FOTD 12/02/2011

A beautiful sunny day in Perth today so there was nothing better than going for some afternoon tea at one of my favourite café.  I seldom go because it is a bit of a drive from where I live but today I just had to go.  I was back in heaven tasting the delicious sweets they offer.

 Choux Café


93 Shenton Road

Swanbourne, Perth


The café is located in a very odd location, surrounded by houses so it’s relatively quiet but inside it was still busy, but since we went later it was had quiet down already. We had the whole back seating area to ourselves and it was so good to sit down with a glass of ice coffee and some sweets to quench our tastebuds.

NYX being a popular affordable makeup brand, but today I’m only here to share my thoughts and swatches of the round Lipstick and Lip Glosses that I own from this brand. I may not own all of them in the collection but I own enough and had used them enough to give my real honest opinions on them. My thoughts may not be the same as everyone else’s reviews since we all view products differently.

I’m sure a lot of you are already familiar with the brand anyway. My swatches are not done on my lips because I find that the pigmentation of your own natural lip can alter the true colours of the actual lip products. Therefore I am just swatching them all on my arm to show the actual colour. However keep in mind that it may not turn out to be the exact same colour when applied to your lips.

The round lipsticks are available at great prices and I have to say for the price they offer it at the lipsticks is definitely not bad at all. The creamy texture is great as it glides on your lips smoothly. Some of them don’t smell bad either so that’s also a plus for me. I just can’t stand lipsticks that have that super strong chemical smell to it. I get put off by the smell no matter how pretty the colour of the lipstick is. So I’m glad NYX don’t’ produce ones with those chemical scent to them.

However my down side to these lipsticks are that they’re not long lasting so they do tend to wear off a lot faster when you compare them to other drugstore brands like L’Oreal or Cover Girl. Then that only means I have to do touch ups a bit more often then I usually do and I think I can live with that if the price is good and the pigmentation of them are beautiful. Note that none are matte shade and all has that pearl/shimmer finish to it.

Now onto the swatches of the ones I own (Everything is bought with my own money, there was no sponsor or money paid for this review)

Anyway I'm just popping in to share some photos of my FOTD :)
 
I think it have being a while since I've posted an FOTD for you guys so I thought I would share it today since I like the way it turned out.  It's nothing special just a golden/brown combination with a very thin liner and nude lips.

Anyway now onto some photos of two recent EOTD that I wore out during the day.  One is rather neutral/brown and the other is blue and green.

I rarely walk out during the day with bright eyes so it's good that this year I'm beginning to try more colours to wear out.
