Nyx Soft matte lip cream in Havana

Purchased by me.

Now available in twelve more statement-making shades, our velvety smooth Soft Matte Lip Cream delivers a burst of creamy color and sets to a stunning matte finish. Surprisingly durable, lightweight and delightfully creamy, it’s no wonder this sweetly scented formula is a NYX fan favorite.

When I heard of the new colors for this collection I knew I had to have them. I found Havanah while on vacation and I am glad I picked it up then because when I visited my local Ulta it was sold out. I love the way it feels on the lips, its matte but I don't feel like my lips are going to crack or need moisture. I can't really tell its even there. Application wise was where the issue was. It was patchy and not as opaque as I hoped. It took a few layers to get it to look the way it does in the photo but you can still see my lip color peaking through. The applicator makes it hard to get a good line on the outside so yes you will most likely need to use some concealer to clean up those lines unlike what I did for this quick photo. While I am sad about it being patchy its pretty great on its own and feels amazing and dries quickly so I would recommend it but I would also recommend some kind of liner under it.

NYX wicked lippies my picks (Great for Halloween)

Yes these are from last year but they are amazing enough that I had to talk about them. I didn't get them until after it seemed everyone I followed online had them. In my area they sold out before I had even made my first to Ulta. So I figured now with Halloween fast approaching I would talk about these amazing lippies.

NYX Nail Polish Set - Love is in The Air

NYX Nail Polish Set - Love is in The Air

I received the following product in exchange for review. All thoughts are my own.

I received Love is in the air from Blue Scandal to review. As you guys can tell I love nail polish, its like an addiction so when they offered this set for review I was jumping for joy. I have played with the polishes in this set and I love it and now want all the NYX polish sets. I swatched these on swatch sticks to include in the review.

Do you know someone in your life obsessed with polish as much as me? If you said yes then that is why this is part of our Holiday Gift Guide.

Here is more information from their site about this set:

and Purple Velvet review.

Since discovering that we had an Ulta store now in my town I had been wanting to take a trip to the new Mecca of makeup. I was hoping that they would offer more affordable brands then that of Sephora our other Cosmetics store in town. So finally after wanting to go for weeks I had free time to go and was on that side of town. When I pulled up I took this picture. I know you might think thats lame but to me I was on a new and exciting journey.

When I walked in the building I loved the atmosphere, I was hit with a calming wave of warmth but coolness at the same time which was a wonderful reprieve from the cold outside. Everything is white including the shelves so I guess you could imagine me with the look of wonder and awe that those people get that wonder into the progressive commercials before they meet Flo (or at least in the old ones). Its like walking into beauty heaven, I just wanted to look at anything and everything (which I did isle by isle.)

Warning picture heavy
