Swatches and review: NYX blushes and round lippies

Wow! I owe this post like eons ago. But like I always say, better late than never. Hehe.

I bought a whole lot of NYX stuff (lipsticks and blush) from Cherry Culture. I knew NYX existed but never had the opportunity to try them out.

My love affair with NYX started almost a year ago. During my honeymoon in Bandung to be exact. I was shopping at one of their department stores and there was a NYX booth. I was convinced to try out two shades (Thalia and Louisiana) and the rest as they say, is history.

I’ve never been more in love with lipsticks than I have with my NYX Round Lipstick collection. I’ve always been a lipgloss person pretending (or trying very hard) to be young – as I used to find lipsticks very mature.

Boy! Am I wrong. With the right colour and shades, lipsticks can do wonders to your face. You can look as girly as Katy Perry or as hot as Scar Jo or as divine as Jennifer Lopez.

And of course with super cheap prices on Cherry Culture (USD 2.50), there isn’t any better deal or lipstick to replace my current lipstick or NYX Round Lipstick addiction.

Now, why do I love NYX Round Lipsticks so much? The lipstick is so creamy that it helps moisturise my super, already-dried-chapped lips. Other lipsticks and most don’t. In fact, they make my lips even worse.

On top of that, they have so many colours to choose from! I read from Skin Deco, NYX Round Lipsticks has 142 shades! No wonder I had a hard time picking the right colour.

Of course, lipsticks weren’t the only things I got from Cherry Culture. I also bought two NYX blush powders as trial. I was looking for the perfect, coral sort of peachy blush.

As I could not decide, and the NYX blush swatches I found on the internet did not help at all, I decided to go with Peach and Terra Cotta.

The shade Terra Cotta is more of a brick colour. It’s perfect for those who prefers a bronzed and glowing skin. Meanwhile, their Peach looks more Pink rather than Peach. I was quite disappointed.

Nevertheless, the shimmer-less Peach blush does give you a natural flushed look. And I find that the staying power of the blushers are quite good and they’re are quite pigmented as well.

I definitely do not mind spending my money on them again.

After all, I spent S$50 including shipping at Cherry Culture on five NYX Round Lipsticks and two of their powder blushers. Definitely a good bargain!
