Nyx Dream Catcher Palette in Stormy Skies

Hi :) 
Today I am doing a review for one of the Nyx Dream Catcher Palettes. The one I purchased is called Stormy Skies. I randomly saw these palettes at a Target I went to and they looked so pretty I had to pick one up. There was 3 different ones and I had a hard time picking between them. Also, since it was called Dream Catcher Palette, I had to have it. LOL. 

I believe this was $14.99. I really am trying to stop buying palettes because I have so many, but this was so cheap that I couldn't resist.

Here's one taken with the flash. 

About this palette-
There is a mixture of matte and shimmer shades in this. Most of these are cool toned shadows, and I was drawn to it because of the pretty taupey shadows, and I loved that it offered some purple, blue, and gray as well. 

Swatches for the top row.

My thoughts-
-The pigmentation on this wasn't great, but that is pretty expected when's buying Nyx eyeshadows. They do look a little better with a primer underneath. 
-Even though the colors look beautiful, when applied they kind of blend together and look blah. 
-I was a little disappointed in this, because it looks so beautiful. 
-However, this palette is good for a light, natural look for days you just want to throw something together quick. 

I own a few Nyx palettes and I think they are pretty hit or miss. I like some, and I don't like others. This Dream Catch Palette was okay for me, but I don't think I'll reach for it a ton. For the cheap price, it's definitely something you can work with if you don't want to spend the money on a high end palette!
