NYX Cosmetics

Hey everyone!

I don’t know about you but during the Fall I become obsessed with pumpkin!  I love pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake (from Costco- YUM!), and most of all pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks!  Another Fall pumpkin obsession is my NYX Round lipstick in Pumpkin Pie!

NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick Pumpkin Pie $4

 Oh look! Hubs’ cute little pumpkin has decided to make another appearance on ABD! Hehe!

Okay, I have to confess that I’m actually not too fond of real edible pumpkin pie.  I’m actually not too fond of most pies in general. I’ll eat them for the most part but I never want much nor ever crave it.  But I do love my NYX Pumpkin Pie lipstick and have been wearing it a lot this season.  It’s a beautiful neutral peachy-beige color, a great alternative to the usual pink-beige nude lipsticks that we all love so much.

NYX Pumpkin Pie Lipstick Swatch

I like to wear NYX Pumpkin Pie with brown eyeshadow looks and coral cheeks.  It’s an easy go-to lipstick for those neutral days.  I would say that it leans more towards a sheer-medium pigmentation but you can definitely build up the color with a few more swipes.  The texture is really creamy and hydrating at first but it does dry my lips out as the hours progress.  It’s good to keep some lip balm or gloss handy for touch-ups and extra hydration.  The lipstick itself lasts on my lips for probably a good 3 hours and is pretty much gone after I eat.  Oh and like all NYX lipsticks, the scent is sweet but light so I actually don’t mind it at all.  All in all I’m pretty happy with the NYX round lipstick line considering that it’s only $4 a pop.

Like all nude family lipsticks, you really need to try NYX Pumpkin Pie lipstick for yourself to judge if it’s a good match against your skin or not.  I hope the swatch helps you gauge the color a bit!

It’s fri-fri-fri-FRIDAY!! **insert Chia Pet song tune**
I’m so excited and ready for the weekend! I have some pork in the slow-cooker so that once we get back from working out we can have taco night!  I sure love taco nights…

But first things first! Let me share with you the lipstick that I have on today! It’s NYX Round Lipstick in Milan.  Milan lipstick is a dark pink-brown shade and like all other NYX round lipsticks it’s only 4 bucks!

NYX Round Lipstick in Milan $4

NYX Milan lipstick is super wearable for work, school, running errands, etc.  It’s a nice everyday color that’s not too dark nor too light.  The hint of brown is also fitting for the Fall.

Texture wise it’s very soft and creamy with a glossy finish. You can wear it alone without topping on any lipgloss.  It doesn’t last very long on my lips though.  If I eat or drink anything I definitely need to reapply.  Without eating and drinking it’ll probably go for a few hours.  It does end up drying out my lips if I don’t keep my lips hydrated with another layer or some extra gloss.

Oh that’s a good thing to note. If you like matte, long-wear lipsticks, you probably won’t like the NYX round lipstick line.  The formula is so creamy that it tends to move around your lips a lot.

The smell is very light and sweet. If you really sniff hard (like I did to describe the scent for you) you can smell the chemically-ness but if you’re a normal person just applying it on your lips the scent shouldn’t be very strong at all.

I forgot to curl/apply mascara today…
Why do I keep forgetting to do that? So weird!

For a $4 lipstick, I’m pretty happy with the NYX Round lipstick line.  I love the smooth hydrating texture when you first apply it.  Also, there are so many shades available- very wearable ones and also fun ones for special occasions.  For four bucks a pop why not try a handfull out?  I’ll be sure to one day show you the other ones that I have in my collection along with the NYX Black label lipsticks that I have. Hopefully sooner than later. :]

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

I randomly decided to use NYX Dusty Rose lipstick this morning and wow was I surprised by how much I loved it!  I’ve had Dusty Rose (from the NYX Black Label collection) for several months now and I’ve hardly ever used it.  It just sat forgotten in my little lipstick organizer until fate led my hand into grabbing this lacy black tube.  It’s such a smooth application, the color is what I consider very “grown up” and the smell reminds me of those hard candy necklaces from my childhood.
