After
having an initial NYX splurge when a stand opened in Boots Meadowhall, I’d managed
to create another wish list of bits I needed to try. Thankfully, I didn’t go
too mad this time, sticking to three base products. NYX is quickly becoming my
go-to for good value makeup, plus the range is whopping. I always get way too
enthusiastic picking things out!
HD Finishing Powder
This I’ve
actually used the most so far. I’ve managed without a pressed powder for so
long… It was definitely time to invest in something to tackle the T-zone! In
the hope of avoiding anything cakey I went for this translucent option. Up to
now, I’ve loved this powder. It’s really light, gets rid of any shiny bits and
just seems to blur everything out nicely. I know there are a couple of other
shades in this so I’m definitely going to check those out too!
HD Photogenic Concealer
Both
concealer options I went for were based on the fact I loved the pinkish toned
one in the Colour Correcting Palette. I’ve already hit pan on that one, so I
wanted to find a similar shade in the NYX range that would last me a bit
longer. This one is currently way lighter than my fake tanned face, but I
wanted something to layer under foundation. I’ve mostly been using it to really
cover up dull areas, as this seems to cancel them out. It’s not overly thick
and doesn’t feel like it’s clogging up my pores, yet the pigment is opaque enough
to actually make a difference. Up to now it’s a like.
Dark Circle Concealer
A similarly
pinky/peach toned shade for taking on those under eye circles. Again, the
colour works well on my sallow tones, evening my skin tone out ready for
foundation. I’ve actually used this more around my mouth where I’ve got as much
discolouration as under my eyes – it works just as good there.
Have any of
you found your cult NYX products?! I’m constantly searching blogs for what I
should add to my next wish list. Ick… Must stop buying makeup!
