NYX Haul

First NYX Haul

Yay! I have finally gotten a hold of my NYX stuff that I ordered from Cherry Culture (after a whole month =\). They sent it to the wrong address, but Andrew was nice enough to pick it up for me (thanks!). And even though I thought Cherry Culture could not screw up my order anymore, they did. They sent me the wrong lipgloss. *sigh* I am never ordering from Cherry Culture again. I am not even going to bother them with getting the right lipgloss – I am sure they will find another way to screw up.

Anyways, onto my NYX stuff… 

NYX Round Lipsticks in Circe, Thalia and Indian Pink

My camera/lighting really throws off the colour. Circe is a golden-nude colour; Thalia is a very pale blue-toned pink; Indian Pink is a pretty coral pink colour with very fine golden shimmer (love it!). These lipsticks are really great; they glide on sooooo smoothly and are not drying at all. 

NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Sunshine and Smokey Look

As for the lipglosses, I ordered Natural but they sent me Sunshine instead. I don’t mind Sunshine though – it’s a pale dusty rose colour. Smokey Look is a pale peachy-pink with fine golden shimmers. It’s very similar to the NARS Orgasm lipgloss and it’s named “Smokey Look” because it’s the perfect lip colour to match dark smokey eyes =) Overall, I really like their lipglosses as well. They are not sticky at all and glide on smoothly. 

NYX Eyeshadow Trio in Sahara, Suede and Chocolate

I really like this neutral palette. All the colours are nicely pigmented and are really smooth. Sahara is a perfect highlight colour – it’s offwhite and slightly golden with a little bit of shimmer. Very pretty. Suede is a light and slightly cool-toned brown – perfect all-over lid colour. And lastly, Chocolate is a slightly darker brown, which is perfect for defining the crease. This palette is perfect for an everyday natural look! 

NYX Eyeshadow Trio in Lake Moss

I was really REALLY looking forward to this palette. On the website, the green and purple looked matte and sooo pretty. But Cherry Culture has failed me, yet again! The swatches on their website are terrible. But I won’t put all the blame on CC, this is a bad product from NYX. While the shadows look very shimmery and very purple/blue/green in the pot, they all look like crap on the skin. And I mean that literally. When swatched, they all look dark brown for some reason (even when I use a base – I tried many, in fact). Big disappointment. =( I should’ve gotten the single shadows instead. 

Overall, I am very happy with my NYX products =) I will definitely check out more stuff from them, but I’m never EVER going back to Cherry Culture unless they read this, beg for my forgiveness and send me lots of free stuff.

I’m not sure when I became a makeup junkie, but I really need to stop =\ 

… can’t wait for my MAC stuff to arrive in the mail! More Yay!
