Haul + Review: NYX Lip Products (Soft Matte Lipstick)

 

Hello peeps! Today I'm going to do a mini beauty haul on lips products. They are some of my latest beauty purchases- NYX Lip Products Haul. In this post, I included only Soft Matte Lipsticks. 

For Round Lipsticks and the Lacquer Pot I will be doing a separate post, click on the link.

First of all, it seems like everyone is craze about NYX's Matte lip products on YouTube or Beauty Blog. So I have convinced myself to buy a few colors to try out. 

Matte lipsticks can be very tricky. You may have problems such as clumps or it won't glide smoothly or color is uneven. 

I personally think that there are too little product in each tube.

They are not difficult to glide on. But from the above picture you can already see the clump on Hippie Chic.

I am very happy with Audrey. I would have to say out Audrey and Hippie Chic, my favorite is Audrey. The deeper color range such as Audrey is good and color is consistent on my lips. I believe because I have a tanned skin.

This is Matte Hippie Chic, a light, creamy nude-pink color. I find the Hippie Chic is not that flattering on me because it feels dry which is evident by the untoned lines in my lips and chappy lips. The color is not even too no matter how I apply it thin or thick. Nude/ pale range of color such as Hippie Chic color tends to dry out and patchy. I guess this nude/ pale color doesn't suit on my tanned skin. 

P/S: I applied a a thin layer of SKll Lipbalm just to avoid drying my lips out.  Pictures were taken right after I applied the lipstick. Can still see some shine but it appears more matte as it dries out.

There are more than 20 shades available for NYX's Soft Matte range. I made my order at Colours Cosmetics Malaysia for only RM25 each. Find them out! ^^

Pros:

- nice mild fruity smell of the lipstick.

- packaging is simple and ordinary and easy to store.

Cons:

- cannot be worn alone, I need to wear a thin layer of lipbalm before hand.

- textures are not always consistent. Deeper color generally good but nude/pale color tends to dry out and patchy.

- not lasting at all. but when removing it, it stains on lips.

What do you think of NYX's Soft Matte Lipsticks? 

Are they a deal breaker?

I am looking for comments and suggestions as always!

Whole range of NYX Slim Eye

I don't believe in their color chart that showing. The color is always a big difference when apply on skin. Same to their lipsticks. As you will see from the picture below, the actual swatch is so different with the color chart that NYX provides.

NYX 936 Sky Glitter Eye/Eyebrow Pencil. Only believe in the color that stained on the pencil itself but not the color chart.

How vibrant and pigmented it shows on my skin.

Pros:
- inexpensive compare to other brands.
- big selection of fun and funky color range.
- smooth application, easy to blend.
- Hypoallergenic and cruelty free.


Cons:
- it claims that non-smearing and applies like cream but holds like gel. But it still smudges on my skin. 

Tip:
 but if use it with vibrant eyeshadow as base, i think the smudging problem will be solved!

Review: Delicious Straits Quay

LIKE their FACEBOOK to leave your comment or review.

I have read many negative feedback from their Facebook Page. Well to me, a restaurant for sure has their downtime with terrible service or management. Most important is they take the words and keep in mind to improve it day by day! ^^

Love the interior of the restaurant.

Hot Mocha of mine.

The Cottage Pie I ordered. It's filled with potato and minced meat/chicken with tomato sauce.

 I went there a few times with my bestie when we need a light meal and a chat time. To me it will be one of the best bubbly restaurant in Penang.

Review: elf Mechanical Eyelash Curlerelf Mechanical Eyelash Curler

elf Mechanical Eyelash Curler

 Been using this curler for few weeks now. All to all, it is not my favorite curler. I mean the curler does not have the perfect curl for my eye shape. I think it is because I have a small and round shape of eyes.

It is quite bulky to me to keep in my cosmetic pouch. It comes with a stopper/holder so that the curler would not expand when it's not in using. But compare to my old one (bought it from Sasa) the Sasa one is more convenient but I lost it. T.T

I'm not going to do a Pros and Cons for this curler as I don't really like it in overall. I think I will most probably keep on searching for a better one that suit to my eye shape! ^^


What's your all-time-fav Eyelash Curler? Hope you can leave a comment below and share with me! ^^
