NYX has arrived in Boots
13:26:00
I know that NYX has been available on the Boots website for a while now, but I finally managed to pop into one of the stores that has a NYX counter. The Bond Street Boots is one of the stores, out of the 120 that hope to have NYX featuring in there store. The Bond Street store has got a huge variety of NYX products and great staff to help. I went in for just a browse and of course ended up buying a few products.
I managed to pick up two soft matte lip cream's in the shades Prague and Cannes. There is such a huge colour range with all NYX products but I am so glad I picked up two of these. They're soft and extremely pigmented and last pretty well! So far I have only worn the shade Cannes, as this is a wearable nudey/pink. I am yet to try out the darker raspberry shade in Prague but so far with Cannes, these are well worth the money! I also picked up the liquid suede lipstick in the shade Soft-Spoken I was tossing up between this and the lingerie lip products but I quite liked the texture of this liquid suede lip product and when I swatched this colour I had to get it! I don't usually like glossy finishes, but this is the perfect mix between a lip gloss and a matte liquid lipstick. It's extremely pigmented which I love and great for summer where you may want something a little more hydrating on your lips.
I have always been a big fan of the NYX blushes, I know how pigmented and good quality they are so I had to have a look at the collection. I spotted this blush in the shade Glow which is a nice mix of a blush and a highlighter giving the ultimate 'glow'. I love the colour of this, it's the perfect shade for a light makeup look and like all NYX products, it's crazily pigmented as you can see in the swatch photo below!
Finally I saw this Pro Foundation mixer, that claims to add warmth to any foundation that you may have. I struggle with matching my foundation so much and a lot of drugstore/high street foundations tend to have a limited amount of shades. So I thought it would be handy to have this product to customise my own foundations and get them to blend in perfectly. When I swatched this product I realised just how orange it is. However the formula is very thin and easy to blend and as they have a few different shades, I think it would help a lot of people who struggle to get the right shad. As you can see in the swatch below the colour is very pigmented and strong but when blended out it's super sheer which means with the right amount it could really work wonders! I can't wait to try this out with an actual foundation!
