HAUL: Nyx Round Lipsticks Nude Edition
Like if you love lipsticks
Tweet
My new Nyx round lipsticks arrived yesterday. Ever since I found this reasonable online reseller of Nyx, suffice it to say, I was fixated. Yes, I ordered two batches of Nyx lipsticks. As much as I'm not really impressed by them, I get so curious with their color promises and I am fascinated by how the lipsticks are named so uniquely; hence I buy. This time around, I only bought four (with the addition of two blush sticks). Last time, I bought eight which you can read about here.
Let me indulge you with swatches. Jump!
My four lipsticks are Orange Soda, Frappucino, Pumpkin Pie and Rea.
But you know me. I trust lip swatches more those swatches on arm so here goes, in order of my preference with my favorite shade as no.1 :)
1. Pumpkin Pie - I am so fond of this lip color. It looks so naturally sweet on the lips.
2. Frappucino - if you find yourself unable to fathom wearing a hardcore red lipstick shade, Frappucino is a nice option. It's a creamy reddish brown color that glides on the lips smoothly and blends with the natural red tint of your lips to a perfect natural coral red.
3. Orange Soda - since I saw Michelle Phan use this on one of her recent makeup videos I knew I wanted to give it a shot. I love peachy colors for almost anything, lips, blush, clothes, polish. However, this particular shade just can't be a top favorite because it's a bit challenging to work with. I think this is best used with a lip liner because it really defies the natural tint of the lips turning it bright and ultimately nude-peach. This of course leaves a good and bad impression. The good part is you get such a unique pigment. The bad part is, if you have dark lips or for my case, the outline of my lips are a bit dark, it may be a problem to blend the lip color seamlessly to your puckers.
4. Rea - nothing wrong with finding a great nude shade but this comes off a bit sad nude. I think, if you wear this alone, it would look gloomy on the face. This typer of nude should always be paired with great eyes. I liked Summer Love from this set more.
Ah, looking at those lipsticks make me want... lip gloss! :p Here's a collage I created to inspire myself to work harder this coming August. Man, was July amazing. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful Blog Birthday! If you haven't yet, please join my birthday giveaway.

You know how they say in fashion, "thou can never have enough jeans." I think in beauty, what people commonly can't have enough of are lippies (lipsticks, lip balms, lip conditioners, lip gloss, lip plumps, lip shine, etc) Do correct me if I'm wrong; but first, hope my lippie wishlist below convince you that I'm right.
PS. To those afraid of online shopping, just to give you an idea, buying from Digital Traincase has been quite convenient for me. I hope they improve their packaging though because the items arrived looking like this (photo below). fortunately, nothing happened to the products this time but last time, one of the lipsticks I got was broken so I was disappointed with that.
I don't know if it's something to be alarmed about too but the lipsticks were moist when they arrived. It was weird. Perhaps it's because of the heat the products were subjected to during transit? They're not moist anymore though, now that I keep them in normal room temperature.
How about you? Any online shopping experience you would like to share--good or bad experiences are welcome! Leave me your story in the comments. :)

Although Nyx cosmetics are not chemical-free (they are loaded with chemicals, shamefully speaking); they give me a bit of hope for they are cruelty-free at the very least. :) Here's how the lipsticks fare on my arm. If last time I got quite a collection of RED LIPSTICKS, this time around, I stuck with the nudes. With the gift of comparison, I think I'm in such state where I'm more fond of nudes.

I recently bought NYX lipsticks (Eros, Fire, and Snow White), too, from Digital Traincase. They did arrive kind of warm. Good thing I had them delivered in the office where it's air conditioned.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I haven't had any bad experience buying online and I hope it stays that way. It's a good idea to read the comments left by buyers and to do "research" (like reading blogs) on which online stores have good products, service, etc.
im sure you'd enjoy using snow white! it's such a sexy red color :D
Deletei love orange soda most!!
ReplyDeletehttp://delvanni.blogspot.com
orange soda is so unique to use, if you ask me. it takes will power esp if you have dark colored lips :D
DeleteI don't like nude nudes; they make me look washed out. I like Frapuccino; I have something like that in my lipstick collection. It gives my lips a wash of color while still looking quite au naturel. Thanks for this! I enjoy reading haul posts.
ReplyDeleteyes frappuccino is VERY lovely indeed :D glad you enjoyed reading!
Deletelove the frappucino . great post!
ReplyDeleteInteresting blog, I really enjoyed browsing it :)
Blog: Oh it's Juno
Glad you enjoyed reading :D and thank you for the kind words junah
DeleteFrappuccino is such a pretty colour! I think it's my favourite out of the four. I don't go for nudes ever cos it makes me look sickly :(
ReplyDeleteI love online shopping!
yes, nudes can be very tricky :D
DeleteVery much he appeals for me oneself your blog! He is interesting and has interesting entries! ;p
ReplyDeleteI wish the nice weekend.

DeleteMUST GET FRAPPACCINO
ReplyDeleteyou should!! it's such a hit!
DeleteLovely nude collection. I am loving Pumpkin Pie. :)
ReplyDeletefeminine-art.blogspot.com
pumpkin pie is so perfect for an every day lip color!
DeleteBeautiful colours, absolutely love it. Especially the first and second, x
ReplyDeletethank you! happy to know you enjoyed my top two also! D:
DeleteI have frappucino! :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I have shopped at Digital Traincase din before; but I ordered Charm Brushes. Hehe. I prefer buying NYX Round lippies pag bazaars. Super creamy kasi nila kaya pag nainitan, alam na. Minsan nga parang gusto kong i-de-pot sila para mas convenient. Tutal, most of the time, Lip Brush na rin ginagamit ko to use it.
i pre-ordered so it was cheaper to buy online. i wasnt really in a hurry to get my hands on nyx rls anyway since i know that they're not at all impressive. :D
DeleteWhat kind of chemicals are in these? I can see where you could have lots of lipsticks, they don't stay on so you have to keep reapplying... I have yet to find a lipstick I like.
ReplyDeletehave you tried lancome lipsticks? they are great but pricey :( i guess for drugstore, what i truly enjoyed is wet n wild (the ones in black case) :D
Deletechemicals like dimethicone and parabens, if i remember correctly
The one colour family I don't really have much of is nudes. I guess it's because I'm too big a fan of bright coloured/berry lips. I think frappucino looks good, though.
ReplyDeletewhat bright colored lippies would you recommend? :D
Deleteim not sure if i should be thankful cause clearly this is spam. but spam as it is, im sure it took a little effort from you so thanks for the visit. Respect next time please :)
ReplyDeleteThe ultimate bright lippie, for me, is MAC's Morange...which I don't have (mahal eh!) but my make-up artist friend had let me try it. It's <3
ReplyDeleteI quite like NYX Black Label in Citrine. It's got that look at me orange I love. I like the creamy texture too!
