NYX lipstick swatches!

It took me forever and a half but as promised, here are the NYX lipstick swatches! :) all of these swatches are purely only the lipstick. I did not add any lipgloss since I wanted you all to see its true color just in case any of you may want to buy it :)

Electra:

The perfect red I have been looking for! its goes on so creamy and lasts long.

Femme:


bright peachy orange. (Femme is alot more brighter than this in person-I don't know why it doesn't show in the pictures)

louisiana:

vibrant pink

Pumpkin Pie:

a very suttle orangey-nude color. looks natural and its very wearable-one of my favorites!

Fig:

the perfect satin pink.

tea rose:

a lovely rosy pink.

B52:




snow white:

Another lovely red that is quite similar to Electra but has a slight difference.

Thalia:

A tad too dark for me.

Georgia:

This one is a bit too shimmery for my taste but it is still pretty.

Milan:


Peony:



Can't stress enough how much I love the lipsticks! I plan to make another purchase very soon! :)

NYX lippies haul!





NYX lippy haul! YAY! this is my very first NYX purchase and I must say, I'm VERY impressed with the lipsticks :) The lipsticks are very creamy, moisturizing, long lasting, and most importantly, pigmented and not at all drying-simply amazing!

So lets start off with the basics-I ordered these off of Cherry Culture. Cherryculture.com is a website that sells a variety of more lower end brands. I'm not too familiar with the site products because i've only ordered once from there, but I hear people talking about them and they all love it. It seems they always have some sort of sale going on and one happened to be going on when I made my purchase! :) so I got 12 lipsticks and 1 lipgloss. Each lipstick was $1.75 and they are originally $3.00 and they are actually still on sale so go check it out! The lipgloss was originally $3.00 and I got it for $2.00.

I've only used a couple lipsticks so far and have truly liked all of them so far. Normally, I don't wear lipstick besides the occasional amazing nude color Darling by Gosh. But lately, i've been finding myself picking up one of these lipsticks and applying it :)

The lipsticks have a floral scent when you smell the stick but once you apply it to your lips(which to me smells quite lovely!), it really has no smell.
As for the lipgloss, it is not at all sticky but I really don't like the smell. It has a ginger type smell to it, which I was never too fond of ginger in the first place.

anywho, here are all the lippies:


(L-R): Louisiana, Femme, Georgia, Fig, Electra, Snow White, Milan Pumpkin Pie, Peony, Tea Rose, B52, Thalia


Louisiana, Femme, Georgia, Fig


Electra, Snow White, Milan Pumpkin Pie


Peony, Tea Rose, B52, Thalia

If you haven't tried NYX's lipsticks then I strongly reccommend that you do because they're really great and so so cheap! I payed $24.35 for 13 lip products and thats including shipping and handling fees.

*sorry for no swatches, but I will put them up ASAP! and I will describe color and more details about the lippies once i've got them swatched.

SNOW day in TEXAS! ...and i'm back!

Hello lovlies! im back!! :) so sorry i've been gone for so so long! I can't believe its been that long since my last post! anyway, I'm back now and I have many upcoming posts so please stick around :)

first off, let me say that it SNOWED all day long yesterday! we got about a total of 8 inches of snow! isn't that AMAZING?! YES :) I loooved it so much. I felt like a little kid who had just seen snow for the first time haha. I kept running outside and playing in it. it was so lovely. it was GORGEOUS of course. and all schools closed of course, including both Universities for two whole days so I get a 4 day weekend :)I know its just snow, but here, when it does snow, its a very big deal. Its like an extra holiday to us :) It doesn't snow too often here in Texas. Actually, we're lucky if we even get one inch a year. It usually snows every few years. But for some reason this past year, it has snowed TWICE already!(: anywho, here are some pictures of the lovely day:




so cute!


in the morning, just a few hours of snow








the driveway


out in my backyard

I then woke up the next morning when it stopped snowing and looked out my bedroom window and saw this:







mmm love ittt.

ok, next post will be a mini collective haul post. check back soon :) thanks for reading&following!!
