NYX lipstick & lipgloss swatches
This is the longest I have ever gone without posting in my blog! I have been so busy lately, and I have really missed blogging and reading everyone else's blogs!
I thought I'd do swatches of the NYX stuff I ordered from Cherry Culture when they were having their Black Friday sale, along with the few that I already had. It is a real PITA to try and decide what colors to order, since the Cherry Culture swatches are so incorrect and useless. While I was searching for swatches I found this blog. It's really great, and there are lots of swatches of different NYX products. Go follow!
I have 3 of the Round Lipsticks in the colors Georgia (618), Watermelon (616), and Tea Rose (628). I think I used to have a couple others that I either threw away or gave to friends because the colors didn't work for me.
Kitty likes lipstick :3
From left to right: Georgia, Watermelon, Tea Rose
Georgia and Watermelon are frosty, and I feel like they're harder for me to pull off. I fell in love with Tea Rose though, it is almost an exact match to my natural lip color.
I got one Diamond Sparkle lipgloss in Rose Sparkle (01). It is kind of metallic and I don't think I could ever wear it out without using a lip scrub first.
All of the NYX Girls Round Lip Glosses I have are very pretty, but they have this artificial lemon smell that I don't like. It reminds me of pledge. From left to right is Strawberry (11), Sparkle (05), Kiss (20), and Ballerina Pink (36).
I hope these swatches were helpful, and I'm looking forward to blogging regularly again :) How were your holidays? What did you give/get for Christmas? I got a dolphin Pillow Pet, some Bruce Willis movies (love him), 2 Wiimotes for our old broken Wii I'm taking with me to Texas (the disk reader doesn't work, but my brother just downloads games and puts them on a hard drive ;P) Hello Kitty oven mitts, and these Nikes that I asked for.
I even got a cute scarf from my manager, so it was a really nice Christmas! Did anyone get any cool makeup? Are you hauling from the new MAC collections? I haven't been here in a while, I must catch up on everything!!

Woo! Keep an eye out - I'm doing a massive NYX swatch update when my daughter gets back from her holidays and can loan me her arms for swatching. :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't have Georgia or Watermelon, but they both look really pretty. Frosts can be a pain to work with, though.
Have you tried the Mega Shine lip glosses? They are pretty much my favourite of all lip glosses, not that I wear gloss all that often.
I wish the NYX lipglosses didn't have such a bad smell; they're so nice and cheap otherwise!
ReplyDeleteI love Tea Rose! It's a little pink for my lips, but I think it's such a gorgeous color! :)
ReplyDeleteTea Rose lipstick looks really neat! I definitley have to check it out next time I am at my local beauty supply store that carries NYX products. And I aggree with you about the smell of the Round lipglosses. I remember I purchased on a few years ago and I never purchased any of those again! They truly do have a sickening dishwash-like smell to them. But I like the other NYX glosses. The smell on those don't bother me.
ReplyDeleteI love the glosses and i like the kitty too ... :)
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches! Love those shoes you picked out. I got a MAC gift card upon request from the hubby, so I hauled Christmas night! I couldn't wait for Cham-pale, and there wasn't much I wanted from that collex anyway, so I just got a bunch of permanent line eyeshadows and a blush. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good holiday! Missed ya around here!
Aww I like the first pic, so cute :D
ReplyDeleteYour swatches are great! I must say I'm not a fan of the round lipglosses either. The smell is such a turn off!
Great swatches! Tea Rose looks like an awesome color! The lip glosses look great too! That sucks they smell funky :( Glad you are back!
ReplyDeleteHmm...now I'll have to go home and smell my NYX glosses! I love the ones with the black caps with bows--those smell like cherry--kinda juvinile,but I like it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a nice Christmas! If where you are going to live has wifi--def get Netflicks so you can watch movies and tv shows! That's what we use our Wii for mostly!! Awesome!!
I got some cool things for Christmas, but I won't tell you here! I'm gonna do a post/video! =D
Have a Happy New Year!
Tea Rose is pretty, but I like Georgia a little better. It looks like that's the frost-color version of Tea Rose...?
ReplyDeleteAnd the kitty is adorable!!
Very pretty swatches :)
ReplyDeleteI want I want I want!! I cant get NYX stuff in the UK and ordering online can be a bit of a nightmare if you havent been able to call into a shop to swatch the goodies first :(
ReplyDeleteLove the Sparkle and Kiss glosses and the Tea Rose lipstick looks awesome. Though not quite as awesome as your cat :)
Your kitty reminds me of mine which I had a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteLovely pick of colors :)
Ooooh I have Tea Rose and LOVE it! =D
ReplyDeleteI have Tea Rose and LOVE it =D
ReplyDelete@Dee: I haven't tried any of them, but if they're that good I'll get a few next time I place a Cherry Culture order!
ReplyDelete@Alina: Oh my gosh, that is EXACTLY what they smell like! Dishwashing detergent.
@Nicole: I do Netflix on my Wii too, I am going to switch to their new package that just has the streaming because I use that so much more than the DVD's.
Watermelon lipstick looks great and oh, whats that little kitty doing right there? lol,
ReplyDeleteI guess she also want to wear lipstick.
Argh these are all so pretty, I want all of them now D: Also, OMG KITTEH ^_____________^
ReplyDeleteChristmas has been pretty awesome! I enjoyed those swatches a lot!! I hope to be more active on blogspot as well too :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the swatches! And thanks even more for describing that gnarly gloss scent - it had been driving me nuts, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Totally "artificial lemon." Now I can wear those glosses without constantly thinking, "....God, what IS it?!" :)
