NYX Cream Rouge Blush

Back again with the Ulta Haul which I purchased the items online. NYX Cosmetics Rouge Cream Blush are $6.00 each unless you purchase with deals such as BOGOs or coupons. Each product has 0.12oz  (3.5g) which come in 12 different shades listed here: http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-25-rouge-cream-blush.aspx

Since I did buy these two products online from the Ulta website I did get a Buy One Get One 50% off. The two shades that I have are: on the left, CB01 Rose Petal, and on the right, CB09 Orange. Rose Petal is more of a natural soft pink that will be perfect for your cheeks any season of the year while Orange is more of a orange, coral color.

A fun fact about NYX Cosmetics are that they are cruelty free :) (They have a cute icon of a bunny with its' ears in a form of a heart!)

Product claims on the product from NYX Cosmetics website says, "More delicious than peaches and cream? We like to think so. Our velvety smooth mineral Rouge Cream Blush offers a sheer wash of radiant color. The glorious payoff is dewy, sultry and long-lasting. Available in 12 shades."

 If you can see from the swatch below these cream blushes are more liquidy and moisturizing then most products. Others can be more dry and solid. This is my second cream blush, the first being Maybelline Bouncy Blush in 20 Peach Satin. Being a creamy consistency cream blush, they do not last as long, about 4-6 hours fading but still visible on your cheeks. Packaging is cute, looks similar to Mac's. Color quality is very pigmented so DO BE CAREFUL! I insist on using a stippling brush to even distribute the product just so you don't look like a clown. This product has no smell, at least that I can't pick up. Compared to the Stick Blush, I think I the Rouge Cream Blushes are much more pigmented and are more worth the money than the Stick Blush. They last longer than the Stick Blush as well. Although if placed in extreme heat the product may show slight bubbling, but it is fine to use.

Blendability is awesome but remember to be careful with this blush. I love this blush and will repurchasing along with the Stick Blush!

NYX Stick Blush

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been posting as much as I would like. I have been very busy with school and time has been flying by so quicky! Here is a review on NYX's Stick Blush

NYX Cosmetics - Stick Blush in SB 06 Orchid

This product is available in 8 different shades in 0.013 ounces which is tad bit more offered than the cream blush. The company claims, "Add a touch of color with our creamy and extremely pigmented Stick Blush! Available in eight rich shades! Apply and receive the perfect glow every day!"

As seen I purchased this item with others on the Ulta website. When I opened this package I thought it was so adorable! The packaging came in a cute chubby looking plastic tube that shows the similar shade on the package to represent the shade inside. It snaps on and off and slides shut. It is retractable! It is very convinent for on-the-go to stick in your purse and apply as you please. With it being for on-the-go, the packaging is not flimsy so it will keep the product safe and from your bag. I recommend applying this product with a stippling brush because you can disperse the product evenly and not mess up the products underneath prior to applying blush.

This product transfers onto the skin very well and looks natural, it does not look shimmery on the cheeks. Guess looks can be deceiving. It is a pretty pinkish peach shade with some gold shimmers. I noticed it has a odd scent to it. I can't describe the scent but it is nothing annoying or overwhelming. It can be a sheer coverage but build able as well. The product is a creamy consistency but nothing too drying or too liquidy. Being a creamy consistency the product does fade over time, roughly 4-6 hours of wear. They blend very easily and does not look drying at all. I love this blush and I've been really wanting to buy more and more shades!

This product being compared to the rogue cream blushes, which I have yet to review are both different. The cream blush is more thicker, creamier, and more pigmented than the stick blushes. Although the stick blush have more product offered. Sucks right? In my opinion I would repurchase both and use them depending on my mood and how I want the finish to look. I am happy with my purchase and am glad I finally decided to purchase this product. 

Tip: If you want to make this product last longer, apply a powder blush on top!

NYX Hi Defintion Photo Concealer

I have always wanted to try NYX Cosmetics and now I have the chance. I have heard good things about this brand, although some consider NYX Cosmetics are considered "drugstore" because they are offered at various drugstores. They are on the cheaper end. If you did not already know I purchased this product online at the Ulta website. This was purchased with a deal for buy one get one 50%. The original price of this product is $4.99 but I got it for $2.50.

On the package it says it is high definition, mineral-enriched, talc-free and paraben free. All very great in such a cheap product! It comes in this little tube of 0.11oz or 3g. I purchased this in the shade CW03 Light. It claims that is it is, "Good for all skin types and softens lines. Its light diffusing effect is perfect for photos in the studio or for taking fun pix with your pals!"

It does not show up very well but the shade I purchased looks more of a pink undertone than yellow. Oh well, from the picture the shade looks like it matches my skin perfect and when it blends out, you can not see the product as well as hiding my vein a little. The product is a little more of a creamy consistency. I do not recommend putting this for your under eyes because it does settle into your fine lines. If i were to use this under my eyes I would use less product. It covers up redness pretty well and is easy to blend but I tend to use this when I have acne/zits.
