My NYX Collection

8 comments

While NYX isn't entirely new in Australia, it still excites me that we're starting to get more and more American drugstore products hitting our shelves! Even with inflated Australian prices NYX still is a very affordable brand, especially considering the quality. These are the products I own from the brand and a mini review on each!

1. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils
Yes, they crease. No, they are not a good standalone base. If these are things you're looking for I would direct you to the Maybelline Colour Tattoos instead. These are really great products when used with a good primer. They come in a  ton of colours and blend out so easily. They are a cult favourite for a reason! While 'Yoghurt' is probably my favourite colour of these three, 'Milk' is definitely my most used. It is a great opaque white that makes any shadow you put on top of it stand out even more.


2. NYX Blush in Peach
My only issue with this product is its name! This is not a peachy shade at all, but it's the beige lipgloss thing all over again! This blush is a bright, matte pink and I'm in love! The pigmentation of this blush is spot on. It is strong, but not so strong that you're scared to put such a bright colour anywhere near your face. I swirl my brush lightly and get the right amount every time.

3. NYX Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul
I love pink lips and I love the matte look, so this was a no-brainer. The formula is quite heavy, and I can see why it wouldn't sit well with people who don't have immaculately exfoliated and moisturised lips. I know that I can only wear this at certain times, but when I do, it's love.



4. NYX Love in Paris Palette in 'Parisian Chic'
These are by no means consistently pigmented shadows, and to be honest, I was a little disappointed because I'd heard such great things about NYX shadows. However, there are a few stand out shades that perform as well as I'd expected! Firstly, the middle champagne in the top row is gorgeous. The matte white and brown next to it are also really great as a highlight and crease colour.


5. NYX Matte Bronze in 'Light'
I am by no stretch a bronzer girl. As a last attempt to find a bronzer I liked I bought this as the shade reminded me of the Bobbi Brown bronzer. It can run a little orange if overused, but I really don't find myself putting that amount on, so it is fine for me. I still don't feel like I've found "the one" and I don't know if I'm willing to shell out on a high end bronzer that might disappoint me as well! I sometimes think my face shape is just uncontourable.

What are your must haves from NYX? I know my next purchase will definitely be a butter gloss!

  4. I have two shades of the NYX butter gloss and one shade of a NYX butter lipstick. I highly recommend getting a gloss because they're beautiful colors, and very pigmented. The lipstick was a bit of a disappointment because it's very sheer and after seeing how pigmented the glosses were, I was also expecting the lipstick to be pigmented and long-lasting, but it is the complete opposite so I definitely recommend the gloss but not in particular the lipstick!
