So, I’ve been thoroughly,
hopelessly, ridiculously useless on my blog lately, and don’t even mention my
YouTube channel! The final few weeks of my first year at university are upon
me, and I’m stressed out and hugely disorganised! But, fear not! Today I’ve got
a blog post for you that will possibly spark up a new love affair and possibly
save you ££££…
So the entire Internet
has practically lost their marbles over the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits over the last
few months. They sold out within minutes and now they’re popping up on eBay for
ridiculous sums of money. I, on the other hand, decided to take my money
elsewhere. Especially since the whole scandal involving them not even posting
products that have been paid for, and their non-existent customer service, I’ve
been even more put off from spending my hard earned cash on the Lip Kits simply
because they’re the brain child of the latest faddy celebrity.
I turned my attention to
the NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks; a range of incredibly beautiful lipsticks
that NYX says are “a range
of colour-kissed nudes—from cinnamon pink and chocolate brown, to warm mahogany
red and classic nude beige—each sultry shade will coat the curves of your lips
with irresistibly creamy colour”. And
let me just put my two cents in; they really are ALL stunning, and I’ll hold my
hands up and admit that I’ve watched about a week’s worth of swatch videos of
the entire range on YouTube. I fell in love with about 4 or 5 shades, but
eventually settled on the stunning ‘Beauty Mark’, a dark, deep brown. I chose
this shade because I was craving Kylie Jenner’s True Brown, but wasn’t ready to
part with £45 for one off eBay. The two shades are unbelievably similar, and
have been compared across quite a few beauty blogs lately.
Onto the lipstick itself…
The packaging is sleek, practical and easy to slip into your handbag for touch
ups on the go. It has a doe-foot applicator; something I’m genuinely shitey at
but definitely something I’m learning to use properly. The lipstick applies
like a creamy lipgloss, and dries to (and let me really stress this!) THE
TRUEST MATTE IN ALL THE LAND. Seriously, it’s like velvet. The shade is
stunning as well, and not like any other shade I own, and absolutely suits my
pale skintone. The only thing I’d mention is the chalky consistency of this
liquid lippy. It’s become important for me to really deeply moisturise my lips
the night before I want to wear this lipstick, and the shade can get really dry
and crack on my lips. Not to worry, though, because a thick layer of Vaseline the
night before will do the job, and I don’t have to worry for the rest of the day
after.
Longevity-wise, the
lipstick is unbelievably hard-wearing. And by ‘unbelievably’, I mean that I had
to basically scrub my face off trying to take it off after trying it for the first
time. It’s made of some tough stuff; so don’t worry about it sliding around on
your lips at all. I’d just make a note of the fact that it may need some touch
ups throughout the day if you’re eating or drinking a lot!
Personally, this is my
absolute favourite beauty purchase of 2016 so far. It’s beyond beautiful, so
flattering, and sits incredibly well on my lips. I’m still eyeing up the other
shades, though. ‘Exotic’, ‘Bedtime Flirt’ and ‘Honeymoon’ are teasing me, and I’m
sure I’ll be adding to my NYX collection soon. It’s my 21st next
month! Hint hint ;)
Lots of love,
Jasmine x

I'm in love with the Liquid Sueds from NYX but still haven't managed to get my hands on these ones! My local bots doesn't seem to have them, they must be so popular. Beauty Mark looks amazing on you! I'll have to start watching the swatch videos too!!

“Women who wear lipsticks daily, retouch it more than 10 times a day, should be very careful. Some amount of those harmful metals does get absorbed over a period of time and leads to lead accumulation in the system. Even small amounts going in for a long period of time can be a cause for concern.
