Hello everyone! NYX haul coming to get ya.
Soo, I've been waiting for a tiny little package from Makeup Geek Store (http://www.makeupgeek.com/store/) for weeeeks and it finally got here! With customs however :( dang it! I was so hoping that I could buy all that lovely NYX stuff from Makeup Geek Store without customs, but nah. Guess I'll have to buy it from eBay in the future. However, if you live in the States you can buy all you want from Makeup Geek Store without having to pay customs! :)
I had to pay 222kr.!! Are you kidding me?! That's a lot! It's the equivalent of 40 American dollars or 26 British pounds :( makes me sad to think of.. So! On to the haul and all the lovely stuff I got :D
Group photo! Say cheese, ya'll.
Now for the glitter liner :D it's called a Candy Glitter Liner (über cute name) and this one is in "08 Gold" - cus we're nearing Christmas and I'm thinking of doing some golden eye makeup for Christmas eve. I haven't swatched it yet, I'll do that when I get the time (I'm currently writing this huuge assignment in school, and let's just put it like this: it's not going too well..) but it looks super pretty :) Just golden glitter in a clear base. Can't wait to try it out! BONUS: Look at that adorable pompom attached to the top of the lid?! That is SO cute!! :')
I wanted to try out their Mega Shine Lip Gloss seeing that it's really cheap and it's available in many cute colors, and so obviously I got curious and wanted to see if it really was all that jazz :) It is! This is the only thing that I've tried on so far .. cus it's a lipgloss and it takes about two seconds to apply :) It's super smooth, soft, smells fantastic (fruity and sweet), doesn't feel sticky, doesn't have any weird taste and it stays on quite well :) I personally like the smell but if you can't stand scented lipglosses this might not be for you.
I bought it in the color "155 Perfect", which is a sweet pinkish nude with tiny tiny silver sparkles in it. On the lips it's just a very soft nudish pink :) not trying to make a stupid joke here or anything.. But it's perfect! :D lulz.
aand here comes the cutest thing EVER :D it has a tiny bow on top of its lid :') that's just.. It's just so cute! I love tiny bows :)
Ok, enough with the lipgloss already. I also bought a beeautiful lipstick :) it's one of their Round Lipsticks (.. cus it's round) in the color "575 Black Cherry" which on their website looks like a dark red. Haven't tried it yet or swatched it on my hand, but it looks pretty! :) on my photo however it looks kinda weird :( kinda pink? Well, it's not. Don't be fooled! If you google "Nyx lipstick Black Cherry" and go to the photo section of Google (lol, I don't know it's called) you'll see how it looks for real :) gooorgeous!
Also, I got the Jumbo Eye Pencil in "604 Milk" that is like.. the most hyped makeup thing on Youtube :b Just to see if it's really that great :) I'm exciiteed!
I've heard soo many great things about NYX's loose pearl powder, so I thought I'd give it a go. I bought it in "02 Pearl" which is a pretty safe color :b what's weird though, is that it doesn't say what color it is on the little bottle thingy? You know, there's usually a little sticker on the bottom saying, for example, "02 Pearl" so that you know what the color is called.. But there isn't anything alike that on this one :( kinda weird.
And the bottle is a bit strange as well, I think.. It's not like MAC's pigments that has a wide opening (mouth, gap, hole, whatever) - this one has a strange little one. I'm a bit excited to see how well that works out.
And last but most certainly not least - this is by far the most interesting bit I think ;) - we have the eyeshadow palettes! :D
I bought three: Color Combinations for brown eyes (Mysterious Brown Eyes), Color Combinations for blue eyes (Sexy Blue Eyes) and one palette from the Runway Collection called "Champagne and Caviar". However, I can only show you the two first of these :( cus the last one is a present for my mum :D so I can't really open that and show it to you.
I'll show you one photo of the packaging, one photo of the eyeshadows without flash and one photo of the eyeshadows with flash :) in that order!
Because I have brown eyes I'm gonna start out with the brown eye palette. "Mysterious Brown Eyes" is a really nice and warm palette with the exception of the green and the purples. Actually, I think this would suit almost anyone :) also, it has some great every day wear colors! Can't wait to try it out :)
And now for the "Sexy Blue Eyes" palette :) this is without a doubt GREAT for blue eyes! Just to make it even more clear :D haha. It's gorgeous! Beautiful blues, greys, bronzes and some few others. Damn. Those colors are pretty :) I'll try it out on myself of course, but just to see if the combinations really make blue eyes pop I'll and find someone with blue eyes to try it out on :)
The last palette I bought, "Champagne and Caviar" from the Runway Collection, is beautiful too from what I've seen online. Which is all I've seen so far :( but! If you're interested check out this review (http://shimmerkisser.blogspot.com/2009/07/review-nyx-10-color-palette-champagne.html) of the palette with photos and swatches! :) this review definitely made me want to buy one for myself as well :D
Anyways, that's all I had to say about my latest haul :) Hopefully I'll have time to blog more in the new year!
Lots of love,
Christine
