Nyx mega shine lipglosses

Middle photo L-R: Natural, Smokey Look, Nude Pink, LaLa


Natural - Probably the most pigmented out of them all, Natural is a little too dark on my pale skin tone for me to totally agree with it. 10/10 for pigmentation though, I love it when lipglosses change the colour of your lips and are not just semi-opaque!

Smokey Look - Much more of a sheer finish than Natural. I would like this a whole lot more without the shimmer, works great over certain nude based lipsticks.

Nude Pink - Gorgeous colour, fair pigmentation. Sometimes on me this looks a little bit more bubblegum pink than a nude pink, but I think it's great and really makes my blue eyes pop. A gloss to just throw in your handbag and go!

LaLa - Perhaps my least favourite. Looks lovely in the tube but just coats your lips with a slight pink gloss and a bit of shimmer. I had a little play around and paired this with a slick of Mac's Baby Sparks, gives it the extra something something that it needed!

Note that all these lipglosses carry a strong, sherbet like smell, which you can also taste a little bit. I prefer as little scent as possible but would choose the sherbet smell over the god awful Nars one! As always Nyx is a brand I wish was a little more readily available in the UK. For now I buy all my Nyx products from Beautyjoint.
How do you feel about Nyx?

- NYX Jumbo eyeshadow pencils

I am SO SO excited to be writing about these i have wanted them for so long! Ive been forever ebaying them and finding them not nessecarily expensive, but more than i wouldve liked to of payed for them because of them being sent from america. However, i was lucky enough to stumble across a certain website the other week called beautyjoint, they were selling off this babies in their sale for $2.99 which when converted to pounds was something like £1.92, at that point even paying a few pounds for the postage didnt seem like a big issue and ended up buying about 8 of them!




L to R: Milk, Lime, Yogurt, Blackbean, Pots and pans, Iced mocha, Cottage cheese, Slate

 

They really do have brilliant colour pay off and glide on your skin wonderfully without tugging at all! I am a huge Mac fan but in my opinion i just cannot even compare them to the Mac shadesticks, they are such brilliant value for money. I'm just thinking back to how excited i was to get the sharkskin from Mac and being slightly annoyed at having to warm the product up a bit before it going on to your skin smoothly, this just isnt a concern with the eyeshadow pencils!

The one fault i have say is they creased super easily on my eyelids, i didnt actually use a primer when i put it on because i was way too excited to try it out, but in future ill be definetely using one! Still, for the price and everything else theyre just amazing value!

THE UK NEEDS TO SELL NYX SOMEWHERE.
