Review: NYX Round Lip Gloss (with swatches)

NYX girls new lip gloss. 36 pretty new shades to highlight that sexy pucker of yours. Feels silky smooth, long lasting, and the color in the bottle is the color on.

Quality: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Price: $3.00 - $2.00
Size: 0.085 oz
Where To Buy: nyxcosmetics.com / cherryculture.com / shopcraze.com
Would I Buy Again: Absolutely!

---------

I'll keep it short and sweet. These are the best lip glosses I've even tried. Not only are they a great price, but they have a great texture & pigmentation, are long lasting, and have a good smell/taste.

Note: these were reformulated a few months ago to fix the packaging and change the smell from lemon to sherbet.

PROS:
-most are very pigmented, the sheerer ones are layer-able
-very affordable
-wonderful texture, not too thin or thick
-long lasting
-good range of colors and finishes
-cute packaging
-smells good, like sherbet ice cream
-not sticky
-some have lots of shimmer, some have none, there is something for everyone

CONS:
-if you don't like the smell of sherbet ice cream you may not like the these

Cherryculture Haul: NYX & Sinful Colors + NOTD

I got a really great package from CherryCulture yesterday!

I got some NYX round lip glosses. You know how they use to smell like lemon air freshener? Now they smell like SHERBERT ICE CREAM!!!! (not too strongly though) And they fixed the stopper so it doesn't come out.

All these colors are so gorgeous!


I got some more Sinful Colors nail polish. I am becoming obsessed with these. I am a little sad because on the CherryCulture website it said Hypnotizing Trend was called Katrina, and I wanted it because thats my name. The number on the sticker & CC is the same so I'm pretty sure its not a mistake which the actual color.


I couldn't wait to try out this color.

& here I put on a few of the NYX hearts

CherryCulture NYX Lip Haul!

I got my CherryCulture haul yesterday, I am in love with all the colors. Best $12 I ever spent!

7 NYX round lipsticks, 2 round lip glosses.
Tomorrow if I am feeling energized I will do swatches and on-lip pics.

Wild Orchid and Doll Pink
they do smell like lemon air freshner, but I don't mind it and the texture is lovely. I will definitely get more colors.

Review: Mark Kiss Therapy Lip Balm in Sheer Peach


Help condition and soothe your lips with this blend of rose extract, honey and vitamin E that adds a sheer wash of color.

Quality: 3 out of 5
Package: 4 out of 5
Size: 0.42 oz
Price: $4
Where To Buy: Avon.com or Mark.com

This Super Smoothing lip balm comes in a cute coral colored tin. You'd expect it to smell like peaches because of the name but it actually smells very strongly of roses and you can smell it while wearing it. It doesn't have any color at all, I swatched it on my arm but it was totally clear so I didn't bother taking a photo. The balm is a bit thicker and heavier then I like, but its not sticky. I don't think it does all that much in the way of moisturizing so don't get it for that purpose. I prefer apply it with a brush.

All in all, I probably wouldn't buy this again. I like the packaging but the balm doesn't do anything for me.

I hear Angels singing!

Why? Because NYX just came out with a new lip gloss and it looks divine!

NYX girls new lip gloss. 36 pretty new shades to highlight that sexy pucker of yours. Feels silky smooth, long lasting, and the color in the bottle is the color on.

These were just released on the NYX website, so I haven't tried any of them but I will try to get my hands on them as soon as possible (I just spend $140 on mu and clothes this week, so its not going to be any time soon lol). They are priced at $3.00

I'd like to try some of these shades: Golden Red, Sparkle, Peach, Strawberry, Apricot (lol I am going to go dig some fruit out of the fridge soon here), Kiss, Soap Opera Queen, and Ballerina Pink.
