I. Nyx Round Lipsticks- velvety, creamy, moisturizing lipsticks
With Flash:
1. Electra- A vivid red good for geisha or classic 40′s theme.
2. Eucalyptus- A purplish fuschia which I ordered in lieu of Narcissus, which is said to be perfect for a Barbie lip. This one looks darker than pics of Narcissus.
3. Galaxy- a frosted brownish pink. A standout in metallic or futuristic shoots. Also a good match for smokey eyes.
4. Tea Rose- a natural pink you could wear for a no makeup look or to balance smokey eyes.
5. Thalia- sorry, no tube pic on this one because it has gotten blunt from my mom’s use (she really loves it!) but I managed to borrow from her for swatching up above. This is more rosey pink than Tea-rose.
6. Orange Soda- The color I’ve been hunting for ever since I saw Chechel Joson’s works on the Star Magic talents. This is a nude peachy orange color. Love it!
7. Iris- a shimmery and brownish version of Orange Soda
II. Nyx Lip Glosses with Mega Shine- Nyx signature lip gloss with creamy and shiny finish
Lollipop- peachy brown that I love blending with a pinkish lipstick. Could be applied alone, for a natural mood. My favorite gloss to date.
Barbie Pink- fuschia pink that could pull off a Barbie doll look. May be used to intensify lipstick color but could also stand alone.

My Nyx Lip Loot

Yesterday, before heading to the clinic, I picked up my mail from the post office. It was my anticipated order from Nonpareil Boutique, an online store that offers Nyx Cosmetics at sale prices.
For $0.99, how could I resist getting the lipsticks that are earning raves from beauty bloggers? I opened the envelope at work and giddily tested the Nyx Round lipsticks one by one while awaiting patients. I was amazed at how creamy the formulation is. I was dreading it might turn out too waxy like the other cheap lipsticks I had as gifts that only lacked the wick to pass for a candle. But they not too creamy, either for the color to bleed and be easily erased. So far, I am loving my collection and in fact, I plan to get more.
I showed them to my Mom when I got home and she was beaming with smile upon seeing the Thalia color. I gave it to her so the pic above is actually lacking one more lipstick and hence I will be ordering again.
I got 2 of their Nyx Megashine lipglosses selling for $3.98 each. I ordered Lollipop and Barbie Pink but for some reason, the mark in front of the 2 glosses were Goddess of the Night. They have a yummy scent that’s not too overwhelming. The lipsticks don’t have an annoying smell, as well.
