NYX Haul

Late last Wednesday night I was lying in bed fighting a losing battle with sleep and was casually browsing makeup sites. I had just made a £30 order with Illamasqua (which was very naughty of me) and then came across the NYX website. I never knew there was a Uk based website and furthermore they were having a SALE!! :O 

These are the products I picked up. 

So as you can see I picked up 2 lipsticks, a lip liner, a blusher and a setting spray. 

The lipsticks were part of the Black Label rage and were reduced from £8.00 to £4.00. The lipsticks actually came with 2 different types of outer card packaging and when I tried to put them into my lipstick holder, they were too big, 1 would go in slightly, whereas the other wouldn't fit at all. That's when I noticed the lipsticks were actually different sizes... strange, you would expect lipsticks from the same range to be presented the same.

Raspberry has a red undertone although I thought it would lean towards a more pink/ purple undertone, like a raspberry! 

Mid-night Dinner has a bright pink undertone although the name suggests it should be a dark red colour.

Rasberry is on the left and Mid-Night Dinner is on the right. Both lipsticks are very moisturising and long lasting. I love the packaging, although I wish they fitted into my lippy holder! 

I picked up a lip liner in the colour Nectar, which just sounds delicious! It was reduced from £3.50 to £2.50. I'm not one for lip liners, but wanted to try it out and see whether they made my lipstick longer lasting.

A peachy undertone, I think it will be perfect as a base for the majority of my lipsticks.

I purchased this setting spray because I had run out of my Mac Fix+. This was a product priced at £8.00 for 60ml, Mac Fix+ retails at £13 for 100ml, so I thought I'd give this product a try. It feels light to the skin and seems to do its job, leaving a matte finish to the skin. I think I will still repurchase MAC Fix+ but I'm in no rush!

This blush is perfect if you're like me and have an NC44 skin tone. The bright pink gets those cheeks looking rosy in no time! 

I had actually purchased a 5 shadow eyeshadow palette but when it arrived, the middle colour was smashed and some of the eyeshadow dust had spread to the rest of the products. I was gutted! I have emailed the website and sent images to show the damage, I will shortly be getting a refund on the product as they have run out of the palette. But I do get to keep the product which was reduced from £8.00 to £5.50.

Bye lovelies, until next time. Stay happy, healthy and appreciative of life :) xxx
