In case you didn’t know, there’s another site where you can purchase NYX Lipsticks for $0.99. It’s called Nonpareil Boutique. I had this site bookmarked for a while with the intention of buying the Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil for $2.99 as oppose to $4.00 at the actual NYX site and I didn’t know about Cherry Culture at the time. I really wanted to try Thalia but it was out of stock at Cherry Culture, so I looked at Nonpareil Boutique and noticed their Round Lipsticks went from $2.99 to $0.99. And Thalia was in stock… YAY!!! I placed an order on Monday morning and they shipped it the same night and I received it in the mail today so I’m pretty excited about their shipping. I give them 2 thumbs up for that. I think I had to wait almost 2 weeks to get my Cherry Culture in the mail… BOOOOO!!! So yeah, Nonpareil Boutique is another alternative place to buy NYX stuff. The colors I got was Goddess, Indian Pink, Pandora and Frappucino. I thought I added Thalia to the cart but I didn’t *friggin’ idiot… GOSH* <– Napolian Dynamite 
L to R: Goddess, Pandora, Indian Pink, Frappucino
L to R: Goddess, Pandora, Indian Pink, Frappucino
Goddess
Pandora
Indian Pink
Frappucino
The color I like the most is Pandora, which I think suits me real nice as a red/fuschia lipstick. I’m not too crazy about the other three. Goddess is a coral with shimmer, Indian Pink is pinkish/coral with a hint of gold shimmer, and I wanna like Frappucino but I don’t… lol… I think it’s similar to B52, but Frappucino is more peachy nude and B52 is pinkish nude… whadya think?
B52
I find that the color selections are WAY off on either sites. And don’t get me wrong, these shades are GAWGEOUS, just depends on who’s wearing them. I love, love, LOVE NYX Lipsticks, they’re creamy in texture and goes on very smooth. And they have a big selection in colors too so I will definitely order some more just to play around with. With Thalia being on my wishlist, what colors do you think I should get, especially one that compliments my skintone?

If you like Pandora… I think you’ll LOVE Plum. It’s not a round label lipstick though, it’s a Black Label one… but the color is gorgeous.

lol.. I thought about getting Plum too after checking out your blog. Are there any difference as far as texture-wise and staying power?

OMG! All the l/s look GORGEOUS on you! I want to make swatches of my NYX l/s collection, but since I ordered way too many, I don’t want to open them and let them go bad. I will do them slowly though…:D

Thanks Tao… I understand. Yeah, do a few at a time… LOL. Because of you I was psyched to order the Round l/s in Mars today. I hope it’ll look gorgeous on me as it is on you. Thanks again.

Thanks for the heads up! Actually their swatches are the most accurate that I’ve seen on any sight that sells NYX.
