NYX Hauls + Others

I can feel my blog molding already due to lack of posts!!! But no worries, I have pretty much a lot of stuffs to update since I have been away for some time (away from my PC i mean ;P)

The parcel I was waiting for so long has finally arrived. It carried my first ever NYX goodies. These goodies are famous for being cheap and good :D I guess their most famous products are their lipsticks which comes in multiple shades from nude peach to nude pink to hot pink to hot red. They are also famous for being MAC eyeshadow dupes. Bla bla bla, the list goes on and on about their goodies.

Let's see what I have here... Tadaa...

Just a mini haul

Lipsticks in Narcissus and Louisiana

Glitter Eyeliner in Disco Ball

Black Liquid Eyeliner

I also have their swatches. These lippies are hot pink colours. What I love about NYX lippies is that they are very true to their colours when applied on lip. But what I don't like is their smell. I'll show you what I mean later :D

Clockwise: Black Liquid Eyeliner, Disco Ball, Louisiana and Narcissus

I personally only dares to wear Narcissus out because Louisiana is too pigmented! That's why I mix them both together to get a lighter color although I still can't accept the outcome :P

Mixture of Louisiana and Narcissus

With only Narcissus

Also, something I have not mentioned, I've purchased the E.L.F. Studio Line Blush and Bronzing Powder! Retailing at $3 it is definitely a great deal! Also a famous dupe of NARS Orgasm/Laguna.

Love the colors? I heart them!

They are quite pigmented considering it being this cheap. I used them in my previous Mysterious Blue FOTD.

Another something new! A makeup bag (gift from my bf's sista) :D

It is a hot red one with two compartments, enough to store my babies. One part for my NYX babies and the others for my MAC babies. This makes a great travelling companion, an easy storage for all the makeup necessities in your bag.

Here's my NYX babies posing in their new home, lovely?

And finally, my new toy! The one I have been lemming for not so long ago :) Presenting to you, the new Panasonic Lumix FS15!!! You can check on the internet for the specs :P

Now that I have this, I can camwhore more effeciently, hehe...
