NYX Matte Bronzer in Light Review

I love bronzer, I use it everyday to contour my cheekbones. I have a few go-to matte bronzers, like the Benefit Hoola, but this particular bronzer has captured my heart in a special way :)

As you can see the bronzer is a light matte honey brown, it is the perfect color for light skinned girls like myself. I love using this bronzer, the powder is light feeling and easily blends into the skin. They have 5 different colors that would work with a variety of skin tones.

Right now its on the NYX website ($9), but it'll probably pop up in ULTA soon.

NYX Shine Killer Review

I have oily skin so trust me when I tell you I am always on the lookout for products that will take away oil. This is a new product from NYX, I've only used it once but here are my impressions thus far:

The consistency of the product is hard to describe. Imagine a gel that doesn't feel gooey, more like a velvety texture (somehow that makes sense). Once you spread it on your skin it disappears instantly so I feel like I need to squeeze more product out (but less is probably more). This product doesn't do that weird thing that some primers do, I think it's called pilling, when there's like little balls of the product that don't blend into the skin (just in case you were wondering...).

As far as the mattifying purposes I do feel as though it made a difference in the oiliness on my face, especially the T-zone area. It's not a miracle product, you still need to powder, but I really do feel like it made a difference. I got through most of the day with no shininess whatsoever.

I put it on after my moisturizer and primer, before foundation. It's a little pricey for NYX, @ $13, but I think the price is justified as there are relatively few "low-end" products that are similar. Urban Decay makes a very similar product for twice the price. I also really like the packaging, sleek, easy to use, and air plane friendly.

NYX Cream Shadow in Suede

NYX has brought out quite a few products lately, some I love like the new stick blush, and some that need some work like their new cream shadows.

The color is pretty, that's a given, but the formula is lacking. The pigmentation for this color isn't great on the lids for one. The product also creases like crazy a few hours after application, even when you put a primer under it. It is also hard to blend.

I was not impressed with this product at all, which is shocking because I really love NYX. Perhaps the other colors behave better, but I do have to note that many bloggers I've read have had the same sentiments, but it varies on the colors.

This is a product you really have to test out yourself to see if you like it.

NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in African Queen

My lovely friend Meredith sent me this lip gloss, check out her blog :)

http://meredithenroute.blogspot.com/

It's a color I would never be brave enough to buy because it's a violet color in the tube, but looks are deceiving ;)

As you can see the color is a nice berry with a hint of violet. It's pretty sheer so it won't overwhelm your lips. I really love it :) If you where wondering NYX lip gloss isn't sticky and does have a light smell.

NYX Stick Blush Review

NYX has come out with some nice new products lately, let's check out their new stick blushes :)

These cream blushes are phenomenal! They apply smoothly and blend out easily. The pigmentation is great and can really be layered on. I've incorporated these stick blushes into my daily routine because I love them so much. They don't dry to be completely matte and dry feeling, more moist feeling. They last for most of the day, at least 6 hours, and even longer when layered under a powder blush. They come in a variety of colors and in shimmery or matte finishes.

I really suggest you check them out @ Ulta.

About $5.

New NYX Products :)

Lordy, NYX has brought out a lot of new things! Tons of new mascaras, cream shadows, stick blush, and miscellaneous. I picked up a few things today from ULTA and luckily they were on sale buy one get one half off. I'll be doing a review soon :)

NYX Lip Products :)

Hautelook was having this sale a week or so ago and I took advantage and bought a set of lip products. I got 2 lip liners, 2 lipsticks, and two lip glosses. Review time!!

Okay first we have two matte lipsticks:

The pink color is the perfect barbie pink, actually it kind of reminds of me the kind of pink the girls (and guys) were rocking in the 80's. Now the "nude" shade is just a hot mess. It is a pale orange if anything, not a nude color. It actually looks horrible on my lips. I hope there is some way I can make it work...

No onto the lip liners:

The lip liners are both really nice and pigmented.

Now the lip gloss/lip colors:

I like both of them, although the nude one is still a little too orangey for me. These products are not exactly a gloss not exactly a lip stick, it's a nice mix between the two.

Here's pics of all of them together and the pink lipstick and gloss on my lips :)
