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 :)

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick: Fiery, Besos, Amore

Hello!

First I must say Stila is a brand I have often heard of but never really paid attention to and it has been my loss all this time. This particular product is AMAZING. If you don't like the feel of lipstick but want a lipcolor with high color pay off and durability then this is the product for you. Extra bonus: is it doesn't leave your lips feeling dry.

First up: "Fiery"







Second: "Besos"



"Besos" on the left, "fiery" on the right. They almost look the same but Besos is a brighter red:




Last but not least: "Amore"


Left to Right: "Amore", "besos", "Fiery"

As someone who prefers matte lipcolors I am completely happy with each of these colors and this product in general. Oh i forgot to mention, they smell like chocolate! :)

Ciao~
