Hey lovelies!

Just sharing a short swatch post today!

I got these two liquid eye tints from a classic, affordable makeup brand, NYX!

NYX Vivid Brights Colored Liquid Liner in Vivid Blossom

Hello dears!

I'm getting fond of adding another eyeliner on top of my black eyeliner lately, usually a brightly colored one, or even white. It just adds a pop to the overall eye makeup and I think it looks good in my almost hooded eyelids.

Here's one eyeliner I like to use...

October-November (2018) Haul

Hey dolls!

How was your Christmas? Mine has been pleasant and I spent Christmas eve shopping and eating, which is pretty much a must during the holidays. Haha! Anyway, I'll share with you my Christmas haul sometime soon but for now, let me share with you the products I bought during the last two months. The sales were endless during the -ber months and online shopping sites took advantage of the festive season by creating soooo many massive discounts and I am one of the victims of shopping splurges. The last couple of months were stressful for me also so a good retail therapy happened and I felt better. Hahaha!

Even though I used a lot of money to buy these, I have no regrets and I'm happy with most of my buys and will make reviews (if I haven't posted them yet) and post them on the blog. So without further a do, here are the items I bought during October and November this year...

First off are my BeautyMNL purchases. They had many buy 1 take 1 products. Some of the items in the picture above were shared with officemates so that we don't have to pay separate shipping fees.

NYX Professional Makeup: Love Contours All

Hello beauties!

I'd like to share with you my new make-up palette which my aunt gave to me.

I have to say I LOVE the HUGE mirror. It's just perfect for when you're traveling abroad and you just want to bring one palette for everything.

Being an absolute fan of nude make-up and simple contouring, this palette for me is just perfect.

The nine small circles in the middle are all eye shadows. The big circles in the side are a combination of highlighters and bronzers. Lastly the two rectangle in the bottom are brow powders. Sadly though, this palette does not come with a brush, though I doubt that it'll be a big issue.

Eye Shadow swatches

The order is from the left most side being 1 and the right most being 9 on the swatch and on the palette, the upper most right (white) is 1 then the lower most left is 9. As you can see, the palette is very pigmented and I hardly need any primer to ensure that the colors are visible. I also find that it's not that hard to blend out and build.

Colors 1, 4, 6, 8, and 9 are shimmer-free and they go on matte. They're perfect for those contour jobs for making your crease look deeper and all that. I also LOVE that they added 9 which is a deep black color. Some of the nude/natural palettes that I have don't incorporate black in them. The few that do, are more of a gray/dark gray color and is not really black. 

The rest of the 9 eye shadows (2, 3, 5, 7) have fine glitter/shimmer but don't look/come off as metallic. Even with the shimmer, the finish still passes as nude/natural.

Bronzer and Highlighter Swatch

So for the bronzer and highlighter pairs, the pair on the left (swatch) correspond to the two on the right (palette) in the picture below. While those on the right (swatch) correspond to those on the left (palette). Sorry about the confusing referencing. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of highlighters but I do prefer the gold-looking finish one. The shimmer is also very fine. I love that they have two shades of bronzers which just makes this palette perfect for when you go for a beach trip this summer. You won't have to worry that the bronzer you brought won't match your tan since you already have a palette that covers your before and after skin tone. ;)

Last but not least, are the brow powders.

Again, I am loving the two shades. I do like that they're not too pigmented so that you don't accidentally overdo your brows.

Overall, I am loving this palette and have kind of used it more in the past few days as opposed to my ever trusty UD Naked. I looked this particular product in BeautyMNL and Wastons but sadly I did not find one. But I am sure they have other similar palettes to this and if you happen to know them, do share them with us.

That's it for the night hope you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Cheers,

LIZ

But first, here are pics of the labels on the packaging:

The color is a rich orchid shade—a beautiful mix of purple and pink. As mentioned in my other posts about the other NYX Butter Glosses, this product is a gloss that keeps the lips hydrated. It's non-sticky too so it's very comfortable to wear. It's the kind of lip gloss that I like. :D

What do you think of the NYX Butter Gloss in Raspberry Tart? What's shade from the Butter Gloss line are you most interested to try?

NYX Butter gloss in Red Velvet

Hi dearies!

I'm a fan of bold, matte, red lipsticks, but there are times where I like to make my look extra fun with a glossy finish. Here's a product that gives just that—red and glossy!

NYX Butter gloss in Red Velvet

This product was given by my friend along with other three butter glosses of the same brand.

Check out the product info on the labels:

Description from the website:

Buttery soft and silky smooth, our decadent Butter Gloss is now available in 12 more sumptuous shades! Each glossy color delivers sheer to medium coverage that melts onto your lips and is never sticky, leaving your lips soft, supple and kissable.

