About a month ago I treated myself to some
NYX glosses. These glosses were so highly recommended by many beauty bloggers
and YouTube beauty gurus that I was sure they will end up costing an arm and a
leg. Imagine my surprise when I found them on Moja drogerija for less
than 3 € each. I'm not a big fan of the design of the tube, but you really
can't beat the price on that one. So yes, I did end up buying more than one and
let me tell you, it was not an easy choice to make – there are more than 10
colors available and I would purchase each and every one of them given the
money and the space to put them :)
Overall I can say I really like these
glosses although I'm usually partial to lipsticks, simply because I don't love
having my hair sticking to something sticky on my lips. But anyway, these
glosses have a relatively nice smell and are reasonably pigmented, especially
in the darker colors.
The colors I got are Amethyst, Apricot and True
red. I won't go on a lot about Amethyst, because I've talked about it already
in my September favorites. But let's just repeat that it's a nice
copper-ish color which in my opinion isn't very summery but will be perfect for
autumn and winter time.
The Apricot color is a nice subtle color which is not very pigmented and is
the least long lasting out of all three. It is however nice to put over a
brighter lipstick (I love wearing it over my Matte Lip Paint by Barry M
lipstick in Sunset) but almost unnoticeable by itself. It's also the only one
that won't leave stain on your lips.
Last but not least, we have the gloss in True
red. This is by far the most pigmented out of all three colors. It looks dark
red, almost burgundy, in the tube, but has a pink undertone to it. I can't get
away with wearing it by itself; I have to use a lip liner with this one. It's
also the most difficult to apply in terms of not exaggerating with the color –
I tend to put the want to the bottom lip first and then pick up the residue
from the bottom lip to put on the top lip. The best result was however achieved
when I actually made an effort to use a lip brush.
All in all I love these glosses and will
probably get some more.
Do you have any shade that you only wear in
the colder months? Let me know in the comments!
Until next time, stay beautiful, stay
awesome!
Čudoviti odtenki! :)
ReplyDeleteJaz imam kar podobne odtenke čez celo leto - mogoče samo po kakšnih temnejših večkrat posežem v jeseni. :)
