NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil, review and swatches.

So I feel like I've been neglecting my blog, but writing a dissertation and all other uni stuff is keeping me super busy and when I've got time off I just want to watch tv and eat ice cream, but I decided to do a review of a product I've been loving recently.

I got some pretty NYX products in their cyber monday sale and the Jumbo Lip Pencil is my new favourite lip product!

I got Plush Red and Chaos for £5 each. The NYX description of these says "What could be better, a lip liner and lipstick in one! NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil delivers precise lip lining while filling your lips with a smooth creamy, moisturising colour."

I totally agree that they are creamy and moisturising. These are highly pigmented and go on so smoothly, give full coverage, the colour lasts for hours and it stays moisturising throughout, but it can be hard to get a precise line because they are a little big. 

The only problem I had with these is that they don't twist up, they need a sharpener and are not easy to sharpen, I don't know if its because they are a hard plastic, but I've gone through 2 sharpeners on these! Maybe I'm just buying a rubbish sharpener.

So if your looking for a highly pigmented, moisturising lip pencil these are totally worth a try and they are really affordable!

NXY Haul

Since reading so many amazing reviews of nyx make up and seeing how good it looked over and over again I really wanted to try some of their stuff out! So last week I finally got round to ordering some stuff, I ordered on the Wednesday night and it arrived by Friday morning which I was really impressed by, I later read on the site that they aim to do next day delivery which is so good for an impatient person like me. They also do free delivery for orders over £40 which is a plus.

The middle one is the Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp, £5.50, I love everything about this product. It smells like cupcakes is highly pigmented and isn't super drying like matte lip products can be. I want this in pretty much all the other shades. 

  

 Its my new favourite.

I also got the Jumbo Lip Pencil in Chaos, £5, this is a really moisturising product and its super smooth, I like this because I get such dry lips in winter.

 I got the HD Concealer Wand in the lightest shade CW1O porcelain, I wanted this to be pretty light so I could use it to brighten my under eye area so this is a perfect shade for that. I love this concealer its really good coverage and only creases a tiny bit, it also lasts all day. I didn't do swatches which is a blogging fail, but my camera had low battery. 

NYX products are much better than a lot of high street make up brands I've tried and they are all 100% cruelty free and really good quality, so excited to try some more of their products!

Has anyone else tried any amazing nyx products ?

Style crush: Twin Peaks

So recently in-between doing loads of uni work I've been watching Twin Peaks and I'm a little obsessed. The whole setting of the show is so pretty and the cast are just some of the most flawless people I've ever set eyes on but mainly I'm obsessed with the clothes and style of the female cast, classic cuts, pencil skirts, polo knits perfect make up and the most perfect flowing locks all day long.

So I picked some pretty things that I can wear while pretending I'm a a resident. 

Earrings: Topshop £12

Red polo: Topshop £38

Pink fluffy jumper: Topshop £36

Soft Matte Lip cream NYX: £5.50

Loafers: Office £60

Green A-line skirt: Monki £20

Pink cropped knitted jumper: Topshop £42

Tartan skirt: New Look £18

I actually just bought some NYX make up after reading so many amazing reviews! So I'll post about that soon :) 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Wishlist

So it's just been my birthday and I got lots of pretty stuff so shouldn't really be looking at more things, but I need breaks in between boring writing dissertation stuff.
When I was in London I went to the muji store and I love the storage boxes!! I don't really have any proper make up storage just now, but these are so perfect and really affordable.

Coco Fennel do the prettiest dresses, I already have 2 and I adore them! This sailor dress is something I can imagine wearing all the time its just SO cute. The tutti fruity one is also amazing.

Last thing i'm lusting over is some NYX make up. I've read so many good things about NYX and I really want to try a few of their lip products I've just never got round to actually ordering. I'm on a spending ban after going a little wild with birthday presents, but after I hand in some essays this stuff is on my rewards list.
