Swatcharama - NYX Round Lipsticks

Doesn't look like Blogger is ever going to regurgitate those comments it ate so I'm really sorry if yours disappeared!

Hmm this might not be the most timely of posts because of the all to recent NYX sale debacle (how do all these companies keep getting it so wrong??) but I had this post all ready to go and even though it sounds like the customer service is appalling I still think the products are good and worth sharing.

I have a tonne of these lovely little things. They're so so cheap (especially if you buy them from Cherry Culture during a sale.) and pretty good! They're really pigmented and creamy, not at all drying, and while they aren't super long lasting they don't fade away instantly, I need to reapply after a few hours or after eating. A couple of the paler shades go a bit patchy on me, but not terribly. The only thing I don't really like is the scent, they're sort of flowery or perfumey and I don't like that on my mouth. You can't smell it at all once it's on though, just while applying. They're definately worth the price! The swatches on Cherry Culture are appalling though, so I've ended up with some I probably won't wear and will stick on my blog sale when I finally get it up.

Orange Soda - Very unusual pastel orange with a tiny hint of peach.

 

Lots more after the jump

Strawberry Milk - Very pale baby pink.

  

Power - pale pink with a very slight greyish purpleish heatherish tinge.

  

Iced Lavender - beigey nudey color with a hint of purple and a lovely blue sheen

Fusion - fuschiaish with a slight blue sheen.

  

Louisiana - Bright beautiful slightly warm pink

 

NYX - orange with a goldy coppery shimmer

 

Pandora - dark fuschia with a silver sheen

 

Eggplant -  eggplant colour with a tiny hint of silver glitter

  

All the following red shades look very similar in these photos. They're quite different in real life. I will try and get some new photos that show the differences better ASAP :)

 Chaos - Bright blueish red

 

Electra - Bright 'true' red. It's warmer than Chaos but doesn't seem to be particularly warm.

 

Black Cherry - warm brickish red colour

 

Snow White - dark slightly blackened brickish red

I've got some more coming to me once I can afford the shipping too! :P
