I asked how the Nyx compared to the Pasiqea and Ellie was the one who answered my question and then told me she would just add some free samples of all three to the order I had just made, since none of the three were on her site yet. Sure enough, when my order arrived I had samples of all three included.
Again Ellie is soooo busy, plus she's been sick, but you can tell she really cares about her customers and loves what she does and her products are I believe some of the best stuff on the market. I spent over $100.00 for my first order, then made several smaller orders before I found my foundation match, I then spent almost $200.00 during her recent Fairey Day Sale and am already making a list of stuff I want from her Christmas in July Sale. By the way, during her Christmas in July Sale she is giving away free gifts every week with any order, plus with the code JULY15 you get 15% off your order and she's giving free shipping for orders over $50.00 after the discount. Hopefully she's gotten the kinks worked out of her slow shipping problems, but even if she doesn't, I'll wait for her stuff. It's worth it! Don't even both ordering a sample of her Whipped Cream or Whipped Strawberries Topping. Just go ahead an order a full size of them. They are fantastic. Again the price has gone up on them a couple of bucks, but the size has also gone up from 20 grams jars to 30 gram jars, because everyone was using so much of them. I also love her Angel Silk, Coca Silk, and Butterscotch Silk. In fact, all of her Finishing/Primer powders are great, as are her foundations, eyeshadows, and blushes.
One more thing, I don't know if it's a permanent thing or not, but on my last order, I ordered a bunch of full size eyeshadows. This time she sent them in I guess about 5 gram jars with sifters, but the jars were those stackable screw on jars. Meaning that if you go on vacation you could pick out the colors you wanted, take the caps off, and screw them all together or in groups, so they wouldn't all be loose in your makeup bag. I thought that was a very nice feature. They are the nicest jars I've ever gotten from any company. Again, though, I don't know if she's going to be using these jars all the time. My first couple of orders had just regular jars.
