Nyx Swatches and Review

Milk - is a pure matte white colour. This is a must-have from the jumbo eyshadow pencils in my opinion as you can put any colour over this.

Cottage Cheese - is the shimmery version of milk, really pretty and perhaps more wearable if you don't like the stark white look.

Yogurt - shimmery peachy colour, really pretty and one of my favourites, goes with a lot of the eyeshadow colours that I like to wear.

Black Bean - matte black. If you going for smokey looks, this would make for a good base. Sorry about the swatch, it is more pigmented than that, there was some moisture in mine and it didn't apply the best.

Horse Radish - Shimmery light green, not very versatile, but still a cool colour.

Dark Brown - matte dark brown colour. I found this one to be more pigmented and smoother than black bean. I really like this one.

Pots and Pans - shimmery silver, this one almost has a duo colour in it, looks blue in some lights. Really pretty and I use this one a lot.

* A pencil that I would recommend that I do not have myself is French Fries, it's a shimmery brown, would really work well with neutral, everyday looks. 

These are really a good buy for the price. They are very smooth and very pigmented. They also blend very nicely on your lids. I know some people have compared these to the MAC shadesticks, Personaly i dont like the mac shade sticks, i dont find them easy to blend.  I have to say NYX is amazing cosmetics they are an amazing base or shadow alone if u dont want to much makeup but just a pop of colour.

Mac Viva Glam lipsticks

This is the viva glam lipglosses In gaga and Cyndie

These are the lipsticks that match the lipglosses arent they an amazing colour :)

earlier on in the year I am sure most of you were aware that Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper collaborated with M.A.C and launched their very own personalised Viva Glam lipsticks and lip glosses. I personally bought both the lippies and I think they are absolutely gorgeous - so creamy and bright! And the best part? All the proceeds from each Viva Glam purchase goes towards helping the M.A.C AIDS Fund.  This is a great idea to get a good lipstick/ gloss and help people who are in need, Here is some examples of how your money helps those in need,

♥ Provide 1 nutritious meal for a support group for 2 days

♥ Provide support and education for 5 pregnant women diagnosed with HIV/AIDS giving them the tools to prevent transmission to their unborn child

♥ Buy 1 pair of school shoes for a child orphaned by AIDS

♥ Purchase 1 school starter pack of stationery for a child orphaned by AIDS

♥ Buy 1 vegetable seed starter pack for a community garden

♥ Purchase health education posters for a child care resource center

♥ Provide 1 Party Pack for a child to celebrate Christmas, Easter or a birthday.

 Since the inception of the M∙A∙C Aids Fund, together we have raised in excess of $190,000,000 

Please go out and buy these products it is for a good cause, I have and it has made me think wow i have helped a child by buying the lipstick.  A innocent child deserves their child hood we had ours dont you think they should have theirs.  We can make a difference.
