One Brand Favourites: Nyx


Hi guys!
So today, I thought I'd talk to you all a bit about my favourite products from Nyx.
Nyx only became available in Canadian stores this year and they have quickly become one of my favourite brands. While I still haven't tried all of their products (I have my eye on the Lip Lingerie liquid lipsticks that are only available online!), I have tried a good amount and I have many favourites that you all NEED to add to your collection!


1) Soft Matte Lip Creams
There is no surprise here. I am pretty obsessed with these. As far as drugstore matte liquid lipstick goes, these are the best. They also come in a great variety of colours, so whether you're looking for a vampy, dark mauve or a subtle nude, they have what you're looking for. The lasting power is great, and I don't find them to be overly drying. Overall, they're a must-have if you want to up your matte lip game without spending a ton!


2) Prismatic Eyeshadows
For me, these were love at first swatch. They are everything you want in an eyeshadow. They're buttery, smooth and insanely pigmented with little to no fallout. Bonus Tip: The shade "girl talk" also works as an amazing highlighter.


3) HD Concealer
This stuff works wonders, especially under the eyes. It's been described by many as a dupe for the Nars Creamy Concealer and with good reason; it gives great coverage, it's creamy and it isn't drying at all. I'm so glad I purchased this because it has been my go-to concealer ever since.


4) High Voltage Lipstick
I hardly ever hear people talk about these and I think that's such a shame. The pigmentation on these lipsticks are insane. They are so creamy and feel really hydrating on the lips, but also give such a great colour payoff. They also come in a huge variety of colours, you're definitely likely to find one that you like.


5) HD Blush in "Taupe"
When you first look at this product, you wonder why they would sell a blush in such a weird grey-brown colour. But this is the perfect contour shade: it's not too warm, it's not muddy or orange, it's perfect. I've seen this work fantastically on girls with darker complexion and it also looks great on me, and I am very fair skinned. It also has insane pigmentation so you need to have a light hand with this product. Highly recommended.

Review: Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Hello there! So I've been on the hunt for a shampoo to tame my wild hair for ages, so I picked up this during my recent Lush visit  in hopes that it would help with my thick, coarse, dry hair. According to Lush , this has: Stout to calm:  For all hair types but especially beneficial for fluffy, hard-to-manage hair. Friend to all scalps:  Yeast improves the health of the hair and scalp. For a polished finish:  Organic lemon juice is a gentle cleanser that adds masses of shine and gloss. After using this for a little while now, I can say that I'm pretty much still on the fence about it.  Pros:  Though my hair is still a little frizzy, its definitely a bit better than it used to be. My hair is also softer to the touch and shinier.  Cons: I've noticed my hair gets greasier a lot quicker since using this shampoo. I also feel as though it may be drying out my scalp, but it'll take a little more time to know for sure if its because of th...
