Nyx Haul Part 2: Powder Blush

Hello Hello!

Part 2 of my Nyx Haul, and here come the Blushes :)


I couldn't help myself. I wasn't even looking for blush but hey, regular price is $5 and with 30% I paid $3.50 each one. Can't feel too guilty about that.


Sand, Desert Rose


Silky Rose, Taupe



Terra Cotta, Cinnamon


  Mocha (yes it really is called Mocha), Dusty Rose



L to R: Sand, Desert Rose, Silky Rose, Taupe, Terra Cotta, Cinnamon (with flash)


Top to Bottom: Dusty Rose, Mocha

Excuse the awkward last pic but I ran out of room on my forearm from all the swatching lol. The blushes have a nice silky feel to them and a well pigmented, it just sucks that quite a few of them do not compliment my skin tone very well. But I do see potential using them as eyeshadows so we will see. 

Also i need to do a comparison swatch of Cinnamon and NARS Taj Mahal. It would be amazing if Cinnamon was a dupe for it. 

Ciao~

Nyx Haul Part 1: Nyx Slim Lip Pencils


Nyx had a 30% of sale a couple of months ago and I used the opportunity to get a few lip liners I had been interested in.


I wear alot of Deep Reds and Purples so that was my focus.

L to R: Bloom, Brown Cafe, Burgundy, Fuchsia, Prune, Deep Purple (Natural Light)


(With Flash).

I really like the quality of Nyx products and they are sooo affordable, the lip pencils regular price is $3.50. Compared to MAC or even drugstore pencils that is a steal. They are well pigmented and even though they are not longwear pencils they stay on pretty well ( i had to use a little oil to clean up my arm after swatching).

Overall I am happy with all the colors I got :)
