Makeup review: Nyx Blush

Finally bought a Nyx blush from our collection. Decided on the "Natural" to be safe. Found it to be very bright for a "natural" blush. It has a pinkish hue bordering peach. Great for everyday, combined with a bronzer. I just didnt like how loose it is that you actually waste so much powder. Definitely not like the Laura Mercier Blushes. Price is very affordable.

We offer other shades like Sand (golden), silky rose, mauve, and raisin.

MakeUp Review: Nyx Jumbo Eye pencil

I was never an eye girl when it comes to make up simply because I didn't know how to put them on and thinking of what shades are perfect to combine. For short, am just too lazy. But then I decided to buy this eye pencil (we're actually selling it) in Cottage Cheese. It's really made for lazy people. It's like an eyeshadow/brightener in one. Very easy to apply and you can see the effect instantly. I really love it! Check our web store for available shades.

MakeUp Review: Nyx Lip Lacquer Pot (Ultraviolet)

I had the chance to use our new Nyx Lip Lacquer Pot last Saturday. This lip lacquer is actually a lip stain...very vibrant and glossy. After eating and drinking, obviously the gloss is gone but the stain is still there so in my opinion it was a success. So for that fabulous look, I suggest using a lip liner first then the lip stain to keep everything in place. Now you have Kissable lips. :)) All in all, it's another great buy. The color is a winner! ... Another "Red" that I can use during my night out of town, which sadly, is not often. :( but who says you can't wear it at home.:))

Available at Gorgeous Me web store in 4 shades. Hope to hear from you soon.

Makeup Review by Kimmy: NYX Lipstick

Rich in Moisture, Rich in Color


Just when you thought you have seen the last of the must-have beauty products, someone is raving about something… again! My sister insisted I try this new brand called Nyx and I decided to give it a try coz days before I saw some red carpet photos with NYX in the background. So, since we should always be in the know of the latest in beauty… I agreed to try it. I decided to be adventurous and grabbed a hot pink one called "Doll".

So, after my usual routine of foundation, powder and nude blush ( yes, girlfriends… since we are about to try a wild color…. Let's give it the focus it deserves and let's give those smoky eyes, dark pink blush a rest.. for now), I tried it on. And trulily, it's a winner. Ok, fine… my exact words were "Lola, winner sya!" For one, application was easy. Without much effort, the lipstick just glided across my lips. I suddenly remembered my first lipstick from Wet N' Wild that I bought a million years ago that begged the question… "OMG, may lubricant ba ito?" :-D. The color was also perfect. My lips just popped up with rich color and since it was so rich in moisture and pigment, the color stayed with me for quite a bit…..even after two hours of endless chatting, a cup of tea, a tuna sandwich and some slices of cheese, my lips were still pink! But this time, it was a more natural look… I just sent my darling sister a text…… I need to get another one and the NYX (get it! Nyx..next… pfft! ) color I want to get it is something nude ;-)
