NYX lipsticks II

Hi all,

Whoa, I've been off for a month. Not sure if anyone noticed? I wanted to write about some things, but I didn't feel like writing at all...well, there's no point in forcing onself, right? A proper break is always refreshing. I have some new make up stuff (Mac mineralize blushes, Inglot eyeshadows) ... I think I'll post swatches soon (I'm postponing drawing and painting till summer, my studies are annoying and I'm usually too moody to draw...). Anyway, the lipsticks! I got another batch just after Easter and I'm all in love.

They look a bit the same indeed and I got scared a little, but on the lips - it's a whole new story.

Fig, Doll, Off the beaten path, India, Berry

Fig is a lovely coral shade, it's rather light but at the same time it's pretty bold in real life, so I guess it's not for everyone.

Doll - it's like a dusty dark pink, reddish...reminds me of wine colour a little, but less deep. I find it a bit dark, heavy to use daily and don't really know what kind of make up matches it, so it's my least favourite of the bunch. Still, it's a lovely shade.

 

Off the beaten path (Black label) - it's a soft reddish colour, very fresh, somewhere between pink and orange. This is more of a doll colour, I'd say!

India (Black label) - I can't really swatch it. Pale lipsticks, with a lot of white, are clearly not for me. It looks lovely mixed with a clear lip gloss...will take photos soon.

Berry (Black label) - another lovely shade. It's a soft red again, on a cool side...but it's very subtle, not like those classic red shades. I can't really tell what it is that makes it so wearable. Maybe there is a hint of white to it or something like that?
