All Things NYX
Review Week: Day 5
Hi Everyone!
For the review weeks finale I wanted to do a makeup
brand review. One brand that I have a whole array of
products from is NYX. I've heard a lot of hyp over all of
the products and wanted to try them out and share my
thoughts on them with all of you.
Blush
Left-Right: Pinky, Bourgeois Pig, Desert Rose
I really like these blushes overall. They're extremely soft
and glide on smoothly. They may not look very vibrant or
highly pigmented but I kind of like that. I don't want to have
to be super careful with me makeup application and this is great
if you're like me. You can build up the color with ease or just
lightly sweep it on for a very subtle glow of color. Also,
the Pinky and Bourgeois Pis are fully matte and Desert Rose
has the tiniest bit of a shimmer to it that makes your
cheeks have a little glow to them and the color makes
you and your skin look nice and healthy.
Splurge or Save?
Definitely try them out. They're not too
pricey so even if you end up not
liking them you didn't spend
too much on them
Eyes
Row 1: VooDoo Love Spells | Row 2: En Fuego
On the Left: Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
I honestly don't really have anything bad to say
about these eye shadows or the jumbo eye pencil.
They're both fantastic products. When I first got VooDoo
Love Spells they weren't very good. I swatched them and
was just disappointed. They barely showed up then but now
that I've used it quite a few times they colors are a lot more
pigmented. As for the En Fuego, I haven't even worn it on
my eyes yet and already love them. The second I touched
them I liked them. They feel as soft as velvet. Plus the
pigmentation is superb. They swatch above is with
very little product even applied and they show
up very well.
Splurge or Save?
I LOVE these so much and
can't suggest them enough
so definitely try them
Lips
Row 1: Creme Brulee, Merengue, Apple Strudel
Row 2: Eclair, Peaches&Cream, Vanilla Cream Pie
To the Left: Lipstick in Hero
Okay, so I haven't had the best experience with NYX's lipsticks
but I do really like their butter glosses. The Butter Glosses are so
rich, smooth, and creamy. They glide on easily and are highly
pigmented. As for the lipsticks, what can I say? I just haven't
had the best luck. I bought one forever ago from the "Black
Label Lipstick" line and I truly hated it. It just didn't look good
on me. Plus I had my sister try it on and it didn't look good on
her and she has an olive skin tone. It settled into even the
smallest lines of my lips and just looked horrible so I threw
it away long before I planned to do this. But as for the one
shown, I really like it. I wish it came out how it looks like in
the tube but it's still beautiful. I did buy both of them online,
along with everything else, and just suggest looking up
reviews of it or see if someone used it in a makeup tutorial
on YouTube or in a blog post so you can see it swatched
and what it looks like on the lips. I wish I would have been
able to do that, or would have thought of it, when buying
these. But overall I really like both the lipstick and
the butter glosses.
Splurge or Save?
Butter Glosses: Go for it
Lipsticks: Try to get one that
you've seen used or were able to swatch

I hope that this was helpful if you were curious about the makeup brand
NYX. Overall I really like this brand and their prices are great. I would definitely
suggest the trio in En Fuego, the butter glosses in Vanilla Cream Pie, and
Eclair, the blush in Desert Rose and the Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. They're
probably my favorite out of all of the products I have and know that
a lot of others love them as well.
xoxo,
Wren
