Nyx Extreme Lip Cream Candy Land, a Review and Swatch.

Another product to review today, and it's out of my comfort area .. it's nyx extreme lip cream in Candy Land .. What? Candy Land! a land of candy?? Σ(゜д゜;)

Extreme lip cream is a mix between lipstick, lip gloss and lip stain. As we all know Nyx has made some good (or great) quality product, so why dont give this range a try? :)

the shade i bought myself was Antwerp, but i dont like the way it be on my lips.. And luckily a friend of mine, Natasya, has sent me Candyland to try ~ oh well, it's happens severals months ago. See what happened if you have to much item on your waiting list o(╥﹏╥)o

Back to review, Nyx Extreme Lip Cream comes in plastic tube packaging. The cap is black and the bottom part is clear. It helps you to see what's inside. Or in another case, how much does it's left.

XLC 02 - Candy Land

(LOL i've type it as Candyland on every picture i took. Oh well.)

The applicator is in doe-foot shape. I dont find it helpful and or disturbing.

So to the swatch.

SHADE

It's HARD to describe what shade is it.

I used to think it's pale pink to fuschia kind of shade..

but i'm not sure ..

some people simply said it's beautiful pink shade.. but no.

First, it's bright. If you looking for a soft pink, it's definately not for you.

It has a white/blue undertone.

It's not matte.

It's quite pale but bright.

Like screaming that "I'm pink! look at me!"

(err .. just my i-ma-gi-na-ti-on)

TEXTURE

Soft and fully covered my pigmented lips. But i found it's kinda hard to spread (see how it's appears on my lips below) and it's drying.

My favorite lip balm, burt bee's (reviewed here), can't solve this problem. Sometimes it's drying crazily and makes my lips chapped so bad :(

As it supposed to be, it's stained. The stain is a better shade, but since it's drying my lips so baaad, even it's only stain left, i dont use it often-ly.

SCENT

Slightly scented but appears once it's applied.

My lippie swatch :

fully covered

Minimal stain left.

pretty right? like the pink version of my lips!

sadly again, it's drying crazily.

Maybe this drying problem is just mine, because i found so many girls loving this product.

Have you try this?

til the next time .. (人´³｀)⌒♡

Review & Swatch : Nyx Tango with Bronzing Powder 04

Hi Readers!

I am mostly forget to write a review of product that i use almost everyday, i have to start now with my favorite blush/bronzer :D

This is my 1st nyx product.

Nyx mostly raved as a cheap dupe, with great quality product. Nyx TWBP 04 is looks like Too Faced Pink Leopard Brightening Bronzer in pan, but when it swatched to skin, TWBP 04 is much pigmented and looks between blush and bronzer in my opinion, while Too Faced's looks more like highlighter for me. I dont have TF Pink Leopard, but i do have read some reviews by another beauty blogger.

Nyx TWBP also in cheap side, it's only usd 10 on their website, for 11.5 gr of product.

Nyx said :

It takes two to tango but just one of our brilliant bronzing powders to kickstart your look. Our mosaic bronzer shades create a golden glow on the face and body—like you’ve just returned from a Caribbean getaway. Sun-kissed never looked this sexy or healthy. Available in five versions.

The box is very beautiful, i like the Goddess on the front. So classy and unique. It also has a pattern like product inside in one side.

It's also doesn't contain Paraben, good for our skin & body! ^^

the Goddess is appear again in the packaging! yay!!

Troduct contains of 3 shades : pink, dark brown and creamy brown. They're hard to swipe alone, because of the size. I really like the pattern :)

Nyx kindly gives a brush for product, it's quite good, better than brush i've received from another blush.

I use this brush to make a few contour in my cheeks, and it works very well :)

I compared it with my Milani Baked Blush to see the size better.

Swatch!

Shades alone. All shades come with a sheen, very acceptable and help to brighten your face.

If it's use as a bronzer in all over face, it's give a natural fresh sun kissed look. It will look more fabulous if you have brown eyes and medium brown hair ^^

Shades blended

I LOVE TWBP 04!

since it could work as blush and or bronzer, it help you to get some contour and some blushing effect at the same time. Very good for travelling with the mirror and the useful brush.

And the best thing about it, it has a very good staying power. I could use it in the morning and still see it in evening. Lovely, right?

have you try it?

what do you think about it?
