| NYX Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder in Lavender Steel, Snow Rose, and Twilight Tint. |
I ended up having to repress the Snow Rose, and Twilight Tint shades as the came in the mail broken but I did test them out before pressing them to make sure it didn't change the quality after pressing them. They fortunately behave the same after pressing them again as well with alcohol and 3 drops of glycerin. ;)

Product:
The formula is a finely milled mica aura pigment with a fine white base (but opal grey in the case of Lavender Steel), to make these shade more intense on bare skin and over other products. The pigmentation is intense with these shades and smooth to work with, with minor kick up in the pans.
Colour:
Lavender Steel is an opal-based mauve with an Aura finish.

{ultra-violet} Amethyst is much bluer-based than Lavender Steel.
{pink} Opal is also 100% dupe to Snow Rose.
{blue} Saphyre is a bit more aqua and more intense than Twilight Tint but the share the same refined shimmer size.

Verdict:
These are also really nice single aura powders and it so nice to see NYX as a drugstore brand come out with them! I feel like Snow Rose, and Twilight Tint work best with my skin tone, while Lavender Steel reads more like a blush than anything else but I'm not a fan of purple tone on my Pale Oliver skin for some reason.
The quality if definitely worth this splurge if you want to try unique face powders like these for both the cheeks and eyes.
