My Opinion:

 

I'm a lipliner girl, I always fill up my lips with a liner before lipstick or gloss, because I don't usually touch up my lips and a liner will make it last longer.

 

I've never tried NYX's lipliner before, because they were kind of expensive if you compare them with Jordana or my favorite Teen Teen, which were all under US$2.00.

 

I think I got these when Cherry Culture was having a discount, and was so excited when I've swatched these on my hands, the colors were so vibrant and beautiful, but when I've tried it on my lips it was awful.

  

I don't usually have chapped lips, but whenever I used these, my lips were all chapped and dry....

My Opinion:

I've never been a huge fan of bubble gum pink, I do love how it looks on others, but I'm just unsure if I could pull thru. Recently, I've tried  Nyx Stick Blush in Magnolia which is another bubble gum pink blush that just seems to brighten up my whole complexion. Since then I've been more courageous and started to try out other bubble gum shades products.

I've tried using this lipstick in full strength and didn't like the results, I think this look alot more flattering when I sheer it out.

My Opinion:

I was super excited about this product, because as I've mentioned before, I'm hopeless with liquid liners, and I've been dying to do the cat eye look.

 

This liner looks cool, feels great, the product did not smudge, but I was still unable to do the cat eye, I guess I should just stick with the advice that I've got, which is "Practice makes perfect".

My Opinion:

I never had a lipstick that has got glitters in it, and I hated the texture. This product is super dry and it doesn't apply evenly, I had to rub my fingers over to even it out.

Although I did not like the texture, the shade was just perfect, a few days ago I was really sick and even after makeup I still look miserable, I've picked this up and after applying it, it actually made me look fresh and bright.

According to NYX's webpage:

NYX’s Concealer Jars have been reformulated with a moisture-rich, emollient formula designed to conceal discoloration, dark circles, blemishes and provide longer-lasting, full coverage. Applied with a brush, the concentrated concealer slides on like silk. Use the lavender for sallow skin, green to hide reddish imperfections, yellow for under-eye darkness and orange for under-eye darkness for those with olive skin tones. Available in 12 shades

INGREDIENTS: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Mineral Oil, BHT, Microcrystalline Wax, Nylon-66,
Octyldodecyl Myristate, Silica, Butylparaden, Fragrance, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Ceresin, Dipentaerythrityl Hexahydroxystearate/ Hexarosinate, Polyethylene, Sorbitan Sequioleate, Tocopheryl Acetate. MAY CONTAIN: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Chromium Oxide Greens, Ultramarines.

My Opinion:

I've got this concealer for awhile, but found the texture to be too thick for my taste and left it on my makeup graveyard. Recently I've watched a video from Wayne about "5 different ways to apply concealer", and have try it out with this product.

I found that this concealer works best with the wet stippling brush method, because it sheers out the concealer, but since I've got serious genetics circles, I had to use the yellow one to correct and the beige one to conceal. I've finally found a way to make this concealer work, but I'm not crazy about it.

My Opinion:

About a year ago I've mentioned that I do not like to wear mascaras or liners, but now only after a year, I won't even leave my house unless I have those items on, and I'm really amazed at how much I have changed within this year.

I've initially started with pencils and only recently started with liquids, and this is actually my very first liquid liner, and I wasn't even sure of what to expect.

I've really liked this liquid liner because the applicator is very thin and I can actually achieve a very thin line along the lash line. This product didn't smudge or run, so far I'm very satisfied with it, my only complain is that it isn't dark enough and I always have to go over it a second time.
