Hey guys!
So I recently purchased two products from the makeup company NYX, I
have never purchased from them before but I thought I should give them a
try. I found out NYX through the videos of a youtuber named Adelaine
(or c0ok1emonster on you tube).
I bought "The curve" eyeliner and a soft lip matte cream shown below
"The curve" eyeliner
To
start I want to say that the eyeliner is not the cheapest of eyeliners
coming to £12 altogether. But so far through using it, I know that it is
definitely worth it. The shape of it is so convenient, even when I knew
my hand was shaking I could produce a fine line across my eyeline.
Although I found it easier to use in my dominant hand which is expected,
it was still usable on my non-dominant. The only downside of the shape
is the fact that it is difficult to stand alone but this is not an
important feature.
The
colour comes out a jet black, i've found before when buying eyeliners
that the black is not as rich and pigmented as I would of wanted so I
was very pleased when this eyeliner succeed with a deep black colour.
Overall i'm loving this product due to how easy it was to use.
Soft matte lip cream
The
other product I purchased was a "soft matte lip cream" in the colour
"monte carlo". On the bottle the colour certainly looks very impressive
and the photo doesn't quite show it to it's full glory. The bottle shows
a really deep red however when I first applied it the red wasn't really
the red shown on the bottle. I applied a second layer and the red
seemed slightly more deeper but still not quite the colour promised but
luckily I still really liked it. The brush made the lip cream quite
difficult to apply and seeing as i'm already quite bad at applying lip
products, it didnt really help.
I
tested how well it would stay on through drinking a cup of water and
most of it stayed on except the lip cream applied on the inside of the
lip which removed quite easily but I guess this is expected. Overall,
love the colour but the shape of brush was quite awkward to use.
Swatches
(feat chubby hand)
The red does look slightly more deeper in real life than on this photo.
