Review: NYX Lipsticks

Hello everyone!

I've been super occupied with school, and life ....and, well, I've been lazy :P Hence the lack of updates.
Today, I will be doing short reviews on some NYX lipsticks that I currently own. I purchased them from my local drugstores, online, and IMATS =).

  Swatches

Lip Smacking Fun Colors - LSS 630 Pumpkin Pie
Lip Smacking Fun Colors - LSS 628 Tea Rose 
Lip Smacking Fun Colors - LSS 640 Fig 
Lip Smacking Fun Colors - LSS 626 Vitamin
Tinted Lip Spa - TLS 04 Vintage
Matte Lipstick - MLS 22 Strawberry Daiquiri

Bare lips

The following three lipsticks are very similar in their formula:

• Very moisturizing; no lipbalm is required before application, unless used during winter
• Very pigmented; leaves a nice, creamy finish

Pumpkin Pie

This is a nice warm-toned coral nude shade.

Tea Rose

This colour is very similar to Fig, expect it is more on the purple side.

Fig

This colour is very similar to Tea Rose, except it is more on the bright pink side. My white balance is actually  off in this photo (sorry about that >.<), so it looks cool toned.

Vitamin

I'm not a big fan of this lipstick. Although moisturizing, it comes off quite sheer and glossy. It's not very pigmented on the lips.

Vintage

This is a nice light orange lipstick. If you're looking for a bright coloured lipstick I recommend this one for starters. It isn't too bold.

Strawberry Daiquiri

This is matte red lipstick with a warm undertone. I enjoy this lipstick because I am able to use it without worrying about my lips looking chapped compared to other matte lipsticks (like the Revlon Matte Lipsticks. I really don't like the formula of those). It's not dry at all.

Thanks for stopping by =) I hope this was useful in some way.

Review: e-glips & Peripera lipsticks

I've heard great things about the Korean cosmetics brand Peripera, so I decided to try out some of their lipsticks. Because #20 in Pink Beige was a popular liking, and I saw how amazing it looked on most, I knew I had to get my hands on it. Aside from purchasing lipsticks from Peripera, I came across another brand called e-glips, which I've never actually heard before. I discovered e-glips when I was browsing through some eBay sellers shops. They were only about $5 each, and the colour selection caught my eye, so I thought, why not? :)

My purchases (left to right)

• e-glips real color lipstick #27 Gracy
• e-glips lolly flower lipstick #17 Ylang Ylang Peach
• Peripera My Color #14 Mandarin Orange
• Peripera My Color #20 Pink Beige

Packaging
Here's how the packaging of each look like. As you can see, the packaging for these Peripera's lipsticks are very unique! Asian cosmetics are known for their beautiful packaging. However, some may find this bulky and a little too excessive.

Swatches (with flash)
I didn't go for colours that were too loud. I felt it was safer to purchase these kinds of colours, because afterall, when you buy online, you can only base the colour on what's shown as the description image. They all have some slight shimmer to them, but it is really not noticable when applied

My bare lips

e-glips real color lipstick #27 Gracy


(on my lips)

 I think it is very close to the image provided. It's definitely a beautiful, soft pink nude. I've been looking for a shade like this for the longest time! The formula is quite nice, too. It's not heavy feeling, and I didn't have to  moisturize my lips before application.

e-glips lolly flower lipstick #17 Ylang Ylang Peach

(on my lips)

 Another gorgeous shade. This is a nice colour to go for when you're just starting off with lipsticks and don't want to go too bold. Again, the formula is great. This has a slight peachy-sour scent to it.

Peripera My Color #14 Mandarin Orange

 To be honest, I'm not too impressed with these Peripera lipsticks. The formula doesn't work for me. My lips actually got chapped when I applied the lipstick without and with a lipbalm. Don't get me wrong, this shade is a pretty orange, but it's just the formula the bugs me.

Peripera My Color #20 Pink Beige

I had high hopes for this one. There are some days where this lipstick makes me look dead, or passable. I think that depends if my BB Cream makes my complexion look darker or lighter. But nonetheless, there is some purple in this, so those with a more cool undertone could appreciate this lipstick more than I :(

Overall, I enjoyed the majority of these lipsticks and may consider purchasing other lipstick shades by e-glips. You can buy Peripera products on their official website here, or on other online pages such as eBay (be cautious of counterfeits).
Feel free to leave me any questions or comments :)
