NYX Black Label Lipstick in Dusty Rose & NYX Matte Lipstick in Angel Swatches

All pictures are taken in indoor lighting. If you would like me to take pictures in natural lighting please let me know in the comment box.

This is a bit sheerer than the original NYX round lipsticks  yet I find it more moisturizing. The color is buildable and it glides on the lips. I like the formulation of the new NYX lipsticks. :) I tried this as soon as I got it and it lasted for quite some time. I had to re-apply it after I ate though. 

This is a mauvish pink color. It looks a bit more pink in real life.

Of course I just had to try the new matte lipstick too. :p

NYX Matte Lipstick in Angel

The consistency is thicker than the Black label lipstick. The color is very opaque and it will totally cover the lips. It's also moisturizing but it sort of emphasizes the dryness of my lips. :/ Also I don't think I picked the right color LOL! This is too bright and I won't wear it unless I combine it with a lipgloss to tone it down or maybe I can wear it alone for a night out with friends.

I also think that this would be more suitable with ladies with a cool complexion and I have a warm skin tone. 

a corally water-melon pink. :)

I'm not going to lie I totally messed up the lipstick application because I just applied it without looking at the mirror. :p I think though that the swatches are quite realistic so you can use these for reference if you want to buy these lippies. :) 

I think I'll be getting a couple more NYX lipsticks just because I really like how moisturizing the formulation is.

Hope everyone had a nice day. ;)

NYX Snow white :3

Hi everyone!  I thought of getting another Red lipstick since I thought it kind of matched the upcoming Holidays. I decided to try NYX since I really like their lip gloss and have been reading/hearing a lot of good feedbacks about their lipsticks.

NYX is a company that sells good quality makeup comparable to that of high end brands at drug store prices.  

It's not locally available in the Philippines but there are a many of online sellers here who have on-hand NYX items.

The packaging is sleek and elegant. Definitely doesn't look cheap.

One can easily see what color the lipstick is just by looking at the bottom.

It's a gorgeous Red shade. I think it's flattering for most Skin tones, even those with yellow undertones can easily pull this off! :3

Swatch.

True to it's name, Snow white definitely gives you lips as red as blood. :p

It's velvety and creamy. The color is rich, very pigmented. Just one swipe will be 

enough. No need for 2nd coats. :3

The lasting power is decent. I find that I have to re-apply it after eating, drinking and smoking.

I also find that it kind of stains my lips but that doesn't bother that much me since the product is very pigmented and that is to be expected. 

I also find that it doesn't dry out my lips although I think it's matte. It's very moisturizing and can be applied alone without a lip balm. 

Must cam whore... >o<"

For reference I wear MAC Studio Fix NC 30 and Revlon Colorstay in 320 True Beige.

Hope this review helps. I'll have more coming up as long as laziness doesn't get the best of me. LOL!

Hi everyone.

Today I am going to share with you two looks I did on my sisters the other night. My youngest sister was examining our makeup kits, and asked if I could put some on her since she doesn't use makeup and didn't know how to.

Please note that I am not a makeup artist. I do this for fun and to learn. I like experimenting with makeup and am fascinated with it. <3 All the photos below were taken with flash. I cropped the photos and placed a watermark but I think these look prettier IRL. :P LOL!
