NYX Haul

Hi everyone, I thought id share with you a little makeup haul, its not much but I thought its still nice to see what that person bought. Now if you haven't heard of NYX and your a beauty lover.. then your a beauty lover under a rock I say that in the nicest possible way, NYX Cosmetics is an extremely popular brand throughout the beauty community, Why? Because it has developed a reputation for having beautiful pigmented products at some reasonably affordable prices, some consider it to be "drugstore" and some others do not because it's a bit harder to find in certain areas. I ordered mine from BeautyJoint.com which do amazing cheap makeup on their. I'm not sure if its available in any UK stores at the moment, I could be wrong.?


 
NYX Cream Blush - Natural
 

 
NYX Rouge cream blush offers radiant, long-lasting colour in the form of velvety smooth cream. Infused with mineral oils, this blush is creamy in texture and provides a dewy glow for natural, fresh colour. These cream blushes are buttery smooth, very pigmented, non-sticky, easy to blend, and long lasting. The formula is wet upon application but dries to a matte finish. You could even wear this underneath your desired powder blush to increase the staying power.
It's a peachy light pink colour, very natural looking which would suit light to medium skin-tones very well. This blush is pigmented but subtle enough to not draw attention away from the rest of your make up! I use a stippling blush as this gives me the most natural look and doesn't look caked on.

Here's a swatch below

 
NYX powder blush in Taupe
 


 
This NYX blusher in the ‘famous’ Taupe shade is one of those popular products people rave about on the net, Taupe is one of the cheapest make up items I own and yet it is easily the most versatile. The thing I love about the blush so much is that it’s sheer and natural so its perfect for an everyday makeup if you don't want to go heavy on the bronzer. When contouring/bronzing with this, it literally looks as if you’re adding a natural shadow to the face.

Here's a swatch below


 
 NYX Matte Bronzer - Light
 
 
 This matte bronzer is truly matte, there is not one spec of shimmer or sparkle to this, The consistency of the matte bronzer is quite nice. They're soft, nicely pigmented, they don't have much fallout, not chalky and they easily blend on the skin. I can get a couple of hours of wear from this before I start to see fading, and I like that, because of their matte finish, It can easily double as a contouring shade. This bronzer has a nice natural finish when applied to the skin, and does not turn orange as the day goes on – a huge plus! I do feel I need to take care when I apply it to my complexion so I don’t over do it, but I don't mind because it is easy to work with, because of this it will make it easier to work with as the weather warms up and I get more of a tan so I don’t have to switch to a new bronzer, so that is a plus!

 NYX Butter Gloss - Peaches & Cream
 

I think NYX Butter Gloss is possibly one of the nicest gloss formula's in the budget world at the moment. Literally the name translates to the formula as these have a buttery, creamy texture that hugs lips with a moisturising finish that’s sure to please even the driest of dry lips. The formula provides medium to sheer coverage depending on the shade you purchase.  They have a tasty fruity sugar cookie-like flavor that isn’t overpowering and quite pleasant, it smells sooo good. I think the gloss wears incredibly comfortable. It’s lightweight, isn’t sticky, but has a bit of tack to allow the glosses to wear quite strong at around four hours without fading.

Swatches are below
 
On my lips was only 1 coat, you can apply a second coat for a more brighter look :) which will look like above on my hand.
 
 
 
 Have you tried any NYX makeup before?

  2. I love the NYX butter glosses.. I just started using them myself. Can't wait to get more colours!
    Do you find the bronzer to be orangey? I'm pale and want to try out more drugstore bronzer but find it hard to find ones that aren't to orangey!
