NYX haul and first thoughts.....

Hello my Lovlies

Yes yes the sun is out and it's time to see people inappropriately dressed as i encountered a double take situation this morning!

So i am not new to NYX cosmetics but it has been a while since i ordered new stuff from them. So a few days ago i indulged in more makeup that was quite uneccesary really. So i thought i would give you my first thoughts on these newbies in my collection.



LtoR. Xtreme lip cream-Bonfire, Freebie, Cream Blush-Tickled, Concealer in a jar
Tinted Lip Balm

NYX Service: It's the first time that i ordered off the Nyx website and must say there service was phenomenal. I ordered on a Saturday and got the products on Tuesday. Keep up the good work guys.

What I say:  I got the colour in 'Shukran' as on the site it is swatched as a nice dusky rosy pink. However on my lips this does not show at all whatsoever. BUT i am not dissapointed this is the most moisturising lip balm that i own and i am on it in terms of lip products. It feels so smooth on the lips and for £4 i will defo be trying out more shades. 'Obrigado' a deep red is my next victim.

XLC - 'Bonfire'



One stripe of this badboy

What they say:  'Beautify your lips with this velvety rich lip cream that provides extreme pigmentation with a silky and glossy finish. This lip cream is a hybrid of lipstick, lip gloss, and lip stain with intense pigmentation all in one. Complete your head-turning look with the Xtreme Lip Cream in any of the 11 luscious colors'

Price: £6.50

What I say:  This product is uhh mazing!! I really did not expect the pigmentation to be so intense. I would say this is definately a liquid lipstick but the intensity is out of this world. I got the shade in Bonfire, on the site it looked like a muted pink but on me it looks more of a magenta pink. But i am ok with that. I can't comment on the staying power of this but will give my second impressions once i've used it a bit. Overall i want more!!

Cream Blush in Tickled

Swatch of Tickled

What they Say: More delicious than peaches and cream? We like to think so. Our velvety smooth mineral Rouge Cream Blush offers a sheer wash of radiant colour. The glorious payoff is dewy, sultry and long-lasting. Available in cream blush 12 shades.

NYX Tip: Use our Cream Blush Brush to blend a beautifully, natural colour to your cheek.

What I say: So it's not easy purchasing make up that is not in front of you. After seeing quite a few reviews i thought i would give this a go. I am seriously into cream blushers especially when the sun is out. So when i tried this i used my real techniques stippling brush. I would definately say that the colour is not as pigmented as it looks. This is more of a subtle pinky peach with gold speckles. So after the first time i applied this my face looked wet. Literally i looked like i had sweaty cheeks!!! errr. Second time i applied it just to my cheek bones and dabbed a bit of translucent powder on top. OMG this combination is amazing. This blusher is brilliant if you want highlighted cheeks etc. I am obssessed with highlighter and this gives the perfect glow. Overall i love this product and will definatley see a place for this in my everyday makeup bag. I think i want to try some more and see if they are as wet.

What I say: I heard so much about this product and being the self confessed make up addict that i am i had to give this a go. I got the colour in Glow. It's so hard choosing a colour over the net but i gave it a go. So i have been using this for the past couple of days mainly for my under eye darkness. I would say i judged the colour quite well as it does blend in seamlessly. In terms of the formula it is quite similar to MAC studio tech but a thinner version. It claims upto heavy coverage but to be honest on a daily basis this would be in appropriate for this concealer. So far it does sit in quite nicely in my creases and makes them show but apart from that it isn't that bad. I can't really say much more than that until i use it more.

Free gift with my order

To top it all off the lovly people at NYX sent me a free pot of their on the go Glitter. To be honest i'm not into eyeshadows or glitter at all right now but maybe one day soon one of you lovlies will recieve this as a gift from me, it would be a shame to not put it to good use. I mean check that sparklage out!.


This is how i feel today
