I was at the store yesterday picking up groceries and decided to treat myself to a little cosmetic indulgence. And the good thing about this indulgence is not only was it debit card friendly (all this was about the cost of ONE potted MAC shadow), it was conveniently located in the cosmetics section of this local grocery store I shop at!! Can we say "iiiice-ing". And the NYX shelf is just as big as the L'Oreal/Covergirl shelves anywhere so it's a pretty wide selection of NYX products that this place carries.
In addition to my MAC collection, I think I'm going to expand my NYX collection as well just because they have such beautiful colors altogether whether it's the single, trio, chrome, ultimate pearl, or loose pearl eyeshadows. And the guilt of impulse buying a few products isn't as steep in comparison to impulse buying a few products (is there such a thing?) at MAC. On top of that, NYX shadows are heavily pigmented and their textures are incredibly sooooft. Just a couple of swipes with the brush and a good amount of the color is transferred. Just make sure you flick or tap the excess off so that it applies evenly on to your lids.

I love NYX Cosmetics, i've been a fan before they were well-known and they do have awesome pigmentation! Great haul!
Nice haul! :D I'm thinking of indulging myself AFTER christmas. :P Hopefully I get enough Christmas to do so. Heh. :D I also love Milani eyeshadows... pretty well pigmented as well. They have a couple of MAC dupes in their bunch as well. I'm only sad they don't have more colors than they do. :P
Nessa: Hi love :) Me too! Well, not sure if it was before they were well-known, but I bought a few products by them about a year and a half ago and have been buying stuff on and off since then. What I forgot to do was check to see if they had their new brushes when I was there. Well, gosh. I guess I'll just have to check tomorrow when I go grocery shopping, lol!
Chris: I hear lots of good things about Milani eyeshadows. I don't currently own any but I check them out if I'm at a K-mart here since I know they are one of the stores that carry them. I'm hardly in there because, well... K-mart just sucks, lol. I'll have to see if Wal-mart here has it since I'm frequently in that store.
i love your eyes! and that liner! fab!
yummy411: mahalos, mama :)
hi mrs.lynne,
i've been reading your blog religiously and now i'm in love with NYX, recently i just bought B-52 Thalia and Cocoa lipstick and i cant get enough of them : )
Was just wondering, since i also live in Hawaii, what stores sell NYX lines? Longs near my place only has a very few chrome shadows and lip liners : ( and i found the lipsticks at Donquijote but they don't carry the lipglosses.
mwahs & thanx <3
Nanzy Heya Nanzy! Wow. I'm honored to be part of your daily reads girl! That really makes me feel good about what I'm doing :)
As for the stores that sell NYX, all I know so far of is Longs and Don Quijote also. I have a feeling you may find some at a beauty store, but I just haven't had the time to see.
I have no luck in finding lipglosses either except for the diamond sparkle ones.
Please let me know if you find other places. I'd love to know!!
If u live in Oahu, they have NYX @ Fragrance Outlet in Waikele Outlet, but they don't have a complete collections, only eyeshadows, eyepencils, lipsticks (including Black Label ones, but not round lipsticks) I also bought some of the Lipglosses other than Diamond sparkles lines : ) so you can check it out if u want some more hehehe
i also have been trying to find MILANI eyeshadows but found nothing so far : ( any help maybe?
oh and you have gorgeous sons btw ^_^
mahalo
Nanzy I actually do live on Oahu so I will definitely check out Waikele next time I'm on that side. I'm normally checking out Old Navy instead, lol.
I've seen Milani at Longs. It won't be next to the entire wall of cosmetics but normally off an end cap on the next aisles. Oh, and Kmart also has Milani. Haven't been in a while, but last time I was there, they did.
Thanks for the love on the tykes. They'll be glad to know that they're getting some camera-time on the web, lol.
