Dreamy NYX


I know I'm not alone in saying this...
When I saw the brand new, shiny NYX counter in Boots stores I generally thought Christmas had come early!
 Unfortunately I could only stare longingly at the counter because I'm currently saving.


What I do know is that there's no harm in doing a bit of 'window shopping' so that when I can finally splurge on NYX I know what to get. 

Lets all jump on the NYX bandwagon...

(For each product I've added the link the product on Boots website so you can check them out too)


£6.50


Okay, okay so I have a little confession to make... 
I actually brought this product in the shade Honeymoon because I'd heard such good reviews about it and I was too impatient to wait! 
This lipstick has jumped right to the top as my current favourite lipstick pile- the shade I brought, Honeymoon, is a gorgeous brown shade so perfect if your like me and want to totally rock the 90's vibe. I love the matte consistency of it and I know people keep saying this but it honestly really doesn't feel drying to wear. I also felt it lasted a long time too. 
I can't wait to go back and buy more (hopefully all) shades when I can afford to!


£5.50

I don't know why but when it comes to lipsticks I love bright bold colours particularly plum tones because I feel they really suit my skin tone. Although they do always make me feel a little autumnal but hey it's July tomorrow and I'm currently writing this sat near a radiator to keep warm whilst sheltering from the rain. 
I love butter lipsticks as I just feel they're really hydrating and moisturising, my lips are often dry so I try to look for product that will keep them hydrated whilst still being pigmented. 
Again I love them all but I think Moonlight Night is my favourite. 


£18


I have been looking for a highlighter and contour palette that I almost gave up hope of ever finding one, but whilst on a very long visit to the NYX counter I spotted this one. 
I love all the different highlight and contour shades, as I think you could really go into true makeup artist mode and apply different shades to different areas of you face.
I've been using highlighter for a while now but contouring does scare me a little so I think I'll have to check out tutorials online for how to apply it.



£7


Another product I've been on the hunt for has been a good setting spray and this one from NYX sounds great!
 Having read the reviews for both the dewy and matte one, I feel that the matte setting spray would be better for me because my face can be quite oily & I don't want to look super shiny- not a good look.
I tend to go on product reviews for most of my makeup and the reviews for this were quite good- I can't wait to buy one and try it.


£6.50 


There was a time not so long ago where I never wore eyeshadow- I don't really know why, I think I was just going through quite an insecure phase and applying makeup to make features stand out scared me a little. However after watching endless YouTube tutorials and making endless mistakes I finally feel confident enough to wear eyeshadow. 
I love the shades almond, bronze and chocolate because I feel these would make a really nice brown smokey eye effect, as you could apply the stick straight onto your lid then use a brush to blend.
Having blue eyes means that I love bronzed looks on my eyes because I feel it makes my eyes stand out. 


As you can see I love a LOT of NYX products, I'm hoping to purchase these products in the upcoming months and then I'll hopefully do a review post about them. 
I'd love to hear what NYX products you've been loving in the comments below?

This is a post that I've been wanting to do for a while now as I really enjoy writing & reading beauty posts, 
Would you like to see more beauty posts on here?

  1. Great picks - I love the NYX butter lipsticks but I'm still yet to try anything from the lip lingerie range. The formula sounds gorgeous so I definitely need to pick up a couple of shades! I'd definitely recommend the matte setting spray, makes my makeup last all day without drying my face out too much either - I love it! :)

    1. Hey Toni, Thank you so much for your comment. You should definitely try the lip lingerie range - they are so good! I'm going shopping later this week so I'll make sure I pick up one of the butter lipsticks and the matte setting spray- anything that helps my makeup last is great in my book. Hope you have a great day :-)
