ITS THE NYX THING

HEY HEY HEY :) Merry Christmas to everyone!!! so before I help out on cooking meals for celebrations I  stumbled upon my NYX stuffs so I might as well share it here. NYX is usually called the "cheap and chick" alternative to M.A.C. Cosmetics because it has almost the same shades/items as M.A.C. but is more affordable!  NYX offer a full range of cosmetics...everything from lipsticks to glitter palettes and in an amazing array of colors. Prices can't be beat either as they cost about the same, or less in some cases, than drugstore or department store makeups.

 So here are some of my NYX shiznits :) the next pictures will be more close up. 

So here is a larger view on the item. 

* You'll see on the center is the NYX make up artist kit which has 36 pigmented shadows plus blushers and lipgloss. at the right and left side you'll see the colorful shadow palettes and glitter palettes. 

i got a package full of NYX lipsticks so i add them up to my collection.

 I wasn't able to grab all the NYX lipstick shades but here i have a couple of shades to show. 

Here are some NYX lipstick swatches 

From L-R : Louisiana, Rose Bud, Georgia, Tea Rose, Fig, Thalia, B52, Apollo, Hebe, Chaos & Violet Ray.

 My favs are : strawberry milk, Tea rose, Louisiana, Fig and Indian pink.  

 STRAWBERRY MILK

TEA ROSE

LOUISIANA

FIG

INDIAN PINK

NYX can be bought from the USA or in some Bazaars here in the Phil.

I still have so much things to talk about NYX, ill give more reviews and swatches about this brand soon :)

OUR CREATION OF HOME MADE LIP BALM

INGREDIENTS:

1. Petroleum Jelly
2. Honey
3. Corn starch
4. mineral make up
5. Peppermint oil ( to add the minty flavor)
6. Lip balm container ( Make sure it is sterilized)

Hmm. Can't wait for our lip balm to set! First step, take a spoonful of petroleum jelly.

Next, mix it with 1 teaspoon of honey.

Mix it well until the color turns solid.

Then make your way in putting the secret ingredient that will give your lip balm a thick texture, corn starch! put as many as you want, depending on the outcome you wanted to have.

To add the coloring, you may use fruit coloring ; but we prefer to use mineral eyeshadows.

For our lip bal, we chose the colors brown and magenta.

Place it in the container, then freeze it for a while to add moisture to the ingredient.

Mon , Myka and Mon's super epal thumb!

Feedback: The lip balm tasted sweet with a little cooling effect due to the peppermint oil. Our lips felt really soft even after an hour , personally, the home made lip balm is even better compared to some commercial lip balms. Some of the lip balms you might have at home might be harmful to your lips, these are:

• Menthol, camphor, and phenol: All three of these ingredients give your lips a deceptive soothing, cooling sensation — but they also dry them out, creating a vicious cycle where you apply your lip balm to get relief . . . from your lip balm.
• Silicone oil: This additive is put in balms, glosses, and lipsticks to make them last longer and keep pigment from rubbing off your lips. It also, however, locks out moisture.
• Fragrance: Some fragrance groups, especially when combined with ingredients like alcohol, can suck the moisture right off your lips.
• Salicylic acid: This is a great acne-fighting ingredient, and it definitely exfoliates well, but in lip glosses and balms it can dry your lips and make them peel — not a pretty combo.

FEATURING : TOO FACED - ENCHANTED GLAMOURLAND

Eversince I saw this on too faced, I’ve been dying to get one for myself. This set is part of Too faced’s Holiday 2010 line up which consist of fairies and everything magical! I love this sets highly pigmented eye shadows. They are really great and just one swipe would give you vivid colors on your lids. These shadows are really made to last for the whole day with a matte or shimmery finish to choose from.  

GO GAGA OVER BENEFIT COSMETICS

HEY HEY HEY! today ill be sharing to you guys my very own Benefit cosmetics collection. well this brand is prolly one of my Favs. :) ill be featuring a couple of my favorite items. hope you'll like them.

 

So here's a tray of my Benefit collection. im sorry if its not properly organized. 

MY LIST OF AMAZING BLUSHES

Most girls doesn't know the power of a blush to liven up their faces. But once you found out the Tips and Tricks, it’s all gonna be easy! Here’s my list of  amazing blushes for you to play around with!

 

 

 

1. NARS Blush in Orgasm

Ive tried many blushes, but none of them looked as great as NARS Blush in Orgasm. It has an amazing shimmer and a peachy tone on it that flatters all skin shades, so it does not matter if you're pale white or tan, it will still look good on you. it looks pinkish on the container but when you put on your cheeks its gives you a warm and natural glow. This is absolutely one of the best blush i have ever had.

 

2.  BENEFIT Blush in Coralista

Ive been a fan of benefit for several years now, but i never liked their blushes because it was to pale or to tan for me. But when CORALISTA was launch my mom just gave it as a pasalubong but when i tried it.... i fell in love with it. It is best for pale skin that needs a healthy glow and pink/peachy tone to color.  It smells great and last for the whole day. definitely a must have.