Ingredients:

Mineral Oil/Paraffinum Liquidum/Huile Minérale, Polybutene, Diisostearyl Malate, Beeswax/Cera Alba/Cire d’Abeille, Silica Dimethyl Silylate [NANO], Microcrystalline Wax/Cera Microcristallina/Cire Microcristalline, Polyethylene, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Paraffin, Barium Sulfate (CI 77120), Rosin/Colophonium/Colophane, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance/Parfum. MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR (+/-): Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Red 6 (CI 15850), Red 7 (CI 15850), Red 28 Lake (CI 45410), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140).

It's not the boldest red lipgloss that I have but this shade is simple and quite flirty! You'll see what I mean when you see the swatches later.

Here's the applicator. It holds enough product to cover both lips.

Anyway, here are the swatches:

on my hand

on the lips

It's just a fun lippie and it doubles as a balm... sort of... well, it just never dried my lips. And I also don't get lipstick bleeds with this on. And the best thing about this is the sweet fragrance of this product! It smells sooooooo delicious (but it doesn't have any taste so you don't eat it off the lips, haha!).

Have you tried any of NYX's Butter Glosses? What shade?

NYX Butter Gloss in Peach Cobbler

Hello dearies!

Here's another swatch post of one of the four butter glosses we received from our friend last Christmas. :D

NYX Butter Gloss

I've already posted the darkest shade among the bunch (Devil's Food Cake) a week ago. So now I'll share the swatches of the lightest!

The shade is Peach Cobbler.

Below are pictures of the labels on the product:

Product info from the website:

Buttery soft and silky smooth, our decadent Butter Gloss is now available in 12 more sumptuous shades! Each glossy color delivers sheer to medium coverage that melts onto your lips and is never sticky, leaving your lips soft, supple and kissable.

Ingredients:
Mineral Oil/Paraffinum Liquidum/Huile Minérale, Polybutene, Diisostearyl Malate, Beeswax/Cera Alba/Cire d’Abeille, Silica Dimethyl Silylate [NANO], Microcrystalline Wax/Cera Microcristallina/Cire Microcristalline, Polyethylene, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Paraffin, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance/Parfum.

Judging by the packaging, I was scared that the color would be like a bold orange. But I was sooooo relieved when I finally opened it because it's not the color I expected. Phew!

The color I was worried about became something I love! Just look at the swatches below, the shade is peachy pink! :D

On hand

on the lips

Excuse the brows. Haha! I realized I haven't blended it and used my browcara yet.

Anyway, I am LOVING this shade. I thought this color wasn't for me based on the strong orange color of the packaging... but it actually became a favorite among the bunch!

What do you think of the NYX Butter Gloss in Peach Cobbler?

NYX Butter Gloss in Devil's Food Cake

Hey dears!

My friend Rica sent us four shades of NYX's Butter Glosses. Liz and I shared and got two shades each. One of the Butter Gloss shades I received is this...

NYX Butter Gloss in Devil's Food Cake

Devil's Food Cake is just one shade from the 34 available shades of butter glosses from NYX.

It's my first butter gloss so just so we are clear, here's the info about the product from the labels...

So yeah... the labels are barely readable. I wish the designers of the product's packaging considered this. Oh well... So I'll just paste some info from the website instead:

Buttery soft and silky smooth, our decadent Butter Gloss is now available in 12 more sumptuous shades! Each glossy color delivers sheer to medium coverage that melts onto your lips and is never sticky, leaving your lips soft, supple and kissable.

For most recent ingredient list, please refer to packaging.

 

All shades contain the following unless otherwise noted:

Mineral Oil/Paraffinum Liquidum/Huile Minérale, Polybutene, Diisostearyl Malate, Beeswax/Cera Alba/Cire d’Abeille, Silica Dimethyl Silylate [NANO], Microcrystalline Wax/Cera Microcristallina/Cire Microcristalline, Polyethylene, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Paraffin, Barium Sulfate (CI 77120), Rosin/Colophonium/Colophane, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance/Parfum. MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR (+/-): Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Red 6 (CI 15850), Red 7 (CI 15850), Red 28 Lake (CI 45410), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140).

I've been fond of wearing dark lippie shades lately so I really had to convince Liz to let me have this shade. Haha! And I'm glad that she let me have it. :P

The shade is dark but still very wearable. Check out the swatches below.

It made my lips look plumper and the gloss made my lips look healthier and... well, hydrated! The formula is not greasy nor sticky so I really like it. The pigmentation of the dark mulberry shade is pretty good and the smell is sooooo awesome. It really smells like pastry! Yum (it doesn't taste like that though... it's flavorless)! 

This is currently one of the lippies I often use nowadays while the whether is still cool here in the Philippines. 

So what do you think of the NYX Butter Gloss in Devil's Food Cake?
