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~

NARS Arabian Nights trio eyeshadow palette and swatches

Hello!

First of all, i have to say I had a hard time taking these pictures. For the life of me i could not capture the true colors of the shadows so you'l have to take my word for it when i say that even though they look one color in the ic they are actually different in real life.

Without further ado:

 

Description Left to Right: Black with red shimmer / Black with purple shimmer / Black with gunmetal shimmer

The middle one looks more blue in the picture than purple no? no IRL it is purple with slight blue undertone.

Swatches on skin:

Again like i said above, i could not really capture the true colors but you can see that the eyeshadows is black with either a red, purple or gunmetal shimmer to it. And for anyone who does not like shimmer do not worry, it is not overwhelming amount more like a sprinkling of shimmer.

 

I see myself using these for a smokey eyed look  or to add a little color to a smokey eye. What do you guys think?
