NYX Mosaic Powder

Thank god that it has been sunny for 2 days in a row, so I am more out of the blues...

I have tried most of the NYX stuff already, so I can talk though them one by one.

Actually, I already have a few highlighter at home and I don't need more. But since the colour is very interesting on this piece, I decided may as well put in this the order! ;-P

I haven't tried the colours individually. But when I mixed the colours with a brush, it forms a sheer white on my cheeks.

The effect is much more obvious in real live, sad that I cannot really capture its real essence. But still, I can tell that the skin with highlighter ( 'that stripe') is much brighter and lighter than the rest of my skin.

The only down fall for this is that, it may be too white for warmer or darker skin especially when I started to brush from the white area. Also, the powder isn't compressed enough, there's always powder loosen out.

Conclusion

It worth more than USD$6, so not bad for this small price tag. However, I don't think I would buy it again, as getting things aboard is not always my best option as I am kind of annoyed by the postage (for some compay) and the maximum price to go without inport tax (apparently it is £18, before custom charge for import tax, please correct me if I am wrong)

NYX Round Lipsticks

These are the 10 that arrived at my place yesterday. They are arranged in the code on the label. Apparently, the bottom colour is that colour of the lipsticks. But I don' think they are matched at all, especially for Gem and Indian Pink. The colour for Indian Pink is more an orange base rather than just pink that shown at the bottom. The bottom colour understimate the redness of Gem, as it is much redder.

Anyway, as I only kept 5 of them, here's the swatches for them.

These lipsticks are highly pigment, as it is very easy for me to capture the colours and it was very difficult for me to remove the colours from my arm afterwards @.@ ( i actually have to use makeup remover twice to remove them all totally)

I heard that some bloggers claimed that the lipsticks they bought have horrible smells, but I didn't find any smell in this case, so I assume it is a personal opinion or new/old version or QC problem?? I am not quite sure which....

Conclusion:

For USD$3 + postage, I don't think I will even border as there's always other alternative outside like Natural Collection, Collection 2000, etc. But for USD$1.4 + postage, I think they are really good value, as they are highly pigment and a huge range of colours available.

Cherry Culture

Finally...

I got time to take photos and edit and upload them...

Received the parcel from Cherry Culture yesterday, and it was quite a suprise for me as I only made the order around 10days ago, wasn't quite expect it will come this fast.

I was quite shock when I picked it up at the local delivery office as the label said 'Art supplies' and only USD$6... as I have no memory of getting any art equipment from the States @.@

Anyway, back to the products themselves.

I  bought 1 Jumbo Eyeshadow pencil, 2 Powder Eyeshadow and a Mosaic Powder as well as 10 lipsticks. Sadly, I only keep 5 of them as the others are for my friends. The colours are very nice to the fact that I almost want to keep them all... kakak...
