NYX Butter Lipstick Review



I am a big fan of NYX makeup! If you are not familiar with NYX, they are a makeup brand that do fantastic products for decent prices. I would say their price range of product would be inbetween drugstore and high-end. So they are affordable, but I like to buy stuff from them every now and again as a treat, as the prices can soon add up! 
For quite a while now, I have been a HUGE fan of their Butter Glosses. They are highly pigmented glosses, that look and smell amazing. I am pretty much obsessed with them!
So when I discovered that NYX had created Butter Lipsticks, this was something that excited me alot! However there is one downside to this new creation....they currently don't stock these in the UK yet. NYX is an American makeup brand, so they obviously get the new releases alot quicker than we do! So with no release date in the UK set yet, I had to take a different approach to get my hands on these much wanted lipsticks!

Luckily enough, there is an american website called cherryculture.com that stocks these lipsticks, and they also ship to the UK. So I decided to place an order with them, and I got my hands on these beauties!

These retail at around $6 in the US, but I was lucky enough to get them on sale for $4.50!
I managed to get myself some beautiful colours and instantly fell in love with them!

These lipsticks are super moisturising - so great if you have dry lips! They are also super pigmented! What I love about these, is that usually with creamy/moisturising lipsticks, they wear off the lips very quickly, but these last! I've never had such a moisturising lipstick with such lasting power! And they are also don't go patchy, so whilst they are starting to wear off throughout the day, they still maintain their colour and coverage of the lips. I would say the lasting power of these lipsticks is around 4 hours til you need to touch them up - alot longer than my MAC ones! I think these are fantastic for such a low price. They look glossy and go onto the lips like silk. They feel really creamy and don't stick to dry patches at all. They do a fantastic colour range, and I can't wait til these are released in the UK! I would totally recommend them, especially if you love the Butter glosses!

Head to www.cherryculture.com to grab yourself some of these!

Favourite autumn lip colours!


Recently I have been a bit obsessed with all things autumnal. I have been loving the change from the summer to autumn and I can quite safely say autumn is my favourite season! I find when autumn arrives I not only change up my clothing, but also my makeup and nail colours! So today I thought I would share my favourite autumn lip colours!

Usually I would wear girly pinks and peachy colours, but at the moment I have been liking browns, reds and purples. I'm going to show you eight of my most worn lips colours of the moment! They are all similar colours, but they are ones I have been liking the most!

NYX Round Lipstick - Paris

NYX butter glosses!


Aloha!
I'm back with another review today. Recently I brought some items from NYX.  I love to buy stuff from them every now and again because even though their products are affordable, they are not cheap enough to buy all the time. I think nyx is really underrated in the uk. You can only buy stuff off of their website which is why I think that is, but they do some amazing stuff and I think everyone deserves to have a little bit of nyx in their makeup collection!
Anyway I'm completely going off subject!! I purchased two of their butter glosses which are fairly new. I've been wanting to try them out since they were released and have only just got around to buying them! 


I got mine in the shades 'peaches and cream' and 'cherry pie'. They are £5 each which I think is affordable. The gloss is quite thick and almost like the Rimmel apacolips lip laquers, but more like a gloss than a laquer. 


The pigmentation is really good and they are super glossy. The colour lasts such a long time on the lips and the product isn't too sticky. Because it's nyx products I wasn't expecting them to be rubbish, I thought they'd be fantastic and of course they are! They don't do many colors available but from the few you can get, they are really flattering shades. I chose peaches and cream because it is a pretty peachy bright pink. And as for cherry pie, it's a typical red gloss, which is something I don't have in my gloss collection! Overall I would recommend checking out these glosses. They are really pretty and great quality. Nyx products never fail to impress me and these are just brilliant. If you like a thick gloss then you'll love these. Plus they smell amazing!

My Top 5 Favourite Summer Lip Products!


Hi all,
I have been loving a variety of lip products this summer. But a few have really stood out for me and I keep going back to them day after day. Sooooo, I thought I would share these favourites with you!!!



MAC Lipstick - Pink Pearl Pop
I love Mac lipsticks, and there are so many colours I wear all the time, but this one has really stood out for me. This colour is so gorgeous and is the perfect shade of pink. It borders on the line of being wearable for the daytime and nightime, and it is so pretty! I love the smell of this lipstick and it isn't too drying as it is a creme sheen finish. I have been really liking to wear this in the day time with simple eye makeup, but it also serves well as a brilliant lipstick for a night out!!



Topshop Lipstick - Saint
I adore this lipstick! Not only is the scent delicious, the finish/texture of it is so creamy. This is a perfect day to day lip colour - it's very nude/ with a slight hint of pink. It is super hydrating and leaves your lips looking healthy and natural. I have been liking to wear this to work for a simple look, but I think this lipstick is so versatile it also could look great on special occasions with a smoky eye. 



NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Tokyo
This is such a girly lip colour that I have been loving to wear in the day time recently. The texture of this product is so creamy and really not drying at all. And the smell....OMG - delicious!! But this is really a proper nude pink, and it borders on the line of being too nude but if you blend it in well enough it really does compliment the shape of your lips. I have had a lot of compliments wearing this recently and it seems to go with any makeup look too!



Rimmel Apocolips Lip Lacquer - Celestial
Everyone knows about the apocolips lip laquers and everyone has a favourite. Mine just happens to be this one. Although I'm not that keen on the scent - it's like a mixture of plastic and watermelon! I love the finish this product gives. It gives the intensity of a lipstick, and the glossiness of a lip gloss. As you can see the pigmentation of this is amazing and it lasts such a long time. The colour is a dark pink/purple, and is perfect for nights out and special occasions!



ELF Mineral Lip Gloss - Pageant Princess
This is by far my favourite lip gloss out of my whole collection!! I literally love this gloss so much and it such a beautiful flattering colour. It looks perfect on it's own and over the top of a nude lipstick. I have been loving this for day to day wear and it is my go to gloss. It's a product that I will make sure I'm stocked up on because it flatters my lips so well and really makes any bad makeup day look great!!

NYX Blushers


Hi everyone!

Now if there is one makeup item that I LOVE and could buy millions of, it's blushers. I love them! So today I've got two blushers by NYX to show you, and I am in love with them!



At £5.50 each, they are not too expensive, but they are so flattering to my skin tone that I just had to grace their presence on this blog post! Mine are in the shades Peach and Rose Garden, which are lighter shades (something you can wear day to day). Unfortunatly my camera wouldn't pick up swatches of these gorgeous colours, but if you go check out the NYX website, you can see these colours as well as others available! - http://www.nyxcosmeticsstore.co.uk/acatalog/PB_-_Powder_Blush.html

The pigmentation on these blushers are brilliant and they glide on so well, giving an elegant look for day to day wear. Not only do they look great but they are affordable and I am defiantly buying some more. These are by far the best blushers I have EVER used, so I recommend to go check them out.

Only a short post today, but follow me to see more :) xx
