NYX BUYS: Lip Cream

Delving into the world of NYX starting with my new matt lip creams, from left to right starting with Amsterdam, Ibiza and finally Abu Dhabi.

I like the fact each tube is named after a city, god knows why.

I must admit Abu Dhabi is the shade I wear the most as it goes with almost everything and then Ibiza would be my second favourite as it is not like any pink I already have. 

        They dry fairly quick and last a while but they do tend to feel like they're peeling a bit on the inner part of the lip which makes you re apply, even though the colour looks solid.

One thing that does bother me though is after a few uses they start to feel like they're empty, and you don't get much product on the applicator in the beginning, and they're around £6 each.

All in all I would buy other colours from the range because they do look pretty on and they fit easily into your day/evening bag.

KIKO Buys

The last time I walked past a KIKO store was in Spain and I vowed to actually buy something the next time I went in. Two years later I walked into the Reading store and walked out with these two lovely eyeshadows. 

The left is no 130 and is a gold glittery bronze which I can see my self wearing all summer, the right is no 31 and just a base I needed as my Sleek palette base is nearly out.

I highly recommend taking a visit to your local store as most of the range is super cheap and very, very pretty!

ROUGE EDITION

On Sunday I bought (a bit late) the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Ole Flamingo!

So I think you can guess that I love it considering I'm writing about it two days on...

It's liquid lipstick in simple, pretty packaging and it does not budge. As I've been taking photographs and composing this post I've eaten a sandwich, had a cup of tea and brushed my teeth, yeah there were the odd smudge onto the bread but not half as much as normal lipsticks (excluding the stay put ones). 

I chose this particular shade because to be quite honest I can't stop buying coral, pink and magenta things lately, it was a toss up between classic red or this... Oh I should mention that it's a matte finish so if you have dry/cracked lips you may want to give your lips a good moisturise before you go buying this. 

I will definitely be buying more of these, I've got my eye on another already!

I should also mention, my camera really hasn't done the colour justice, it's very very bright pink!
