NYX Haul

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but NYX is my absolute favourite cosmetics brand. So imagine how ecstatic I was when my parents sent me  all these amazing goodies from their trip overseas! I wish I could buy these in Australia, but the range at Target is quite limited and they rarely introduce any new products which is a shame.

What I will be reviewing today:

☆Honey Dew Me Up Primer

☆Six Liquid Suede Lipsticks

☆Plumping

☆Wonder Stick 

Before I start my reviews, just let it be known, that I love all of these products. I can't really remember disliking any NYX product so they're still amazing in my eyes. 

Honey Dew Me Up Skin Serum/Primer - $17

Look at that sparkle!

I remember seeing a photo of this primer on a Buzzfeed article ages ago and I was just hypnotised by the little gold flakes and just generally how cute this product is! It is a lot smaller than I thought it would be, but a little goes a long way with this product. It contains collagen which is good, provided there's some form of acid to help the skin absorb said collagen [Which it does. Hyaluronic acid is amazing!]. It has an unusual scent, not unpleasant, just unusual. Maybe a bit flowery? The applicator is like a little spade, which surprised me, but it does scoop out more than enough for one application. It is a little bit expensive but seeing as how it boasts collagen and gold flakes, it's a lot cheaper than some other alternatives out there. Overall, this primer/serum feels really lovely, it definitely felt like it left a protective layer on my face. 

Liquid Suede Lipsticks - $7 US

Love, love, LOVE! These are gorgeously matte and feel kind of velvety. The colour payoff is amazing and in the case of some of the deeper shades, tinting too! Seriously, these lipsticks do not budge. I would be interested in knowing what the difference is between the matte lipsticks and suede lipsticks though. Maybe these ones are just a tad bit less matte? They're definitely creamier. I definitely recommend wearing a lip primer underneath, especially if you wear one of the darker, more staining colours. I love the packaging too, purely because the tubes have this little black faux-gem on top which reminds me of those Lip Smackers that had the cute little shiny gems on top when I was a child. Overall, I love these and I think I'll try to track down Stone Fox & Vintage next.

Pump It Up Lip Plumper - Jessica - $5.50

Lip plumpers are so magical! I love them. No, they won't give a dramatic change, but they do help smooth out lines, giving the illusion of fuller lips. NYX plumpers apparently utilise something called Maxi Lip which is "a special peptide which is known to improve collagen synthesis, leading to fuller looking lips". Most plumpers tend to have some form of mint infusion which causes mild agitation to the outer membrane, hence, puffiness. So it's interesting to see NYX going with another approach. Unfortunately, when I used this, I didn't feel or notice much of a difference. But to be honest, I don't even care, this is even just a lovely gloss. Look at all that sparkly shimmer and such a perfect colour!

Wonder Stick - Light/Medium - $13

Now this is a perfect product. A contour stick is one item I desperately needed in my life! It's a great alternative to some of the more expensive cream contour kits which can cost upwards of $50 whereas this Wonder Stick costs around $13US. Amazing! It's easy to blend & the colours are great, a very useful contouring tool for beginners.


Overall: NYX is still no.1 in y heart and I feel ultra glamorous with all my beautiful new products
