I’d love to try the primer first! I’m always up try new primers, especially since I have large pores it helps me a lot to make the texture of my skin more even :))

Oh man! I would use the eyeshadow base first because I would want to use the purple smokey look kit next! I’ve never been able to get my hands on NYX before, and it gets raves for it’s price range, so I’d be stoked to try any of it :-).

I would try the HD Studio primer, i’m still on the hunt for my perfect primer and have failed to find one. I like NYX products a lot, so i would am very anxious to know more about this new HD line 😀

i’d definitely want to try the eyeshadow base. i don’t own any official bases, and i’m curious to see if they make a difference in my eye makeup.

I would LOVE to try the HD Studio Primer! I’ve heard great things about NYX and I have owned a few of their products, definitely been satisfied. Happy holidays too 🙂

If I won I would try on the HD Studio Apricot Grinding Blush!:)

The high-pigminted blush is said to give you great control over the product in order to achieve a more flawless application. Super excited for NYX HD Studio launch.

Ooooh, definitely want to try the Purple Smokey Look kit. I recently discovered lavender shades look good on my brown eyes (who knew? I thought these cool shades only looked good on blue-eyed ladies!). =)

Nude on Nude! I really wanted the UD Naked Palette, but it is always unavailable, so I decided I should get the Nude on Nude but that was also sold out.

I really would like to try the HD foundation because I don’t own any HD foundation and as someone who is darker complected than most it is kind of harder to get cheaper foundation in my skin color.

I would use the Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit first.
I’ve heard this is a good dupe for the MAC Holiday Neutral Quad that came out this year, so I would try this first since I did not pick up the MAC palette.

I also love that an affordable brand is launching HD products! I hope they compare to those of their higher end counterparts!

I will be so excited to try the primer! I have tried other primers and have been pleased but not impressed. I am excited to see how NYX holds up! I also love a good purple palette!

HD Studio Apricot Grinding Blush!

Very impressed with NYX keeping an eye on the high end trends and incorporate it into their more affordable selections.

I want to try the HD Studio Eyeshadow base first, because I have to wear an eyeshadow base so my eyeshadow won’t crease or fade throughout the day. I don’t wear eyeshadow without an eyeshadow base. Your eyes are the window to your so soul. My eyeshadow says alot about how I am feeling each day.

Eyeshadow base!! It’s my favorite kind of cosmetic because with the right eyeshadow primer you can make even cheap eyeshadow look pigmented and vibrant. Also, it annoys me a lot when I spend a lot of time on an eye makeup look only to have it crease in a few hours. A good eyeshadow primer that prevents greasing is an essential part of Antibes makeup kit.

I would definitely try the grinding blush first, I saw that on their website and it looked like a cool concept. I love the nude on nude natural eye kit!

Jess Avatar

teeeeeechnically it’d be the eyeshadow base because that goes on before any eyeshadow(: but I’d love to try out the nude on nude natural look it first!

I would love to try the nude on nude palette. I saw the swatches and they look like the UD naked palette (which I can’t afford). The colors in this Kit are beautiful especially the lip colors!

I’d love to try the HD Studio Primer! I’ve yet to try a primer, other than Benefit, and I’m curious what’s out there! Love NYX products! Primer goes first, so first thing I’d try!

First I would begin with the HD studio eyeshadow base and then vamp it up with the purple smokey look kit. I have fully embraced my inner diva by doing looks that make my beautiful hazel eyes pop and am no longer playing it safe. Life is too short! 🙂

Thanks for a chance to win such a delicious prize!

I would like to try the HD Studio Primer because I’m always looking for the right primer for my skin since my skin broke out really easily. I haven’t tried the primer for nyx yet.

I would definately try the eyeshadow base. My eyes are always oily and my eyeshadow crease! So trying something new would benifit me 🙂 Thanks Audrey

I would say the purple smokey look. But honestly I would probably try it all at once, one eye purple smokey and one eye neutral just to see how it looked.

