NYX mega shine lip glosses part 2: reviews and swatches

Hey guys!

Here's part 2 of the swatches:

From the bottom: Perfect red, salsa, la-la, smokey look, tea rose, beautiful and nude pink





From the bottom: Perfect red, salsa, la-la, smokey look, tea rose, beautiful and nude pink



From the left: Perfect red, salsa, la-la, smokey look, tea rose, beautiful and nude pink

Bare lips

Perfect red
Perfect red: Creamy classic red. It's not too blue toned or too orange. It is extremely opaque, one swipe and you get this intense color. I would recommend wearing a lipliner with it!

salsa
 Salsa: This lipgloss has a mauve color with some really fine blue and silver shimmers. You don't really see them on your lips.

La-la
 La-la: Sheer coral color. You can either wear it with a coral lipstick to make it more vibrant or over a nude one to make it more fun for the summer! In the tube (like sugar pie) it seems like there would be some tiny shimmers in it but you don't notice them on your lips.

Smokey look
Smokey look: In the tube and even when you swatch it, this color can be a little intimidating for people with light skin. But it's a sheer gloss so it won't look as orange on your lips as you can see. It turns out to be a warm nude color. Like the name says, it's beautiful with a smokey eyes!

Tea rose
Tea rose: When you see this lip gloss in the tube, it looks like a mid toned mauve color. Turns out it's a sheer version of it. It's more wearable and looks more like a mid toned mauvy pink without shimmers.

Beautiful
 Beautiful: The base color of this one looks similar to the beige lip gloss (mid toned pink). Only it has some noticeable gold shimmers in it. The shimmers stay on your lips even when you don't have any more gloss on!

Nude pink

Nude pink: Opaque creamy peachy pink color. Keep in mind that the cream colors look better when you let them sit on your lips for a little while! It's another version of a nude lipgloss that won't make you look dead.

Hope you enjoyed :)

NYX lipliner pencils part 1

Hey guys!

Today's post is about the NYX lipliners. They're inexpensive but yet creamy and pigmented.
They have a vast selection and I'll share with you swatches of the ones that I own...
(These are the ones that you have to sharpened)

The lipliners of the part 1 are all matte.



From left to right: Dolly pink, purple rain, bloom, pinky, hot red, fuchsia, plush red, natural and auburn

 For the sake of the swatches I filled in my lips. Keep in mind that I didn't use any concealer before nor lip balms. Even though some of them I would wear on their own.. I would add at least a lip balm since the matte formula get be drying! (On some of the last swatches you can see my lips are getting dry..)


Bare lips

Auburn
Auburn: Dark cool toned red. For a vampy look it's a really good color. It's a buildable color, the more you apply the darker and the more opaque it will be.

Natural
Natural: Beigy nude color. It's opaque and on the warmer side. It would be a good nude lipliner for people with medium skin tone.


Plush red
 Plush red: Pinky cool toned red color. Like auburn, it's buildable, the more you apply the more opaque it will get. It's one of the lipliner I would definitively wear with just some lip balm over it. It's more pink than the hot red.

Fuchsia
 Fuchsia: Bright cool toned pink color. I would personally use it under a nude lipstick to make it a little brighter but not too much! Again, this one is buildable.

Hot red
 Hot red: Classic red color. Not too pink, not too orange. The type of red that would look good on everyone!
pinky
 Pinky: Warmer mid toned pink and lighter than fuchsia.

Bloom
 Bloom: More on the red side than fuchsia. It's less pink and more mauve.

Purple rain
 Purple rain: This one is not as opaque as the other ones. You need to apply a few coats for it to look like it does on my arm swatch. It's good if you use it to line your lips before you apply a purple lipstick but I wouldn't use it on it own!

Dolly pink
Dolly pink: Bright baby pink. It looks like St-Germain from Mac in a lipliner form. It's a really blue toned pink and it's really opaque.


Keep an eye out for the rest of the swatches!


Hope you enjoyed :)
