I must confess, Id
neither heard of nor tried NYX Cosmetics until recently.
Available from Very or www.nyxcosmetics.co.uk the
brand is packed full of great looking products at really reasonable price prices-
think similar prices to brands stocked in Boots and Superdrug stores.
As a newbie to the
brand I opted for two of their hero products to try first, their Butter Gloss
and a Baked Blush, Illuminator and Bronzer in one.
NYX Butter Gloss in
Angel Food Cake is one of the most beautiful lip products I’ve tried in a very
long time.
Smelling like a
vanilla cupcake, this beautiful dusky pink shade is deliciously thick, rich and
creamy in texture.
Designed to be used
alone or over your favourite lipstick, it offers medium coverage that melts
onto your lips.
It offers shine like
a gloss without any stickiness and leaves your lips feeling beautifully soft
and gorgeous.
I like to layer this
gloss on to get a brighter hit of colour but it’s equally beautiful when used
lightly or as suggested, to give a gorgeous, moisturising sheen over lipstick.
At £6.50 I think it’s a
great bargain product and the shade is just the most perfect mauve. It gets a
giant thumbs up for me!
Another great product
is their Baked Blush, Illuminator and Bronzer.
Packaged ina cute box adorned with a black bow, mine is in the shade
Ladylike and is a very cute pale pink.
Its iridescent sheen
make for a beautiful blush that not only gives you a gorgeous, buildable shade
but creates the illusion of healthy, glowing skin thanks to its illuminating properties.
The silky,
lightweight formula is perfect for sweeping along your cheek bones to add
further illumination though I personally wouldn’t use this shade as a true highlighter
as it is quite pink.
I dusted some on my
brow bones and they did look a bit too pinky,
so I just reserved it for use on my cheeks and cheekbones.
Im not 100% sure how
this can also be a bronzer because as mentioned, and as you can see, it is
pink, so unless you create a bronzed look with pink hues, I wouldn’t personally
use it for that purpose.
You can create a
bolder look by applying it wet with a makeup sponge for more intensity but I
love it the way it is.
This little pretty costs
£7 which I think it pretty fab considering you get both a blush and an illuminator
in one.
If you’ve yet to try
NYX Cosmetics I strongly recommend you take a look at their collection over at
the Very website, you won’t be disappointed!
I haven't tried NYX. But these products look promising. :)

I love the Nyx Butter Glosses, I ordered the HD concealer from Very a while back and it's brilliant too! Actually just posted a Nyx and Wet n Wild Haul last night if you fancy having a peek :)