Studio apricot grinding blush! The color looks beautiful & the texture seems so soft. Plus, it resembles Smashbox mineral blushes that I can’t afford. I’m hoping this is going to be a good dupe.

I would use the HD studio primer first because I really want to try a face primer but In Belgium no place sells them (MAC not counted) and I can’t online

I’d use the apricot grinding blush. I’ve been looking forever for an apricot colored blush. I used to have one as a teenager and could never find it again.

I would try the studio primer first, to see if it was as good as my beloved smashbox primer, so I could see if it was a cheaper alternative! But I’d love to use ALL of the products!!!

I’d have to say the grinding blush. I saw the packaging on the NYX site and it just fascinated me. I don’t know why but it looks cool. 🙂

It is time for me to update my makeup! I look forward most to the Nude on Nude Natural Look It, because it can transition from day to night easily.

The eyeshadow of course, primer is a close first, but you HAVE to know what kind of pigmentation the eyeshadow has! Obviously the more intense pigment vs amount used, the better the eyeshadow! THEN my priority is how well the primer keeps the eyeshadown “fresh”! Love the colors! Would love to try them!

I would love to try the HD studio eyeshadow base, I have very discolored eyelids and I’m always on the look out for something to neutralize them before I apply eyeshadow 🙂

purple smokey kit because i love all types of colors but the smokey looks are better because it makes me eyes stand out more and i look very pretty 🙂 thanks

HD Primer for sure! I’m still on the hunt for a good primer for my oily skin, and so far either it doesn’t work or makes my fdnt not that easy to blend. :\ need the primer!

I would use the “Nude on Nude Natural Eye Kit” first because I love nude/neutral eye looks and it’s something I’d be using a lot if I had it! I’m a total sucker for nude eyes, haha!

Nice giveaway! I really like NYX products, haven’t had a chance to try any of their blushes yet, so the Apricot Grinding Blush would find it’s way onto my cheeks as soon as it arrived!!
Happy Holidays!!

I am really looking foward to try the Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit because you can never have enough neutral colors in your collection and I really want to try NYX products.

i want to try the nude on nude because i heard it’s a dupe for the ud naked! i have the ud naked but i use it constantly so it’d be nice to have a cheaper alternative when colors start to get low 🙂

I would like to to try The Nude On Nude eye shadow. I’m the kind of person who think natural is better and healthy looking in a sort of way.

I would use the Purple Smokey Look kit. Purple tones have been “in” for a while and I feel like they would compliment my skintone well (NC25/NC30).

i want to try the Nude on Nude Natural Look It and the HD Studio Apricot Grinding Blush..more the apricot blush than the natural eye kit 🙂

I’d like to try the NYX HD Studio primer. The reason is because i’d always wanted to try the MUFE HD Primer but its too expensive so this would be a great alternative(;
Thanks

I guess I can’t say ‘all of them’? LoL

Probably the palettes, Nude on Nude or Purple… but if I got them I know I’d go crazy using all of them and figuring out new looks so 😛

Heather Avatar

All of them sound lovely, but I’d love the nude on nude kit. I actually need a nice kit that I could use everyday. I bet it’s also quite useful for an eyeshadow newbie like myself. 🙂

Merry Christmas!

I am excited to try the HD Studio Eyeshadow Base and HD Studio Primer! because I am an combination oily skin. I have spent enough money on high end products that don’t really work and NYX makes good quality cosmetics at an affordable price.

I’d love to try HD Studio Apricot Grinding Blush first. I always lean towards pink-toned colors, so I’m excited to see how an apricot color would fair on me 🙂

Wow is all i can say about the palette,Purple Smokey Look Kit , iv been experimenting with plummy purple lipsticks and glosses with a fair foundation and simple eye shadow, I have been looking for a palette like this for a while, think these colours are so beautiful and would be amazing with a pale lip colour! this would keep me occupied for hours 🙂

I would love to try the purple look smokey kit – I have seen tutorials by makeup gurus on youtube for this product but it is so hard to find NYX products in Australia – hardly anywhere sells them and if they do its one or two products!
