NYX Butter Goss - Maple Blondie

I thought it looked quite thin when I swatched it on my arm, I was wrong.
 
So I've seen this little gem popping up here, there and everywhere lately. So I just had to try it out! YES, it's another pink gloss! Can you believe it? I think I've turned to the girl side :o
As everyone speaks very highly of butter butter glosses, I just needed to try one out. So I decided to play it safe and go with a recommended colour. Now this looked like quite a popular shade when I looked into it.That's when I picked Maple Blondie as it looked like a nice natural pinky colour on the swatches (on Google) although the swatches online are quite good under this category. It's kind of like a candy pink? When applied it goes on quite sheer, which can be applied lightly or built up for a brighter look. It's very wearable for a day time look and it also look's really nice layered over lipsticks as well.
What I like about NYX butter gloss is that they don't dry your lips out WHAT SO EVER, if anything they moisturise them. It's as if it's a gloss that has the same effects as a balm?
If that makes any sense haha! They just seem to melt into your lips, I can't wait to pick up some more of these in different shades.
When I were looking through the names of the butter glosses, they all had really cute kind of like dessert names? It's bizarre because the lip gloss itself smells sweet like a cake or something.
So you can get these in 12 different shades, which go from nude/pink to red and they are only retailed at £5.00 a tube.
 
Here is what the gloss looks like when on my lips with nothing else applied to them.
How gorgeous is this colour on? I'm in love!!!
 
NYX Cosmetics do not test their products on animals, which you will have seen me rave about on my previous NYX review. 
 
Have you tried on of their butter glosses before?
What's your holy grail lipgloss?

NYX Pump It Up Lip Plumper - Kim.

 

 

One guess at who this nude pump it up lip plumper is named after?
That's right! Our gorgeous Kim K, who is thee queen of nude lips
I wonder what she uses..hmmeeeeee.

The shade of this gloss is a light nude with orange/peachy tones, it is quite light but doesn't look scary looking on the lips or anything. As you do have to be quite careful with nudes as they can wash you out and look a little creepy! There's not really a scent to this lipgloss. I usally like mine to have a fruity scent to it, but i'm glad its not got that god awful chocolate smell to it (that is THEE worse).
Now the weird side to the lip gloss.. the plumping effect! It isn't actually too bad. I wouldn't say it's really noticeable, but I can tell when I look in the mirror. Some of the similar lip plumper's by other brands, I just can't wear as they irritate me. So if you suffer with chapped lips or anything like that then I highly doubt this will be the lipgloss for you.
I really like the packaging, design and labelling of this lipgloss with the injection on it, it's different but that's probably why I like it. Some people might think that it looks cheap or tacky, but I like it and that's all that matters. When I pulled the wand out of the tube I thought it looked quite sticky, but it's surprisingly not. It's really, really smooth and theres no stick to it at all. The only thing that would be better would be the wand size. If it were that little bit bigger, it would be perfect! As I find myself dipping in the bottle more than I usually do with this one.
So overall I really like the lip gloss :) You know me and my nudes hardly dislike one another.
Would I re-purchase this lipgloss? Yes I will! Although I don't think that will be for a while. As you do get quite a lot of product in them.
 
 
here is the lip plumper applied to my bare lips.
 
And to anyone that supports products that are cruelty free, you'll be totally fine with NYX as they do not test any of their products on animals, Yayyyy! :) The more I look into NYX Cosmetics the more and more I like them as a whole. As I've been looking into animal testing quite a lot recently I were so shocked to see that some of my all time favourites test on animals :(
For anyone that knows me or follows me via Instagram you'll know how much I love animals, so this really upsets me that they can even do this.
 
Have you tried any of the 'Pump it up' lip plumpers?
What's your favourite lipgloss for a natural everyday look?

NYX Round Lipstick in Iconic

 I have no idea why this top picture has made the lipstick look like it's a berry shade
 

NYX Cosmetics
LSS Round lipstick in 'Iconic'
& the Slim lip pencil in 'Nude Pink'.
 
So I finally made my first order with NYX, yayyyy! 
& I'm over the moon with my new little purchases (yes there's more).
Which means you'll have to come back and have a little nosey to see what else I picked up.
 
So I decided to try one of the famous 'Round Lipsticks' & YES that is a pink lipstick that I now own :o I cant believe it either.
 
Iconic & Nude Pink
here is a swatch of the lipstick & liner when applied to my lips.
 
First of all I have to tell you all how shocked I were when I first applied the lipstick to my lips. It is the most moisturising lipstick that I own and I instantly fell in love. It is AMAZING! The LSS Round lipsticks are a mineral-based emollient formula , which offers a beautiful velvet texture and a gorgeous colour pay off. Especially for the price I only ended up paying £2.50 for this lipstick. Reduced from £4.00 in their sale online. Everyone loves a bargain! What better way to test lipstick shades though? Can't say no with that price & there's 144 shades to choose from.
 
The shade itself is a pretty rose-nude with a touch of mauve, it's so pretty and subtle for an everyday look. I bet it look's lovely paired with some smoky eyes as well for when you're off to paint the town red. I never really got that saying, so I don't even know why I've just wrote it haha.
I'll definitely be going back for some more, you can never have enough lipsticks girls and boys :)
I wanted to buy 'Tea Rose', but it were out of stock, waaah.
 
As you can see the NYX slim lip liner is a must have for a natural nude shade looking lip with a slightly pink hue. So it is a perfect match for this lipstick and any other nude/natural lipstick that you may own. I really do rate these lip liners. They are easy to apply, blend able and so smooth on the lips. For just £3.50 you can't grumble. There's also lots & lots of shades to choose from with these too.
 
The only negatives about the lipstick is that it doesn't stay put, but I wouldn't really expect something not to budge when it's that moisturising on the lips. Then the finally point I have to make is RESEARCH the shade you're looking at buying as the swatches online are completely different to the lipstick shade. The best thing to do is to type in the name of the shade into Google e.g. Iconic swatches to show you the real shade that it is. 
 
Have you tried the round lipsticks?
What's your favourite shade to wear?
