NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipsticks

    Hey guys!! It's Viv here and I just wanted to tell you about some lipsticks I have been absolutely LOVING lately. They are the NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipsticks, and oh my goodness, they are amazing!! They are absolutely the smoothest, most pigmented, and nourishing drugstore lipstick I have ever come across. I got them for $3.99 each at my local Ulta, where they are actually on offer for buy one get one 50% off right now!

At the moment, these are my four favourite shades (from left to right): 640 Fig, 628 Tea Rose, 558 Cocoa, 522 Circe.

And here is a swatch of these colours in natural light -- please excuse my dog in the bottom corner.

                                          Left to Right: Tea Rose, Cocoa, Circe, Fig

Tea Rose is well, the perfect colour of tea rose; a muted paler pink with a slight mauve undertone.  Cocoa is a deeper brown with a slight burgundy undertone. Circe is the perfect true nude for me (I have an olive skin and am slightly tan at the moment); it is light and has a more tan undertone rather than a pink or orange undertone. And Fig is a vibrant medium pink with a beautiful glossy sheen.

I honestly adore these lipsticks; they are such amazing value for the price. I feel as though I am using an extremely high quality lipstick; I  even prefer some of these lipsticks to my MAC lipsticks -- I find MAC lipsticks can be quite drying to my lips. The NYX lipsticks even have a delicious mango smell to them. The packaging is quite simple but classically beautiful, and I like how you can see the colour of the lipstick at the bottom of the tube. And NYX have sooo many colours to choose from; NYX seriously has a shade for everyone's skin tone. All in all, these are my product of the month and I hope every one of you tries one of these lipsticks! You can find out where NYX is sold in your local area at www.nyxcosmetics.com :)
