Haul: NYX Round Lipsticks

Another line of lipsticks that NYX Cosmetics has is their Round Lipstick collection. At my local grocery store, these puppies retail for $0.99 so I grabbed a couple to try out.

-Rea: Mid-toned nude
-Pandora: Heavy mauve with blue frost

They are velvety in texture but they seem like a less saturated cream than of those lipsticks off the Lips line. They are fairly longlasting in color, but do have a tendency to dry lips out depending on the amount of layers applied.







Are there exciting plans going on this weekend?

Aloha,
Mrs. Lynne

*PS. I'm testing out clickable images on this post to help some readers view the photos at a higher resolution. Please let me know if having clickable images is helpful for all pictures posted or if it would be more beneficial on the FOTDs and some other entries. Mahalo! :)

Share and Enjoy your MakeupFix!

Im loving the pandora colour, too bad there are no NYX here boo and they are cheap also.

Pandora looks very nice :) clickable/linked images are good, though I stopped using them except for close-ups of eye makeup, to see the detail in blending colors.

The images are clicking well for me too. :)

Rea looks great for smokey eyes, i've been eyeing that color and now u convinced me to get that hehehe $0.99 is crazy huh? thats why i love NYX, you can stock some pretty colors without making a hole on your wallet.
My birthday is coming in 4 days and I'm gonna buy myself some NYX products for a present hahahahaahahaha

keep on posting : D i love your blog!

Bliss Hiya Bliss! Pandora is really pretty. We're all going to have to petition together to have NYX more readily available.

How is your weekend going so far?

Wolkje Hi Wolkje! Thanks for stopping by :) I appreciate your feedback on the clickable picture testing. I am duly noting your thumbs up!

Have any plans for this weekend?

mayaari Hi sweetie! Pandora is a really gorgeous color. When I saw it on the rack, I just knew I had to get it.

I'm thinking about using the clickable pictures for closeups on the FOTDs and select tutorials. I'd like to do it for all of them but sometimes it seems irrelevant for some pictures.

Thanks for you input hun!

Nilla Cookie Thanks Lilan for the photo feedback :) Does WP have the photo thumbnail option as well? I also want to be considerate of implementing these things especially since later that is the direction I'll be heading.

And ANYTHING for $1 makes me holla!! Lol.

How is your weekend going so far?

Nanzy You bet girl! $0.99 is such a deal for fantastic cosmetics. If only the formula was a tad better like MAC's (and better finishes) I'd be all over them like crazy!

Happy early birthday as well Nanzy! I hope you have a good one and get lots of new loot to play with.

Thank you for the encouragement to keep truckin' girl. I'm definitely here for the long run and trying to get everything down as time presents itself. You, as well as many other readers, are so AWESOME and I appreciate the love and support!! Have a fantastic weekend!

I love Rea, reminds me of Pillow Pink but even more nude. I hope NYX goes on smoother than CG l/s. Can't wait to try it out. And you've got GORGEOUS lips lynne!

Mrs. Lynne, MakeupFix.net said...

ladyjane Hiya ladyjane! Thanks for the compliment. But different angles always make things look better ;) Trust me, my lips aren't that great, lol.

I don't remember how CG l/s feel like since it's been such a long time, but NYX does go on nicely. Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think :)

How are you doing so far this weekend?

Jackie said...

rea is looks like a great nude color. $ 0.99 a pop is a STEAL! wow. btw, you have very, very nice and full lips! luscious!

Mrs. Lynne, MakeupFix.net said...

eikcaj Hey girl! Thank you for the compliment on the lips. But I assure you they are crooked little things when looked at straight on, lol.

Rea is pretty nice. Not as nice as my Bare Slimshine, but the color will definitely pair good with a smokey eye for sure! Do you have access to NYX in your area?

Jenn said...

$0.99 for a lipstick sounds soo irresistable!! gosh, i hate being in this part of the world where only a handful of cosmetic brands are available!! they're not cheap too! somebody from the US adopt me, PLEASE!!! lol!! :P btw, your lips are beyond sexy!! Whoot! *wolf-whistles*

Clickable images are definitely useful! :)

Mrs. Lynne, MakeupFix.net said...

crazychick At $0.99, it's a shame that there's not more companies tapping into that priced market, hah.

Aww,.. you need to just move to the states girl! You'd have so much access to EVERYTHING, not just cosmetics! But then trips to Singapore sound lovely too.

Thanks for the input on the clickable images. I'm definitely in the works of implementing them :)

Have a great day girl!

I always upload fairly large photos and use the thumbnail option in the Blogger uploader. That pretty much takes care of everything my lazy butt doesn't want to do. :P

Anyway, those NYX lipsticks are looking great! Especially at $1 each!

Emilee Blogger is so convenient, isn't it? Hah.

Do you have access to NYX in your area Emilee? You should check them out for sure!
