The Top 5 NYX Products Worth Buying!

NYX Cosmetics

NYX is a brand I first discovered years ago through watching the early beauty youtubers, but unfortunately it wasn't as easy to get hold of here in the UK. Finally years later NYX Cosmetics is now available in Boots and Boots online which is great to hear, so I thought I'd share with you my Top 5 favourite products worth buying.

NYX Matte Bronzer

1. NYX Matte Bronzer £7

I've been fond of this bronzer for years now as it's matte, non-orange, buildable and it blends out well too. I also featured this in my Top 10 Drugstore Bronzers Worth Buying as it's a great affordable option that has the perfect consistency and plus it comes with a mirror too.

NYX Wonder Stick

2. NYX Wonder Stick £10

The Wonder Stick is a great product if you're a beginner to highlighting and contouring. This easy to use stick comes in four shades and a step by step guide on how to use. I love this as it's convenient, quick and has a great consistency that altogether help you achieve the perfect contour and highlight just like a pro.

NYX Eyebrow Gel

3. NYX Eyebrow Gel £5.50
I've tried a fair few brow products from NYX, but I have to say the one product that impressed me the most was their Eyebrow Gel. This is very similar to a brow pomade except it comes in a tube. All you do is squeeze a little onto a lid and dip in your brush. I love this as it's great for filling in gaps, defining the brow and the best thing is it's super long-wearing. The gel comes in five shades which you can also mix to create a custom brow shade.

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils

4. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils £5
The NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils have been a staple in my make-up collection ever since I can remember. These vivid sticks of colour can be used as an eyeshadow, liner or as a coloured eyeshadow base to help a powder shadow pop. I use these on a weekly basis mostly as a coloured eyeshadow base as they are creaseless, long-wearing and come in so many fun shades. Four of my staples are Sparkle Nude, French Fries, Milk and Black Bean.

NYX Butter Lipstick

This last product I found hard to choose as for me NYX are the best when it comes to drugstore lip products as they have so many different colours finishes and types of lip products to choose from. I did finally narrow it down to two, as I know not everyone likes the same finish of lipstick.

5. NYX Butter Lipstick £5.50
First up is the NYX Butter Lipstick, if you prefer a lip product with a slight sheen. These are super creamy and glide on like a dream and for £5.50 you can't go wrong! Pops is my favourite shade as it's a really wearable nude/brown, but there is defiantly a colour for everyone with 26 shades to choose from.

 

NYX Matte Lipstick

NYX Matte Lipsticks £6.50
As I mentioned above I wanted to share with you a sneaky sixth lipstick for anyone who prefers a matte finish. The NYX Matte Lipsticks have phenomenal colour pay off and come in a whopping 45 shades to choose from. My favourite is Whipped Caviar which is very similar to MAC Twig. This again is such a wearable shade, that's non drying and is pretty impressive for the price.



NYX Butter Lipstick Review and Photos

NYX Butter Lipsticks in Snow Cap and Pops

Following on from the success of the Butter Glosses, comes NYX's newest butter release, the Butter Lipstick. I'm already a big fan of the glosses because of their creamy texture, affordability and great colour selection, so here's my thoughts on the latest offering to the butter family.

Price
These retail for £5.50 for 4.5g of lipstick, which is great value for money. The line also comes in over 30 colours to choose from, which is amazing for a drugstore brand. NYX is also now available online at feelunique.com, Boots.com, ASOS, Very and in store at Selfridges.

Packaging
The packaging is pretty, yet simple and each lipstick is colour co-ordinated to the relevant lipstick shade.

Application
These glide on so smoothly and have the most gorgeous buttery texture, just like the name suggests. I picked up Snow Cap and Pops and both shades were beautifully pigmented, vibrant and had a lovely glossy finish to them.

Longevity
Because of their smooth, glide-on texture, these unfortunately didn't stay on as long as I hoped. So I would recommend priming the lips with a lip liner and blotting with powder and a tissue in between layers, to get the best out of these lipstick's.

Overall Thoughts
Overall these lipstick version's of the butter glosses are amazing, as not only are they affordable, they come in the best on trend colour selection and they glide-on so smoothly for a drugstore lipstick.

Yes it is a shame that the longevity factor is not so great, but don't let this put you off the exceptional quality of these lipsticks for the price, as it is unusual to find such a great formulated lipstick with a wide variety of wearable shades, available on the high street market.

I award the NYX Butter Lipstick 4.7 out of 5
