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 :)
