NEW NYX Haul & Reviews

Remember yesterday's post where I compared MAC Strobe Cream to one by NYX? So many of y'all are a fan of NYX like I am! Well, today I've got even more NYX to share. Over the past couple of months, I've purchased some of the newest NYX and I've got reviews for you. They have been killing it lately with their latest releases. Check NYX online or ULTA to find these.

Let's see which of these I love and which you can skip (plus I made you a video where I go into MORE detail):

NYX Whipped Lip & Cheek Souffle--Apply this creamy product to lips or cheeks. This reminds me of a regular NYX cream, and the color didn't last long on cheeks. But I like it on my lips.

NYX Lingerie in 2 and 12--I love these liquid lipsticks. You've seen before in my liquid lipsticks post. I want to get more shades!

NYX Ombre Lip Duo--This double-ended lip crayon allows you to easily create the ombre lip effect. Be careful, as the crayons (see the video to see them up close) easily break with a heavy hand. I liked it but wouldn't repurchase.

NYX First Base Primer Spray--Apply this before makeup as an alternative to a traditional primer. I'll be doing a This or That soon with this!

NYX Soft Focus--I shared this in January, but essentially this primer is supposed to blur out pores and fine lines. If you tried the YSL one from Influenster, this is similar. It's creamy with that silicone slip that has a powdery feel when it settles. It didn't do anything for me, not matter how I tried it.

NYX Ombre Blush--Very pigmented and pretty--think NARS Orgasm but a little more shimmery coral than peach.

Here's the blush and the Soft Focus up close.

I went a little contour/highlight crazy. HUGE post next week coming with ALL of the c&h palettes from the drugstore, so stay tuned!

NYX Cream Highlight and Contour Palette in Light--This features a glowy highlight as well. I thought this was okay, but wouldn't repurchase. The contour was my favorite part, but it did look muddy anywhere other than my cheek bones.

NYX Sculpt Face Duo--This was in the lightest shade. I like the concept here of a liquid c&h, but this just faded to nothing once blended.

NYX Cheek Contour Duo Palette in Wine and Dine--I accidentally bought this shade, which is the darkest! I can't use it as intended, but I have used it as eyeshadow. So many of you loved my makeup on this post--this was what I used!! I would be interested in purchasing the light shade and trying out that one.

NYX Pro Foundation Mixer--This comes in 6 shades, including this luminous one, which I purchased on accident. The idea is to be able to mix to any foundation to adjust tone and shade. While I liked the luminous one (think instant glow to any liquid foundation), I wouldn't repurchase. I do want to try a tinted one.

NYX Hydra Touch Primer--Full of good-for-your-skin items (green tea! ginseng!) this goes on like a cream and fades to a gel. It didn't really do anything for my dry skin, but combo might like it in the winter.

NYX Gotcha Covered Concealer--I really liked this super thick concealer. It is waterproof and didn't crease on me, but be sure to set as it stays tacky the entire day. Think Tarte Maracuja Concealer but for MUCH less.

NYX Born to Glow--This Illuminator can be worn before makeup as a primer or on top of foundation for an extra glow. See the review here.

Here I am wearing the Hydra Touch, Soft Focus, the NYX Ombre Lip and Blush (I didn't apply it heavily at all, plus the light kinda zaps away the pigmentation),  and cream c&h.

Swatches? I got your swatches right here!

Better yet, a video for you! 

I love making videos because it allows you to see more of my personality, something that doesn't always come through in the posts:
