Nikkie Tutorials X Beauty Bay

Whilst being in lockdown, there have been a lot of things everyone has missed out on. Not just in the 

sense of having to wear masks when we go to the shops, but also a lot of events, launches and holidays 

have been cancelled. In the beauty industry there have very few new makeup products launching. 

Thankfully as things are starting to look up, even if it is slowly, there are new products launching just in 

time for autumn. To start of the autumn season in the right way, Nikkie Tutorials blessed us with a launch!

Us Glow babies have never been so excited. Nikkie Tutorials has collaborated with Beauty Bay to create a 

limited edition pressed pigment palette. Being the queen of makeup it came as no shock that this palette 

was going to be incredible. Filled with 20 shades, from bright to dark and including mattes, shimmers and 

duo chromes, making it possible to create any look that your heart desires. This is created with Beauty 

Bay's iconic high pigment formula with major lasting power whilst also being vegan and cruelty free.

Nikkie spoke about how she was nervous to collaborate with a brand again, after her first time, especially 

creating an eyeshadow palette. I'm so glad that she found faith and trust again in a brand, but even more so 

with one as incredible as Beauty Bay. Nikkie is very open with how scared she is and nervous in creating 

this, whist also talking about how she created the shades and names and my favourite thing that Nikkie 

spoke about, is how one of the shades (plot twist) doesn't swatch well, which a lot of people don't like to 

talk about the faults or downsides. Nikkie said straight away (in her video) that the shade swatches awful 

on the hand but looks insane on the lid which is why she included it instead of removing it.

This is split into 2 sides. The bright and the dark side, showing both sides of Nikkie's personalities. There 

are a few things that sets this palette apart from others. The packaging is beyond stunning. Again split into 

2 sides. The first side being a brighter more vibrant illustration, followed by a black and white side. Nikkie 

describes this as her temple. Inside the shades are split into 4 rows of 5 shades. On the brighter side there 

is a regular mirror, and on the opposite darker side Nikkie included a x2 zoom mirror, which is such a 

simple thing to include in an eyeshadow palette but something that I've never seen done before.

I've never tried Beauty Bay's own brand so I didn't know what to expect when it came to the quality of this 

palette, and without this I probably would've never tried anything from them. Im glad this launched as I've 

now got my eyes on a few more products from them, that I'm looking forward to even more so because of 

the quality. Each shadow is velvety smooth to the touch and applies evenly to the lid and blends out both 

effortlessly and seamlessly. I never expected any less from Nikkie, but this definitely exceeded my 

expectations. This is available only at Beauty Bay for £25 and as of now there are no dates for a relaunch.
