Swatch: NYX Round Lipsticks in Peach Bellini, Chich Red, Chaos, Shiva

Chaos and Shiva are favourites in this batch. Shiva especially when I'm going barefaced and want a pop of colour on my face.

Vanity Pic: Featuring NYX Round Lipstick in Chic Red

Very minimal makeup today. Just plain ol' moisturiser followed by my trusty powder concealer, a dusting of silk powder. Blush used is the Autumn limited edition blush from Body Shop in Berry.
What I really want to show off today are the red lips! I don't naturally gravitate to reds. I'm more of a berry/wine/burgundy kind of girl and red to me kinda screams for attention. But today, I was in a more daring mood and went for the red lips, since I didn't really feel like putting on the eyemakeup too.

I like this colour a lot! I thought that red would wash me out or be too aunty but amazingly this didn't do that to me (of course, only in my own opinion. Others around me might think differently!)

Wearing this colour got a lot of comments from my students though. Mostly "Ma'am, why your mouth so red today!" To which I just retorted something along the lines of drinking student's blood hahah. I love teaching my students. I get to joke this way with them, we have a good laugh, then we get down to the business of study.

So anyway that's my lip for today :)

Just for reference, I've put the pic for the swatch I did in my last post here for more comparison.

Mini Haul and Swatches: NYX Round Lipsticks in Shiva, Chic Red and Peach Bellini

Hi all! It's been a long while since I last posted, but you will be hearing more from me now that I'm back at work and can steal time over lunch or break to blog! Chasing around two kids at home means I'm barely on my computer and the only way I was keeping up with anything was with my wonderful, awesome, gorgeous Samsung S2 on twitter, email and facebook!
So anyway, a couple of months back I got these round lippies when I saw the NYX Summer collection. Me being me, I wanted to get all of them just because I love colours, but I restricted myself to these three which are colours that I can see myself wearing and are at least a little bit different from what I already own.

As always, I love the creamy consistency of the NYX round lipsticks. I find them to be quite moisturising for my lips and quite pigmented. They don't last that long, usually after about 2 to 3 hours I will need to touch-up but I'm not going to complain as these babies are quite cheap at about SGD4.50-5.00 each.

Lip swatches to follow in the next few days as I give these babies a long-awaited test run! So far, Peach Bellini is the only one that has gotten any wear as I find it such a grab and go colour :)

Catchya soon, loves!
