Haul: Nyx Mega Shine Lipglosses, Round Lipsticks & OCC Lip Tars

[moonSerena7]

I just found your channel browsing online and I really enjoy them! Your very helpful and I love that you have a lot of nyx swatches since the swatches on the official site aren't that great. Also thanks for introducing me to the OCC brand. I'm really excited to try the lip tars! :)

PS I like your accent (I'm Californian) :D

@moonSerena7 oh thanks Serena! The online swatches of NYX leave a lot to be desired, so I am hoping these help. I have just bought a better camera, and will have to finally start spending some time on editing, but will probably do some NYX collection swatch vids to add to the YT mix. They'll be helpful if the lighting and res are good! Thanks so much for your lovely comment! OCC is awesome but they take getting used to as it's very overwhelmingly pigmented so I had to practice with a light hand

I have a couple of the lip tars and dont wear them often enough. Makeupandglow (aussie website) stocks them at a great price and they have 30% at the moment. Hmmm I should buy some clear one for myself....lol.

@MsGoddessintraining not sure if that sale is still on (good to know btw!!!), but I've found that clear one very helpful in 'thinning' out some colours that are just toooooo much KWIM? they are bloody vibrant , and sometimes too much so (say for the office ; ) thanks so much for the website- looks great!!

@jodik76 Yeah I think it's over now, but still managed to get the clear gloss. I actually like mixing vintage (a dark red/brown) with the lighter ones too.

[jodik76]

@MsGoddessintraining Nice! I do remember seeing Vintage and thinking it was reeeeeeallly pretty!

love nyx round lipsticks...u should try indian pink and thalia love it:)

[jodik76]

@pratty84 Thanks so much for the tip on the colours! I know I have one of them already on the way (I ordered over 2 weeks ago, can't wait for it to get here!!!!), and will have to order the other one really soon! I do remember that both names made my shortlist that I made when I was looking at swatches- we must have similar tastes! Thanks for the recommendations!!

[pratty84]

@jodik76 I did some swatches on my blog if you wanted to check it out:)

[jodik76]

@pratty84 Your blog is lovely and you are absolutely beautiful btw! So jealous of your lips!! Got my Indian Pink today, but now have to order Thalia, and also you make Frappucino look gorgeous too!! Thanks for sharing! xo

[pratty84]

@jodik76 that's so sweet, glad it helped u decide on some colours:) I will be putting up a second part with some slightly bolder lip colours soon...and yes get frapuccino its gorgeous!!

[jodik76]

@pratty84 meant to tell you that I now have Thalia on the way- Cherryculture had a great sale on recently- $1.99 round lippies- yahoo! Thanks so much for sharing- hope you're having a great day : )

the lip tars look amazing! ive wanted to order them for a while, and you've just twisted my arm! thanks! X

[jodik76]

@jesswoolley0409 Definitely not for the faint-hearted! Have found the clear gloss helpful in thinning out the product when it's just too much alone. do let me know what you think!!
