So i came back home & saw 2 parcels jutting out of my mail box & was SO excited!!! Thank goodness no one took them! They were practically hanging out of the mail box!
YAYS to express post! Because i really wanted them before the Easter break (Not that i was going anywhere fancy) I just wanted them quick :pFirst up from Crushcosmetics.com , i happened to chance upon this site & for all you aussie girls out there who have been hearing so much about NYX but have not had a chance to try them out (like meeee) go to the site & try it out! :D I really regret not getting eyeshadow palettes! I swear i got into eyeshadow about 2 hours after i placed my orders :( Major upsetttt! But well there is always next time! & besides that gave me an excuse to do a MINI MAC haul :p just a few eyeshadows!
Does this make you excited at all? (: (: (:I have never tried anything from NYX but hearing all the raves i wanted everything!
First thing i got, being a blush addict! I got a blush in Mocha
First thing i got, being a blush addict! I got a blush in Mocha
My Mocha blushI must say i am not 100% impressed with it, it is really powdery & the colour payout isn't fantastic! Though i'm a blush addict i really like blushes which have a really nice texture too so i don't just purchase any blush! Thus only ordering one blush! The colour isn't too bad, looks quite simliar to what it looks in the pan, i'll probably use it but i'll use a cremeblend blush before i apply this just for better payoff! (:
Ratings : 3/5 poofs!
From left to right : Indian pink, Tea rose, Honey, Doll, B52, Thalia
This made me SO EXCITED!!!! I was jumping all over the place! I'm also obsessed with lipsticks (as you can see!) hahas I really wanted quite neutral shades! Besides Honey which is totally unflattering on me! I LOVE the rest!
Surprisingly the lippies are really really creamy! I kid you not, for the price you pay you get real quality! Which really made me happy! i really liked it! I will probably be the next person you hear raving about the lipsticks too! They colour payout of is FANTASTIC! (look at swatches below!) For less then 1/3 of the price we pay compared to MAC in aus, NYX is only AUD3.75 or 3.25! How fantastic! (:

Lipgloss : Natural, Lip pencil : Bloom & Rose brown
The lipgloss is pretty! It has a nice sheen to it, though i don't like the applicator at all! :( It is doe foot (which i'm cool with) but it is not a straight doe foot applicator, its sorta crooked which i feel makes it really hard to get any product! :(
Ratings : 3/5 poofs! (because of the applicator!)

When i saw the lip pencils, my first thought was : i did not purchase any lip pencils! I double checked my receipt & true enough i didn't. These were given complimentary to me by crushcosmetics! I'm not sure if it's because i spend over a certain amount what so ever!
I'm starting to use lip pencils, but i know minimal about them, i think the colours are pretty & they are quite soft. Besides that i really can't comment, it was a really nice thing to receive it though & they happen to be colours i would use! How awesome! I have yet to try them but will try them out before rating them!
Swatches aheadddd!
Just for reference, i'm an NC42-45!

Zero, Bourbon & Lucky!
Top to bottom : Lucky, Bourbon, ZeroI'm really glad i bought the minis from her before i purchase the full sized ones, i've heard so much about it that i really wanted them! :)
The pencils are REALLY SOFT, softest i've ever tried & the colour payoff is goood! & they UD makes awesome colours too! (: I was really pleased with that!
I tried it on the day after i received it & was a tad upset :( I know MOST people say this really stays on for them on their waterline etc. I was hoping it will for me too but it didn't! I must say that i have SUPER WATERY EYES, & i have not used a liner which has stayed on my waterline at all! Even MAC's fluidline which is alright when i line my upper lid but when it line my waterline i look like a panda after a few hours.
The ONLY liner that works for me is MAC's liquidlast (i know i'm not supposed to use liquid liner to line my water line but i use an angled brush to apply the product & not using the brush directly!!).
I honestly think that Revlon colourstay does a slightly better job then urban decay ): Oh wells i'm still in the hunt to look for something which is able to stay on my waterline & not make me look like a panda! HAHA! but with watery eyes nothing works! If you know anything which might potentially work, holla me i'm all up for it! :D
Thanks for reading guys & i hope you enjoyed this!
Have a fabullousss weekend & stay safe!
