NYX Philippines sent me goodies for review. I was a bit giddy receiving their products. I could still remember when I was just starting my blog years ago and NYX Round lipsticks were very popular online so I ended up buying a lot of colors from an an international website. NYX Round lipsticks boosted my blog stats because people were going to my blog for lip swatches. Sadly, my previous photos all got deleted. Pero keri lang hindi ko matake siguro na makita mga Makeup of the day photos ko before!!! hahaha Moving on, I got these makeup from NYX.
I got the shades Fruit Punch and Hunk. When I first got hold of these lipsticks, the weather in MNL was very humid and hot back then. I even thought that these lipstick were on the verge of a meltdown because when I swatched them at the back of my hand these lipsticks felt like breaking. Good thing I did not give them away because these are very nice lipsticks!! They are a hybrid of a lipstick and balm. They looked like tinted lipbalms on my lips! They feel so light and moisturizing. They give off a glossy finish or healthy sheen on the lips. The texture is creamy and buttery. The color pay off is surprisingly good. Most glossy lipsticks do not work on my dark lips but with these lipsticks, I can wear them on their own without any lip liners. Also, these lipsticks lasted a good three hours on my lips without retouch but sans eating/drinking. However, despite not lasting on the lips that much these lippies leave a nice pink stain the lips. These lippies do not have any scent. My only problem with these butter lipsticks is the fact that they do not work well with dry chapping lips. Because they are glossy and hydrating, they have the tendency to emphasize dryness and flaking.
I was surprised that both shades are wearable for everyday wear. Fruit Punch is a bright coral fuchsia pink while Hunk is a purplish hot pink. I got other lipsticks but decided not to open them first because I have so many lipsticks opened in my stash right now. I got NYX Full Throttle lipstick in Lethal Kiss and a NYX Suede Lipstick. Have you seen Zoella's recent bronze makeup tutorial? I am lemming for the NYX Suede Lipstick in Sandstorm because it looks so good on her!!
I also got this NYX Illuminator in the shade Chaotic. This is a nice light peachy pink shade with gold sparkles. It delivers a very beautiful glow on the skin but it does not look like a highlighter on my skin. Instead, it looks like a light blush with sheen. The color is very subtle and glowing but does not lasts long on my cheeks. On fairer skin, this illuminator will definitely show up as a blush.
The product itself is smooth and blendable. Despite having sparkles it does not feel gritty at all.
Lastly, I tried the Green Tea Blotting Paper. This smells so good. If you are not a fan of green tea scent, this one is not for you. I do notice that this blotting paper works well for dry to normal skin. This will definitely work for those with oily to super oily skin.
They also sent me a tinted moisturizer but the shade I got was too dark for my skin tone. I will probably be mixing it with my lighter shades of foundation to put it to good use.
I miss trying out NYX!!! Thankfully, they are now available in the Philippines.
