So Nyx have only recently been easy to get hold of in the UK.. Boots ASOS and Feel Unique now sell it online which is great. Also Selfridges have a small stand in the beauty department, but it is always ridiculously busy and they always run out of the good stuff. I was so desperate to try some of the soft matte lip creams and they really didn't disappoint. I have the shades London, Abu Dhabi and Transylvania. London and Abu Dhabi are very similar, they are both browny nudes but London is just slightly lighter. I think they are such chic, gorgeous shades that you can wear everyday. They are really comfortable on the lips and aren't too drying. Transylvania is a bit more difficult to wear but I really love wearing a dark lip, this works really well with a dark lip liner underneath however without a lip liner it is a bit patchy.
The butter gloss in Madeline is definitely a must have! It is such a lovely neutral shade that goes with everything and it almost makes you lips look a bit plumper. The butter gloss is £5 and the matte lip creams are £5.50.. so you really can't go wrong.
Sometimes I really struggle to find a nice but affordable bronzer. They either go on patchy or they're too orange. However this Nyx one is the perfect natural bronzing colour which is great for during the day or even for a night out. Usually I don't wear loads of bronzer as i'm pretty pale and I don't like the overly bronzed look on me, so this just works perfectly for me.
Lastly, I really wanted to try some finishing powder. I have watched endless tutorials on how to apply this and to get the airbrushed finished look, and this was only £8, so if it goes wrong it's not the end of the world. I'm still learning how to use this product properly, however I applied it with a wet beauty blender and patted it on after my foundation and concealer and waited for it to set for a couple of minutes, and then I took my real techniques powder brush and brushed away any excess, and it did leave my skin looking very pore less and airbrushed. Although, the only thing is that it made my skin feel a bit tight and dry. I'm definitely up for experimenting with this though!
Overall I am really impressed with everything i've tried from Nyx and i'm definitely eager to try some more things.. definitely the contour kit and the eyebrow products. In fact I kind of want every single colour in the matte lip cream..
