My First NYX Haul

I got a bunch of new makeup recently.  Elf, Nyx, and Wallgreen's. I am really happy with the Elf and Nyx, but Walgreens was a bit of a dud. I only got 3 items there, two Covergirl eyeshadow quads, and lash glue. I was shocked to find the last glue was 3 times the cost of Kmart, so I won't be getting that at Walgreen's anymore.



The Nyx order is fresh on my mind, it just arrived a few days ago via UPS. Inside the box was well packed with protective bubble wrap and Nyx-logo tissue paper. The makeup inside was in an adorable drawstring lace bag. I got 5 pencil, two powder, and one cream product. The cream product was Nyx HD concealer in "light". I bought this for spot concealing, but have been using it under my eyes. I have never used an under eye concealer before and I am super happy with this one. I just wish the tube was bigger.


I have not tried all my pencils yet, but the two I have are the Slim Lip Pencil in "Rose" and Wonder Pencil in "light". The lip pencil in "Rose" matches my natural colour well and is great for under lip gloss. It's super creamy for a pencil and made in Germany. The Wonder Pencil is also super creamy. I have been using it to line my water line. It is a nice alternative to white.

I also got the HD mini powder in "Banana" Definitely a 5 star item.  I've been using this to set the under eye concealer, it does a good job with no creasing, and even though I am very cool-toned it looks good. Final item is the "I love you so Mochi" highlight pallatte. Its a huge splurge for me to spend on one item, but the price per gram of product is on target. I got the cool-toned highlighter in "Arcade Glam". My favourite so far is the blueish-toned one, which gives a nice glow on my pale skin.

To wrap things up the package also came with a sheet of stickers! I'm very happy overall with no complaints.
