Nyx Roundlippies Review

Hi pretties! huhu I've been a bad blogger, haven't login to my page over the weekend thus the lack of posts. Anyway as I have mentioned in my previous post here is my say on my Nyx Round lipsticks: Tea Rose and Circe. I have seen a number of bloggers that own the Tea Rose and I thought they really look pretty on it so I ordered it hehe. It is a pink shade that is not that loud, IMO you can wear it everyday especially when you are on a date, that you want to look sweet or pa-tweetums hehe. I am glad I have it because the hubby said it is nice and it looks pretty on me. :) Here's a swatch of it.

Tea Rose

 

 Now ladies be ready to be scared, here's me sporting my current fav pink lipstick: Nyx rd lipstick Tea Rose:

 

 

See it's not a pink loud color on me, doesn't look nude or natural either just the right shade of pink. In this FOTD I used the Ellana concealer that I got as a free sample and the Ellana Foundation as well, I love them because they made my skin looks flawless in this picture without whitish cast on the camera's flash.I also used my In2it Blush in Denial just to give a natural look. 

Now the second Nyx Round lipstick that I got was Circe, a pretty nude shade. It's a bit lighter than other nude lippies that I swatched before but that is on my skin I think. So here's the swatch of it:

Circe

 

I have to swipe it like 3 times before it will create a visible color on my lips. I can say that this shade is truly a nude lipstick, hehe look at the color on me:

(Warning: Picture is really scary!)

Took this on a Natural lighting since I really look like a zombie with the flash on

Sorry for the eyebags!

 

I hoped the swatches and FOTDs helped you on seeing the shade of the lipsticks.  So here' s my review on the lippies:

Yehey! Factors:

 

• very affordable (160 pesos for each tube)
• creamy texture, so the application is a breeze
• love the staying power, I ate and drink that time and it stayed the whole afternoon, didn't bother to retouch since the Tea Rose still looks good after lunch. For Circe I retouched it after 4 hours
• didn't dry my lips
• For Tea Rose, 1 to 2 swipes will gave my lips the fab look already but for Circe it took 3 to 4 swipes, so I guess it depends on the shade you will use
• there is a shade indicator at the bottom of the tube so you'll know the color of it without opening or reading the label

Boo! Factors:

• my number 1 will be the scent, it's like a flowery scent that really annoyed me, but good thing it disappeared after a while like 15mins I don't smell it anymore maybe because I put Carmex before the lipstick
• IMO I don't like the packaging, the color is nice it's in black but I don't like that the label is on sticker. Well taste is subjective right? hehe
• not available locally, I have to order it online and have to rely on swatches online
• Very creamy that I think it will tend to melt if not stored poperly

Overall, I think the cons are not that major except the scent, hehe so I love the lippies. I recommend it to everyone it's worth a try if you still haven't.

I will end this post with my eBay haul, I received yesterday:

My revlon blush and blemish concealer

 

Super excited to use them. Will review them after a week of usage hehe, will do another FOTD as well so I hope you don't get annoyed of my face..hehe

Mahalo :)

My newly acquired lippies

Hi ladies! I hope everyone's enjoying their vacation and of course don't forget to pray, have more time with God. Well, sadly I am working in an American company so we don't have holiday. Zano (the hubby) is working in a BPO company so no holiday as well. :( I am just thinking about the double pay for these holiday on my next pay out. Normally during Lenten season we go home to Pampanga wherein there is a big 'Prusisyon'. I really love Prusisyon in the provinces specifically in our home town they are really different compared to cities. For Zano, during Good Friday, his family goes to Tagaytay to visit the 'Pink Sister's Monastery'. Last year we were lucky to go to both, Pampanga for the Prusisyon and Pink Sister's at Tagaytay, Tabachuchay was just 2 months old back then. Now I guess will be just staying at home then go to church in the evening. I am just blogging my sentiments for this Holy Week. Anyhow as you can see the title of my post is about lipsticks hehe so here it goes. Pretty Ladies I want you to meet my newly acquired babies:

Nyx Round lipsticks: Tea Rose (left) and Circe (right)

A new addition to my mini stash. Again forgive me for the blurry photos. :( Got them on Digital Traincase online store again. Before I just ordered Nyx lipglosses so last week I availed their famous round lipsticks. Will do a review together with a FOTD using these two this weekend hehe have to prepare myself for that. So that is the good news, on a not so good news, look at what Tabachuchay did on one of my favorite Natural shade lipstick:

 Avon Moisture Rich Sheer Liptick in Sheer Mauve

Poor lipstick. huhu! This is actually the second time, the first one was my Nivea Lip balm. Well lesson learned: When you are busy doing your make up, make sure that your kit is unreachable for kids like Tabachuchay. After what happened, Zano and I bought her, her own lipstick:

Tabachuchay starting her love for lipstick! hehe
 

It is actually a whole set of Kikay kit toys, it will be her starter kit hehe! So there you go, watch out for my review for the Nyx round lipsticks.

Have a blessed holy week pretty ladies!

Mahalo! :)
