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 :)

NYX mega shine lip glosses part 1: reviews and swatches

Hey guys,

Today I thought I would share with you my collection of NYX mega shine lip glosses.

Here's the part 1:

I can only buy these online and it can sometimes be hard to know what they really look like when you see the swatches on the web sites. You might think that this one is a cream but when you receive it it's a frost :S.. So I though I would show you swatches of the ones that I own.

From the bottom: Sugar pie, sweet heart, french kiss, natural, beige, golden pink, dolly pink

From the left: Dolly pink, golden pink, beige, natural, french kiss, sweet heart and sugar pie

They are really creamy and not sticky. They have a really glossy finish and last a while and I personally like the sweet cherry smell. The smell doesn't go away so if you don't like it you might want to pass on these ones.
They are pretty cheap, especially if you consider the fact that you get 15ml-0.53fl.oz. I doubt I'll ever finish one of them. They look better when you let them for a few minutes on your lips.
They packaging is cute and the doe foot applicator is amazing.

Bare lips

Sugar pie

 Sugar pie: My favorite! It's a sheer nude beigy nude color. It's perfect over any other nude lipsticks or it can turn down any colors that might be too bright. In the tube, it seems like there are some really small shimmers, but they don't show when you swatch it or on you lips. It just turns down the color of you lips to the perfect shade!

sweet heart

Sweet heart: This one is a little darker of a nude than sugar pie. It's more opaque and a little more on the frosty side. In the tube it looks like it would be a frost but when swatch you don't really notice it.

French kiss

 French kiss: *Frost alert* This lipgloss is a full on frost. (really not my favorite finish) It is still in the nude family but more on the red-rusty color.

Natural

 Natural: (Don't mind the not so good lip swatch). This would be the perfect nude on medium skin tone. It's warmer than the other lip glosses, more on the peachy-brown side. It's a cream so no glitter or shimmer whatsoever.

beige

 Beige: A cult favorite. As everyone usually say.. it's clearly not a beige color but a mid tone pink and has cream finish.

Golden pink

 Golden pink: The base of this lip gloss is really close to the beige one but it has shimmers in it. It's a little bit more blue toned and less opaque than the ones with a cream finish.

Dolly pink

Dolly pink: Bright creamy pink, this lip gloss is a cool toned fuchsia. You can sheer it out or put on more for an opaque finish.


The rest of the swatches are going to be in my next post soon!


Hope you enjoyed :)
