Raving about NYX cosmetics....

Hi everyone,

          So lets jump right in today is all about NYX cosmetics. I don't have a lot of products but what I do have I only have good things to say about them.

First is the NYX girls nail polish in the colour "Dreamy Glitter" (NGP167). This is such a pretty feminine glitter polish. It has such an ethereal look to it between the iridescent sparkle the light pinkish fine sparkle and to top it all off the cutest pink stars. This particular polish I would recommend using as a top coat over your favorite pink base colour. You will need about 2 coats to make it even and visible if your going to wear it alone. Also BEWARE it is very hard to get off. However I still think its a nice fun polish that any girlie girl would love.

Next up is the NXY ULTRA PEARL MANIA LOOSE PIGMENT I picked the following colours

 

11 Baby Pink Pearl

 

17 Yellow Gold Pearl

 

18 Orange Pearl 

I did notice because they are so light and fine it does fly around a lot during application however the color payoff is well worth the effort. It has good staying power which today I am wearing the Baby pink and have had it on since 7 this morning and its still hasn't budged. If you love that angelic look around your eyes these are a must try for fans of pigment.
They are very small containers 0.06 fl oz/5ml but they will last a really long time. They sell for about $4 each
I also bought one GLITTER MANIA again in a 5ml for $4 it is 10 Hot Pink, but you must use a cream base, eye primer or cream shadow then pack on the glitter as it will not stay on the eye on its own and will not show up as you see it in the container. Very cool colour if you use it right.

I did not swatch the Glitter as it was not showing up well on my hand

As you can see the Baby pink is a good highlighting colour, but the Gold and Orange are super pigmented and are so gorgeous even on a hand. Can you imagine how awful life would be without colour...YIKES


Lastly I purchased two of the EXTRA CREAMY ROUND LIPSTICKS as I have never tried them until now. All I can say is OMG what amazing colours they show up so incredible on the lips. These certainly have to be dupes for MAC lipsticks, which everyone raves about and that's fine, but I don't feel it necessary to spend upwards of $18 for a lipstick when I known there are brands like NYX that are comparable and for a fraction of the cost which I paid $5.39 each for the colours
POWER (LSS629)
STRAWBERRY MILK (LSS595)
They come in a 4g/.14oz tube

Strawberry Milk is the most amazing baby pink of all pinks and I can only imagine how much more amazing it will look come summer with a decent tan. I would say its the NYX version of MAC's Saint Germain. Its that all out true bubble gum Barbie pink.
The colour POWER is such a nice everyday mauve nude that literally can be worn with any shade of eye makeup and will look great.
These lipsticks have several hours of staying power mine has faded today but I also ate and drank a coffee, but its still hanging on without a touch up yet so I say that's pretty damn good.


So if you like cosmetics that offer quality like high end but are much much more affordable then check out NYX full line of cosmetics online at www.nyxcosmetics.ca or .com, or find a reseller near you.

Again I hope you all enjoy these reviews and maybe even finding a new product that you too will love as much as I do.


In the coming days I will be reviewing new nail polish colours by NEW YORK COLOURS and the new top ten eyeshadow palettes by HARD CANDY
till then
STAY BEAUTIFUL
