NYX Makeup

recently i went on a crazy makeup shopping spreeeee! :D :D :D i'm so excited, i wanna show you all the stuff i got! i'll spread them out bit by bit though (: it's so cool! (: now, i'm really quite a beginner at makeup and i don't really like putting on too much makeup (i don't usually wear makeup unless for special occasions) but now that i've got so much makeup, i can't wait to use it! :D whee! (:

well, after watching so many youtube videos (check out my favourites at the end of this post!), i discovered this brand NYX which sells really affordable makeup! :D as far as i know though, it is not retailed in any stores in singapore, so i had to get them online. i was a bit apprehensive about purchasing the products online cos i wasn't sure about the security (as i always worry everytime i try out a new blogshop) but the service turned out to be really really good. i was super impressed! :D the two places which i got my makeup from were mascara page and cherub's lips.  after i ordered and paid for my products, they arrived within like 2 working days, which i think is really pretty good! (: and when one of the products i received were spoilt, the nice owner of mascara page offered to send me a new one. so nice of her (: yay! i'll definitely visit their blogshops again if i need more makeup (:

so what first attracted me to NYX were the jumbo eye pencils! :D i think they're really adorable and useful :D they can be used either as eyeliner or eyeshadow, and they're really pigmented which is good! (: and cos they're thick, it makes them easy to use as well. the colours i got were black bean, dark brown and cottage cheese. i really love how the colour glides on smoothly and it's just really fun to use! (:

  
and when you have the pencils, you wanna make sure they are sharp so that you can get a precise line, so i got the nyx sharpener as well, which is specially for the jumbo pencils since they're fatter than normal eye pencils. but there are two different-sized holes, so you can use it for the normal eye pencils as well (:

another thing i got from them was the nyx round lipstick. i took a really really long time deciding this cos all the colours are soooooo pretty! :D :D :D but finally i decided on flower, vitamin and strawberry milk. haha they look kinda similar huh :P oops. but i realised vitamin and strawberry milk are really light! must get used to it, cos i usually like stronger colours. but they're really pretty and shimmery which i like :D they are really nice and smooth which is nice, and are really wearable (:
  
haha yupps that's all for now! will post more stuff soon (: the rest are from sephora whee! i really went on a shopping spree that day. never spent so much before O.O but i really needed retail therapy that week so oh well! :D heehee.

as promised, the makeup gurus:
