my favorite fandoms. *giggles* 

It really looks like they've provided everything we could possibly need to reproduce some fabulous looks from

the movie/series. Well, everything but the false lashes the girls in the original so loved to wear. But myglam has the false lashes covered this month. *hehe* 

I haven't seen this movie, or heard of it before. Have I been under a rock? :(

That's okay, Hollie! Dark Shadows was a gothic soap opera that ran from 1966-1971. It was actually really dramatic, sad, hauntingly romantic and beautiful. Tim Burton has taken

it upon himself to recreate it in his own style. I believe his film revision is set to be a parody of sorts. It's due to hit theaters sometime in May. ;) 

I think it's on Netflix!

That is is! Both the '66 and '91 versions are on netflix and hulu. The original had over 1000 episodes. If you'd like to familiarize yourself with the series, 

The Revival (from '91) is your best bet, as it sums up the most important aspects of the series in just 12 episodes. Plus it's gorgeous. I love the costumes

and sets. 

The Revival is anathema to me, since I grew up watching the original every afternoon. Cheesy, yes, but fascinating!

I'm going to have to check that out, sounds like something I would LOVE! Thanks ladies!

Hollie, by all means enjoy!! Please come back here and tell us what you think. You can even pm me, if you like. I adore the show! It's actually how I met my husband, but that's a bit of a long story. :) <3

Has anyone else ordered this palette?? I'm thrilled to say that mine should be here by Wednesday!

Thanks! I see what you mean about some of the colors being faint. It's disappointing to hear that they all have fall out as well, but I do like the orange and the purple right next to it.

I know there's an eyeliner in there. How is that? 

If NYX is good enough for a drag queen it's good enough for me. For the price it's a great deal

Aww, too bad about the fall out, they looked so promising, and I know that NYX's singles have good quality. I guess dabbing some of the powder off before applying would be fine?

My sister got this last night and brought it over today for me to take pictures of.  I love it! I ordered right after she left.  I love the colors and I've been on a NYX kick lately.  Plus as a makeup and Tim Burton fangirl I had to have it. 

I haven't gotten to use them yet.  Hopefully I'll have my own to play with soon.  I ordered it this morning.  I've been wearing NYX shadows all week from a smaller NYX palette and I do get a lot of fall out.  I like the colors and the price though.  I've had good luck blending them as well. 

This palette reminds of Tarte for True Blood palette.
