Tutorial: Office Look using NYX e/s...

apparently, most of my blog readers are office girls...and are requesting for "more" tutorials on neutrals, or anything that can be worn in the office without getting stares from your colleagues. i am not a fan of neutrals, but you know how much i love my readers so i'd be more than happy to give in to your requests :) one of them asked if i only use MAC e/s...and my answer is No. I only have 2 palettes (and wishing that i'll have more) but i have a variety of e/s brands from low end to high-end. i am not particular with brands...as long as i have my trusty UDPP or TFSI + paintpot, i am good. so here's a tutorial on (another) neutral look using NYX eyeshadows which i also love. i hope you like it!
