A few weeks ago I got my BeautyJoint () order! I love
Beautyjoint, it is the perfect place to pick up your American drugstore makeup
that you can’t get in Australia! They stock NYX, E.L.F, Jordana, Milani, Lime
Crime and more, and these things can be really expensive to ship in.
Beautyjoint is super-duper affordable though, and I’d highly recommend using
them over eBay because it’s only like $8 to ship over here, and doesn’t take
long. I ordered a few things, but these lipsticks were the most exciting things
I was looking forward to. I’m an absolute lipstickaholic, so I was really
agonising over which colours of the infamous Round Lipsticks by NYX to choose.
The swatches on Beautyjoint aren’t really that good, and neither are the NYX’s
website ones, so I went in kind of blind but also on recommendation from my
favourite YouTubers. Eventually I settled on Haute Melon, Pure Nude and Eros.
The texture of these lipsticks are supremely creamy
and soft in application. They’re balmy and feel moisturising on the lips. In
application, the colour can be quite thin, however, and require some building
up. They colours can bleed or run due to warmth of the skin, so just be aware
of this! I’ve heard that the Black Label Lipsticks are one step up, but I’m
pleased overall with the price and value of the Round lippies. Very happy
indeed!
Haute
Melon: I didn’t really realise what kind of colour this was
when I purchased it! I’d compare it to MAC Morange; a vibrant, creamy, intense
orange-red. NYX describes it as a bright coral. It’s definitely one of the
tougher colours to wear, but would look brilliant with a simple bold black
liner look. Other than that, I can’t imagine I’ll reach for this much, to be
honest! Though I like the colour, there’s colours that suit me much more.
Pure
Nude: Genuinely love this colour on me, it is a gorgeous pale
pinky nude, which is actually paler than most people’s skin, I’m pretty sure. NYX
calls it a neutral baby pink, which is really accurate actually. It’s quite
milky on the skin, and the thinnest of them all. I’d almost say it was ‘greasy’,
but not in an offputting way. It just means you have to work to get the colour
even and smooth looking. I’d also mention that the colour highlights the
dryness on your lips! It might sound like I’ve got a lot of negatives, but
seriously, the colour, once on evenly, is so glamorous and pretty!
Eros: Ahhh,
the most beautiful, rich, bright red. It’s named after the Greek god of love,
perfectly fitting what NYX describes as a bright coral red. It’s so beautiful
on the lips, and isn’t too intense for my NW15 skin. It actually makes your
lips look poutier and fuller. Of the three, this one applies the most smoothly
and evenly. You may need to touch up throughout the day if you’re doing some
vigorous, but it stains your lips for hours are removal and stays pretty well
otherwise. I’d call this the perfect red at the moment, and all these lipsticks
are incredible value for money.
So, for $4.50 each, I’m happy with these lipsticks.
These are great if you just want a few ‘whatever’ lipsticks, and if you’re
happy to gamble on the colour, you could end up with a few real gems in your
lipstick collection. I’d never substitute my MACs or Lime Crime lippies for
these, but they’re certainly really fun to play with and can inject a really
intense colour surge into your makeup look. Thumbs up from me!
