Nyx lingerie first impressions & swatches

This year has seen the rise of the matte liquid lipsticks and I have to say I am a true fan. I love a good matte lip whether that be in the form of a lipstick or a gloss! I love the durability and the finish. Therefore when Nyx launched their range of matte lip glosses I knew I had to get one ( or three). I was able to grab three while I was in Thailand, you are able to purchase the lingerie liquid lipsticks at boots in the UK for £6. The three shades I managed to buy were Push up, Lace detail and Satin ribbon. This blog will be describing the packaging, application, durability, and finish.

Firstly I think the packing is great, it's sleek and strong so you can chuck this item in your makeup bag without the worry that it's going to smash. I like the fact that you can see the shade of each gloss without having to open it. The writing on the packaging is classy and simple. The wand is a doe foot applicator I find it stern and not flimsy which is good however I would have preferred a tapered lip wand  as it is easier to get into the edges of the mouth.

The Nyx lingerie glosses have a mousse consistency, which makes it more hydrating compared to other formulas and glides on. The finish is matte and it sets matte within a couple of seconds. I do however find that you need more than one coat, the first application applies a little opaque. The formula is a little bit sticky, but that's not too much of a problem unless you keep putting your lips together.

I did find that these liquid lipsticks did last for a while, although there are others on the market that last longer I was, however, able to do my errands for the day without having to keep topping up my lipstick. It took several wet wipes and scrubbing to remove the liquid lipstick swatches.

Overall I really like this range from Nyx, I think for £6 you really can not go wrong. I am planning on purchasing more from the collection.

from left to right ( Satin ribbon, Push-up, Lace Detail) 

Satin Ribbon

I would describe this shade as a nude pink colour, it is similar to Lace detail except I find Lace detail to be darker and a slight beige shade.

Push-Up 

This is my favourite shade from the collection so far, I would describe it as a mauve pink shade.

Lace detail

This is a nudish pink/brown colour, it's great for an everyday look or if you do an extreme smokey eye to make the look for subtle you can pop this on the lips.

Morphe 35T makeup palette review and swatches

The Morphe 35T eyeshadow palette has been shown all over youtube and I finally decided to purchase it. The Taupe palette consists of 35 eyeshadows ranging from matte shades to many shimmery colours. The colours are highly pigmented and easy to blend, the variety of neutral shades and gold shimmers allows for many looks to be created.

When using these eyeshadows I always apply a primer base before hand, my most go to primer has to be the Mac paint pot in soft ochre ( yes I know how predictable). By applying a primer it ensures a much smoother application and also improves the pigmentation of the eyeshadows. Below are a few swatches of my favourite shades, you can create so many looks with this palette. The eye shadows are powdery, which a downside of this is that it does leave fall out. However,  this is easily fixable by just completing your eye look prior to applying foundation.

I was able to find the palette on beauty bay which costs £19.50 the website offers free delivery over £15. I usually use beauty bay as they have a variety of products and their delivery is fast! I would definitely say this palette is value for money, however, I do wish that they named each eyeshadow.
