NYX Cosmetics Haul

I know that NYX is a very well-respected cosmetics brand, but as I live in a small town, there is absolutely nowhere around me that has a NYX concession stand, so I haven’t really tried many of their products. However, when I recently ventured to Leeds, their Boots store has a huge concession stand full of every NYX product available, and so I picked up a few things that caught my eye…

First up I chose the NYX Pore Filler (£11), as I was wanting a new primer, and this one sounded perfect for me. My skin has quite a lot of imperfections and large pores, and this helps to reduce the appearance of pores and has been formulated with Vitamin E to smooth and enhance the skin. It makes my skin feel super soft and smooth and my foundation sits on top of it perfectly.

I then picked out the NYX Lid Lingerie Matte Eye Tint (£6) in the shade 16, a warm nude, as my friend Jennie who I was with at the time said these are the only things that help to keep her eye makeup on point. There are 12 matte shades available, but they do also have a metallic version and each one has a soft doe-foot shaped sponge applicator for easy application.

Pastel colours are my favourites and so when I spotted the NYX Faux Whites Inner Eye Brighteners (£5.50) I picked up Baby Powder, a baby blue and Seashell, a baby pink. These are white liners with an exquisite hint of colour, and they glide on velvety-soft without pulling at the delicate eye area. I simply pop these in the corner of my eyes to make them pop and to brighten up the area. I definitely want to get some of the other shades as they are so pretty.

As a huge glitter fan, I noticed the cute NYX Metallic Glitter Pots (£6 each) and chose 02, a pretty mid-blue, 05, a white based iridescent, and 06 a black glitter with a multi-coloured holographic finish. The pots have twist off lids and little holes in the top so that you can sprinkle rather than pour the glitter out. These fabulous glitters can be used on both the face and body, and 05 looks great in the inner corners of the eyes!

When you spend £30 on NYX, Boots were doing a promotion where you got a free gift, which was the NYX Love Contours All Eye & Face Sculpting Palette (RRP £20). This palette has a large mirror on the inside of the lid, making it perfect for travelling, and inside you will find two matte bronzers, two highlighter shades, nine matte and shimmery eyeshadows, and two brow powders. I adore the gold-toned highlighter and this is going to make a tan look even more amazing this Summer.

All the Loves,
