NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

Hey bloggers,
so if you read my other post( cream blush) i was basically giving you the outline of where i purchase Nyx products.  So this post i can go straight to the review.

Overview


I purchased the color Stockholm because i wanted a nude color for spring. I was very satisfied with the color it was the exact color i had hoped.

The applicator was kind of messy when i first opened it.















Review

Color: I can honestly say that i love this color, it's a great nude color perfect for a smokey look.

Pigmentation: The color is very pigmented, Nyx impressed me with my first purchase

Staying Power: All i can say is WOW, this product lasted for 5-8 hours for me. At the end of the day the color faded a bit but the color was still there.

Overview: I would recommend this to anyone. To achieve that perfect soft nude lips you would have to exfoliate your lips before applying. The description is true after applying i wait for 15 sec and it instantly turns to matte. If you love matte lipsticks then this is for you, if not then just put some clear or nude lip gloss on and your lips are luscious. I wouldn't recommend applying too much because it makes your lips cakey after.

PROS:
- Matte finish
- Smells like Cupcakes/vanilla (it's not a strong smell so don't worry)
- Lasting power is great
- Texture is creamy not too watery or thick
- Packaging is cute
- Travel size

CONS:
- cakey on dry lips ( make sure to exfoliate first)

Rating:

9/10

NYX Rouge Cream Blush Review

hey bloggers,
I'm back with a review on the NYX cream blush ( retails for $6.50 USD) but i got a steal from the site porkdaisy.com and only got it for $5.50  . I recommend this site because it sells discounted Nyx products and when you purchase products you get reward points which you can use on your next purchase. Best of all their shipping is super duper fast i live in Canada and got my products  in 5 days. On to the review

Overview


This is how the Blush looks like


I purchased the color Natural which is a soft coral with a mix of light pink color, there isn't any shimmer in it which i think is great.


Review

Color: The color is very pigmented, which means a little goes a long way. The color is what i expected and i'm very satisfied with the pigmentation and the color.


Texture: The texture is soft like other cream blushes, it's not too soft like greasy or oily but just creamy. I really love this blush because it's very easy to blend.

Overall: I really love this product and i would recommend it to anyone. With it's color payoff you can't go wrong, it's really soft and easy to blend. This color is great for spring, i recommend using a stipple brush/synthetic brush to apply.

Review: LUSH Eau Roma Water


Hey bloggers,
if you haven't already know the store LUSH it's a cosmetic store full of handmade soaps and beauty products. The prices are affordable but can range from $2-50+. The quality is great because for me to know that it's handmade and all the ingredients are listed on the product it makes me feel safe and makes my skin feel healthy. I love going into the store LUSH because right when i head in there's like an aroma scent, there are so many different scents and it feels like your in a garden. The best thing when i go into the store is how friendly the staff are. They greet you and show you some stuff they recommend. Well not all LUSH store's have friendly people, so if your lucky then you can try out some free samples. Now onto the review

I recently purchased the Eau Roma Water toner. It retails for $8.95 for 100ml, the larger version is for $17.95 for 250ml. I just got the smaller version because i wanted to test it out. May i just say that it is AMAZING, it smells like roses and has this unexplainable smell it's like plants but in a good way. If you have the chance stop buy to your nearest LUSH store and smell it. 

PROS:

- The nozzle is easy to spray
- Hydrates your face
- Leaves your face smooth and glowing
- Has a great smell
- Comes in two sizes

CONS:
- NO CONS

VERDICT:
I would recommended this to anyone. The nozzle makes it easy to spray and sprays just enough product that you can gently pat on your face. The description defines the product perfectly, great for all skin types. I recommend you getting the smaller size first to test it out then after if you use it on a regular basis then purchase the larger size.
