I was checking out my stats on my site the other day and noticed that one of the popular keywords that got people to get to my site is NYX. So I better start posting I got the following lippies and gloss 2 months ago from NonpareilBoutique.com and I forgot to post swatches. Here ya go:

Top: NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Frosted Beige and Iced Latte
Bottom: NYX Round Lipsticks in Milan, Doll and Saturn

Sorry but I forgot to take pix of Frosted Beige

NYX Round Lipstick
L to R: Milan *my fave*, Doll, Saturn

I haven’t been ordering any NYX Lippies since this one. I have WAYYY too many right now and I have just about enough of my favorite shades to keep me happy. Same goes for anything makeup related. I don’t even go to the cosmetic aisle whenever I go to CVS or Rite Aid unless I really need something. Otherwise I have my sister pull me away… lol. It was a nice experiment though. Right now, I’m focusing on my hair, as you can see on my previous posts. I’ll be trying out different methods on how to make my hair naturally curly, frizz free and looking great.

Thanks for reading!

I hope everyone’s enjoying their summer so far. It’s been too hot to be playing with makeup so I stay home and shop online… hehe. Today was pretty nice though, especially at home so I had the chance to take some pictures of the NYX Lipsticks I got a few weeks ago, along with NYX Nailpolish in Lingerie and Tulip (I’ll take pix of those the next time I get a mani/pedi). I got these from Nonpareil Boutique of course :) 

Top: Thalia, Mars, Circe, Frosted Beige
Middle: Perfect, Darling, Heather, Aphrodite
Bottom: Sierra

L to R: Thalia, Mars, Circe, Frosted Beige

My personal favorite out of the bunch is Heather, Mars, Perfect and Thalia. Circe looked too washed out on me, as if I was wearing a concealer. Sierra and Aphrodite didn’t compliment my skintone at all. I find that Frosted Beige and Darling too frosty for my taste, but I’ll definitely wear it over something that’s matte for added shimmer. I’ll take some pix with these lippies on as soon as my lips are not so chapped. I haven’t been wearing my chapstick lately… so spank me!

Btw, It’s my Mom’s birthday today, so my sis and I will be taking her to CCO out in Long Island tomorrow for some fun time shopping

I know it’s a bit late to announce but I was away and didn’t know about this until today. I go through my blogroll and read about your Cherry Culture hauls and the NYX Round Lippies you bought from them. I thought you might wanna know, I was reading Katrina’s blog and she mentioned that Cherry Culture had raised the prices on their NYX Round Lipstick from $0.99 to $2.00!!! Not sure why they would raise their prices, maybe to cover the cost of gas during shipment to their warehouse or maybe make more profit, who knows. I never liked ordering from them anyway, they take too long to ship and now they raised the prices on their Round Lippies…. two thumbs down!!!!

In case you guys didn’t know, there’s another e-store where you can buy NYX stuff @ Nonpareil Boutique. I placed an order twice from them so far and they shipped it the same day I ordered. And they have GREAT customer service. Once I had emailed them about a particular lipstick I was looking for and they responded within 48 hours. How cool is that? They’re very good people, so I highly recommend them. I can’t stress that enough.

So yeah… they’re having a sale that ends July 8th (again, sorry for the late announcement) Everything on their store is 20% off and use the code July4th during checkout. Go to Nonpareil Boutique you won’t be disappointed.

Update: I’m about to place an order when I noticed that some of the popular shades are out of stock… LOL

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?
