this will be the first series that i write besides reviews. i will write about new brands that i found out, not necessarily new brand in real world, but new to me, and products from that brand that i like. i might have purchased items from them or intend to buy in the future.
the first brand that i will discuss is nyx. i know nyx since i bought their lipgloss palette. but i didn't like it, so i forgot about it for a while. but then, when i was more into this beauty world, i found that nyx is a decent brand. no cruelty with decent price.. and when i found out about their round lipstick, and then soft matte lip cream with huge range of colors, i'm hooked. you know i'm a big fan of colors. so imagine when i decided to buy a whole lot of round lipsticks. i spent hours browsing about reviews and swatches. but then i read that many people complained about how shipment will ruin the lipstick, sometimes it will melt and sometimes it will be broken. and the durability is quite low since it's very creamy and tends to melt easily in hot weather. oh, i live in tropical country when heat and humid are here to stay everyday. so i decided not to plunge into big haul.
next i found out about their soft matte lip cream. i haven't tried any matte lipstick yet, so i was in doubt for quite some time before deciding to buy two shades.. antwerp and sao paulo. antwerp is the best seller colors, and i find out no wonder it becomes best seller. it is suitable to any skintone. while sao paulo on the other hand, quite bold for me, but still wearable. but since sao paulo is quite bold, it makes me stop there.. i don't have the courage to try the red ones, like amsterdam.. since it will be much bolder. maybe i will try another paler shade like milan or istanbul and other shades similar to antwerp like ibiza or cannes. who knows?
then i need lip balms. we were going to have winter holiday and i have to pack a lip balm with me. but i also don't want to look too pale, but i don't think i have enough time to put on makeup since my son is coming along, so i decided color lip balm is a good choice. and after searching, i decided to buy nyx lip balms in panna cotta and parfait. though they aren't as moisturizing as my previous body shop's vit e lip balm, but they're okay..
and lately, i've been eyeing on their butter gloss. i searched day and night about their shades.. but still it is a very long list. so i stop there and wait. and then there are intense butter glosses. oh my.. i have my eye on tres leches, napoleon and one more shade, i forgot the name. oh.. i wonder when i will have the chance to use it? oh well.. they're on my list for now.. and speaking of lipsticks, they have butter lipsticks and high voltage lipsticks which i haven't known a lot for now. i can't risk myself wanting another lipstick right now.. hahaha..
aside from lips products, i've been attracted to their blushes and eyeliners. though i would like to try their stick and cream blushes, but i decided to try the powder blush instead since i have pretty oily skin. and their powder blushes are like the round lipsticks.. it has huge colors range. and deciding which one to buy is hard. but i decided to try pinched (many said it's nars' orgasm dupe) and lately i've tried mocha also. i have apricot or coral dream in my list to try next.
as for the eyeliner, i have no luck with revlon's before, so i have scratched liquid liner from my list. i was looking for retractable pencil eyeliner, but i found out that nyx has felt tip eyeliner and i fell in love with it. now i use their dual timer eyeliner, which has felt tip on one side and kohl pencil on the other end. i'm happy with it, and i will continue my purchase in the future.
okay.. to round it up..
(+) cruelty free, budget friendly, huge range of shades (especially their lipsticks, lipglosses, blushes), great pigmentation
(-) inconsistency in shades : when i browsed to check the shade, it looked completely different from one person to the other, i mean really different.. even on the same skin tone. even the real product look different. i know, it might be lighting and all, but it's so inconsistent compared to other brand. but fyi, i face the problems when browsing for round lipsticks and the powder blushes. the other products don't share the same problem. the other inconsistency is their formulation. most of the round lipsticks tend to melt easily. some of the powder blushes are more powdery than the other. the other inconsistency is their packaging. i've read somewhere that many people are asking how to differentiate the real nyx products apart from the counterfeit, but there's no conclusion about it. me myself, i have two nyx lip balms that have different packaging.. but i guess both are genuine. perhaps nyx will help shed the light to this problem.
if you love nyx, tell me what products do you like? if you haven't known it, search about it now.. try some of their products and i assure you, you will hooked with this brand.
