PRODUCT REVIEW: NYX LIPS
Today I'd like to feature a selection of NYX lipsticks and glosses. Not long ago, NYX was only available here in Australia, on poorly stocked stands, so everyone was excited when the brand was also made available in Priceline. And as a matter of fact, Priceline now stocks some products exclusively!
Now onto the lipsticks…
Everyone has been raving about the NYX Butter Lipsticks, which feel so (buttery!) soft and light on the lips and have a good colour payoff and leaves a nice sheen on the lips too. They are easy to apply,and just one swipe gives a decent colour, while another layer or two, gives even more colour. They last about 4 or so hours on the lips, all while they feel very comfortable to wear, almost like a lip balm.
I tried the shades Snow Cap, which is a nude shade and Lollies, a pale peachy-apricot shade, I am not personally that fond of nude or pale lips, so these shades are ideal for me, but as I really like the formula, and there are a massive 22 colours in the range, I'm definitely going to get my hands on a few of the darker shades.
Then there's the NYX Butter Gloss, which has a lovely soft and lightweight formula, that also feels so lovely on the lips, and unlike many other lipglosses, this one isn't sticky! And for a lipgloss, it has a surprisingly good pigmentation and colour payoff with a nice glossy sheen too. I tried the shade Strawberry Parfait which is a lovely fuchsia pink shade.
The next in line is the NYX Lip Cream in Simply Pink, which is a chubby style over sized lip crayon - and always loving lip crayons, I immediately fell in love with this one too. The pointed tip makes it easy to apply on the go, and it has a very pigmented look with just one swipe. It is soft and creamy (as the name suggests!), but the wear could be a little better, although I suspect that darker shades might be. The shade Simply Pink is a medium cool pink shade.
Then there's the NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colours, which is gives light to medium coverage with a frosty sheen. It is very soft and goes on smoothly on the lips, but sadly doesn't stay put for long. The shade Castle is a pale purple, which is not really a shade that I'd pick myself, but it is surprisingly wearable. It is a lovely lipstick, also considering the low price point, but personally I prefer the look, feel and wear of the Lip Butter.
Finally, there's the NYX High Voltage Lipstick, which comes in a skinny twist up tube. Another soft and smooth, and also with a full pigmentation in a single swipe. It leaves the lips feeling soft and moisturised, and with a nice sheen, and if you leave it for a few moments to dry, it lasts on the lips for a few hours, while still leaving the lips feeling comfortable. The shade 'Sweet' is a slightly dusty pink colour, that's very wearable.
So there you go, a selection of lipsticks and glosses from NYX, and I dare say something for every taste. Apart from the purple Lip Smacking Fun Colours (which may just be the due to the shade), I really find it difficult to pick favourites amongst these, as seriously, they are all lovely in their own right, and especially considering they are so budget friendly too - so I will certainly be checking out the ranges and look to add a few darker shades to my collection.

Colour of 2013: Emerald Green!
Happy New Year to all of my lovely followers. I hope you had
a great start to 2013.
- Available from Birdsnest
Each year Pantone announces a colour of the year. In 2012 it
was Tangerine Tango, reddish orange,
and a little while ago Pantone announced that the colour of 2013 is
Emerald Green (Pantone 17-5641 Emerald).
According to Pantone, "Most often associated with brilliant, precious gemstones, the perception
of Emerald is sophisticated and luxurious. Since antiquity, this luminous,
magnificent hue has been the colour of beauty and new life in many cultures and
religions. Also the colour of growth, renewal and prosperity, no other colour
conveys regeneration more than green. For centuries, many countries have chosen
green to represent healing and unity."
Symbolically,
Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so
important in today's complex world. This powerful and universally-appealing
tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors."
Explore this
page. Find out more about this radiant jewel tone and its many applications in
fashion, beauty, home décor and design.
International
designers are already incorporating the emerald green into their spring/summer
2013 collections. And Sephora and Pantone proudly announce the Sephora + Pantone Universe™ Colour of the Year Beauty collection featuring Pantone 17-5641 Emerald, which
will be available exclusively at Sephora in March 2013. Sharing a strong
passion for how colour can transform a face, mood or even an attitude, Sephora
and Pantone continue to change how consumers wear, feel and think about colour
through the second annual radiant and modern Colour of the Year beauty
collection.
The limited edition 2013 Colour of the Year beauty
collection features a variety of products in Emerald, including eye shadow,
nail polish and accessories, and will be available at Sephora stores across the
U.S.
Unfortunately, for those of us still dreaming that one day a
Sephora will eventually open shops here in Australia, luckily other brands
seems to be following and launching their green collections.
