Nyx Cream Blush Review and Swatches (Natural | Boho Chic | Tickeled)




In makeup, blush is always a girl’s best friend, well for me that is. I can’t go out without putting any blushes because I will definitely look very pale. Blushes alone can make girls extra pretty even without all the eye makeup. I have always been using a cheek tint for my everyday blush. Sometimes I use powder blushes, but for long lasting pigment I have always use cheek tints. But sometimes when you have extremely dry skin you can’t use both powder and cheek tints so I tried to find an alternative. At first I was hesitant to try cream blushes because I know that my face would react to the oil of the product, but I tried it anyway. I tried the Nyx Cream Blush which a lot of people have been raving about. It is the perfect blush for those people who are always on the go. They are so easy to use and it is very pigmented. Just a one swipe or tap in your cheeks and you get that healthy looking skin. It might just look a bit oily on the face because of its creamy texture but you can always set it with loose powder. The holding power is not very strong like the others but it’s good enough for everyday makeup and for the price. Totally worth the buy.

Nyx Xtreme Lip Cream Review and Swatches (Strawberry Jam | Buttery Nude | Bonfire)




Another lip product that I wanna share is the Xtreme Lipcream from Nyx. I only have 3 shades since I am not a big fan unlike the Nyx Matte Lipcreams.



When I first searched about the Matte Lipcreams, this also popped up in my search but after a few reads I found out that this is different. And out of curiosity, I bought these 3 shades. In my mind is that if the Matte Lipcreams are great then definitely this will be twice as great as it is. Well…it wasn’t what I expected but it is still okay just not really my type of lipstick. It’s actually a LIPGLOSS + LIPCREAM combined. And because I am not a big fan of lip gloss, I never raved about this product. But since this product is very pigmented I still kept it in my stash. But whenever I am wearing it, I definitely will have those moments where my hair would stick to my lips. But overall, this product is okay. Not perfect but good enough if you wanna have that added gloss.

Below are the swatches of the 3 shades (Strawberry Jam | Buttery Nude | Bonfire)
