This is your tax dollars at work, people.

As some of you may know, Jacquie and I work together, and for the first time in a year or so, we are sitting together again. This is an excellent excuse to do some important work-related investigations such as the difference between colours in NYX singles and NYX trios (we did it on our tea break, honest).

This is Champagne - you'll have to excuse the rubbish quality of the photos because they have been taken on my iphone in cruddy office lighting with the blinds closed to keep the heat of the Adelaide summer out. However, you can still see that they are different.

And this is Salmon - it's a bit harder to tell in this picture because it's crap, but there's definitely a pinker tint to the single eyeshadow shade.

I am baffled about why NYX would do this. I think I'm going to write to them and ask.
