Review | NYX Soft matte lip creams



The hype surrounding the NYX soft matte lip creams has been huge, beauty bloggers have been raving about them and I was sure I wasn't going to fall into the hype... until Kassia from styleofbeautyduo raved about them, and then that was it, I ordered two within minutes of watching her video. can I just say that these are incredible! The forumla is really creamy and easy to apply but shock horror, it's matte... typically not something you would expect from such a creamy forumla? I wore San paulo on a night out and only had to reapply it once, they're extremely long lasting and when they do fade it's even and not patchy, and they sort of smell like vanilla cupcakes? always a bonus! I love them so much I would even go as far as saying that San paulo is my new all time favorite lip product! I find milan a little too light pink on my skin tone, but I think it would look lovely on paler skin tones. I already have my eye on three other colours which with no doubt will be joining my makeup collection soon...


what are your thoughts on these lip creams?

Haul | MAC, Superdrug, Yankee candle and more

This month has been a good shopping month for me, I saved up money from last months wages and I ended up having a lot of extra money this month to treat myself with, I haven't brought everything myself, the Yankee candles were presents from my parents and were at a heavily discounted price!
All of these products weren't purchased at the same time, but over the space of a month.
A bulk of the products are repurchases, as it always seems I ran out of my essentials at the same time... never a good thing.







MAC
208 angled eyebrow brush
Charcoal brown eyeshadow
Pro palette quad
I've been wanting to try out new products for my eyebrows, I love my benefit browzings but I thought having my everyday eyeshadow colours (All that glitters & Satin taupe) and an eyebrow colour in one quad would just make life that little bit easier, and charcoal brown will also be a snazzy crease colour!

NYX
Two soft matte lip creams in Milan and San Paulo
As soon as I saw Kassia from styleofbeautyduo rave on about these products I've wanted them, I'm a matte lip colour kind of girl and I don't like the feeling of heavy gloss on my lips.

BOOTS & SUPERDRUG
Collection cream puff in fairy cake
Maybelline lasting drama gel liner
Rimmel stay matte powder
Collection lasting perfection concealer
Rimmel salon pro nail polish in "Soul session"
Rimmel Wake me up foundation
La roche-posay effaclar mat
Pamlers cocoa butter dark chocolate and peppermint lip butter

CANDLES
Two large Yankee candles in black coconut and summer scoop
Three Kringle candle wax melts in Pancake breakfast, lemon rind and splash

I also brought the cutest pair of tweezers for £1.95 and they're so sharp and great for getting out hairs, with a cath kidston like print on them!

What's your favorite product from this haul?
